Subject: [PATCH v18 12/23] KVM: arm64: Widen the scope of "protected" VMs
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 17:01:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915160141.3543048-13-suzuki.poulose@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915160141.3543048-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com>
On arm64 we have "protected" VMs that run on PKVM as a confidential compute
guest. Given we already have the construct of "kvm_vm_is_protected" in the core
KVM code, use that for all confidential compute guests including Realms that
we are about to add.
Use the VM flavor to detect the "protected" VMs by introducing a marker.
Add explicit helper to detect if a given VM is a "protected" VM under PKVM.
Change the existing users that precisely want to check the VM type. These
include :
- kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region - For preventing memslot changes after pVM
creation.
All the others are retained as a wider check for confidential guest VMs.
These are:
- kvm_vm_ioctl_set_counter_offset - For disallowing timer offset configuration
- io_mem_abort for dabt handling without valid syndrome information
Both of which are true for Realms too.
Realms support is restricted to VHE host and thus "kvm_vm_is_protected()"
checks in the pkvm hyp specific code doesn't need to change, as the only
protected guests it deals with is "protected PKVM" guests.
