For the CPUs without the v8.2 RAS Extensions, its ESR is always 0, we only can inject a SError with ESR 0 to guest, cannot set its ESR. About how about to use the KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS, I will check the code, and consider your suggestion at the same time. The IOCTL KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS has been used by X86. > > user-space can then use the 'for migration' calls to make a 'new' SError pending. > > Now that the cpufeature bits are queued, I think this can be split up into two separate series for v4.16-rc1, one to tackle NOTIFY_SEI and > the associated plumbing. The second for the KVM 'make SError pending' API. Ok, thanks for your suggestion, will split it. > > > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c index > > 5c7f657..738ae90 100644 > > --- a/arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c > > +++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c > > @@ -277,6 +277,11 @@ int kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, > > return -EINVAL; > > } > > > > +int kvm_arm_set_sei_esr(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u32 *syndrome) { > > + return -EINVAL; > > +} > > Does nothing in the patch that adds the support?
