[PATCH v2 0/3] INVPCID support for the AMD guests

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

 



The following series adds the support for PCID/INVPCID on AMD guests.

For the guests with nested page table (NPT) support, the INVPCID
feature works as running it natively. KVM does not need to do any
special handling in this case.

INVPCID interceptions are added only when the guest is running with
shadow page table enabled. In this case the hypervisor needs to
handle the tlbflush based on the type of invpcid instruction type.

AMD documentation for INVPCID feature is available at "AMD64
Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 2: System Programming,
Pub. 24593 Rev. 3.34(or later)"

The documentation can be obtained at the links below:
