[PATCH v17 08/14] KVM: arm64: Enforce EXLOCK for SPSR and ELR
From: Mark Brown
Date: Fri Jul 31 2026 - 08:43:38 EST
As per I_CFFNS and the pseudocode for the SPSR_ELx and ELR_ELx registers
a GCS exception with ExType 1 is generated for attempts to write to
those registers when both GCSCR_ELx.EXLOCKEN and PSTATE.EXLOCK are set.
Ensure that this is enforced for guests if access to these registers
from the guest is handled by the hypervisor.
