Hi Suzuki,

We set VTCR_EL2 very early during the stage2 init and don't
touch it ever. This is fine as we had a fixed IPA size. This
patch changes the behavior to set the VTCR for a given VM,
depending on its stage2 table. The common configuration for
VTCR is still performed during the early init as we have to
retain the hardware access flag update bits (VTCR_EL2_HA)
per CPU (as they are only set for the CPUs which are capabile).

(Nit: capable)


Thanks for spotting, will fix it.


The bits defining the number of levels in the page table (SL0)
and and the size of the Input address to the translation (T0SZ)
are programmed for each VM upon entry to the guest.

Do we need to set this register for tlb maintenance too?
e.g. tlbi for a 3-level-stage2 vm when a 2-level-stage2 vm's vtcr is loaded...

(The ARM-ARM has 'Any of the bits of VTCR_EL2 are permitted to be cached in a TLB'.)

You're right. We need to set the VTCR for the tlb operations. I think
we can do this by hooking it to the __tlb_switch_to_guest() routine.
Will address it in the next version.

Cheers
Suzuki
