- SVC: KVM itself never traps it, so any trap of SVC must be the
result of a guest trap -- we don't need to do any demultiplexing. We
thus directly inject the trap back. This is what the comment in
handle_svc() tries to capture, but obviously fails to convey the
point.
- ERET: This is already handled since 6898a55ce38c ("KVM: arm64: nv:
Handle trapped ERET from virtual EL2"). Similarly to SVC, KVM never
traps it unless we run NV.
Now, looking into it, I think I'm missing the additional case where
the L2 guest runs at vEL1. I'm about to add the following patchlet:
diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/handle_exit.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/handle_exit.c

return 1;
}
Does the above help?
Thanks,
M.
