[PATCH v2] arm64: KVM: VHE: Context switch MDSCR_EL1

From: Radim Krčmář <hidden>
Date: 2016-07-21 13:17:20
Also in: kvm, kvmarm

2016-07-19 13:56+0100, Marc Zyngier:
The kprobe enablement work has uncovered that changes made by
a guest to MDSCR_EL1 were propagated to the host when VHE was
enabled, leading to unexpected exception being delivered.

Moving this register to the list of registers that are always
context-switched fixes the issue.

Fixes: 9c6c35683286 ("arm64: KVM: VHE: Split save/restore of registers shared between guest and host")

I would take this patch to 4.7 directly through the main tree.
Are your plans different?

Thanks.
