Linux kernel source tree
f91bc8f61a
Currently the MSHV driver rejects mappings that would overlap in userspace. Some VMMs require the same memory to be mapped to different parts of the guest's address space, and so working around this restriction is difficult. The hypervisor itself doesn't prohibit mappings that overlap in uaddr, (really in SPA; system physical addresses), so supporting this in the driver doesn't require any extra work: only the checks need to be removed. Since no userspace code until now has been able to overlap regions in userspace, relaxing this constraint can't break any existing code.

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.
