Subject: [PATCH v2 03/22] x86/tlb: Expose some flush function declarations to modules
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 18:23:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320-page_alloc-unmapped-v2-3-28bf1bd54f41@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320-page_alloc-unmapped-v2-0-28bf1bd54f41@google.com>
In commit bfe3d8f6313d ("x86/tlb: Restrict access to tlbstate") some
low-level logic (the important detail here is flush_tlb_info) was hidden
from modules, along with functions associated with that data.
Later, the set of functions defined here changed and there are now a
bunch of flush_tlb_*() functions that do not depend on x86 internals
like flush_tlb_info.
This leads to some build fragility: KVM (which can be a module) cares
about TLB flushing and includes {linux->asm}/mmu_context.h which
includes asm/tlb.h and asm/tlbflush.h. This x86 TLB code expects these
helpers to be defined (e.g. tlb_flush() calls flush_tlb_mm_range()).
Modules probably shouldn't call these helpers - luckily this is already
enforced by the lack of EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Therefore keep things simple
and just expose the declarations anyway to prevent build failures.
