Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Fix debug checking for np-guests using huge mappings
When running with transparent huge pages and CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG then
the debug checking in assert_host_shared_guest() fails on the launch of an
np-guest. This WARN_ON() causes a panic and generates the stack below.
In __pkvm_host_relax_perms_guest() the debug checking assumes the mapping
is a single page but it may be a block map. Update the checking so that
the size is not checked and just assumes the correct size.
While we're here make the same fix in __pkvm_host_mkyoung_guest().
Info: # lkvm run -k /share/arch/arm64/boot/Image -m 704 -c 8 --name guest-128
Info: Removed ghost socket file "/.lkvm//guest-128.sock".
