How is code passed for KVM_RUN?

Hi.

We are a small group trying to port KVM to ARM and taking inspiration
in the work done for PowerPC.

We are just beginning to understand KVM, so bear with us for noob
questions. We are willing to put a lot of work into this though.

When going through the code in booke_interrupts.S, I can see that the
execution of code is performed by the rfi instruction, which jumps to
the location stored in the vcpu struct, but I cannot see how the
actual code to run is ever loaded in that place.

I have tried going through the userspace code as well, but I am unsure
if loading the code for execution happens through mmap, a page fault
signal or ...?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!


Thank you!

Best regards,
Christoffer Dall
