There is already support of enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks for x86 in commit3c9bd4006b("KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in small chunks") andc862626("KVM: arm64: Support enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks"). This adds support for riscv. x86 and arm64 writes protect both huge pages and normal pages now, so riscv protect also protects both huge pages and normal pages. On a nested virtualization setup (RISC-V KVM running inside a QEMU VM on an [Intel® Core™ i5-12500H] host), I did some tests with a 2G Linux VM using different backing page sizes. The time taken for memory_global_dirty_log_start in the L2 QEMU is listed below: Page Size Before After Optimization 4K 4490.23ms 31.94ms 2M 48.97ms 45.46ms 1G 28.40ms 30.93ms Signed-off-by: Quan Zhou <zhouquan@iscas.ac.cn> Signed-off-by: Dong Yang <dayss1224@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Anup Patel <anup@brainfault.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251103062825.9084-1-dayss1224@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Anup Patel <anup@brainfault.org>
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.
