  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  KVM: arm64: Derive GUEST_HAS_SVE from the SVE feature bit at EL2  pkvm_init_features_from_host() takes KVM_ARCH_FLAG_GUEST_HAS_SVE and KVM_ARM_VCPU_SVE from the host separately, but pkvm_vcpu_init_sve() tests the bit while vcpu_has_sve() reads the flag. A host that sets the flag without the bit gets a vCPU with a NULL sve_state that the world switch loads the guest\u0027s SVE state from.  Derive the flag from the bit, and drop the protected path\u0027s copy of the host\u0027s flag, which is dead code since protected VMs are not allowed SVE.",
