Subject: [PATCH v4] RISC-V: KVM: Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for split two-stage TLBs
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 16:45:55 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117084555.157642-1-minachou@andestech.com> (raw)
Most implementations cache the combined result of two-stage
translation, but some, like Andes cores, use split TLBs that
store VS-stage and G-stage entries separately.
On such systems, when a VCPU migrates to another CPU, an additional
HFENCE.VVMA is required to avoid using stale VS-stage entries, which
could otherwise cause guest faults.
Introduce a static key to identify CPUs with split two-stage TLBs.
When enabled, KVM issues an extra HFENCE.VVMA on VCPU migration to
prevent stale VS-stage mappings.

Changelog:
v4:
- Rename the patch subject
- Remove the Fixes tag
- Add a static key so that HFENCE.VVMA is issued only on CPUs with
split two-stage TLBs
- Add kvm_riscv_setup_vendor_features() to detect mvendorid/marchid
and enable the key when required
v3:
- Resolved build warning; updated header declaration and call side to
kvm_riscv_local_tlb_sanitize
- Add Radim Krčmář's Reviewed-by tag
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251023032517.2527193-1-minachou@andestech.com/)
v2:
- Updated Fixes commit to 92e450507d56
- Renamed function to kvm_riscv_local_tlb_sanitize
