commit 628e1becb6fb121475a6ce68e3f1cb4499851255 Author: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Mon Nov 9 20:28:59 2020 +0000 Commit: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Tue Nov 10 16:49:27 2020 +0000 xen/arm: Always trap AMU system registers The Activity Monitors Unit (AMU) has been introduced by ARMv8.4. It is considered to be unsafe to be expose to guests as they might expose information about code executed by other guests or the host. Arm provided a way to trap all the AMU system registers by setting CPTR_EL2.TAM to 1. Unfortunately, on older revision of the specification, the bit 30 (now CPTR_EL1.TAM) was RES0. Because of that, Xen is setting it to 0 and therefore the system registers would be exposed to the guest when it is run on processors with AMU. As the bit is mark as UNKNOWN at boot in Armv8.4, the only safe solution for us is to always set CPTR_EL1.TAM to 1. Guest trying to access the AMU system registers will now receive an undefined instruction. Unfortunately, this means that even well-behaved guest may fail to boot because we don't sanitize the ID registers. This is a known issues with other Armv8.0+ features (e.g. SVE, Pointer Auth). This will taken care separately. This is part of XSA-351 (or XSA-93 re-born).
