From 3f9eacf4f0705876a5d6526d7d320ca91d7d7a16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier maz@kernel.org Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 12:27:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Make all 32bit ID registers fully writable

32bit ID registers aren't getting much love these days, and are often missed in updates. One of these updates broke restoring a GICv2 guest on a GICv3 machine.

Instead of performing a piecemeal fix, just bite the bullet and make all 32bit ID regs fully writable. KVM itself never relies on them for anything, and if the VMM wants to mess up the guest, so be it.

Fixes: 5cb57a1aff755 ("KVM: arm64: Zero ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC when no GICv3 is presented to the guest") Reported-by: Peter Maydell peter.maydell@linaro.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Oliver Upton oupton@kernel.org Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251030122707.2033690-2-maz@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier maz@kernel.org
