Subject: [PATCH v20 13/22] KVM: arm64: Mandate VGIC v3 for pKVM VMs and Realms
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 17:04:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924160504.853911-14-suzuki.poulose@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924160504.853911-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com>

pKVM does not trust the host. Realm VMs follow a similar trust model, with
the Realm Management Monitor owning the protected state instead of the host.
Add a helper to identify VMs that run under a host-distrusting hypervisor.

Use this for blocking ioremap of vgic-v2 into stage2 and prevent creation of
VGIC other than v3.

Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cameron <jonathan.cameron@oss.qualcomm.com>
Tested-by: Gavin Shan <gshan@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com>

Changes since v18:
 - Cover pKVM guests for VGIC v3 mandate.
 - Merge the VGIC mandate check in here.
