In order to differenciate between architectures that require no extra synchronisation when accessing the dirty ring and those who do, add a new capability (KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL) that identify the latter sort. TSO architectures can obviously advertise both, while relaxed architectures must only advertise the ACQ_REL version. This requires some configuration symbol rejigging, with HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING being only indirectly selected by two top-level config symbols: - HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_TSO for strongly ordered architectures (x86) - HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_ACQ_REL for weakly ordered architectures (arm64) Suggested-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Gavin Shan <gshan@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220926145120.27974-3-maz@kernel.org
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.
