So if we want to properly disable MTE for guests when !VHE (not just the ID reg), I came up with the diff below. However, given that Steven is already working on KVM support, I wonder whether we could just make MTE depend on !VHE temporarily, remove it once we get the full MTE KVM support. It's up to you (either way, I still need to solve the undef injection since that affects both VHE and !VHE; patch to follow). diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/tlb.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/tlb.c index 69eae608d670..51204ac30154 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/tlb.c +++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/tlb.c @@ -32,10 +32,23 @@ static void __tlb_switch_to_guest(struct kvm_s2_mmu *mmu, } __load_guest_stage2(mmu); + + /* MTE is not supported in guests yet, disable access to tags */ + if (system_supports_mte()) { + u64 val = read_sysreg(hcr_el2); + val &= ~HCR_ATA; + write_sysreg(val, hcr_el2); + } } static void __tlb_switch_to_host(struct tlb_inv_context *cxt) { + /* Re-enable MTE for the host kernel */ + if (system_supports_mte()) { + u64 val = read_sysreg(hcr_el2); + write_sysreg(val | HCR_ATA, hcr_el2); + } + write_sysreg(0, vttbr_el2); if (cpus_have_final_cap(ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_AT)) { -- Catalin
