[PATCH v17 20/24] KVM: arm64: Enable support for guest_memfd backed memory
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Jul 29 2025 - 19:02:01 EST
From: Fuad Tabba <tabba@xxxxxxxxxx>
Now that the infrastructure is in place, enable guest_memfd for arm64.
* Select CONFIG_KVM_GUEST_MEMFD in KVM/arm64 Kconfig.
* Enforce KVM_MEMSLOT_GMEM_ONLY for guest_memfd on arm64: Ensure that
guest_memfd-backed memory slots on arm64 are only supported if they
are intended for shared memory use cases (i.e.,
kvm_memslot_is_gmem_only() is true). This design reflects the current
arm64 KVM ecosystem where guest_memfd is primarily being introduced
for VMs that support shared memory.
