flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vCPU context and vGIC state into the
hyp's private vCPU on every run. This series sanitises two fields that
it currently copies verbatim (host -> EL2): __hyp_running_vcpu is
cleared in the guest context, and used_lrs is bounded by the number of
implemented list registers.
Changes in v3:
- 2/2: replicate kvm_vgic_global_state.nr_lr into hyp_gicv3_nr_lr
once at init (guarded by gicv3_cpuif), instead of reading
ICH_VTR_EL2 on every entry behind a gicv3_cpuif gate. (Marc)
- v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260604151210.1304051-1-imv4bel@gmail.com/
Changes in v2:
- split into two patches, one per field, per review.
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aiFe-CXo-XVTFz1g@v4bel/

flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vCPU context into the hyp's private
vCPU on every run. ctxt_to_vcpu() expects a guest context to have a
NULL __hyp_running_vcpu, which is only ever set on the host context, so
that it resolves the vCPU via container_of(). While this is generally
the case, flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the context verbatim and does not
enforce this, so a value provided by the host is dereferenced at EL2
(host -> EL2).
Fix by clearing __hyp_running_vcpu after the copy.

flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vGIC state into the hyp's private vCPU
on every run. The vGIC list register save and restore use used_lrs as
their loop bound and expect it to stay within the number of implemented
list registers. While this is generally the case, flush_hyp_vcpu()
copies vgic_v3 verbatim and does not enforce this, so a value provided
by the host is used at EL2 to index vgic_lr[] and access ICH_LR<n>_EL2
(host -> EL2).
Fix by clamping used_lrs to the number of implemented list registers
after the copy, as the trusted path already does in
vgic_flush_lr_state(). The number of implemented list registers is
constant after init, so it is replicated once from
kvm_vgic_global_state.nr_lr into hyp_gicv3_nr_lr rather than read on
every entry.
