For very long, we have kept this pointer back to the per-cpu host state, despite having working per-cpu accessors at EL2 for some time now. Recent investigations have shown that this pointer is easy to abuse in preemptible context, which is a sure sign that it would better be gone. Not to mention that a per-cpu pointer is faster to access at all times.

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.
