Subject: [PATCH 06/28] KVM: arm64: Classify CPTR_EL2 as a SR_LOC_SPECIAL register
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 17:02:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702160248.1377250-7-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702160248.1377250-1-maz@kernel.org>
It may not be obvious unless you look at it closely, but CPTR_EL2
is treated very differently from other registers. It is one the
registers that, despite looking very similar between EL1 and EL2
when E2H==1, have RES0 bits that get in the way.
Make it clear that CPTR_EL2 is odd by classifying it as SR_LOC_SPECIAL,
just like CNTHCTL_EL2 (and for the same reasons). This makes it
possible to use vcpu_read_sys_reg() with it, and will be necessary
once we support FEAT_NV2P1.
