张东旭 <xu910121@xxxxxxxx> reported a regression seen with CentOS
when migrating from an old kernel to a new one. The problem was
that QEMU rejected the migration since KVM_GET_REG_LIST reported
a register was missing on the destination. Extra registers are OK
on the destination, but not missing ones. The regression reproduces
with upstream kernels when migrating from a 4.15 or later kernel,
up to one with commit 73433762fcae ("KVM: arm64/sve: System register
context switch and access support"), to a kernel that includes that
commit, e.g. the latest mainline (5.10-rc2).
The first patch of this series is the fix. The next two patches,
which don't have any intended functional changes, allow ID_SANITISED
to be used for registers that flip between exposing features and
being RAZ, which allows some code to be removed.
v3:
- Improve commit messages [Dave]
- Add new patch to consolidate REG_HIDDEN* flags [Dave]
v2:
- CC stable [Marc]
- Only one RAZ flag is enough [Marc]
- Move id_visibility() up by read_id_reg() since they'll likely
be maintained together [drew]
Andrew Jones (4):
KVM: arm64: Don't hide ID registers from userspace
KVM: arm64: Consolidate REG_HIDDEN_GUEST/USER
KVM: arm64: Check RAZ visibility in ID register accessors
KVM: arm64: Remove AA64ZFR0_EL1 accessors
