[RFC PATCH 1/3] arm64: kvm: Handle Asymmetric AArch32 systems

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

 



On a system without uniform support for AArch32 at EL0, it is possible
for the guest to force run AArch32 at EL0 and potentially cause an
illegal exception if running on the wrong core.

Add an extra check to catch if the guest ever does that and prevent it
from running again, treating it as ARM_EXCEPTION_IL.

We try to catch this misbehavior as early as possible and not rely on
PSTATE.IL to occur.

Tested on Juno by instrumenting the host to:

	* Fake asym aarch32.
	* Comment out hiding of ID registers from the guest.

Any attempt to run 32bit app in the guest will produce such error on
qemu:

	# ./test
	error: kvm run failed Invalid argument
	R00=ffff0fff R01=ffffffff R02=00000000 R03=00087968
	R04=000874b8 R05=ffd70b24 R06=ffd70b2c R07=00000055
	R08=00000000 R09=00000000 R10=00000000 R11=00000000
	R12=0000001c R13=ffd6f974 R14=0001ff64 R15=ffff0fe0
	PSR=a0000010 N-C- A usr32
