Subject: [RFC PATCH 07/27] KVM: arm64: Introduce a BSS section for use at Hyp
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 18:15:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201117181607.1761516-8-qperret@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201117181607.1761516-1-qperret@google.com>

Currently, the hyp code cannot make full use of a bss, as the kernel
section is mapped read-only.

While this mapping could simply be changed to read-write, it would
intermingle even more the hyp and kernel state than they currently are.
Instead, introduce a __hyp_bss section, that uses reserved pages, and
create the appropriate RW hyp mappings during KVM init.
