[RFC v2 1/7] KVM: VMX: Introduce PKS VMCS fields

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

 



PKS(Protection Keys for Supervisor Pages) is a feature that extends the
Protection Key architecture to support thread-specific permission
restrictions on supervisor pages.

A new PKS MSR(PKRS) is defined in kernel to support PKS, which holds a
set of permissions associated with each protection domian.

Two VMCS fields {HOST,GUEST}_IA32_PKRS are introduced in
{host,guest}-state area to store the value of PKRS.

Every VM exit saves PKRS into guest-state area.
If VM_EXIT_LOAD_IA32_PKRS = 1, VM exit loads PKRS from the host-state
area.
If VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_PKRS = 1, VM entry loads PKRS from the guest-state
area.
