VNCR/TLBI VA reconstruction currently uses bit 48 as the sign bit,
but for 48-bit virtual addresses the correct sign bit is bit 47.
Using 48 can mis-canonicalize addresses in the negative half and may
cause missed invalidations.
Although VNCR_EL2 encodes other architectural fields (RESS, BADDR;
see Arm ARM D24.2.206), sign_extend64() interprets its second argument
as the index of the sign bit. Passing 48 prevents propagation of the
canonical sign bit for 48-bit VAs.
Impact:
- Incorrect canonicalization of VAs with bit47=1
- Potential stale VNCR pseudo-TLB entries after TLBI or MMU notifier
- Possible incorrect translation/permissions or DoS when combined
with other issues
Fixes: 667304740537 ("KVM: arm64: Mask out non-VA bits from TLBI VA* on VNCR invalidation")
