Hi folks,

After sashiko caught the missing IL bug [1], I did an audit of all ESR
syndrome construction sites in KVM/arm64 as Marc suggested. This series
is the result of that audit.

The ARM architecture mandates ESR_ELx.IL=1 for several exception
classes regardless of instruction length: EC=Unknown, Instruction
Aborts, Data Aborts with ISV=0, and SError. For FPAC (EC=0x1C), IL
reflects instruction length, but FPAC can only be generated by A64
instructions, so IL must also be 1.

Patch 1 is the bug sashiko found: inject_undef64() in the pKVM hyp (EL2)
path never set IL.
Patch 2 makes the same fix to inject_undef64() in the normal host path,
where IL was derived from the triggering trap's instruction length. No
instruction that reaches undef injection has a 16-bit encoding, so patch
2 has no functional change today.
Patch 3 makes the matching fix to inject_abt64(). Unlike undef injection,
abort injection is reachable from a 16-bit T32 instruction (a 32-bit EL0
task under an AArch64 EL1 guest), so the old code there injects an abort
with IL=0.
Patch 4 fixes the FPAC syndrome constructed during nested ERET
emulation, which did not set IL.
Patches 5-6 fix SError injection in the emulated and nested paths,
neither of which set IL.
Patch 7 fixes a fake ESR used to exit to the host. The host does not
read IL there, so it is not guest-visible.

Based on Linux 7.1-rc7

Cheers,
