Subject: [RFC PATCH v7 03/28] KVM: arm64: Add CONFIG_KVM_ARM_SPE Kconfig option
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 17:05:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903160623.315525-4-alexandru.elisei@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903160623.315525-1-alexandru.elisei@arm.com>

Add a new configuration option that will be used for KVM SPE emulation.
CONFIG_KVM_ARM_SPE depends on the SPE driver being loaded because:

1. The SPE driver maintains a cpumask of physical CPUs that support SPE,
   and that will be used by KVM to emulate SPE on heterogeneous systems.

2. KVM will rely on the SPE driver enabling the SPE interrupt at the GIC
   level.

The option will become user selectable after SPE support in KVM is
implemented.
