Subject: [RFC PATCH v7 23/28] KVM: arm64: Add kvm-arm.ignore_spe_errata kernel parameter
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 17:06:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903160623.315525-24-alexandru.elisei@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903160623.315525-1-alexandru.elisei@arm.com>
Add a new kernel command line parameter, kvm-arm.ignore_spe_errata with the
effect of ignoring any errata that might inhibit userspace from creating a
SPE enabled virtual machine.
