From c962853bf5e14bf95dcb316e93d7f18aa2739b5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 08:10:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Engage NV3 ERET trap elision When running on NV3 HW, always engage ERET trap elision when running the L1 context, as there is no benefit in not doing so. An L1 can itself engage trap elision by setting its own view of HCRX_EL2.NVTGE==1, which will subsequently be honored.
