Looks like this line:

Indeed. I should check all the new files, as they are a bit... off.

I take it KVM will not allow a L1 hypervisor to run EL1 or EL0 in 32
bit mode?
No, that'd really be a distraction at this stage. I don't expect any
HW supporting NV NV to support AArch32 at EL1, and if someone really
needs EL0 support (the HW support actually exists), they'll have to
revisit this.

I think these checks should also be added:

"A return where the value of the saved process state M[4] bit is 0,
indicating a return to AArch64 state, and one of the following is
true:

- The M[1] bit is 1.
- The M[3:0] bits are 0b0001.
Definitely should add these two, probably in the form of a switch
enumerating all the possible exception levels rather than checking for
discrete bits that are hard to reason about.
quoted
- The Exception level being returned to is using AArch32 state, as
  programmed by the SCR_EL3.RW or HCR_EL2.RW bits, or as configured
  from reset."
That's already caught with the SPSR check above.
Hmm... I don't think so. The illegal condition, according to the snippet, should
be:

!(mode & PSR_MODE32_BIT) && !(__vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, HCR_EL2) & HCR_RW)

Or, perhaps better, KVM could add an HCR_EL2 accessor that treated the
HCR_EL2.RW bit as RA0/WI as per the architecture when the EL1 is not capable of
AArch32.  That would make the above situation impossible.

Thanks,
Alex
