[RFC,1/5,1/5] kvm: register in task_struct

Commit Message

Fengguang Wu Sept. 1, 2018, 11:28 a.m. UTC

The added pointer will be used by the /proc/PID/idle_bitmap code to
quickly identify QEMU task and walk EPT/NPT accordingly. For virtual
machines, the A bits will be set in guest page tables and EPT/NPT,
rather than the QEMU task page table.

This costs 8 bytes in task_struct which could be wasteful for the
majority normal tasks. The alternative is to add a flag only, and
let it find the corresponding VM in kvm vm_list.
