Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Reject the stage-2 MMU pointer hypercalls under pKVM
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 18:45:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914174521.832575-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
The five hypercalls that take a struct kvm_s2_mmu pointer remain
callable after pKVM finalises, and each dereferences the host pointer
in __load_stage2(). Under pKVM none of them has a valid caller: the
host walks no guest stage-2, its TLB flushes go through the handle-based
__pkvm_tlb_flush_vmid, and kvm_arch_vcpu_load() skips the CPU context
flush.
Reject all five when protected mode is enabled.
