Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Filter out HCR_EL2.VSE when running in hypervisor context
Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2025 12:33:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250720113334.218099-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
HCR_EL2.VSE is delivering a virtual SError to the guest, and does not
affect EL2 itself. However, when computing the host's HCR_EL2 value,
we take the guest's view of HCR_EL2.VSE at face value, and apply it
irrespective of the guest's exception level we are returning to.
The result is that a L1 hypervisor injecting a virtual SError to an L2
by setting its HCR_EL2.VSE to 1 results in itself getting the SError
as if it was a physical one if it traps for any reason before returning
to L2.
Fix it by filtering HCR_EL2.VSE out when entering the L1 host context.
Fixes: 04ab519bb86df ("KVM: arm64: nv: Configure HCR_EL2 for FEAT_NV2")
