Subject[RFC v2 PATCH 7/7] arm64: KVM: Enable selective trapping of TLB instructions
Date
The TTLB bit of Hypervisor Control Register (HCR_EL2) controls the
trapping of guest TLB maintenance instructions. Taking the trap requires
a switch to the hypervisor and is an expensive operation.

Enable selective trapping of guest TLB instructions when the associated
perf trace event is enabled for a specific virtual machine.
