[PATCH 0/3] KVM: arm64: Limit feature register reads from AArch32

KVM/arm64 does not restrict the guest's view of the AArch32 feature
registers when read from AArch32. HCR_EL2.TID3 is cleared for AArch32
guests, meaning that register reads come straight from hardware. This is
problematic as KVM relies on read_sanitised_ftr_reg() to expose a set of
features consistent for a particular system.

Appropriate handlers must first be put in place for CP10 and CP15 ID
register accesses before setting TID3. Rather than exhaustively
enumerating each of the encodings for CP10 and CP15 registers, take the
lazy route and aim the register accesses at the AArch64 system register
table.

Patch 1 reroutes the CP15 registers into the AArch64 table, taking care
to immediately RAZ undefined ranges of registers. This is done to avoid
possibly conflicting with encodings for future AArch64 registers.

Patch 2 installs an exit handler for the CP10 ID registers and also
relies on the general AArch64 register handler to implement reads.

Finally, patch 3 actually sets TID3 for AArch32 guests, providing
known-safe values for feature register accesses.

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide whether or not I'm
being _too_ lazy here ;-)

Series applies cleanly to kvmarm/fixes at commit:

  8872d9b3e35a ("KVM: arm64: Drop unneeded minor version check from PSCI v1.x handler")

Tested with AArch32 kvm-unit-tests and booting an AArch32 debian image
on a Raspberry Pi 4. Nothing seems to have gone up in smoke yet...
