[RFC PATCH v2 09/38] KVM: arm64: Add the shadow context for virtual EL2 execution

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

 



With the nested virtualization support, a hypervisor running inside a VM
(i.e. a guest hypervisor) is now deprivilaged and runs in EL1 instead of
EL2. So, the host hypervisor manages the shadow context for the virtual
EL2 execution.
