Subject: arm64: KVM: Fix SMCCC handling of unimplemented SMC/HVC calls
From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx>
commit acfb3b883f6d6a4b5d27ad7fdded11f6a09ae6dd upstream.
KVM doesn't follow the SMCCC when it comes to unimplemented calls,
and inject an UNDEF instead of returning an error. Since firmware
calls are now used for security mitigation, they are becoming more
common, and the undef is counter productive.
Instead, let's follow the SMCCC which states that -1 must be returned
to the caller when getting an unknown function number.
