This series makes it possible for userspace to manage MSRs by having KVM
forward select MSRs to it when rdmsr and wrmsr are executed in the guest.
Userspace can set this up by calling the ioctl KVM_SET_EXIT_MSRS with a
list of MSRs it wants to manage. When KVM encounters any of these MSRs
they are forwarded to userspace for processing. Userspace can then read
from or write to the MSR, or it can also throw a #GP if needed.
This series includes the kernel changes needed to implement this feature
and a test that exercises this behavior. Also, included is an
implementation of expection handling in selftests, which allows the test
to excercise throwing a #GP.
v1 -> v2:
- Added support for generic instruction emulator bouncing to userspace when
rdmsr or wrmsr are called, and userspace has asked to manage the MSR.
These changes are committed in patch 3, and are based on changes made by
Alexander Graf <graf@xxxxxxxxxx>.
- Added tests to excercise the code paths for em_{rdmsr,wrmsr} and
emulator_{get,set}_msr. These chagnes are committed in patch 8.
Aaron Lewis (8):
KVM: x86: Add ioctl for accepting a userspace provided MSR list
KVM: x86: Add support for exiting to userspace on rdmsr or wrmsr
KVM: x86: Allow em_{rdmsr,wrmsr} to bounce to userspace
KVM: x86: Prepare MSR bitmaps for userspace tracked MSRs
KVM: x86: Ensure the MSR bitmap never clears userspace tracked MSRs
selftests: kvm: Fix the segment descriptor layout to match the actual
layout
selftests: kvm: Add test to exercise userspace MSR list
selftests: kvm: Add emulated rdmsr, wrmsr tests
