Subject: [PATCH 03/17] KVM: arm64: Reject the PVTIME vCPU attribute for protected VMs
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 17:34:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831163421.272420-4-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831163421.272420-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>
pKVM currently does not support steal time for protected guests:
KVM_CAP_STEAL_TIME reports 0 for them. The host still accepts the
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PVTIME_CTRL attribute, whose IPA would point
kvm_update_stolen_time() at the guest's private memory on every vCPU
load. Return -EPERM for the attribute group instead.
