Non-VHE systems take an exception to EL2 in order to world-switch into the guest. When returning from the guest KVM implicitly restores the DAIF flags when it returns to the kernel at EL1. With VHE none of this exception-level jumping happens, so KVMs world-switch code is exposed to the host kernel's DAIF values, and KVM spills the guest-exit DAIF values back into the host kernel. On entry to a guest we have Debug and SError exceptions unmasked, KVM has switched VBAR but isn't prepared to handle these. On guest exit Debug exceptions are left disabled once we return to the host and will stay this way until we enter user space. Add a helper to mask/unmask DAIF around VHE guests. The unmask can only happen after the hosts VBAR value has been synchronised by the isb in __vhe_hyp_call (via kvm_call_hyp()). Masking could be as late as setting KVMs VBAR value, but is kept here for symmetry.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
