Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Move pKVM ownership state to hyp_vmemmap
Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2025 00:33:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250227003310.367350-1-qperret@google.com> (raw)

Hi all,

This series moves the hypervisor's ownership state to the hyp_vmemmap,
as discussed in [1]. The two main benefits are:

 1. much cheaper hyp state lookups, since we can avoid the hyp stage-1
    page-table walk;

 2. de-correlates the hyp state from the presence of a mapping in the
    linear map range of the hypervisor; which enables a bunch of
    clean-ups in the existing code and will simplify the introduction of
    other features in the future (hyp tracing, ...)

Patch 01 is a self-sufficient cleanup that I found thanks to patch 05.
Patches 02-04 implement the aforementioned migration of the hyp state
to the vmemmap. Patches 05 and 06 are cleanups enabled by that
migration.

Patches based on 6.14-rc4, tested on Qemu.

Thanks!
Quentin
