Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Finalize ID registers only once per VM
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 17:30:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110173010.1918424-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)

Owing to the ID registers being global to the VM, there is no point
in computing them more than once.  However, recent changes making
use of kvm_set_vm_id_reg() outlined that we repeatedly hammer
the ID registers when we shouldn't.

Gate the ID reg update on the VM having never run.

Fixes: 50e7cce81b9b2 ("KVM: arm64: Limit clearing of ID_{AA64PFR0,PFR1}_EL1.GIC to userspace irqchip")
Fixes: 5cb57a1aff755 ("KVM: arm64: Zero ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC when no GICv3 is presented to the guest")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/aRHf6x5umkTYhYJ3@finisterre.sirena.org.uk
