[PATCH 1/2] RISC-V: KVM: Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking
Posted by zhouquan@iscas.ac.cn 8 months ago 
From: Quan Zhou <zhouquan@iscas.ac.cn>

Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking on riscv:

- Enable CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_ACQ_REL as riscv is weakly
  ordered.
- Set KVM_DIRTY_LOG_PAGE_OFFSET for the ring buffer's physical page
  offset.
- Add a check to kvm_vcpu_kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests for checking
  whether the dirty ring is soft full.

To handle vCPU requests that cause exits to userspace, modified the
`kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests` to return a value (currently only
returns 0 or 1).
