[PATCH v3 0/8] This patch-set is to enable Guest CET support

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

 



Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) provides protection against
return/jump-oriented programming (ROP) attacks. To make kvm Guest OS own
the capability, this patch-set is required. It enables CET related CPUID
report, xsaves/xrstors, vmx entry configuration etc. for Guest OS.

PATCH 1    : Define CET VMCS fields and bits.
PATCH 2/3  : Report CET feature support in CPUID.
PATCH 4    : Fix xsaves size calculation issue.
PATCH 5    : Pass through CET MSRs to Guest.
PATCH 6    : Set Guest CET state auto loading bit.
PATCH 7    : Enable CET xsaves bits support in XSS.
PATCH 8    : Add CET MSR user space access interface.

Changelog:
 v3:
 - Modified patches to make Guest CET independent to Host enabling.
 - Added patch 8 to add user space access for Guest CET MSR access.
 - Modified code comments and patch description to reflect changes.
  
 v2:
 - Re-ordered patch sequence, combined one patch.
 - Added more description for CET related VMCS fields.
 - Added Host CET capability check while enabling Guest CET loading bit.
 - Added Host CET capability check while reporting Guest CPUID(EAX=7,
   EXC=0).
 - Modified code in reporting Guest CPUID(EAX=D,ECX>=1), make it clearer.
 - Added Host and Guest XSS mask check while setting bits for Guest XSS.
