When restoring HCR_EL2 for the host, KVM uses HCR_HOST_VHE_FLAGS, which
is a constant value. This works today, as the host HCR_EL2 value is
always the same, but this will get in the way of supporting extensions
that require HCR_EL2 bits to be set conditionally for the host.

To allow such features to work without KVM having to explicitly handle
every possible host feature combination, this patch has KVM save/restore
for the host HCR when switching to/from a guest HCR. The saving of the
register is done once during cpu hypervisor initialization state and is
just restored after switch from guest.

For fetching HCR_EL2 during kvm initialisation, a hyp call is made using
kvm_call_hyp and is helpful in non-VHE case.

For the hyp TLB maintenance code, __tlb_switch_to_host_vhe() is updated
to toggle the TGE bit with a RMW sequence, as we already do in
__tlb_switch_to_guest_vhe().

The value of hcr_el2 is now stored in struct kvm_cpu_context as both host
and guest can now use this field in a common way.

Minor nit: You could delete "host/guest" from the comment here.  This is
implied by the fact that the member is in struct kvm_cpu_context in the
first place.
ok. Agree with you.

host_ctxt is not otherwise used here, so can we convert it up-front so
that the argument to __deactivate_traps_nvhe() and
deactivate_traps_vhe() is a hyp pointer already?

So:

	struct kvm_cpu_context *hyp_host_ctxt;

	hyp_host_ctxt = kern_hyp_va(vcpu->arch.host_cpu_context);

  	/*
  	 * If we pended a virtual abort, preserve it until it gets
  	 * cleared. See D1.14.3 (Virtual Interrupts) for details, but
  	 * the crucial bit is "On taking a vSError interrupt,
  	 * HCR_EL2.VSE is cleared to 0."
  	 */
-	if (vcpu->arch.hcr_el2 & HCR_VSE)
-		vcpu->arch.hcr_el2 = read_sysreg(hcr_el2);
+	if (vcpu->arch.ctxt.hcr_el2 & HCR_VSE)
+		vcpu->arch.ctxt.hcr_el2 = read_sysreg(hcr_el2);
if (has_vhe())
-		deactivate_traps_vhe();
+		deactivate_traps_vhe(host_ctxt);
  	else
-		__deactivate_traps_nvhe();
+		__deactivate_traps_nvhe(host_ctxt);

Then just pass hyp_host_ctxt to both of these, and drop the
kern_hyp_va() conversion from __deactivate_traps_nvhe().

This may be a bit less confusing.
Yes your explanation makes sense.

Alternatively, just pass in the vcpu pointer (since this pattern is
already well established all over the place).
I think passing vcpu as parameter will make it consistent with other existing functions. __kvm_vcpu_run_nvhe function also takes vcpu and extracts hyp_host_ctxt.

Another option could be to pull the hcr_el2 write out of the backends
entirely and put it in this common code instead.  This doesn't look
straightforward though (or at least, I don't remember enough about how
all these traps handling functions fit together...)
ok.

Thanks,
Amit D
