Subject: [PATCH v3 2/6] arm64: Prevent kexec and hibernation if is_protected_kvm_enabled()

From: Will Deacon <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2021 14:58:35 +0100

When pKVM is enabled, the hypervisor code at EL2 and its data structures
are inaccessible to the host kernel and cannot be torn down or replaced
as this would defeat the integrity properies which pKVM aims to provide.
Furthermore, the ABI between the host and EL2 is flexible and private to
whatever the current implementation of KVM requires and so booting a new
kernel with an old EL2 component is very likely to end in disaster.

In preparation for uninstalling the hyp stub calls which are relied upon
to reset EL2, disable kexec and hibernation in the host when protected
KVM is enabled.
