* kvm-arm64/tlbi-range: : . : FEAT_TLBIRANGE support, courtesy of Raghavendra Rao Ananta. : From the cover letter: : : "In certain code paths, KVM/ARM currently invalidates the entire VM's : page-tables instead of just invalidating a necessary range. For example, : when collapsing a table PTE to a block PTE, instead of iterating over : each PTE and flushing them, KVM uses 'vmalls12e1is' TLBI operation to : flush all the entries. This is inefficient since the guest would have : to refill the TLBs again, even for the addresses that aren't covered : by the table entry. The performance impact would scale poorly if many : addresses in the VM is going through this remapping. : : For architectures that implement FEAT_TLBIRANGE, KVM can replace such : inefficient paths by performing the invalidations only on the range of : addresses that are in scope. This series tries to achieve the same in : the areas of stage-2 map, unmap and write-protecting the pages." : .

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.
