[PATCH 13/17] KVM: arm64: Add per-EC entry/exit state marshalling for protected guests

Fuad Tabba fuad.tabba at linux.dev
Mon Aug 31 09:34:17 PDT 2026


Move a protected guest's state between the hyp vCPU and the host per
exception class instead of copying the whole context. Add
entry_hyp_pvm_handlers[] and exit_hyp_pvm_handlers[] for WFx, SYS64,
IABT, DABT and HVC64, and route protected guests through them: on exit
each handler copies out only what its class needs, and on re-entry
only what the host may have changed, once the host has completed the
access (INCREMENT_PC). entry_hyp_vm_handlers[] is removed: a
non-protected vCPU's iflags are copied wholesale.

The host's fault view is EL2's own syndrome with the guest register
index withheld, plus the addresses each class needs. The value of a
written register is passed in r0. MMIO data is clamped to the access
width and, for a load, sign-extended at EL2 from EL2's syndrome.
Endianness stays with the host.

Neither dispatch runs for a trap taken with an SError pending: EL2
does not handle it, and the guest replays it once the host has
injected the SError. The exit handlers would otherwise marshal a trap
EL2 never handled, and handle_pvm_exit_hvc64() would panic on an
unfiltered function id.

Wire in the HVC64 entry and exit handlers added earlier in the series.
