    arm64: KVM: Use static keys for selecting the GIC backend · 5a7a8426
    Vladimir Murzin 提交于
    Currently GIC backend is selected via alternative framework and this
    is fine. We are going to introduce vgic-v3 to 32-bit world and there
    we don't have patching framework in hand, so we can either check
    support for GICv3 every time we need to choose which backend to use or
    try to optimise it by using static keys. The later looks quite
    promising because we can share logic involved in selecting GIC backend
    between architectures if both uses static keys.
    
    This patch moves arm64 from alternative to static keys framework for
    selecting GIC backend. For that we embed static key into vgic_global
    and enable the key during vgic initialisation based on what has
    already been exposed by the host GIC driver.
