Mapping pages in a guest page-table from within the pKVM hypervisor at EL2 may require cache maintenance to ensure that the initialised page contents is visible even to non-cacheable (e.g. MMU-off) accesses from the guest. In preparation for performing this maintenance at EL2, introduce a per-vCPU fixmap which allows the pKVM hypervisor to map guest pages temporarily into its stage-1 page-table for the purposes of cache maintenance and, in future, poisoning on the reclaim path. The use of a fixmap avoids the need for memory allocation or locking on the map() path.

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.
