KVM: arm64: Disable SPE Profiling Buffer when running in guest context
The nVHE world-switch code relies on zeroing PMSCR_EL1 to disable
profiling data generation in guest context when SPE is in use by the
host.
Unfortunately, this may leave PMBLIMITR_EL1.E set and consequently we
can end up running in guest/hypervisor context with the Profiling Buffer
enabled. The current "known issues" document for Rev M.a of the Arm ARM
states that this can lead to speculative, out-of-context translations:
| 2.18 D23136:
|
| When the Profiling Buffer is enabled, profiling is not stopped, and
| Discard mode is not enabled, the Statistical Profiling Unit might
| cause speculative translations for the owning translation regime,
| including when the owning translation regime is out-of-context.
In a similar fashion to TRBE, ensure that the Profiling Buffer is
disabled during the nVHE world switch before we start messing with the
stage-2 MMU and trap configuration.
