From e48d53a91f6e90873e21a5ca5e8c0d7a9f8936a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2018 12:27:28 +0100 Subject: arm64: KVM: Add support for Stage-2 control of memory types and cacheability Up to ARMv8.3, the combinaison of Stage-1 and Stage-2 attributes results in the strongest attribute of the two stages. This means that the hypervisor has to perform quite a lot of cache maintenance just in case the guest has some non-cacheable mappings around. ARMv8.4 solves this problem by offering a different mode (FWB) where Stage-2 has total control over the memory attribute (this is limited to systems where both I/O and instruction fetches are coherent with the dcache). This is achieved by having a different set of memory attributes in the page tables, and a new bit set in HCR_EL2. On such a system, we can then safely sidestep any form of dcache management.
