    Subject[PATCH v7 00/11] KVM: xen: update shared_info and vcpu_info handling
    Date
    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
