Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] KVM: arm64: Avoid repetitive stack access on host EL1 to EL2 exception
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2020 17:59:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201109175923.445945-6-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201109175923.445945-1-maz@kernel.org>
Registers x0/x1 get repeateadly pushed and poped during a host
HVC call. Instead, leave the registers on the stack, trading
a store instruction on the fast path for an add on the slow path.
