[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: VMX: Sanitize VM-Entry/VM-Exit pairs during setup

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

 



Sanitize the VM-Entry/VM-Exit load+load and load+clear pairs when kvm_intel
is loaded instead of checking both controls at runtime.  Not sanitizing
means KVM ends up setting non-dynamic bits in the VMCS.

Add an on-by-default knob to reject kvm_intel if an inconsistent VMCS
config is detected instead of using a degraded and/or potentially broken
setup.

v2:
  - Drop the macros. [Paolo]
  - Tweak the module param name to try to capture that KVM doesn't check
    for all possible inconsistencies. [Jim]
  - Enable the knob by default. [Paolo]
