This adds a new powerpc-specific KVM_CAP_SPAPR_RESIZE_HPT capability to advertise whether KVM is capable of handling the PAPR extensions for resizing the hashed page table during guest runtime. It also adds definitions for two new VM ioctl()s to implement this extension, and documentation of the same. Note that, HPT resizing is already possible with KVM PR without kernel modification, since the HPT is managed within userspace (qemu). The capability defined here will only be set where an in-kernel implementation of resizing is necessary, i.e. for KVM HV. To determine if the userspace resize implementation can be used, it's necessary to check KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB. Unfortunately older kernels incorrectly set KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB even with KVM PR. If userspace it want to support resizing with KVM PR on such kernels, it will need a workaround.

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.
