The current way we deal with PtrAuth is a bit heavy handed: - We forcefully save the host's keys on each vcpu_load() - Handling the PtrAuth trap forces us to go all the way back to the exit handling code to just set the HCR bits Overall, this is pretty cumbersome. A better approach would be to handle it the same way we deal with the FPSIMD registers: - On vcpu_load() disable PtrAuth for the guest - On first use, save the host's keys, enable PtrAuth in the guest Crucially, this can happen as a fixup, which is done very early on exit. We can then reenter the guest immediately without leaving the hypervisor role. Another thing is that it simplify the rest of the host handling: exiting all the way to the host means that the only possible outcome for this trap is to inject an UNDEF.

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.
