From: Anshuman Khandual Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 18:01:13 +0000 (-0500) Subject: KVM: arm64: nvhe: Disable branch generation in nVHE guests X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d7567e9b9ba53861390830ee18b9fb2035ca81c4;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git KVM: arm64: nvhe: Disable branch generation in nVHE guests While BRBE can record branches within guests, the host recording branches in guests is not supported by perf (though events are). Support for BRBE in guests will supported by providing direct access to BRBE within the guests. That is how x86 LBR works for guests. Therefore, BRBE needs to be disabled on guest entry and restored on exit. For nVHE, this requires explicit handling for guests. Before entering a guest, save the BRBE state and disable the it. When returning to the host, restore the state. For VHE, it is not necessary. We initialize BRBCR_EL1.{E1BRE,E0BRE}=={0,0} at boot time, and HCR_EL2.TGE==1 while running in the host. We configure BRBCR_EL2.{E2BRE,E0HBRE} to enable branch recording in the host. When entering the guest, we set HCR_EL2.TGE==0 which means BRBCR_EL1 is used instead of BRBCR_EL2. Consequently for VHE, BRBE recording is disabled at EL1 and EL0 when running a guest. Should recording in guests (by the host) ever be desired, the perf ABI will need to be extended to distinguish guest addresses (struct perf_branch_entry.priv) for starters. BRBE records would also need to be invalidated on guest entry/exit as guest/host EL1 and EL0 records can't be distinguished.
