Subject: [PATCH 1/6] arm64: Add MT_S2{,_FWB}_AS_S1 encodings
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 10:56:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260119105651.255693-2-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260119105651.255693-1-maz@kernel.org>

pKVM usage of S2 translation on the host is purely for isolation
purposes, not translation. To that effect, the memory attributes
being used must be that of S1.

With FWB=0, this is easily achieved by using the Normal Cacheable
type (which is the weakest possible memory type) at S2, and let S1
pick something stronger as required.

With FWB=1, the attributes are combined in a different way, and we
cannot arbitrarily use Normal Cacheable. We can, however, use a
memattr encoding that indicates that the final attributes are that
of Stage-1.

Add these encoding and a few pointers to the relevant parts of the
specification. It might come handy some day.
