    KVM: arm64: Preserve PSTATE.SS for the guest while single-step is enabled · 34fbdee0

    Preserve the PSTATE.SS value for the guest while userspace enables
    single-step (i.e. while KVM manipulates the PSTATE.SS) for the vCPU.
    
    Currently, while userspace enables single-step for the vCPU
    (with KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP), KVM sets PSTATE.SS to 1 on every
    guest entry, not saving its original value.
    When userspace disables single-step, KVM doesn't restore the original
    value for the subsequent guest entry (use the current value instead).
    Exception return instructions copy PSTATE.SS from SPSR_ELx.SS
    only in certain cases when single-step is enabled (and set it to 0
    in other cases). So, the value matters only when the guest enables
    single-step (and when the guest's Software step state isn't affected
    by single-step enabled by userspace, practically), though.
    
    Fix this by preserving the original PSTATE.SS value while userspace
    enables single-step, and restoring the value once it is disabled.
    
    This fix modifies the behavior of GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG for the
    PSTATE.SS while single-step is enabled by userspace.
    Presently, GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG gets/sets the current PSTATE.SS
    value, which KVM will override on the next guest entry (i.e. the
    value userspace gets/sets is not used for the next guest entry).
    With this patch, GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG will get/set the guest's
    preserved value, which KVM will preserve and try to restore after
    single-step is disabled.
