Hi, changes since v5 [1]: - Removed Kconfig option, the KVM traps shouldn't rely on host kernel support - Renamed cpus_support_* to system_supports_* since that matches other functions - Replace static branch arm64_mpam_has_hcr with a normal cpufeature capability - Add MPAM*_EL2 regs to KVM (undef_access) - Use constants in the test, instead of hardcoded values - Added R-b and T-b tags - Rebased on v6.12-rc5 James wrote: This series fixes up a long standing bug where MPAM was accidentally exposed to a guest, but the feature was not otherwise trapped or context switched. This could result in KVM warning about unexpected traps, and injecting an undef into the guest contradicting the ID registers. This would prevent an MPAM aware kernel from booting - fortunately, there aren't any of those. Ideally, we'd take the MPAM feature away from the ID registers, but that would leave existing guests unable to migrate to a newer kernel. Instead, just ignore that field when it matches the hardware. KVM wasn't going to expose MPAM anyway. The guest will not see MPAM in the id registers. This series includes the head.S and KVM changes to enable/disable traps. If MPAM is neither enabled nor emulated by EL3 firmware, these system register accesses will trap to EL3. If your kernel doesn't boot, and the problem bisects here - please update your firmware. MPAM has been supported by trusted firmware since v1.6 in 2018. (also noted on patch 3).
