Hi,

Thanks for the review. I will include the changes in the next version I send for pvlock. I have sent a patch to fix pvtime here https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221103131210.3603385-1-usama.arif@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/.

You need to fix up these tables above:

The IPA returned by PV_LOCK_PREEMPTED should be mapped by the guest as normal

The similar fixup should also be made to the tables in
Documentation/virt/kvm/arm/pvtime.rst, though.

+The IPA returned by PV_LOCK_PREEMPTED should be mapped by the guest as normal

+PV lock state
+-------------
+
+The structure pointed to by the PV_LOCK_PREEMPTED hypercall is as follows:
+
++-----------+-------------+-------------+---------------------------------+
+| Field     | Byte Length | Byte Offset | Description                     |
++===========+=============+=============+=================================+
+| preempted |      8      |      0      | Indicate if the VCPU that owns  |
+|           |             |             | this struct is running or not.  |
+|           |             |             | Non-zero values mean the VCPU   |
+|           |             |             | has been preempted. Zero means  |
+|           |             |             | the VCPU is not preempted.      |
++-----------+-------------+-------------+---------------------------------+
+
+The preempted field will be updated to 1 by the hypervisor prior to scheduling
+a VCPU. When the VCPU is scheduled out, the preempted field will be updated
+to 0 by the hypervisor.
+
+The structure will be present within a reserved region of the normal memory
+given to the guest. The guest should not attempt to write into this memory.
+There is a structure per VCPU of the guest.
+
+For the user space interface see Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vcpu.rst
