Instead of the host accessing hyp data directly, pass the pmu events of the current cpu to hyp via the vcpu. This adds 64 bits (in two fields) to the vcpu that need to be synced before every vcpu run in nvhe and protected modes. However, it isolates the hypervisor from the host, which allows us to use pmu in protected mode in a subsequent patch. No visible side effects in behavior intended.

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.
