When the VHE code was reworked, a lot of the vgic stuff was moved around, but the GICv4 residency code did stay untouched, meaning that we come in and out of residency on each flush/sync, which is obviously suboptimal. To address this, let's move things around a bit: - Residency entry (flush) moves to vcpu_load - Residency exit (sync) moves to vcpu_put - On blocking (entry to WFI), we "put" - On unblocking (exit from WFI), we "load" Because these can nest (load/block/put/load/unblock/put, for example), we now have per-VPE tracking of the residency state. Additionally, vgic_v4_put gains a "need doorbell" parameter, which only gets set to true when blocking because of a WFI. This allows a finer control of the doorbell, which now also gets disabled as soon as it gets signaled.

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.
