[PATCH v9 02/24] KVM: Move architecture capability Kconfigs to header defines
From: Steffen Eiden
Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 14:31:55 EST
Historically, KVM feature opt-ins and callbacks were configured globally
via Kconfig symbols (CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_* and CONFIG_KVM_*).
With s390 hosting multiple independent KVM implementations within the
same kernel build (native s390 KVM and arm64 on s390), global Kconfig
selections force both implementations to inherit options that only apply
to one of them.
Replace these global Kconfig options with architecture-specific opt-in
defines in <asm/kvm_host.h> and standardize their naming by dropping the
HAVE_ prefix:
- KVM_INVALID_WAKEUPS
- KVM_MSI (formerly HAVE_KVM_MSI)
- KVM_NO_POLL (formerly HAVE_KVM_NO_POLL)
- KVM_READONLY_MEM (formerly HAVE_KVM_READONLY_MEM)
- KVM_VCPU_RUN_PID_CHANGE (formerly HAVE_KVM_VCPU_RUN_PID_CHANGE)
This allows each architecture and guest implementation to configure its
supported capabilities independently in its kvm_host header and eliminates
unnecessary fallback stubs across different KVM targets.
