KVM: arm64: Synchronize sysreg state on injecting an AArch32 exception
On a VHE system, the EL1 state is left in the CPU most of the time, and only syncronized back to memory when vcpu_put() is called (most of the time on preemption). Which means that when injecting an exception, we'd better have a way to either: (1) write directly to the EL1 sysregs (2) synchronize the state back to memory, and do the changes there For an AArch64, we already do (1), so we are safe. Unfortunately, doing the same thing for AArch32 would be pretty invasive. Instead, we can easily implement (2) by calling the put/load architectural backends, and keep preemption disabled. We can then reload the state back into EL1. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
