    KVM: MIPS/MMU: Move preempt/ASID handling to implementation · 1581ff3d
    James Hogan authored
    The MIPS KVM host and guest GVA ASIDs may need regenerating when
    scheduling a process in guest context, which is done from the
    kvm_arch_vcpu_load() / kvm_arch_vcpu_put() functions in mmu.c.
    
    However this is a fairly implementation specific detail. VZ for example
    may use GuestIDs instead of normal ASIDs to distinguish mappings
    belonging to different guests, and even on VZ without GuestID the root
    TLB will be used differently to trap & emulate.
    
    Trap & emulate GVA ASIDs only relate to the user part of the full
    address space, so can be left active during guest exit handling (guest
    context) to allow guest instructions to be easily read and translated.
    
    VZ root ASIDs however are for GPA mappings so can't be left active
    during normal kernel code. They also aren't useful for accessing guest
    virtual memory, and we should have CP0_BadInstr[P] registers available
    to provide encodings of trapping guest instructions anyway.
    
    Therefore move the ASID preemption handling into the implementation
    callback.
