This RFC series introduce the KVM support for PKS which have dependency on PKS kernel patches for some definitions. The latest kernel patch set can be found at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200717072056.73134-1-ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx/ --- Protection Keys for Supervisor Pages(PKS) is a feature that extends the Protection Keys architecture to support thread-specific permission restrictions on supervisor pages. PKS works similar to an existing feature named PKU(protecting user pages). They both perform an additional check after all legacy access permissions checks are done. If violated, #PF occurs and PFEC.PK bit will be set. PKS introduces MSR IA32_PKRS to manage supervisor protection key rights. The MSR contains 16 pairs of ADi and WDi bits. Each pair advertises on a group of pages with the same key which is set in the leaf paging-structure entries(bits[62:59]). Currently, IA32_PKRS is not supported by XSAVES architecture. This patchset aims to add the virtualization of PKS in KVM. It implemented PKS CPUID enumeration, vmentry/vmexit configuration, MSR exposure, nested supported etc. Currently, PKS is not yet supported for shadow paging. Detailed information about PKS can be found in the latest Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
