Linux kernel source tree
c353fde17d
With the introduction of stage-2 huge mappings in the pKVM hypervisor, guest pages CMO is needed for PMD_SIZE size. Fixmap only supports PAGE_SIZE and iterating over the huge-page is time consuming (mostly due to TLBI on hyp_fixmap_unmap) which is a problem for EL2 latency. Introduce a shared PMD_SIZE fixmap (hyp_fixblock_map/hyp_fixblock_unmap) to improve guest page CMOs when stage-2 huge mappings are installed. On a Pixel6, the iterative solution resulted in a latency of ~700us, while the PMD_SIZE fixmap reduces it to ~100us. Because of the horrendous private range allocation that would be necessary, this is disabled for 64KiB pages systems.

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.
