* kvm-arm64/host_data: : . : Rationalise the host-specific data to live as part of the per-CPU state. : : From the cover letter: : : "It appears that over the years, we have accumulated a lot of cruft in : the kvm_vcpu_arch structure. Part of the gunk is data that is strictly : host CPU specific, and this result in two main problems: : : - the structure itself is stupidly large, over 8kB. With the : arch-agnostic kvm_vcpu, we're above 10kB, which is insane. This has : some ripple effects, as we need physically contiguous allocation to : be able to map it at EL2 for !VHE. There is more to it though, as : some data structures, although per-vcpu, could be allocated : separately. : : - We lose track of the life-cycle of this data, because we're : guaranteed that it will be around forever and we start relying on : wrong assumptions. This is becoming a maintenance burden. : : This series rectifies some of these things, starting with the two main : offenders: debug and FP, a lot of which gets pushed out to the per-CPU : host structure. Indeed, their lifetime really isn't that of the vcpu, : but tied to the physical CPU the vpcu runs on. : : This results in a small reduction of the vcpu size, but mainly a much : clearer understanding of the life-cycle of these structures." : . KVM: arm64: Move management of __hyp_running_vcpu to load/put on VHE KVM: arm64: Exclude FP ownership from kvm_vcpu_arch KVM: arm64: Exclude host_fpsimd_state pointer from kvm_vcpu_arch KVM: arm64: Exclude mdcr_el2_host from kvm_vcpu_arch KVM: arm64: Exclude host_debug_data from vcpu_arch KVM: arm64: Add accessor for per-CPU state Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
