Abstract the MIPS KVM guest CP0 register access macros into inline
functions which are generated by macros. This allows them to be
generated differently for VZ, where they will usually need to access the
hardware guest CP0 context rather than the saved values in RAM.
Accessors for each individual register are generated using these macros:
- __BUILD_KVM_*_SW() for registers which are not present in the VZ
hardware guest context, so kvm_{read,write}_c0_guest_##name() will
access the saved value in RAM regardless of whether VZ is enabled.
- __BUILD_KVM_*_HW() for registers which are present in the VZ hardware
guest context, so kvm_{read,write}_c0_guest_##name() will access the
hardware register when VZ is enabled.
These build the underlying accessors using further macros:
- __BUILD_KVM_*_SAVED() builds e.g. kvm_{read,write}_sw_gc0_##name()
functions for accessing the saved versions of the registers in RAM.
This is used for implementing the common
kvm_{read,write}_c0_guest_##name() accessors with T&E where registers
are always stored in RAM, but are also available with VZ HW registers
to allow them to be accessed while saved.
- __BUILD_KVM_*_VZ() builds e.g. kvm_{read,write}_vz_gc0_##name()
functions for accessing the VZ hardware guest context registers
directly. This is used for implementing the common
kvm_{read,write}_c0_guest_##name() accessors with VZ.
- __BUILD_KVM_*_WRAP() builds wrappers with different names, which
allows the common kvm_{read,write}_c0_guest_##name() functions to be
implemented using the VZ accessors while still having the SAVED
accessors available too.
- __BUILD_KVM_SAVE_VZ() builds functions for saving and restoring VZ
hardware guest context register state to RAM, improving conciseness
of VZ context saving and restoring.
Similar macros exist for generating modifiers (set, clear, change),
either with a normal unlocked read/modify/write, or using atomic LL/SC
sequences.
These changes change the types of 32-bit registers to u32 instead of
unsigned long, which requires some changes to printk() functions in MIPS
KVM.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
