Marc Zyngier 6d674e28f6 KVM: arm/arm64: Properly handle faulting of device mappings
A device mapping is normally always mapped at Stage-2, since there
is very little gain in having it faulted in.

Nonetheless, it is possible to end-up in a situation where the device
mapping has been removed from Stage-2 (userspace munmaped the VFIO
region, and the MMU notifier did its job), but present in a userspace
mapping (userpace has mapped it back at the same address). In such
a situation, the device mapping will be demand-paged as the guest
performs memory accesses.

This requires to be careful when dealing with mapping size, cache
management, and to handle potential execution of a device mapping.

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.
