I think it makes sense to also update the Kconfig symbol description for
CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH, since it currently only mentions userspace
support, but now the option also enables KVM guest support.

It's also worth mentioning that CONFIG_ARM64_VHE=y is required for guest
support.

Is it worth making this dependency explicit in Kconfig?
Currently there is discrepancy that userspace supports ptrauth in both nVHE/VHE mode and KVM guest only in VHE mode. I suppose adding explicit dependency flag here makes both of them similar.

Thanks,
Amit D

For SVE, I have

config ARM64_SVE
        depends on !KVM || ARM64_VHE

to implement this.

Cheers
