[PATCH 01/37] KVM: arm64: Avoid storing the vcpu pointer on the stack

Christoffer Dall christoffer.dall at linaro.org
Thu Oct 12 03:41:05 PDT 2017


We already have the percpu area for the host cpu state, which points to
the VCPU, so there's no need to store the VCPU pointer on the stack on
every context switch.  We can be a little more clever and just use
tpidr_el2 for the percpu offset and load the VCPU pointer from the host
context.

This requires us to have a scratch register though, so we take the
chance to rearrange some of the el1_sync code to only look at the
vttbr_el2 to determine if this is a trap from the guest or an HVC from
the host.  We do add an extra check to call the panic code if the kernel
is configured with debugging enabled and we saw a trap from the host
which wasn't an HVC, indicating that we left some EL2 trap configured by
mistake.
