Shouldn't be, I don't think aarch64 does any register write-back here.
This is an aarch64 userspace process, right?
You can try adding some more debugging info to the print to get us the
IPA it is failing on:
diff --git a/arch/arm/kvm/mmio.c b/arch/arm/kvm/mmio.c
index 5d3bfc0..e468937 100644
--- a/arch/arm/kvm/mmio.c
+++ b/arch/arm/kvm/mmio.c
@@ -182,7 +182,8 @@ int io_mem_abort(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, struct kvm_run *run,
if (ret)
return ret;
} else {
- kvm_err("load/store instruction decoding not implemented\n");
+ kvm_err("load/store instruction decoding not implemented (HSR:
0x%x, IPA: 0x%llx)\n",
+ kvm_vcpu_get_hsr(vcpu), fault_ipa);
return -ENOSYS;
}
I wonder why you're faulting on an address that your guest kernel is
doing __copy_to_user() on in the first place though, hmmm.
