Hmmm, there are two things being disabled here.
Stashing the lr in memory pointed to by VA won't work transparently at EL2 ... but
shouldn't KVM's C code still treat x18 as a fixed register?
As you have an __attribute__((no_sanitize("shadow-call-stack"))), could we add that to
__hyp_text instead? (its a smaller hammer!) All of KVM's EL2 code is marked __hyp_text,
but that isn't everything in these files. Doing it like this would leave KVM's VHE-only
paths covered.
As an example, with VHE the kernel and KVM both run at EL2, and KVM behaves differently:
kvm_vcpu_put_sysregs() in kvm/hyp/sysreg-sr.c is called from a preempt notifier as
the EL2 registers are always accessible.
Thanks,
James
