Subject: [PATCH v2 19/19] arm64: Update the KVM memory map documentation
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 14:49:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171211144937.4537-20-marc.zyngier@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171211144937.4537-1-marc.zyngier@arm.com>

Update the documentation to reflect the new tricks we play on the
EL2 mappings...

+When using KVM without the Virtualization Host Extensions, the
+hypervisor maps kernel pages in EL2 at a fixed offset (modulo a random
+offset) from the linear mapping. See the kern_hyp_va macro and
+kvm_update_va_mask function for more details. MMIO devices such as
+GICv2 gets mapped next to the HYP idmap page.
 
 When using KVM with the Virtualization Host Extensions, no additional
 mappings are created, since the host kernel runs directly in EL2.
