[PATCH 2/7] KVM: arm64: Reject the stage-2 flush hypercalls under pKVM

From: Fuad Tabba

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 10:18:18 EST


The stage-2 TLB and context flush hypercalls remain callable once pKVM
has finalised, and five of the six dereference a host-supplied
struct kvm_s2_mmu pointer. Under pKVM none has a valid caller: the host
walks no guest stage-2, its TLB flushes go through the handle-based
__pkvm_tlb_flush_vmid, and kvm_arch_vcpu_load() skips both the VMID
update and the CPU context flush.

Move them into the band the dispatcher rejects once pKVM has finalised.
