KVM: arm64: Use BTI for nvhe
CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL compiles the kernel to support ARMv8.5-BTI. However, the nvhe code doesn't make use of it as it doesn't map any pages with Guarded Page(GP) bit. kvm pgtable code is modified to map executable pages with GP bit if BTI is enabled for the kernel. At hyp init, SCTLR_EL2.BT is set to 1 to match EL1 configuration (SCTLR_EL1.BT1) set in bti_enable(). One difference between kernel and nvhe code, is that the kernel maps .text with GP while nvhe maps all the executable pages, this makes nvhe code need to deal with special initialization code coming from other executable sections (.idmap.text). For this we need to add bti instruction at the beginning of __kvm_handle_stub_hvc as it can be called by __host_hvc through branch instruction(br) and unlike SYM_FUNC_START, SYM_CODE_START doesn’t add bti instruction at the beginning, and it can’t be modified to add it as it is used with vector tables. Another solution which is more intrusive is to convert __kvm_handle_stub_hvc to a function and inject “bti jc” instead of “bti c” in SYM_FUNC_START Signed-off-by: Mostafa Saleh <smostafa@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230530150845.2856828-1-smostafa@google.comSigned-off-by: Oliver Upton <oliver.upton@linux.dev>
