[PATCH 08/14] KVM: arm64: Add support for tagging shared pages in page-table

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The hypervisor will soon be in charge of tracking ownership of all
memory pages in the system. The current page-tracking infrastructure at
EL2 only allows binary states: a page is either owned or not by an
entity. But a number of use-cases will require more complex states for
pages that are shared between two entities (host, hypervisor, or guests).

In preparation for supporting these use-cases, introduce in the KVM
page-table library some infrastructure allowing to tag shared pages
using ignored bits (a.k.a. software bits) in PTEs.
