The KVM hyp code is only run after system capabilities have been finalized, and thus all const cap checks have been patched. This is noted in in __cpu_init_hyp_mode(), where we BUG() if called too early: | /* | * Call initialization code, and switch to the full blown HYP code. | * If the cpucaps haven't been finalized yet, something has gone very | * wrong, and hyp will crash and burn when it uses any | * cpus_have_const_cap() wrapper. | */ Given this, the hyp code can use cpus_have_final_cap() and avoid generating code to check the cpu_hwcaps array, which would be unsafe to run in hyp context. This patch migrate the KVM hyp code to cpus_have_final_cap(), avoiding this redundant code generation, and making it possible to detect if we accidentally invoke this code too early. In the latter case, the BUG() in cpus_have_final_cap() will cause a hyp panic.

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.
