tlb flush after each vm_exit, also virtual interrupts injection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello List,

1)
I've seen some slides, back in 08, in which it is described
that the use of VPID, will solve the problem of TLB flush after each VM_EXIT.
But, i see from the code that it actually does a flush after a VM_EXIT.

Obviously, i am wrong. So I need some help,
Where to look, i mean which lines of code, in order to figure out, what is
happening with TLB flush and VM_EXITS


2) system call from ing 0 (non-root), to ring 0(root)
Could guest os, do a system call to host os?

3) what is the mechanism of virtual interrupt injection
What is the mechanism that is used for a virtual interrupt injection,
in full virtualization?

Host injects an interrupt to guest, HOW?  eg. hardware interrupt?
to which point of guest? guest complete_bh?


4)
I've seen from bibliography, that KVM operates in protection ring -1.
What doe it mean? Is there HW implementation for that ring?

Why not in ring 0?



Looking forward for your help
