These patches fix some issues with the way KVM manages FPSIMD/SVE/SME state. The series supersedes my earlier attempt at fixing the host SVE state corruption issue: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250121100026.3974971-1-mark.rutland@xxxxxxx/ Patch 1 addresses the host SVE state corruption issue by always saving and unbinding the host state when loading a vCPU, as discussed on the earlier patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/Z4--YuG5SWrP_pW7@J2N7QTR9R3/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/86plkful48.wl-maz@xxxxxxxxxx/ Patches 2 to 4 remove code made redundant by patch 1. These probably warrant backporting along with patch 1 as there is some historical brokenness in the code they remove. Patches 5 to 7 are preparatory refactoring for patch 8, and are not intended to have any functional impact. Patch 8 addresses some mismanagement of ZCR_EL{1,2} which can result in the host VMM unexpectedly receiving a SIGKILL. To fix this, we eagerly switch ZCR_EL{1,2} at guest<->host transitions, as discussed on another series: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/Z4pAMaEYvdLpmbg2@J2N7QTR9R3/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/86o6zzukwr.wl-maz@xxxxxxxxxx/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/Z5Dc-WMu2azhTuMn@J2N7QTR9R3/ The end result is that KVM loses ~100 lines of code, and becomes a bit simpler to reason about. I've pushed these patches to the arm64-kvm-fpsimd-fixes-20250206 tag on my kernel.org repo: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git The (unstable) arm64/kvm/fpsimd-fixes branch in that repo contains the fixes plus additional debug patches I've used for testing. I've given this some basic testing on a virtual platform, booting a host and a guest with and without constraining the guest's max SVE VL, with: * kvm_arm.mode=vhe * kvm_arm.mode=nvhe * kvm_arm.mode=protected (IIUC this will default to hVHE) Since v1 [1]: * Address some additional compiler warnings in patch 7 * Use ZCR_EL1 alias in VHE code * Fold in Tested-by and Reviewed-by tags * Fix typos [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250204152100.705610-1-mark.rutland@xxxxxxx/ Mark.
