Subject: [PATCH v2 06/19] KVM: arm64: selftests: Add protected-VM boot trampoline
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 08:48:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109084854.840576-7-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109084854.840576-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>
From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
EL2 takes only PC and X0 from the host when it boots a protected vCPU,
and resets everything else. So the registers the selftest library sets
before the first run never reach the guest.
Boot a protected guest through a trampoline that restores X0-X7, seven
EL1 system registers and the stack pointer from a block X0 points to,
then enables the MMU and branches to the guest's entry point.
