Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] KVM: arm64: nv: Even more VNCR fixes
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 11:51:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609185204.745929-4-oupton@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609185204.745929-1-oupton@kernel.org>

Yes, even more.

On top of the first pile:

 - KVM needs to fault in the PFN for write before mapping the L1 VNCR
   with write permissions in the host stage-1

 - Hack to prevent KVM from mapping a non-memory PFN with cacheable
   mappings. This doesn't align perfectly with the semantics at stage-2,
   boo hoo.

 - Bonus change to break VNCR abort loops in case by bugging the VM if
   KVM doesn't know how to handle the fault

Tested by running an L3 VM with kvmarm/next

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20260608161446.718957-1-oupton@kernel.org/

Oliver Upton (5):
  KVM: arm64: nv: Respect read-only PFN when mapping L1 VNCR
  KVM: arm64: nv: Inject SEA if kvm_translate_vncr() can't resolve PFN
  KVM: arm64: nv: Re-translate VNCR before injecting abort
  KVM: arm64: nv: Inject SEA if guest VNCR isn't normal memory
  KVM: arm64: nv: Mark VM as bugged for unexpected VNCR abort
