Subject: [PATCH 04/14] KVM: arm64: Mediate host access to GIC/ITS MMIO via unmapping
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 12:49:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310124933.830025-5-sebastianene@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260310124933.830025-1-sebastianene@google.com>
Unmap the ITS MMIO region from the host address space to enforce
hypervisor mediation.
Identify the ITS base address from the device tree and store it in a
protected region. A callback is registered to handle host accesses to
this region; currently, the handler simply forwards all MMIO requests
to the physical hardware. This provides the infrastructure for future
hardware state validation without changing current behavior.
