Architectures such as arm64 and riscv uses vcpu variables such as has_run_once and ran_atleast_once, respectively, to mark if the vCPU has started running. Since these are architecture agnostic variables, introduce kvm_vcpu_has_run_once() as a core kvm functionality and use this instead of the architecture defined variables. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by: Raghavendra Rao Ananta <redacted>
arm64 is moving away from this, see [1]. You also don't need any new state, as vcpu->pid gives you exactly what you need. Happy to queue additional patches on top if you want to deal with riscv. Thanks, M.
