[PATCH v8 05/46] KVM: Make CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES selectable

From: Ackerley Tng via B4 Relay <devnull+ackerleytng.google.com@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-06-19 00:31:47
Also in: b4-sent, kvm, linux-coco, linux-doc, linux-kselftest, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Ackerley Tng <redacted>

Make CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES selectable, only for (CoCo) VM types
that might use vm_memory_attributes.

Also document CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to specifically be about the
private/shared attribute.
