[PATCH v6 12/17] KVM: arm64: Add PROTECTED_NVHE_STACKTRACE Kconfig

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

 



This can be used to disable stacktrace for the protected KVM
nVHE hypervisor, in order to save on the associated memory usage.

This option is disabled by default, since protected KVM is not widely
used on platforms other than Android currently.
