Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] KVM: arm/arm64: Remove unnecessary CMOs when creating HYP page tables
Date: Wed, 30 May 2018 13:47:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180530124706.25284-7-marc.zyngier@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180530124706.25284-1-marc.zyngier@arm.com>

There is no need to perform cache maintenance operations when
creating the HYP page tables if we have the multiprocessing
extensions. ARMv7 mandates them with the virtualization support,
and ARMv8 just mandates them unconditionally.

Let's remove these operations.
