Instruction cpucfg can be used to get processor features. And there is a trap exception when it is executed in VM mode, and also it can be used to provide cpu features to VM. On real hardware cpucfg area 0 - 20 is used by now. Here one specified area 0x40000000 -- 0x400000ff is used for KVM hypervisor to provide PV features, and the area can be extended for other hypervisors in future. This area will never be used for real HW, it is only used by software. Signed-off-by: Bibo Mao <maobibo@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn>
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 reStructuredText 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.
