By default, protected KVM isolates memory pages so that they are accessible only to their owner: be it the host kernel, the hypervisor at EL2 or (in future) the guest. Establishing shared-memory regions between these components therefore involves a transition for each page so that the owner can share memory with a borrower under a certain set of permissions. Introduce a do_share() helper for safely sharing a memory region between two components. Currently, only host-to-hyp sharing is implemented, but the code is easily extended to handle other combinations and the permission checks for each component are reusable.

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.
