Subject: [PATCH 5/5] KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Kill kvm_vgic_global_state.ich_vtr_el2
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 14:22:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720132220.2143486-7-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720132220.2143486-1-maz@kernel.org>
kvm_vgic_global_state.ich_vtr_el2 is the last bit of caching that
we can get rid of. Not as bad as a sysreg access, but still worse
than a constant.
Move over to the inlined stuff and remove the cached value.
