Subject: [PATCH 0/4] KVM: arm64: Stop mapping current thread_info at EL2
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2021 16:11:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211021151124.3098113-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
It recently became apparent that we are mapping each vcpu thread's
thread_info structure at EL2 for the sole purpose of checking on the
TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE flag.
Given that this looks like a slightly over-engineered way of sharing a
single bit of information, let's move to a slightly more obvious
implementation by maintaining a vcpu-private shadow flag that
represents the same state.
I also take this opportunity to add what looks like a missing, and
nonetheless crucial piece of information to the FPSIMD code regarding
the way KVM (ab)uses the TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE.
Lightly tested on an A53 box with a bunch of paranoia instances
running in both host and guests.
