[PATCH v3 00/11] RFC: nested AVIC

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

 



This patch series implement everything that is needed to
use AMD's AVIC while a nested guest is running including
ability of the nested guest to use it, and brings feature
parity vs APICv.

I already posted patch 2, and patch 1 is extracted from another
patch I posted today ‘KVM: x86: nSVM: implement nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE’
To make this series not depend on anything.

This is RFC. There still corner cases that need to be fixed in regard to locking,
especially around RCU use, locking is IMHO a bit ugly and inefficient.

I did test this with nested guests (even 3 level of nesting, all with AVIC enabled),
I also did a light test with VFIO passthrough.

Suggestions, comments are welcome.

Best regards,

Maxim Levitsky (11):
  KVM: x86: SVM: move nested_npt_enabled to svm.h
  KVM: x86: SVM: allow AVIC to co-exist with a nested guest running
  KVM: x86: mmu: allow to enable write tracking externally
  x86: KVMGT: use kvm_page_track_write_tracking_enable
  KVM: x86: mmu: add gfn_in_memslot helper
  KVM: x86: lapic: don't allow to change APIC ID when apic acceleration
    is enabled
  KVM: x86: SVM: remove avic's broken code that updated APIC ID
  KVM: x86: SVM: move avic state to separate struct
  KVM: x86: rename .set_apic_access_page_addr to reload_apic_access_page
  KVM: nSVM: implement support for nested AVIC
  KVM: SVM: allow to avoid not needed updates to is_running
