Subject: [PATCH v6 6/9] KVM: arm64: Do not allow KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE for any guest in pKVM
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2025 10:47:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251211104710.151771-7-tabba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251211104710.151771-1-tabba@google.com>
Supporting MTE in pKVM introduces significant complexity to the
hypervisor at EL2, even for non-protected VMs, since it would require
EL2 to handle tag management.
For now, do not allow KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE for any VM type in protected mode.
