Subject: [PATCH v2 04/17] KVM: arm64: Skip fixed-feature state flush for protected vCPUs
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 07:59:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907070002.3333525-5-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907070002.3333525-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>
flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host's mdcr_el2, TWI/TWE and debug state
into the hyp vCPU on every entry, so for a protected vCPU the host's
trap configuration overrides the one pkvm_vcpu_init_traps() computed
at EL2. Move the mdcr_el2 and TWI/TWE copies into the non-protected
branch, and return early from flush_debug_state() and
sync_debug_state() for a protected vCPU: its debug registers are
hypervisor-owned, and it takes the host's TWI/TWE at vCPU load.
MDCR_EL2.TDA traps only the guest's own accesses; it doesn't stop the
world switch from loading host-supplied breakpoints and MDSCR_EL1.
EL2's mdcr_el2 starts from 0, and HPMN == 0 is reserved without
FEAT_HPMN0. Set HPMN to the CPU's event counter count at vCPU load,
the value the host's copy carried; a protected guest's PMU accesses
trap regardless.
