This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: arm64: Avoid setting the upper 32 bits of TCR_EL2 and CPTR_EL2 to 1 to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-arm64-avoid-setting-the-upper-32-bits-of-tcr_el2-and-cptr_el2-to-1.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1f80d15020d7f130194821feb1432b67648c632d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2021 15:20:14 +0000 Subject: KVM: arm64: Avoid setting the upper 32 bits of TCR_EL2 and CPTR_EL2 to 1 From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> commit 1f80d15020d7f130194821feb1432b67648c632d upstream. Having a signed (1 << 31) constant for TCR_EL2_RES1 and CPTR_EL2_TCPAC causes the upper 32-bit to be set to 1 when assigning them to a 64-bit variable. Bit 32 in TCR_EL2 is no longer RES0 in ARMv8.7: with FEAT_LPA2 it changes the meaning of bits 49:48 and 9:8 in the stage 1 EL2 page table entries. As a result of the sign-extension, a non-VHE kernel can no longer boot on a model with ARMv8.7 enabled. CPTR_EL2 still has the top 32 bits RES0 but we should preempt any future problems Make these top bit constants unsigned as per commit df655b75c43f ("arm64: KVM: Avoid setting the upper 32 bits of VTCR_EL2 to 1").
