[PATCH v3 0/6] KVM: nVMX: Enlightened VMCS for Hyper-V on KVM

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

 



Changes since v2:
- Rebase to the current kvm/queue.
- Simplify clean fields check in prepare_vmcs02{,_full} and
  copy_enlightened_to_vmcs12() by resetting the clean fields mask in
  nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld() when we switch from one L2 guest
  to another [Paolo Bonzini]
- Cope with the newly introduced vmx_get_nested_state() by returning
  -ENOTSUPP when eVMCS is in use. We'll do proper nested state save/restore
  later.

Description:

This is an initial implementation of Enlightened VMCS for nested Hyper-V on
KVM. Using it helps to spare 1500 cpu cycles for nested vmexit (tight cpuid
loop in WS2016 with Hyper-V role on KVM: 15200 cycles -> 13700 cycles).
