[PATCH v6 07/33] KVM: arm64: Access elements of vcpu_gp_regs individually

Steffen Eiden seiden at linux.ibm.com
Wed Aug 12 08:36:03 PDT 2026


While for arm64 the members of vcpu_gp_regs are allocated continuous
this is not necessarily true for other architectures implementing ARM.

Let vcpu_gp_regs() no longer return the address of the user_pt_regs in
the vcpu context but the address of the gp-register array field in the
user_pt_reg struct. Note, this change semantically excludes pc from the
GPRs.

No functional change.
