[PATCH v2] KVM: X86: Emulate MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MWAIT bit

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

 



From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

MSR IA32_MSIC_ENABLE bit 18, according to SDM:

| When this bit is set to 0, the MONITOR feature flag is not set (CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] = 0). 
| This indicates that MONITOR/MWAIT are not supported.
| 
| Software attempts to execute MONITOR/MWAIT will cause #UD when this bit is 0.
| 
| When this bit is set to 1 (default), MONITOR/MWAIT are supported (CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] = 1). 

The CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] ought to mirror the value of the MSR bit, 
CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] is a better guard than kvm_mwait_in_guest().
kvm_mwait_in_guest() affects the behavior of MONITOR/MWAIT, not its
guest visibility.

This patch implements toggling of the CPUID bit based on guest writes 
to the MSR.
