[PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Consider the DS bit when translating TCR_EL2

From: Wei-Lin Chang

Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 10:49:01 EST


When running an nVHE L1, TCR_EL2 is mapped to TCR_EL1. Writes to the
register are trapped and written to TCR_EL1 after a translation.
Booting an nVHE L1 with 52-bit VA isn't working because the translation
was ignoring the DS bit set by the guest, hence causing repeating level
0 faults. Add it in the translation function.
