Subject: [PATCH v14 31/44] KVM: arm64: Validate register access for a Realm VM
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 14:17:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513131757.116630-32-steven.price@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260513131757.116630-1-steven.price@arm.com>
The RMM only allows setting the GPRS (x0-x30) and PC for a realm
guest. Check this in kvm_arm_set_reg() so that the VMM can receive a
suitable error return if other registers are written to.
The RMM makes similar restrictions for reading of the guest's registers
(this is *confidential* compute after all), however we don't impose the
restriction here. This allows the VMM to read (stale) values from the
registers which might be useful to read back the initial values even if
the RMM doesn't provide the latest version. For migration of a realm VM,
a new interface will be needed so that the VMM can receive an
(encrypted) blob of the VM's state.

Changes since v5:
* Upper GPRS can be set as part of a HOST_CALL return, so fix up the
test to allow them.
