[PATCH v9 1/6] KVM: x86: Consolidate flags for __linearize()

From: Binbin Wu
Date: Tue Jun 06 2023 - 05:18:58 EST


Consolidate two bool parameters (write/fetch) of __linearize() into a
'u32 flags' parameter to make the function be more concise and future
extendable, i.e. to support Intel Linear Address Masking (LAM), which
allows high non-address bits of linear address to be used as metadata.

Define two flags to replace the two bools. A new flag will be added to
to support LAM to skip masking off metadata bits of linear address
under some conditions.

No functional change intended.
