KVM uses __KVM_HAVE_* symbols in the architecture-dependent uapi/asm/kvm.h to mask unused definitions in include/uapi/linux/kvm.h. __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM however was nothing but a misguided attempt to define KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM only on architectures where KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM) could possibly return nonzero. This however does not make sense, and it prevented userspace from supporting this architecture-independent feature without recompilation. Therefore, these days __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM does not mask anything and is only used in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c. Userspace does not need to test it and there should be no need for it to exist. Remove it and replace it with a Kconfig symbol within Linux source code. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
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.
