Re: [PATCH kvmtool] aarch64: Give up with MTE for AArch32 guest

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Vladimir,

When I run an --aarch32 guest with --debug this is the message that I'm
getting:

  Info: (arm/aarch64/kvm.c) kvm__arch_enable_mte:146: MTE capability not available

Would you mind elaborating on the merits of the message that you are
proposing:

  Info: (arm/aarch64/kvm.c) kvm__arch_enable_mte:124: MTE is incompatible with AArch32

Is it because it explains why the capability is not available?

Thanks,
Alex
