Hi All, If only stage1 side is taken and merged, KVM should be disabled under 4 level lookups with the following configuration adjustment. I've tested it on top of arm64/for-next/core branch and it works fine. --- a/arch/arm64/kvm/Kconfig +++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/Kconfig @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ if VIRTUALIZATION config KVM bool "Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) support" + depends on !ARM64_4_LEVELS select MMU_NOTIFIER select PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS select ANON_INODES However, I don't know whether it does make sense or not. In other words, stage2 side should be prepared to fully support 4 level lookups. In order to cover all combinations of host and guest, VTTBR_X should be determined dynamically as referring to hardware capability. At this point, the patches have been revised many times, but they don't have got ACKs from Christoffer and Marc yet. That is why the patches are pending now in the author's point of view. - Jungseok Lee-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
