Subject: [PATCH v20 05/14] KVM: arm64: Set PSTATE.EXLOCK when entering an exception
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2026 22:47:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901-arm64-gcs-v20-5-f31750bdfadb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901-arm64-gcs-v20-0-f31750bdfadb@kernel.org>

As per DDI 0487 R_WTXBY we need to manage PSTATE.EXLOCK when entering an
exception, when the exception is entered from a lower EL the bit is cleared
while if entering from the same EL it is set to GCSCR_ELx.EXLOCKEN.
Implement this behaviour in enter_exception64().
