The ESSA instruction has a new option that allows to tag pages that are not used as a page table. Without the tag the hypervisor has to assume that any guest page could be used in a page table inside the guest. This forces the hypervisor to flush all guest TLB entries whenever a host page table entry is invalidated. With the tag the host can skip the TLB flush if the page is tagged as normal page.

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.
