Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: arm64: nv: Track L2 to L1 exception emulation
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 15:07:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512140755.3676306-2-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512140755.3676306-1-maz@kernel.org>

While we currently track that we are emulating a nested ERET from
L1 to L2, we currently don't track the reverse direction (an exception
going from L2 to L1).

Add a new vcpu state flag for this purpose, which will see some
use shortly.
