Hi,

This patch series adds support for restricting CPU features for protected VMs
in KVM [1].

Various feature configurations are allowed in KVM/arm64. Supporting all
these features in pKVM is difficult, as it either involves moving much of
the handling code to EL2, which adds bloat and results in a less verifiable
trusted code base. Or it involves leaving the code handling at EL1, which
risks having an untrusted host kernel feeding wrong information to the EL2
and to the protected guests.

This series attempts to mitigate this by reducing the configuration space,
providing a reduced amount of feature support at EL2 with the least amount of
compromise of protected guests' capabilities.

This is done by restricting CPU features exposed to protected guests through
feature registers. These restrictions are enforced by trapping register
accesses as well as instructions associated with these features, and injecting
an undefined exception into the guest if it attempts to use a restricted
feature.

The features being restricted (only for protected VMs in protected mode) are
the following:
- Debug, Trace, and DoubleLock
- Performance Monitoring (PMU)
- Statistical Profiling (SPE)
- Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
- Memory Partitioning and Monitoring (MPAM)
- Activity Monitoring (AMU)
- Memory Tagging (MTE)
- Limited Ordering Regions (LOR)
- AArch32 State
- Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC) (depending on rVIC support)
- Nested Virtualization (NV)
- Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) above V1
- Implementation-defined Features

This series is based on kvmarm/next and Will's patches for an Initial pKVM user
ABI [1]. You can find the applied series here [2].

Cheers,
