So far, we map all VPEs on all ITSs. While this is not wrong, this is quite a big hammer, as moving a VPE around requires all ITSs to be synchronized. Needles to say, this is an expensive proposition. Instead, let's switch to a mode where we issue VMAPP commands only on ITSs that are actually involved in reporting interrupts to the given VM. For that purpose, we refcount the number of interrupts are are mapped for this VM on each ITS, performing the map/unmap operations as required. It then allows us to use this refcount to only issue VMOVP to the ITSs that need to know about this VM. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
