    KVM: arm/arm64: Introduce kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_change · bd2a6394
    Christoffer Dall 提交于
    KVM/ARM differs from other architectures in having to maintain an
    additional virtual address space from that of the host and the
    guest, because we split the execution of KVM across both EL1 and
    EL2.
    
    This results in a need to explicitly map data structures into EL2
    (hyp) which are accessed from the hyp code.  As we are about to be
    more clever with our FPSIMD handling on arm64, which stores data in
    the task struct and uses thread_info flags, we will have to map
    parts of the currently executing task struct into the EL2 virtual
    address space.
    
    However, we don't want to do this on every KVM_RUN, because it is a
    fairly expensive operation to walk the page tables, and the common
    execution mode is to map a single thread to a VCPU.  By introducing
    a hook that architectures can select with
    HAVE_KVM_VCPU_RUN_PID_CHANGE, we do not introduce overhead for
    other architectures, but have a simple way to only map the data we
    need when required for arm64.
    
    This patch introduces the framework only, and wires it up in the
    arm/arm64 KVM common code.
    
    No functional change.
