Some bti instructions were missing from
commit b53d4a272349 ("KVM: arm64: Use BTI for nvhe")
1) kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry
kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry is called from __kvm_hyp_init_cpu through "br"
instruction as __kvm_hyp_init_cpu resides in idmap section while
kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry is in hyp .text so the offset is larger than
128MB range covered by "b".
Which means that this function should start with "bti j" instruction.
LLVM which is the only compiler supporting BTI for Linux, adds "bti j"
for jump tables or by when taking the address of the block [1].
Same behaviour is observed with GCC.
As kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry is a C function, this must be done in
assembly.
Another solution is to use X16/X17 with "br", as according to ARM
ARM DDI0487I.a RLJHCL/IGMGRS, PACIASP has an implicit branch
target identification instruction that is compatible with
PSTATE.BTYPE 0b01 which includes "br X16/X17"
And the kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry has PACIASP as it is an external
function.
Although, using explicit "bti" makes it more clear than relying on
which register is used.
A third solution is to clear SCTLR_EL2.BT, which would make PACIASP
compatible PSTATE.BTYPE 0b11 ("br" to other registers).
However this deviates from the kernel behaviour (in bti_enable()).
2) Spectre vector table
"br" instructions are generated at runtime for the vector table
(__bp_harden_hyp_vecs).
These branches would land on vectors in __kvm_hyp_vector at offset 8.
As all the macros are defined with valid_vect/invalid_vect, it is
sufficient to add "bti j" at the correct offset.

Nothing change w.r.t cpu suspend-resume path in v2 anyways, but I assure
I tested this again just be absolutely sure and it still fixes the issue

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

Applied to kvmarm/fixes. Sorry this took longer than expected, Mostafa. I
was hitting an unrelated issue with pKVM initialization on the only system
I have that supports BTI.

Thanks Oliver, hopefully everything is sorted out now.
