Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] KVM: arm64: Allow BT field in ID_AA64PFR1_EL1 writable
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2024 03:51:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240617075131.1006173-2-shahuang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240617075131.1006173-1-shahuang@redhat.com>
When migrating between some of the ARM machines, the BT field value in
ID_AA64PFR1_EL1 register is different and not writable. This causes
migration failed.
The BT field means Branch Target Identification mechanism support in
AArch64 state. The value 0 means BT is not implemented, the value 1
means BT is implemented.
Here is an example of the migration if the BT value is different:
* On Migration Src, the BT value is 0.
* On Migration Dst, the BT value is 1.
As it defined in the ftr_id_aa64dfr0, the samller value is safe. So if
we make the BT field writable, on the Migration Dst the BT field will
be overrided with value 0.
