[RFC PATCH v4 23/39] KVM: arm64: VHE: Clear MDCR_EL2.E2PB in vcpu_put()

[Alexandru Elisei]

From: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@xxxxxxx>

On VHE systems, the kernel executes at EL2 and configures the profiling
buffer to use the EL2&0 translation regime and to trap accesses from the
guest by clearing MDCR_EL2.E2PB. In vcpu_put(), KVM does a bitwise or with
the E2PB mask, preserving its value. This has been correct so far, since
MDCR_EL2.E2B has the same value (0b00) for all VMs, as set by
kvm_arm_setup_mdcr_el2().

However, this will change when KVM enables support for SPE in guests. For
such guests KVM will configure the profiling buffer to use the EL1&0
translation regime, a setting that is obviously undesirable to be preserved
for the host running at EL2. Let's avoid this situation by explicitly
clearing E2PB in vcpu_put().
