Subject: [PATCH 0/2] arm{,64}/kvm: survive unknown traps from guests
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:30:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1487593812-9174-1-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)

As future versions of the architecture add trappable functionality, it is
possible that KVM guests may be able to trigger exceptions that KVM doesn't
currently understand. Currently, we will BUG() if we take such an exception.

While we can't handle such traps very gracefully, we should limit any fallout
to the guest, rather than allowing guests to potentially bring down the host.

These patches try to make arm/arm64 KVM robust in these cases.

Thanks,
Mark.
