Linux kernel source tree

As a result of a KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl, KVM flushes the dcache for the memslot being changed to ensure a consistent view of memory between the host and the guest: the host runs with caches enabled, and it is possible for the data written by the hypervisor to still be in the caches, but the guest is running with stage 1 disabled, meaning data accesses are to Device-nGnRnE memory, bypassing the caches entirely. Flushing the dcache is not necessary when KVM enables FWB, because it forces the guest to uses cacheable memory accesses. The current behaviour does not change, as the dcache flush helpers execute the cache operation only if FWB is not enabled, but walking the stage 2 table is avoided.

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 Restructured Text 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.
