The EL2 vectors installed when a guest is running point at one of the
following configurations for a given CPU:
- Straight at __kvm_hyp_vector
- A trampoline containing an SMC sequence to mitigate Spectre-v2 and
then a direct branch to __kvm_hyp_vector
- A dynamically-allocated trampoline which has an indirect branch to
__kvm_hyp_vector
- A dynamically-allocated trampoline containing an SMC sequence to
mitigate Spectre-v2 and then an indirect branch to __kvm_hyp_vector
The indirect branches mean that VA randomization at EL2 isn't trivially
bypassable using Spectre-v3a (where the vector base is readable by the
guest).
Rather than populate these vectors dynamically, configure everything
statically and use an enumerated type to identify the vector "slot"
corresponding to one of the configurations above. This both simplifies
the code, but also makes it much easier to implement at EL2 later on.

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.
