Subject: [RFC PATCH v7 07/28] KVM: arm64: Add KVM_ARM_VCPU_SPE VCPU feature
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 17:06:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903160623.315525-8-alexandru.elisei@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903160623.315525-1-alexandru.elisei@arm.com>
Add a new VCPU feature that enables SPE virtualization when set by
userspace. KVM_VCPU_MAX_FEATURE will be bumped and the feature will
become selectable by userspace once SPE support in KVM is implemented.
