charset="UTF-8" From: Marc Zyngier [ Upstream commit ca88ecdce5f5127ef2ee241b12b23a7e03c6210f ] We currently have two ways to identify CPUs that only implement FEAT_VHE and not FEAT_E2H0: - either they advertise it via ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0, - or the HCR_EL2.E2H bit is RAO/WI However, there is a third category of "cpus" that fall between these two cases: on CPUs that do not implement FEAT_FGT, it is IMPDEF whether an access to ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1 can trap to EL2 when the register value is zero. A consequence of this is that on systems such as Neoverse V2, a NV guest cannot reliably detect that it is in a VHE-only configuration (E2H is writable, and ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 is 0), despite the hypervisor's best effort to repaint the id register. Replace the RAO/WI test by a sequence that makes use of the VHE register remnapping between EL1 and EL2 to detect this situation, and work out whether we get the VHE behaviour even after having set HCR_EL2.E2H to 0. This solves the NV problem, and provides a more reliable acid test for CPUs that do not completely follow the letter of the architecture while providing a RES1 behaviour for HCR_EL2.E2H.
