Subject: [PATCH v2 02/28] KVM: arm64: nv: Consolidate computation of stage-2 permissions
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 13:55:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023205610.1044532-3-oupton@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023205610.1044532-1-oupton@kernel.org>
Computing the output permissions from a translation requires
contextualization, as fields in the descriptors may change depending on
the MMU context. Centralize the computation of stage-2 permissions
within the table walk rather as opposed to inspecting the descriptor in
the case of pX and uX permissions.
