In non-protected KVM modes, while the guest FPSIMD/SVE/SME state is live on the
CPU, the host's active SVE VL may differ from the guest's maximum SVE VL:
* For VHE hosts, when a VM uses NV, ZCR_EL2 contains a value constrained
by the guest hypervisor, which may be less than or equal to that
guest's maximum VL.
Note: in this case the value of ZCR_EL1 is immaterial due to E2H.
* For nVHE/hVHE hosts, ZCR_EL1 contains a value written by the guest,
which may be less than or greater than the guest's maximum VL.
Note: in this case hyp code traps host SVE usage and lazily restores
ZCR_EL2 to the host's maximum VL, which may be greater than the
guest's maximum VL.
This can be the case between exiting a guest and kvm_arch_vcpu_put_fp().
If a softirq is taken during this period and the softirq handler tries
to use kernel-mode NEON, then the kernel will fail to save the guest's
FPSIMD/SVE state, and will pend a SIGKILL for the current thread.
This happens because kvm_arch_vcpu_ctxsync_fp() binds the guest's live
FPSIMD/SVE state with the guest's maximum SVE VL, and
fpsimd_save_user_state() verifies that the live SVE VL is as expected
before attempting to save the register state:
| if (WARN_ON(sve_get_vl() != vl)) {
| force_signal_inject(SIGKILL, SI_KERNEL, 0, 0);
| return;
| }
Fix this and make this a bit easier to reason about by always eagerly
switching ZCR_EL{1,2} at hyp during guest<->host transitions. With this
happening, there's no need to trap host SVE usage, and the nVHE/nVHE
__deactivate_cptr_traps() logic can be simplified to enable host access
to all present FPSIMD/SVE/SME features.
In protected nVHE/hVHE modes, the host's state is always saved/restored
by hyp, and the guest's state is saved prior to exit to the host, so
from the host's PoV the guest never has live FPSIMD/SVE/SME state, and
the host's ZCR_EL1 is never clobbered by hyp.

(cherry picked from commit 59419f1)
Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <gshan@redhat.com>
Conflicts:
Downstream commit 939b186 ported upstream commit 59419f1
incompletely. Fix it up as below.
arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_emulate.h
Conflict due to missed upstream commit ee14db3 ("KVM: arm64:
Refactor CPTR trap deactivation") where kvm_reset_cptr_el2() is
renamed to __deactivate_cptr_traps(). Apply the changes for
__deactivate_cptr_traps() to kvm_get_reset_cptr_el2(), called by
kvm_reset_cptr_el2() only. This should have been done by
downstream commit 939b186, but we didn't.
arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/switch.c
Conflict due to missed upstream commit ee14db3 ("KVM: arm64:
Refactor CPTR trap deactivation") where FPSMID32 traps can be
activated and CPACR_EL1/EL2 are updated accordingly. The logic
has been dropped by upstream commit 59419f1 and readded by
the missed upstream commit ee14db3. Keep the logic here.
