Hi folks,
These six patches are standalone correctness fixes I'd like to land
before posting a follow-up to Will's pKVM infrastructure series [1]
that moves vCPU state management to EL2. Sending them separately keeps
the bigger series focused, but they are all valid fixes to have
regardless.
The first patch fixes feature detection for FEAT_Debugv8p9: it was
checking the wrong field in ID_AA64DFR0_EL1, causing KVM to treat
certain EL2 control bits as RES0 on hardware that implements the
feature.
The second patch is a trivial typo fix in comments.
The third patch fixes feature detection for FEAT_SPE_FnE, which was
also checking the wrong field.
The last three fix bugs in the pKVM vCPU and hypervisor initialisation
paths: a latent macro parameter bug, a pin-reference leak with a
publication ordering issue in __pkvm_init_vcpu(), and a call-ordering
hazard in __pkvm_init_finalise() that is benign today but becomes a
crash once fix_host_ownership() is extended to operate on a non-empty
page-table.
