[PATCH v2] KVM: arm64: Constrain the host to the maximum shared SVE VL with pKVM

From: Mark Brown
Date: Thu Sep 12 2024 - 07:40:00 EST


When pKVM saves and restores the host floating point state on a SVE system
it programs the vector length in ZCR_EL2.LEN to be whatever the maximum VL
for the PE is but uses a buffer allocated with kvm_host_sve_max_vl, the
maximum VL shared by all PEs in the system. This means that if we run on a
system where the maximum VLs are not consistent we will overflow the buffer
on PEs which support larger VLs.

Since the host will not currently attempt to make use of non-shared VLs fix
this by explicitly setting the EL2 VL to be the maximum shared VL when we
save and restore. This will enforce the limit on host VL usage. Should we
wish to support asymmetric VLs this code will need to be updated along with
the required changes for the host, patches have previously been posted:

Changes in v2:
- Update all places where we constrain the host VL, not just those where
we save and restore host state.
- The value written to the register is 0 based, not 1 based.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240910-kvm-arm64-limit-guest-vl-v1-1-54df40b95ffb@xxxxxxxxxx
