    KVM: arm/arm64: mask/unmask daif around VHE guests · 4f5abad9
    James Morse authored
    Non-VHE systems take an exception to EL2 in order to world-switch into the
    guest. When returning from the guest KVM implicitly restores the DAIF
    flags when it returns to the kernel at EL1.
    
    With VHE none of this exception-level jumping happens, so KVMs
    world-switch code is exposed to the host kernel's DAIF values, and KVM
    spills the guest-exit DAIF values back into the host kernel.
    On entry to a guest we have Debug and SError exceptions unmasked, KVM
    has switched VBAR but isn't prepared to handle these. On guest exit
    Debug exceptions are left disabled once we return to the host and will
    stay this way until we enter user space.
    
    Add a helper to mask/unmask DAIF around VHE guests. The unmask can only
    happen after the hosts VBAR value has been synchronised by the isb in
    __vhe_hyp_call (via kvm_call_hyp()). Masking could be as late as
    setting KVMs VBAR value, but is kept here for symmetry.
