This should allow msr->host_initiated always (even if XFD is not part of
CPUID).
Thanks Paolo.
msr->host_initiated handling would be added in next version.
I'd like to ask why always allow msr->host_initiated even if XFD is not part of
CPUID, although guest doesn't care that MSR? We found some MSRs
(e.g. MSR_AMD64_OSVW_STATUS and MSR_AMD64_OSVW_ID_LENGTH )
are specially handled so would like to know the consideration of allowing
msr->host_initiated.
if (!msr_info->host_initiated && !guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_XFD))
return 1;
Because it's simpler if userspace can just take the entire list from
KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST and pass it to KVM_GET/SET_MSR. See for example
vcpu_save_state and vcpu_load_state in
tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/x86_64/processor.c.
However, if XFD is nonzero and kvm_check_guest_realloc_fpstate
returns true, then it should return 1.
If XFD is nonzero, kvm_check_guest_realloc_fpstate() won't return true. So
may not need this check here?
It can't for now, because there's a single dynamic feature, but here:
+ if ((xfd & xcr0) != xcr0) {
+ u64 request = (xcr0 ^ xfd) & xcr0;
+ struct fpu_guest *guest_fpu = &vcpu->arch.guest_fpu;
+
+ /*
+ * If requested features haven't been enabled, update
+ * the request bitmap and tell the caller to request
+ * dynamic buffer reallocation.
+ */
+ if ((guest_fpu->user_xfeatures & request) != request) {
+ vcpu->arch.guest_fpu.realloc_request = request;
+ return true;
+ }
+ }
it is certainly possible to return true with nonzero XFD.
