From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@amazon.com>
The following text from the original cover letter still serves as an introduction to the series:
"Currently we treat the shared_info page as guest memory and the VMM informs KVM of its location using a GFN. However it is not guest memory as such; it's an overlay page. So we pointlessly invalidate and re-cache a mapping to the *same page* of memory every time the guest requests that shared_info be mapped into its address space. Let's avoid doing that by modifying the pfncache code to allow activation using a fixed userspace HVA as well as a GPA."
This version of the series is functionally the same as version 6. I have simply added David Woodhouse's R-b to patch 11 to indicate that he has now fully reviewed the series.
Paul Durrant (11): KVM: pfncache: add a map helper function KVM: pfncache: add a mark-dirty helper KVM: pfncache: add a helper to get the gpa KVM: pfncache: base offset check on khva rather than gpa KVM: pfncache: allow a cache to be activated with a fixed (userspace) HVA KVM: xen: allow shared_info to be mapped by fixed HVA KVM: xen: allow vcpu_info to be mapped by fixed HVA KVM: selftests / xen: map shared_info using HVA rather than GFN KVM: selftests / xen: re-map vcpu_info using HVA rather than GPA KVM: xen: advertize the KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_SHARED_INFO_HVA capability KVM: xen: allow vcpu_info content to be 'safely' copied
