Will Deacon f85279b4bd arm64: KVM: Save/restore the host SPE state when entering/leaving a VM
The SPE buffer is virtually addressed, using the page tables of the CPU
MMU. Unusually, this means that the EL0/1 page table may be live whilst
we're executing at EL2 on non-VHE configurations. When VHE is in use,
we can use the same property to profile the guest behind its back.

This patch adds the relevant disabling and flushing code to KVM so that
the host can make use of SPE without corrupting guest memory, and any
attempts by a guest to use SPE will result in a trap.

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.
