[PATCH 0/2] KVM: arm64: Fix and test MMIO sign-extending loads

[Fuad Tabba]

Hi folks,

A sign-extending load (LDRSB/LDRSH/LDRSW) from emulated MMIO returns a
zero-extended value rather than the sign-extended one the architecture
requires; vcpu_data_host_to_guest() strips the sign bits when it masks
the data to the access width.

If my git archeology is right, the masking dates to 2014 (b30070862edbd,
big-endian support) and has been wrong ever since, but sign-extending
loads from device memory are rare enough that nobody hit it. Patch 1
fixes it; patch 2 adds a selftest so it doesn't regress.

Cheers,
/fuad
