Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Check ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer in reset_pmevtyper()
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 22:04:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929220411.3756519-1-coltonlewis@google.com> (raw)

When userspace initializes a vCPU with KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3 but sets
ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer to NI (0) or IMP_DEF (0xf, which is sanitized to
NI), resetting the vCPU invokes reset_pmevtyper(). Because
reset_pmevtyper() only checks kvm_vcpu_has_pmu(), it proceeds to call
kvm_pmu_evtyper_mask(), which reads PMUVer == 0 from ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 and
triggers a WARN_ONCE("Unknown PMU version 0") in __kvm_pmu_event_mask().

Check ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer directly in reset_pmevtyper() via
kvm_has_feat() instead of kvm_vcpu_has_pmu() so that PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0
resets to 0 without querying the event mask when PMUv3 is not exposed to
the guest.

Fixes: bc512d6a9b92 ("KVM: arm64: Make PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0.NSH RES0 if EL2 isn't advertised")
