Subject: [PATCH v13 11/32] KVM: arm64: Remove special case for FP state loading from ZCR_EL2 traps
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:07:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720-kvm-arm64-sme-v13-11-d9abd3ffa245@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720-kvm-arm64-sme-v13-0-d9abd3ffa245@kernel.org>

As part of adding the nested virtualisation support commit 0cfc85b8f5cf3
("KVM: arm64: nv: Load guest FP state for ZCR_EL2 trap") added code
which handles access to ZCR_EL2 from a guest as a SVE access trap.
While the reasoning for this was not specifically articulated in the
commit log it was part of the lazy switching mechanism that we used to
have for ZCR_ELx.  Since commit 59419f10045bc ("KVM: arm64: Eagerly
switch ZCR_EL{1,2}") this mechanism has been removed.  We now switch
ZCR_EL2 in the hypervisor when transitioning between guest and host,
meaning that we no longer need the special casing.

Remove the redundant special casing, this simplifies the code and will
make the implementation of SME support (which architecturally follows a
similar pattern to SVE) easier.  Accesses to ZCR_EL2 from a nested EL2
will use the standard system register access handling path which works
with the in memory copy, and if the FP state is not yet loaded any
floating point operations will cause an access trap which we handle by
loading the state.
