In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Do not clear VM-wide SVE feature on vCPU init failure pkvm_vcpu_init_sve() clears KVM_ARM_VCPU_SVE in kvm->arch.vcpu_features when it fails, but vcpu_has_sve() tests KVM_ARCH_FLAG_GUEST_HAS_SVE, which is left set. Later vCPUs on that VM then skip the SVE setup and register with a NULL sve_state, which the guest's first FP access hands to sve_load_state(). Return the error without touching vcpu_features.
