Subject: [PATCH v6 2/9] KVM: arm64: Fix Trace Buffer trap polarity for protected VMs
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2025 10:47:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251211104710.151771-3-tabba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251211104710.151771-1-tabba@google.com>
The E2TB bits in MDCR_EL2 control trapping of Trace Buffer system
register accesses. These accesses are trapped to EL2 when the bits are
clear.
The trap initialization logic for protected VMs in pvm_init_traps_mdcr()
had the polarity inverted. When a guest did not support the Trace Buffer
feature, the code was setting E2TB. This incorrectly disabled the trap,
potentially allowing a protected guest to access registers for a feature
it was not given.
Fix this by inverting the operation.
Fixes: f50758260bff ("KVM: arm64: Group setting traps for protected VMs by control register")
