[PATCH 0/3] KVM: arm64: support MTE in protected VMs

[Peter Collingbourne]

Hi,

This patch series contains a proposed extension to pKVM that allows MTE
to be exposed to the protected guests. It is based on the base pKVM
series previously sent to the list [1] and later rebased to 5.19-rc2
and uploaded to [2].

This series takes precautions against host compromise of the guests
via direct access to their tag storage, by preventing the host from
accessing the tag storage via stage 2 page tables. The device tree
must describe the physical memory address of the tag storage, if any,
and the memory nodes must declare that the tag storage location is
described. Otherwise, the MTE feature is disabled in protected guests.

Now that we can easily do so, we also prevent the host from accessing
any unmapped reserved-memory regions without a driver, as the host
has no business accessing that memory.

A proposed extension to the devicetree specification is available at
[3], a patched version of QEMU that produces the required device tree
nodes is available at [4] and a patched version of the crosvm hypervisor
that enables MTE is available at [5].
