[PATCH 05/21] KVM: arm64: Protect TPIDRRO_EL0 across guest entry/exit

Will Deacon will at kernel.org
Mon Sep 7 09:42:30 PDT 2026


From: Mostafa Saleh <smostafa at google.com>

To prepare for using TPIDRRO_EL0 to hold 'current' and repurposing
SP_EL0 as an overflow stack pointer, eagerly switch both registers when
entering and exiting the guest.
