In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Apply the fine-grained UNDEFs without FEAT_FGT
FGUs don't actually require hardware support, so don't gate fgt trap
config insertion on FGT. This is the only action required to allow FGUs
always, as kvm_calculate_traps() already computes the FGU bits with or
without FEAT_FGT.
This also fixes a spurious WARN when a TLBI OS is run on a guest in vEL1
without FEAT_TLBIOS on non FEAT_FGT hardware. In this configuration the
course-grained HCR_EL2.TTLBOS trap reaches the handler handle_tlbi_el1(),
which expects an EL1 TLBI only from vEL2. With FGUs enabled the UNDEF
will be injected without needing the specific handler.
