Since commitd26c25a9d1("arm64: KVM: Tighten guest core register access from userspace"), KVM_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG rejects register IDs that do not correspond to a single underlying architectural register. KVM_GET_REG_LIST was not changed to match however: instead, it simply yields a list of 32-bit register IDs that together cover the whole kvm_regs struct. This means that if userspace tries to use the resulting list of IDs directly to drive calls to KVM_*_ONE_REG, some of those calls will now fail. This was not the intention. Instead, iterating KVM_*_ONE_REG over the list of IDs returned by KVM_GET_REG_LIST should be guaranteed to work. This patch fixes the problem by splitting validate_core_offset() into a backend core_reg_size_from_offset() which does all of the work except for checking that the size field in the register ID matches, and kvm_arm_copy_reg_indices() and num_core_regs() are converted to use this to enumerate the valid offsets. kvm_arm_copy_reg_indices() now also sets the register ID size field appropriately based on the value returned, so the register ID supplied to userspace is fully qualified for use with the register access ioctls.

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.
