Whelp, that was quick.
Marek reports [1] that the parallel faults series leads to a kernel BUG
when initializing the hyp stage-1 page tables. Work around the issue by
never acquiring the RCU read lock when walking hyp stage-1. This is safe
because hyp stage-1 is protected by a spinlock (pKVM) or mutex (regular
nVHE).
The included patch applies to the parallel faults series. To avoid
breaking bisection, the patch should immediately precede commit
c3119ae45dfb ("KVM: arm64: Protect stage-2 traversal with RCU"). Or, if
preferred, I can respin the whole series in the correct order.
Tested with the pKVM isolated vCPU state series [2] merged on top, w/
kvm-arm.mode={nvhe,protected} on an Ampere Altra system.
