[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: arm64: Fix a vSError staying pending after delivery under pKVM

[Fuad Tabba]

Hi folks,

Changes since v1 [1]:
  - Added a cover letter. (Marc)
  - Rebased on 7.3-rc4.

Under pKVM a vSError the guest has already taken stays pending in the
host's copy of HCR_EL2, since the lazy state sync for non-protected
guests stopped copying VSE back on exit. That's a 7.3-rc regression.
Patch 1 reflects VSE back on every exit. Patch 2 makes the
external_aborts selftest check that the SError is no longer pending
once delivered: it fails on the unpatched base and passes with the fix,
and also passes under nVHE and VHE.

The "Confine protected VM vCPU state to EL2" series [2] carries patch 1
as its own patch 1, since its later patches change the same exit path in
hyp-main.c and don't apply on a tree without the fix. It isn't part of
that series: the fix lands from here, and so does the selftest, which
that series doesn't carry.

Based on Linux 7.3-rc4 (93f51579e7df2).

Cheers,
