KVM: arm64: Handle Asymmetric AArch32 systems

Browse source

On a system without uniform support for AArch32 at EL0, it is possible
for the guest to force run AArch32 at EL0 and potentially cause an
illegal exception if running on a core without AArch32. Add an extra
check so that if we catch the guest doing that, then we prevent it from
running again by resetting vcpu->arch.target and return
ARM_EXCEPTION_IL.

We try to catch this misbehaviour as early as possible and not rely on
an illegal exception occuring to signal the problem. Attempting to run a
32bit app in the guest will produce an error from QEMU if the guest
exits while running in AArch32 EL0.

Tested on Juno by instrumenting the host to fake asym aarch32 and
instrumenting KVM to make the asymmetry visible to the guest.
