In fact, it might be nice to define all of those together. Yeah, it means moving things higher up in the file, but I think it will be easier to read. > #include <asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h> > #include <asm/cache.h> > #include <asm/hyp_image.h> > diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c > index 3ac0f3425833..51b53ca36dc5 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c > +++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c > @@ -1770,7 +1770,18 @@ static int init_hyp_mode(void) > goto out_err; > } > > + /* > + * .hyp.bss is placed at the beginning of the .bss section, so map that > + * part RW, and the rest RO as the hyp shouldn't be touching it. > + */ > err = create_hyp_mappings(kvm_ksym_ref(__bss_start), I think it would be clearer to refer to __hyp_bss_start here ^^. You could always add an ASSERT in the linker script if you want to catch anybody adding something before the hyp bss in future.
