Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] KVM: arm64: GICv3: nv: Resync LRs/VMCR/HCR early for better MI emulation
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 09:15:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117091527.1119213-4-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251117091527.1119213-1-maz@kernel.org>
The current approach to nested GICv3 support is to not do anything
while L2 is running, wait a transition from L2 to L1 to resync
LRs, VMCR and HCR, and only then evaluate the state to decide
whether to generate a maintenance interrupt.
This doesn't provide a good quality of emulation, and it would be
far preferable to find out early that we need to perform a switch.
Move the LRs/VMCR and HCR resync into vgic_v3_sync_nested(), so
that we have most of the state available. As we turning the vgic
off at this stage to avoid a screaming host MI, add a new helper
vgic_v3_flush_nested() that switches the vgic on again. The MI can
then be directly injected as required.
