FEAT_IDST appeared in ARMv8.4, and allows ID registers to be trapped
if they are not implemented. This only concerns 3 registers (GMID_EL1,
CCSIDR2_EL1 and SMIDR_EL1), which are part of features that may not be
exposed to the guest even if present on the host.
For these registers, the HW should report them with EC=0x18, even if
the feature isn't implemented.
Add support for this feature by handling these registers in a specific
way and implementing GMID_EL1 support in the process. A very basic
selftest checks that these registers behave as expected.
* From v2: [2]
- Repainted ID_AA64MMFR2_EL1.IDS description (Oliver)
- Made the IDST handling more generic in the core KVM code, which
resulted in the series being restructured a bit
- Added handling to pKVM (in a slightly different way, as pKVM
insist on seeing a full enumeration of the trapped registers)
- Some cleanups
- Collected RBs, with thanks
* From v1: [1]
- Fixed commit message in patch #4 (Ben)
- Collected RB, with thanks (Joey)
