KVM: arm64: Prevent host from managing timer offsets for protected VMs

2026-01-15T15:55:50Z

For protected VMs, the guest's timer offset state should not be controlled by the host and must always run with a virtual counter offset of 0. The existing timer logic allowed the host to set and manage the timer counter offsets for protected VMs in certain cases. Disable all host-side management of timer offsets for protected VMs by adding checks in the relevant code paths.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: "These are the arm64 updates for 6.19. The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/. There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd (similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and several cleanups/typos. Summary: Core features: - Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring) driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API Perf and PMU: - Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs - Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support for NVIDIA implementations - Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect - Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs - Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver - Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver Memory managemennt: - Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault - Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid - Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros - Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping() - Propagate return value from __change_memory_common() ACPI and EFI: - Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption - Remove unused ACPI function Miscellaneous: - ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems - Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor - Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ - Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test - Remove some no longer used macros/functions - Various spelling corrections" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (94 commits) arm64/mm: Document why linear map split failure upon vm_reset_perms is not problematic arm64/pageattr: Propagate return value from __change_memory_common arm64/sysreg: Remove unused define ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS KVM: arm64: selftests: Consider all 7 possible levels of cache KVM: arm64: selftests: Remove ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS and its last user arm64: atomics: lse: Remove unused parameters from ATOMIC_FETCH_OP_AND macros Documentation/arm64: Fix the typo of register names ACPI: GTDT: Get rid of acpi_arch_timer_mem_init() perf: arm_spe: Add support for filtering on data source perf: Add perf_event_attr::config4 perf/imx_ddr: Add support for PMU in DB (system interconnects) perf/imx_ddr: Get and enable optional clks perf/imx_ddr: Move ida_alloc() from ddr_perf_init() to ddr_perf_probe() dt-bindings: perf: fsl-imx-ddr: Add compatible string for i.MX8QM, i.MX8QXP and i.MX8DXL arm64: remove duplicate ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT arm64: mm: use untagged address to calculate page index MAINTAINERS: new entry for MPAM Driver arm_mpam: Add kunit tests for props_mismatch() arm_mpam: Add kunit test for bitmap reset arm_mpam: Add helper to reset saved mbwu state ...

KVM: arm64: Kill leftovers of ad-hoc timer userspace access

2025-10-13T13:42:41Z

Now that the whole timer infrastructure is handled as system register accesses, get rid of the now unused ad-hoc infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier

KVM: arm64: Make timer_set_offset() generally accessible

2025-10-13T13:42:40Z

Move the timer_set_offset() helper to arm_arch_timer.h, so that it is next to timer_get_offset(), and accessible by the rest of KVM. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier

KVM: arm64: Replace timer context vcpu pointer with timer_id

2025-10-13T13:42:40Z

Having to follow a pointer to a vcpu is pretty dumb, when the timers are are a fixed offset in the vcpu structure itself. Trade the vcpu pointer for a timer_id, which can then be used to compute the vcpu address as needed. Reviewed-by: Joey Gouly Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier

KVM: arm64: Introduce timer_context_to_vcpu() helper

2025-10-13T13:42:40Z

We currently have a vcpu pointer nested into each timer context. As we are about to remove this pointer, introduce a helper (aptly named timer_context_to_vcpu()) that returns this pointer, at least until we repaint the data structure. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier

KVM: arm64: Add helper to identify a nested context

2025-07-08T17:40:30Z

A common idiom in the KVM code is to check if we are currently dealing with a "nested" context, defined as having NV enabled, but being in the EL1&0 translation regime. This is usually expressed as: if (vcpu_has_nv(vcpu) && !is_hyp_ctxt(vcpu) ... ) which is a mouthful and a bit hard to read, specially when followed by additional conditions. Introduce a new helper that encapsulate these two terms, allowing the above to be written as if (is_nested_context(vcpu) ... ) which is both shorter and easier to read, and makes more obvious the potential for simplification on some code paths.

Merge tag 'kvmarm-fixes-6.16-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD

2025-06-11T18:25:22Z

KVM/arm64 fixes for 6.16, take #2 - Rework of system register accessors for system registers that are directly writen to memory, so that sanitisation of the in-memory value happens at the correct time (after the read, or before the write). For convenience, RMW-style accessors are also provided. - Multiple fixes for the so-called "arch-timer-edge-cases' selftest, which was always broken.

KVM: arm64: Don't use __vcpu_sys_reg() to get the address of a sysreg

2025-06-05T13:18:01Z

We are about to prevent the use of __vcpu_sys_reg() as a lvalue, and getting the address of a rvalue is not a thing. Update the couple of places where we do this to use the __ctxt_sys_reg() accessor, which return the address of a register.
