James Hogan 06c158c96e KVM: MIPS/MMU: Convert guest physical map to page table
Current guest physical memory is mapped to host physical addresses using
a single linear array (guest_pmap of length guest_pmap_npages). This was
only really meant to be temporary, and isn't sparse, so its wasteful of
memory. A small amount of RAM at GPA 0 and a small boot exception vector
at GPA 0x1fc00000 cannot be represented without a full 128KiB guest_pmap
allocation (MIPS32 with 16KiB pages), which is one reason why QEMU
currently runs its boot code at the top of RAM instead of the usual boot
exception vector address.

Instead use the existing infrastructure for host virtual page table
management to allocate a page table for guest physical memory too. This
should be sufficient for now, assuming the size of physical memory
doesn't exceed the size of virtual memory. It may need extending in
future to handle XPA (eXtended Physical Addressing) in 32-bit guests, as
supported by VZ guests on P5600.

Some of this code is based loosely on Cavium's VZ KVM implementation.

README

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.
