KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Drop the reporting of GICR_TYPER.Last for userspace
It was recently reported that if GICR_TYPER is accessed before the RD base address is set, we'll suffer from the unset @rdreg dereferencing. Oops... gpa_t last_rdist_typer = rdreg->base + GICR_TYPER + (rdreg->free_index - 1) * KVM_VGIC_V3_REDIST_SIZE; It's "expected" that users will access registers in the redistributor if the RD has been properly configured (e.g., the RD base address is set). But it hasn't yet been covered by the existing documentation. Per discussion on the list [1], the reporting of the GICR_TYPER.Last bit for userspace never actually worked. And it's difficult for us to emulate it correctly given that userspace has the flexibility to access it any time. Let's just drop the reporting of the Last bit for userspace for now (userspace should have full knowledge about it anyway) and it at least prevents kernel from panic ;-) [1] https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/c20865a267e44d1e2c0d52ce4e012263@kernel.org/ Fixes: ba7b3f12 ("KVM: arm/arm64: Revisit Redistributor TYPER last bit computation") Reported-by: Keqian Zhu <zhukeqian1@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Zenghui Yu <yuzenghui@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Eric Auger <eric.auger@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201117151629.1738-1-yuzenghui@huawei.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
