Since commit 2a28810cbb8b ("KVM: arm64: GICv3: Detect and work around the lack of ICV_DIR_EL1 trapping"), when the host CPU doesn't support this feature, KVM traps all GIC sysreg accesses in the common group. However, currently trap handlers for ICC_{PMR,RPR,CTLR}_EL1 registers are missing [0]. So when Realm guests try to access those registers, KVM traps them but just emits the warning shown in [1], and Realm guests fail to boot. As far as I can tell, the CCA requirements don't require the ARM64_HAS_ICH_HCR_EL2_TDIR feature. If that's the case, this seems to be a problem. Is there any workaround for this issue, or should we implement trap handlers for those registers? Thanks, Kohei [0] static const struct sys_reg_desc sys_reg_descs[] = { ... { SYS_DESC(SYS_ICC_PMR_EL1), undef_access }, { SYS_DESC(SYS_ICC_RPR_EL1), undef_access }, { SYS_DESC(SYS_ICC_CTLR_EL1), undef_access }, }; [1] ------------[ cut here ]------------ Unexpected undefined exception injection to REC WARNING: arch/arm64/kvm/inject_fault.c:330 at kvm_inject_undefined+0x100/0x148, CPU#1: kvm-vcpu-0/370 Modules linked in: CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 370 Comm: kvm-vcpu-0 Not tainted 7.2.0-rc1-00096-gd6d40e6a3103 #161 PREEMPT(lazy) [...] Call trace: kvm_inject_undefined+0x100/0x148 (P) undef_access+0x18/0x30 perform_access+0x54/0x1d0 kvm_handle_sys_reg+0xfc/0x308 rec_exit_sys_reg+0x34/0x168 handle_rec_exit+0x12c/0x4c8 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x7a0/0x9a8 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x180/0xb50 __arm64_sys_ioctl+0xb4/0x118 invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0xb8/0x120 do_el0_svc+0x48/0xc8 el0_svc+0x44/0x248 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe8 el0t_64_sync+0x198/0x1a0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [...] > --- > Changes from v12: > * GIC registers are now passed in the system registers rather than via > rec_entry/rec_exit which removes most of the changes. > Changes from v11: > * Minor changes to align with the previous patches.
