[PATCH V4] target/i386/kvm: Add Hyper-V direct tlb flush support

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

 



From: Tianyu Lan <Tianyu.Lan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hyper-V direct tlb flush targets KVM on Hyper-V guest.
Enable direct TLB flush for its guests meaning that TLB
flush hypercalls are handled by Level 0 hypervisor (Hyper-V)
bypassing KVM in Level 1. Due to the different ABI for hypercall
parameters between Hyper-V and KVM, KVM capabilities should be
hidden when enable Hyper-V direct tlb flush otherwise KVM
hypercalls may be intercepted by Hyper-V. Add new parameter
"hv-direct-tlbflush". Check expose_kvm and Hyper-V tlb flush
capability status before enabling the feature.

Change since v3:
       - Fix logic of Hyper-V passthrough mode with direct
       tlb flush.

Change sicne v2:
       - Update new feature description and name.
       - Change failure print log.

Change since v1:
       - Add direct tlb flush's Hyper-V property and use
       hv_cpuid_check_and_set() to check the dependency of tlbflush
       feature.
       - Make new feature work with Hyper-V passthrough mode.

+=======================
+Enable direct TLB flush for KVM when it is running as a nested
+hypervisor on top Hyper-V. When enabled, TLB flush hypercalls from L2
+guests are being passed through to L0 (Hyper-V) for handling. Due to ABI
+differences between Hyper-V and KVM hypercalls, L2 guests will not be
+able to issue KVM hypercalls (as those could be mishanled by L0
+Hyper-V), this requires KVM hypervisor signature to be hidden.
