Hi,
While looking at the KVM code, I realised that our exception injection handling
isn't quite right, as it generates the target PSTATE/CPSR from scratch, and
doesn't handle all bits which need to be (conditionally) cleared or set upon
taking an exception.
The first two patches address this for injecting exceptions into AArch64 and
AArch32 contexts respectively. I've tried to organise the code so that it can
easily be audited against the ARM ARM, and/or extended in future if/when new
bits are added to the SPSRs.
While writing the AArch32 portion I also realised that on an AArch64 host we
don't correctly synthesize the SPSR_{abt,und} seen by the guest, as we copy the
value of SPSR_EL2, and the layouts of those SPSRs differ. The third patch
addresses this by explicitly moving bits into the SPSR_{abt,und} layout.
I'd appreciate any testing people could offer, especially for AArch32 guests
and/or AArch32 hosts, which I'm currently ill equipped to test. Ideally we'd
have some unit tests for this.
These issues don't seem to upset contemporary guests, but they do mean that KVM
isn't providing an architecturally compliant environment in all cases, which is
liable to cause issues in future. Given that, and that the patches are fairly
self-contained, I've marked all three patches for stable.
All three patches can be found on my kvm/exception-state branch [1].
Thanks,
Mark.
