Hello! It turns out KVM relies on the inline hint being honoured by the compiler in quite a few more places than expected. Something about the Shadow Call Stack support[0] causes the compiler to avoid inline-ing and to place these functions outside the __hyp_text. This ruins KVM's day. Add the simon-says __always_inline annotation to all the static inlines that KVM calls from HYP code. This series based on v5.6-rc2.
This isn't quite as yuck as I expected, fortunately, but it does beg the question whether we shouldn't simply map the entire kernel at EL2 instead? _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
