[PATCH v9 3/5] KVM: arm64: Add userspace flag to enable pointer authentication

From: Amit Daniel Kachhap
Date: Thu Apr 11 2019 - 23:21:09 EST


Now that the building blocks of pointer authentication are present, lets
add userspace flags KVM_ARM_VCPU_PTRAUTH_ADDRESS and
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PTRAUTH_GENERIC. These flags will enable pointer
authentication for the KVM guest on a per-vcpu basis through the ioctl
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.

This features will allow the KVM guest to allow the handling of
pointer authentication instructions or to treat them as undefined
if not set.

Necessary documentations are added to reflect the changes done.

Changes since v8:
* Update vcpu->arch.flags to final enable state. [Dave Martin]
* Change in Documentation to make clear the implementation of 2 vcpu
feature flags. [Dave Martin]

-Pointer authentication is not currently supported in KVM guests. KVM
-will mask the feature bits from ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1, and attempted use of
-the feature will result in an UNDEFINED exception being injected into
-the guest.
+Pointer authentication is enabled in KVM guest when each virtual cpu is
+initialised by passing flags KVM_ARM_VCPU_PTRAUTH_[ADDRESS/GENERIC] and
+requesting these two separate cpu features to be enabled. The current KVM
+guest implementation works by enabling both features together, so both
+these userspace flags are checked before enabling pointer authentication.
+The separate userspace flag will allow to have no userspace ABI changes
+if support is added in the future to allow these two features to be
+enabled independently of one another.
+
+As Arm Architecture specifies that Pointer Authentication feature is
+implemented along with the VHE feature so KVM arm64 ptrauth code relies
+on VHE mode to be present.
+
+Additionally, when these vcpu feature flags are not set then KVM will
+filter out the Pointer Authentication system key registers from
+KVM_GET/SET_REG_* ioctls and mask those features from cpufeature ID
+register. Any attempt to use the Pointer Authentication instructions will
+result in an UNDEFINED exception being injected into the guest.
