Merge branch kvm-arm64/host_data into kvmarm-master/next
* kvm-arm64/host_data:
: .
: Rationalise the host-specific data to live as part of the per-CPU state.
:
: From the cover letter:
:
: "It appears that over the years, we have accumulated a lot of cruft in
: the kvm_vcpu_arch structure. Part of the gunk is data that is strictly
: host CPU specific, and this result in two main problems:
:
: - the structure itself is stupidly large, over 8kB. With the
: arch-agnostic kvm_vcpu, we're above 10kB, which is insane. This has
: some ripple effects, as we need physically contiguous allocation to
: be able to map it at EL2 for !VHE. There is more to it though, as
: some data structures, although per-vcpu, could be allocated
: separately.
:
: - We lose track of the life-cycle of this data, because we're
: guaranteed that it will be around forever and we start relying on
: wrong assumptions. This is becoming a maintenance burden.
:
: This series rectifies some of these things, starting with the two main
: offenders: debug and FP, a lot of which gets pushed out to the per-CPU
: host structure. Indeed, their lifetime really isn't that of the vcpu,
: but tied to the physical CPU the vpcu runs on.
:
: This results in a small reduction of the vcpu size, but mainly a much
: clearer understanding of the life-cycle of these structures."
