[PATCH v1] KVM: arm64: Fix protected VMs fault on system with pages larger than 4K

From: Vincent Donnefort <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-13 17:35:36
Also in: kvmarm
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

Just like commit 08f97454b7fa ("KVM: arm64: Fix protected mode handling
of pages larger than 4kB") fixed the boot of non-protected VMs on system
larger than 4K pages, align the fault IPA down to the page-size for
protected VMs.

To paraphrase Marc, pkvm_pgtable_stage2_map() assumes the address passed
as a parameter is aligned to the size of the intended mapping, while
HPFAR_EL2 gives the IPA minus the bottom 12 bits, regardless of the
system page size configuration.

Add a check at the start of pkvm_pgtable_stage2_map() as we do not
support !PAGE_ALIGNED arguments.

Fixes: ea03466e806f ("KVM: arm64: Handle aborts from protected VMs")
