[PATCH v2] kvm: x86: Add logical CPU to KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY info

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

 



More often than not, a failed VM-entry in a production environment is
the result of a defective CPU (at least, insofar as Intel x86 is
concerned). To aid in identifying the bad hardware, add the logical
CPU to the information provided to userspace on a KVM exit with reason
KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY. The presence of this additional information is
indicated by a new capability, KVM_CAP_FAILED_ENTRY_CPU.
