[PATCH v1 10/26] KVM: arm64: Fix set_oslsr_el1 to write to OSLAR_EL1
From: Steffen Eiden
Date: Fri May 29 2026 - 12:34:08 EST
From: Andreas Grapentin <gra@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The set_oslsr_el1() function was incorrectly writing directly to the
OSLSR_EL1 register, which is architecturally a read-only status register
that reflects the state of the OS Lock.
Fix this by extracting the OSLK bit from the user-provided value and
writing it to OSLAR_EL1 (OS Lock Access Register) instead, which is the
proper control register for managing the OS Lock state. OSLSR_EL1 will
then reflect this state when read.
This ensures the implementation follows the ARM architecture
specification where OSLAR_EL1 controls the lock and OSLSR_EL1 provides
status information.
