When pKVM is enabled, the hypervisor code at EL2 and its data structures are inaccessible to the host kernel and cannot be torn down or replaced as this would defeat the integrity properies which pKVM aims to provide. Furthermore, the ABI between the host and EL2 is flexible and private to whatever the current implementation of KVM requires and so booting a new kernel with an old EL2 component is very likely to end in disaster. In preparation for uninstalling the hyp stub calls which are relied upon to reset EL2, disable kexec and hibernation in the host when protected KVM is enabled.

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.
