From: Avi Kivity Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 12:34:28 +0000 (+0200) Subject: KVM: MMU: Remove global pte tracking X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc1~1008^2~44 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aac012245a59d78372dc66d292ba567367d86b60;p=linux-2.6 KVM: MMU: Remove global pte tracking The initial, noncaching, version of the kvm mmu flushed the all nonglobal shadow page table translations (much like a native tlb flush). The new implementation flushes translations only when they change, rendering global pte tracking superfluous. This removes the unused tracking mechanism and storage space.
