Subject: [PATCH v2 07/28] KVM: arm64: Don't evaluate HCR_EL2.NV nor HFGITR_EL2.ERET on ERET fast path
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 10:16:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714091641.1970822-8-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260714091641.1970822-1-maz@kernel.org>

We currently avoid using the ERET fast path if the guest has HCR_EL2.NV
set. This is an odd check, as NV doesn't mean much if HCR_EL2.TGE==1.

Similarly, evaluating HFGITR_EL2.ERET makes little sense, as
this only applies to the nested context, while the ERET fast-path
is purely for the benefit of L1.

Replace these bizarre checks with is_nested_ctxt() which makes a lot
more sense: if we are running an L2, the ERET trap must go to L1.

Fixes: dd0717a998f77 ("KVM: arm64: nv: Fast-track 'InHost' exception returns")
