Subject: [PATCH v19 08/14] KVM: arm64: Enforce EXLOCK for SPSR and ELR
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 20:12:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812-arm64-gcs-v19-8-9105afd828ac@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812-arm64-gcs-v19-0-9105afd828ac@kernel.org>
As per I_CFFNS and the pseudocode for the SPSR_ELx and ELR_ELx registers
a GCS exception with ExType 1 is generated for attempts to write to
those registers when both GCSCR_ELx.EXLOCKEN and PSTATE.EXLOCK are set.
Ensure that this is enforced for guests if access to these registers
from the guest is handled by the hypervisor.
Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
