KVM: arm64: Hide S1POE from guests when not supported by the host

Browse source

[ Upstream commit f66857bafd ]

When CONFIG_ARM64_POE is disabled, KVM does not save/restore POR_EL1.
However, ID_AA64MMFR3_EL1 sanitisation currently exposes the feature to
guests whenever the hardware supports it, ignoring the host kernel
configuration.

If a guest detects this feature and attempts to use it, the host will
fail to context-switch POR_EL1, potentially leading to state corruption.

Fix this by masking ID_AA64MMFR3_EL1.S1POE in the sanitised system
registers, preventing KVM from advertising the feature when the host
does not support it (i.e. system_supports_poe() is false).
