The host kernel is currently able to change EL2 stage-1 mappings without restrictions thanks to the __pkvm_create_mappings() hypercall. But in a world where the host is no longer part of the TCB, this clearly poses a problem. To fix this, introduce a new hypercall to allow the host to share a physical memory page with the hypervisor, and remove the __pkvm_create_mappings() variant. The new hypercall implements ownership and permission checks before allowing the sharing operation, and it annotates the shared page in the hypervisor stage-1 and host stage-2 page-tables.

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 Restructured Text 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.
