Subject: [PATCH 6.15.y 3/5] KVM: arm64: Handle out-of-bound write to MDCR_EL2.HPMN
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 17:18:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250813211820.2074887-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250813211820.2074887-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit efff9dd2fee7a5969b5b2a04995e638c3ba15826 ]
We don't really pay attention to what gets written to MDCR_EL2.HPMN,
and funky guests could play ugly games on us.
Restrict what gets written there, and limit the number of counters
to what the PMU is allowed to have.
