Subject: [PATCH v3 02/18] KVM: arm64: Validate the host vCPU's VM before reading it under pKVM
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 12:33:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914113338.159227-3-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914113338.159227-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>

On an MTE-capable host under pKVM, enter_exception64() reads the VM's
MTE flag through vcpu->kvm, which for a host vCPU is a host-writable
pointer nothing validates. The host can point it at any address in the
hyp linear map and read back bit 1 of that word through PSR_TCO in the
vCPU's CPSR, or panic the hypervisor with an unmapped one.

Get the VM through a get/put pair around the read: a loaded vCPU's is
the hyp VM, an unloaded host vCPU's is read once and pinned, and a
pointer the host never shared leaves TCO clear.

Fixes: ea7fc1bb1cd1b ("KVM: arm64: Introduce MTE VM feature")
