[PATCH stable v5.8 v2 0/2] KVM: arm64: Fix AT instruction handling

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

 



Changes from v1:
- (Re-)adding Marc's review tags from upstream. Differences to the
  original patches are trivial for 2/2, and straight-forward for 1/2.
- Fix spelling of vaxorcism
-------------

In some architectural corner cases, AT instructions can generate an
exception, which KVM is not really ready to handle properly.
Teach the code to handle this situation gracefully.

This is a backport of the respective upstream patches to v5.8(.5).
James prepared and tested these already, but we were lacking the upstream
commit ID so far.
I am sending this on his behalf, since he is off this week.

The last two of the originally three patches were tagged Cc: stable
already, but 2/3 did not apply cleanly, hence this specific backport.
3/3 has already been added to stable-queue, so I am dropping it from
this post.

Cheers,
Andre.
