Mark Rutland 17c7f46efb KVM: arm64: Eagerly switch ZCR_EL{1,2}
[ Upstream commit 59419f10045bc955d2229819c7cf7a8b0b9c5b59 ]

In non-protected KVM modes, while the guest FPSIMD/SVE/SME state is live on the
CPU, the host's active SVE VL may differ from the guest's maximum SVE VL:

* For VHE hosts, when a VM uses NV, ZCR_EL2 contains a value constrained
  by the guest hypervisor, which may be less than or equal to that
  guest's maximum VL.

  Note: in this case the value of ZCR_EL1 is immaterial due to E2H.

* For nVHE/hVHE hosts, ZCR_EL1 contains a value written by the guest,
  which may be less than or greater than the guest's maximum VL.

  Note: in this case hyp code traps host SVE usage and lazily restores
  ZCR_EL2 to the host's maximum VL, which may be greater than the
  guest's maximum VL.

This can be the case between exiting a guest and kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp().
If a softirq is taken during this period and the softirq handler tries
to use kernel-mode NEON, then the kernel will fail to save the guest's
FPSIMD/SVE state, and will pend a SIGKILL for the current thread.

This happens because kvm_arch_vcpu_ctxsync_fp() binds the guest's live
FPSIMD/SVE state with the guest's maximum SVE VL, and
fpsimd_save_user_state() verifies that the live SVE VL is as expected
before attempting to save the register state:

| if (WARN_ON(sve_get_vl() != vl)) {
|         force_signal_inject(SIGKILL, SI_KERNEL, 0, 0);
|         return;
| }

Fix this and make this a bit easier to reason about by always eagerly
switching ZCR_EL{1,2} at hyp during guest<->host transitions. With this
happening, there's no need to trap host SVE usage, and the nVHE/nVHE
__deactivate_cptr_traps() logic can be simplified to enable host access
to all present FPSIMD/SVE/SME features.

In protected nVHE/hVHE modes, the host's state is always saved/restored
by hyp, and the guest's state is saved prior to exit to the host, so
from the host's PoV the guest never has live FPSIMD/SVE/SME state, and
the host's ZCR_EL1 is never clobbered by hyp.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
