Subject: [PATCH v2 28/35] KVM: arm64: Implement the MEM_SHARE hypercall for protected VMs
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 12:46:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260119124629.2563-29-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260119124629.2563-1-will@kernel.org>
Implement the ARM_SMCCC_KVM_FUNC_MEM_SHARE hypercall to allow protected
VMs to share memory (e.g. the swiotlb bounce buffers) back to the host.
