[PATCH 0/3] KVM: arm64: Normalize cache configuration

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

 



Before this change, the cache configuration of the physical CPU was
exposed to vcpus. This is problematic because the cache configuration a
vcpu sees varies when it migrates between vcpus with different cache
configurations.

Fabricate cache configuration from arm64_ftr_reg_ctrel0.sys_val, which
holds the CTR_EL0 value the userspace sees regardless of which physical
CPU it resides on.

HCR_TID2 is now always set as it is troublesome to detect the difference
of cache configurations among physical CPUs.

CSSELR_EL1 is now held in the memory instead of the corresponding
phyisccal register as the fabricated cache configuration may have a
cache level which does not exist in the physical CPU, and setting the
physical CSSELR_EL1 for the level results in an UNKNOWN behavior.

CLIDR_EL1 and CCSIDR_EL1 are now writable from the userspace so that
the VMM can restore the values saved with the old kernel.
