CVE-2025-40184

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: arm64: Fix debug checking for np-guests using huge mappings

When running with transparent huge pages and CONFIGNVHEEL2DEBUG then the debug checking in asserthostsharedguest() fails on the launch of an np-guest. This WARN_ON() causes a panic and generates the stack below.

In _pkvmhostrelaxperms_guest() the debug checking assumes the mapping is a single page but it may be a block map. Update the checking so that the size is not checked and just assumes the correct size.

While we're here make the same fix in _pkvmhostmkyoungguest().

Info: # lkvm run -k /share/arch/arm64/boot/Image -m 704 -c 8 --name guest-128 Info: Removed ghost socket file "/.lkvm//guest-128.sock".
