[PATCH v2 0/5] KVM/arm64: Enable PtrAuth on non-VHE KVM

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

 



Not having PtrAuth on non-VHE KVM (for whatever reason VHE is not
enabled on a v8.3 system) has always looked like an oddity. This
trivial series remedies it, and allows a non-VHE KVM to offer PtrAuth
to its guests.

In the tradition of not having separate security between host-EL1 and
EL2, EL2 reuses the keys set up by host-EL1. It is likely that, should
we switch to a mode where EL2 is more distrusting of EL1, we'd have
private keys there.

The last two patches are respectively an optimization when
save/restoring the PtrAuth context, and a cleanup of the alternatives
used by that same save/restore code.

* From v1 [1]:
  - Move the hand-crafted literal load to using a mov_q macro (Andrew, Mark)
  - Added a cleanup of the alternatives on the save/restore path (Mark)

  KVM: arm64: Enable Address Authentication at EL2 if available
  KVM: arm64: Allow ARM64_PTR_AUTH when ARM64_VHE=n
  KVM: arm64: Allow PtrAuth to be enabled from userspace on non-VHE
    systems
  KVM: arm64: Check HCR_EL2 instead of shadow copy to swap PtrAuth
    registers
  KVM: arm64: Simplify PtrAuth alternative patching
