Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Inject UNDEF when host is executing an smc with imm16 != 0
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 13:57:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324135728.3532400-1-sebastianene@google.com> (raw)
The ARM Service Calling Convention (SMCCC) specifies that the function
identifier and parameters should be passed in registers, leaving the
16-bit immediate field of the SMC instruction un-handled.
Currently, our pKVM handler ignores the immediate value, which could lead
to non-compliant software relying on implementation-defined behavior.
Enforce the host kernel running under pKVM to use an immediate value
of 0 by decoding the ISS from the ESR_EL2 and inject an undefined
instruction exception back to the caller.
