Zenghui Yu 892713e97c KVM: arm64: Sidestep stage2_unmap_vm() on vcpu reset when S2FWB is supported
stage2_unmap_vm() was introduced to unmap user RAM region in the stage2
page table to make the caches coherent. E.g., a guest reboot with stage1
MMU disabled will access memory using non-cacheable attributes. If the
RAM and caches are not coherent at this stage, some evicted dirty cache
line may go and corrupt guest data in RAM.

Since ARMv8.4, S2FWB feature is mandatory and KVM will take advantage
of it to configure the stage2 page table and the attributes of memory
access. So we ensure that guests always access memory using cacheable
attributes and thus, the caches always be coherent.

So on CPUs that support S2FWB, we can safely reset the vcpu without a
heavy stage2 unmapping.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
