Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
f0eb154c39
vmovp_lock is abused in a number of cases to serialise updates to vlpi_count[] and deal with map/unmap of a VM to ITSs. Instead, provide a per-VM lock and revisit the use of vlpi_count[] so that it is always wrapped in this per-VM vmapp_lock. This reduces the potential contention on a concurrent VMOVP command, and paves the way for subsequent VPE locking that holding vmovp_lock actively prevents due to the lock ordering.

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 reStructuredText 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.
