Shih-Wei Li f6769581e9 KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Avoid flushing vgic state when there's no pending IRQ
We do not need to flush vgic states in each world switch unless
there is pending IRQ queued to the vgic's ap list. We can thus reduce
the overhead by not grabbing the spinlock and not making the extra
function call to vgic_flush_lr_state.

Note: list_empty is a single atomic read (uses READ_ONCE) and can
therefore check if a list is empty or not without the need to take the
spinlock protecting the list.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
