[PATCH 0/3] target/arm: Fix handling of VSTCR_EL2.SW and VTCR_EL2.NSW


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [PATCH 0/3] target/arm: Fix handling of VSTCR_EL2.SW and VTCR_EL2.NSW
Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2023 17:04:10 +0100

When FEAT_SEL2 (secure EL2) is implemented, the bits
VSTCR_EL2.SW and VTCR_EL2.NSW allow the guest to set things up
so that the stage 2 walk for an IPA is done to the other
address space, eg
 * a stage 2 walk for an NS IPA done to secure physical memory
   (where the translation table base address and other parameters
   for the walk come from the NS control registers VTTBR_EL2
   and VTCR_EL2)
 * a stage 2 walk for an S IPA done to non-secure physical memory
   (where the parameters from the walk come from the S control
   registers VSTTBR_EL2 and VSTCR_EL2)

We tried to implement this, but didn't get it right -- in
get_phys_addr_twostage() we identify whether we need to do
the s2 walk in Secure or NonSecure, but then we fail to pay
attention to whether we were doing the walk for an NS or S IPA.
The fix for this is simple -- set ptw->in_mmu_idx and ptw->in_secure
based on ipa_secure, with only ptw->in_ptw_idx depending on
s2walk_secure. However to make this work we first need to fix
a couple of places in the ptw code that were incorrectly looking
at ptw->in_secure when they either should not be or should
be doing something based on ptw->in_ptw_idx.

This fixes https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1600 .
NB: I have tested that this fixes the test case in the bug, and
that it doesn't break 'make check-avocado', but I don't have a
huge supply of EL2-using guests to hand so the patchset hasn't
received exhaustive testing. Plus this area of the architecture
and this bit of QEMU's codebase are pretty hairy -- so careful
review would be a good idea :-)

thanks
