[PATCH v2 3/3] KVM: SVM: Add support for MPK feature on AMD

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

 



The Memory Protection Key (MPK) feature provides a way for applications
to impose page-based data access protections (read/write, read-only or
no access), without requiring modification of page tables and subsequent
TLB invalidations when the application changes protection domains.

This feature is already available in Intel platforms. Now enable the
feature on AMD platforms.

AMD documentation for MPK feature is available at "AMD64 Architecture
Programmer’s Manual Volume 2: System Programming, Pub. 24593 Rev. 3.34,
Section 5.6.6 Memory Protection Keys (MPK) Bit". Documentation can be
obtained at the link below.
