Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] KVM: arm64: GICv3: Completely disable trapping on vcpu exit
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 09:15:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117091527.1119213-3-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251117091527.1119213-1-maz@kernel.org>
Fuad reports that on QEMU, the DIR trapping is still effective after
a vcpu exit and that the host is running nVHE, resulting in a BUG()
(we only expect DIR to be trapped for the guest, and never the host).
As it turns out, this is an implementation-dependent behaviour, which
the architecture allows, but that seem to be relatively uncommon across
implementations.
Fix this by completely zeroing the ICH_HCR_EL2 register when the
vcpu exits.
Reported-by: Fuad Tabba <tabba@google.com>
Fixes: ca30799f7c2d0 ("KVM: arm64: Turn vgic-v3 errata traps into a patched-in constant")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CA+EHjTzRwswNq+hZQDD5tXj+-0nr04OmR201mHmi82FJ0VHuJA@mail.gmail.com
