Query on KVM exit

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

 



Hi all,

My name is Ady from NAIST Japan.
Currently I'm trying to learn how KVM work, especially on KVM-exit
part (where the guest mode handle the control to the Kernel mode/KVM).

1) I know that there are about 45 KVM exit reasons. However, I can't
find any enough information about those exit-reasons on the net. Maybe
I've been using wrong keywords. Can you give me some pointer on where
to look? For example, what is PENDING_INTERRUPT reason, and when it is
called.

2) I know that the guest-mode exit to kernel-mode when the guest
system need to execute 'sensitive' operation. Are there any detail on
the internet what are those 'sensitive' operations?
for example, if the guest system execute some hardware API, such as
clflush (that flush the CPU cache), is it need to be executed in
kernel mode or it can be executed in guest mode without KVM exit?

Thank you in advance for your kind attention.
