AT instructions do a translation table walk and return the result, or the fault in PAR_EL1. KVM uses these to find the IPA when the value is not provided by the CPU in HPFAR_EL1. If a translation table walk causes an external abort it is taken as an exception, even if it was due to an AT instruction. (DDI0487F.a's D5.2.11 "Synchronous faults generated by address translation instructions") While we previously made KVM resilient to exceptions taken due to AT instructions, the device access causes mismatched attributes, and may occur speculatively. Prevent this, by forbidding a walk through memory described as device at stage2. Now such AT instructions will report a stage2 fault. Such a fault will cause KVM to restart the guest. If the AT instructions always walk the page tables, but guest execution uses the translation cached in the TLB, the guest can't make forward progress until the TLB entry is evicted.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
