KVM: arm64: Delay the polling of the GICR_VPENDBASER.Dirty bit
In order to reduce the impact of the VPT parsing happening on the GIC, we can split the vcpu reseidency in two phases: - programming GICR_VPENDBASER: this still happens in vcpu_load() - checking for the VPT parsing to be complete: this can happen on vcpu entry (in kvm_vgic_flush_hwstate()) This allows the GIC and the CPU to work in parallel, rewmoving some of the entry overhead.

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.
