[PATCH v5 2/8] KVM: arm64: Make vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg available to HYP code

From: Fuad Tabba <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-14 10:16:43
Also in: kvmarm, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), kernel virtual machine for arm64 (kvm/arm64), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Marc Zyngier, Oliver Upton, Linus Torvalds

The vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg() accessors are only valid on a VHE host,
so helpers built on them such as kvm_vcpu_set_be()/kvm_vcpu_is_be()
cannot be shared with hyp code. exception.c already wraps them in local
helpers that pick the host- or hyp-side accessor via has_vhe().

Rename the host-only implementations to __vcpu_{read,write}_sysreg_vhe()
and turn vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg() into the context-dispatching
wrappers, so every caller gets the version valid in any context and a
follow-up series can share that emulation code at EL2.

No functional change intended.

Signed-off-by: Fuad Tabba <redacted>

v5:
  - Named the wrappers vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg() and renamed the
    host-only implementations to __vcpu_{read,write}_sysreg_vhe(), rather
    than introducing a kvm_vcpu_ prefix. (Oliver)
  - Dropped Vincent's Reviewed-by since the patch changed materially.
