arm64: Use the default offset when the kernel image magic is not found
Commit fd0a05bd27dd ("arm64: Obtain text offset from kernel image") added support for getting the kernel offset from the kernel header. The code checks for the kernel header magic number, and if not found, prints a warning and continues searching for the kernel offset in the image. The -k/--kernel option can be used to load things which are not a Linux kernel, but behave like one, like a kvm-unit-tests test. The tests don't have a valid kernel header, and because kvmtool insists on searching for the offset, creating a virtual machine can fail with this message: $ ./vm run -c2 -m256 -k ../kvm-unit-tests/arm/cache.flat # lkvm run -k ../kvm-unit-tests/arm/cache.flat -m 256 -c 2 --name guest-7529 Warning: Kernel image magic not matching Warning: unable to translate host address 0x910100a502a00085 to guest Fatal: kernel image too big to contain in guest memory. The host address is a random number read from the test binary from the location where text_offset is found in the kernel header. Before the commit, the test was executing just fine: $ ./vm run -c2 -m256 -k ../kvm-unit-tests/arm/cache.flat # lkvm run -k ../kvm-unit-tests/arm/cache.flat -m 256 -c 2 --name guest-8105 INFO: IDC-DIC: dcache clean to PoU required INFO: IDC-DIC: icache invalidation to PoU required PASS: IDC-DIC: code generation SUMMARY: 1 tests Change kvm__arch_get_kern_offset() so it returns the default text_offset value if the kernel image magic number is not found, making it possible again to use something other than a Linux kernel with --kernel.
