Subject: [PATCH 7/7] arm64: KVM: Enable selective trapping of TLB instructions
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 11:16:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1473761769-30572-8-git-send-email-punit.agrawal@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1473761769-30572-1-git-send-email-punit.agrawal@arm.com>

The TTLB bit of Hypervisor Control Register (HCR_EL2) controls the
trapping of guest TLB maintenance instructions. Taking the trap requires
a switch to the hypervisor and is an expensive operation.

Enable selective trapping of guest TLB instructions when the associated
perf trace event is enabled for a specific virtual machine.
