[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: arm64: Fixup PC updates on exit to userspace

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

 



We recently moved anything related to PC updates into the guest entry
code to help with the protected KVM effort. However, I missed a
critical point: userspace needs to be able to observe state changes
when the vcpu exits. Otherwise, live migration is a bit broken and
vcpu reset can fail (as reported by Zenghui). Not good.

These two patches aim at fixing the above, and carry a Cc stable.

* From v1:
  - Sanitized flag checking
  - Added comment about relying on __kvm_adjust_pc() being preempt-safe
  - Dropped superfluous includes
