| |
The arm64 kernel doesn't yet support the full generic entry infrastructure. That being said, KVM/arm64 doesn't properly handle TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME and could pick this up by switching to the generic guest entry infrasturture.
Patch 1 adds a missing vCPU stat to ARM64 to record the number of signal exits to userspace.
Patch 2 unhitches entry-kvm from entry-generic, as ARM64 doesn't currently support the generic infrastructure.
Patch 3 replaces the open-coded entry handling with the generic xfer function.
This series was tested on an Ampere Mt. Jade reference system. The series cleanly applies to kvm/queue (note that this is deliberate as the generic kvm stats patches have not yet propagated to kvm-arm/queue) at the following commit:
8ad5e63649ff ("KVM: Don't take mmu_lock for range invalidation unless necessary")
v1 -> v2: - Address Jing's comment - Carry Jing's r-b tag
v2 -> v3: - Roll all exit conditions into kvm_vcpu_exit_request() (Marc) - Avoid needlessly checking for work twice (Marc)
v1: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20210729195632.489978-1-oupton@google.com v2: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20210729220916.1672875-1-oupton@google.com
Oliver Upton (3): KVM: arm64: Record number of signal exits as a vCPU stat entry: KVM: Allow use of generic KVM entry w/o full generic support KVM: arm64: Use generic KVM xfer to guest work function
