Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: arm64: Hide FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA from guests
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 08:01:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023070110.1833446-2-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023070110.1833446-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>

Since commit 58ce78667a641 ("arm64: Add support for FEAT_{LS64,
LS64_V}"), a guest sees the host's ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.LS64, but KVM only
enables the FEAT_LS64 and FEAT_LS64_V instructions in HCRX_EL2. On a
host with FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA, a guest's ST64BV0 therefore traps and hits
the WARN_ON_ONCE() in handle_other(). ACCDATA_EL1 isn't trapped or
context-switched either, so every guest on that CPU shares it.

Rather than support FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA, which requires ACCDATA_EL1 to be
context-switched, cap the field at LS64_V. The guest's ACCDATA_EL1
accesses then UNDEF. This hides FEAT_LS64WB too, as it implies
FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA.

A VM saved on an older kernel can carry any level up to the host's, so
keep accepting those from the VMM, capped the same way. One saved at
LS64_ACCDATA or above restores at LS64_V.

Fixes: 58ce78667a641 ("arm64: Add support for FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V}")
