Subject: [PATCH v11 18/29] KVM: arm64: Support SME priority registers
Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2026 01:51:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709-kvm-arm64-sme-v11-18-32799f66db9d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709-kvm-arm64-sme-v11-0-32799f66db9d@kernel.org>
SME has optional support for configuring the relative priorities of PEs
in systems where they share a single SME hardware block, known as a
SMCU. Currently we do not have any support for this in Linux and will
also hide it from KVM guests, pending experience with practical
implementations. The interface for configuring priority support is via
two new system registers, these registers are always defined when SME is
available.
The register SMPRI_EL1 allows control of SME execution priorities. Since
we disable SME priority support for guests this register is RES0, define
it as such and enable fine grained traps for SMPRI_EL1 to ensure that
guests can't write to it even if the hardware supports priorities. Since
the register should be readable with fixed contents we only trap writes,
not reads. Since there is no host support for using priorities the
register currently left with a value of 0 by the host so we do not need
to update the value for guests.
There is also an EL2 register SMPRIMAP_EL2 for virtualisation of
priorities, this is RES0 when priority configuration is not supported
but has no specific traps available. When saving state from a nested
guest we overwrite any value the guest stored.
