Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: arm64: nv: Don't advance PC when pending an SVE exception
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 12:41:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250926194108.84093-3-oliver.upton@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250926194108.84093-1-oliver.upton@linux.dev>
From: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
Jan reports that running a nested guest on Neoverse-V2 leads to a WARN
in the host due to simultaneously pending an exception and PC increment
after an access to ZCR_EL2.
Returning true from a sysreg accessor is an indication that the sysreg
instruction has been retired. Of course this isn't the case when we've
pended a synchronous SVE exception for the guest. Fix the return value
and let the exception propagate to the guest as usual.
