Subject: [PATCH v2 00/20] KVM: arm64: Generalise RESx handling
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 18:43:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260202184329.2724080-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
Having spent some time dealing with some dark corners of the
architecture, I have realised that our RESx handling is a bit patchy.
Specially when it comes to RES1 bits, which are not clearly defined in
config.c, and rely on band-aids such as FIXED_VALUE.
This series takes the excuse of adding SCTLR_EL2 sanitisation to bite
the bullet and pursue several goals:
- clearly define bits that are RES1 when a feature is absent
- have a unified data structure to manage both RES0 and RES1 bits
- deal with the annoying complexity of some features being
conditioned on E2H==1
- allow a single bit to take different RESx values depending on the
value of E2H
This allows quite a bit of cleanup, including the total removal of the
FIXED_VALUE horror, which was always a bizarre construct. We also get
a new debugfs file to introspect the RESx settings for a given guest.
Overall, this lowers the complexity of expressing the configuration
constraints, for very little code (most of the extra lines are
introduced by the debugfs stuff, and SCTLR_EL2 being added to the
sysreg file).
Patches on top of my kvm-arm64/vtcr branch (which is currently
simmering in -next).
* From v1 [1]
- Simplified RES0 handling by dropping the RES0_WHEN_E2Hx macros
- Cleaned up the kvm_{g,s}et_sysreg_resx() helpers
- Simplified dynamic RESx handling
- New improved debugfs handling, thanks to Fuad!
- Various clean-ups and spelling fixes
- Collected RBs (thanks Fuad and Joey!)
