[PATCH v2 0/2] Cleanup VMFUNC handling in KVM.

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

 



Since VMFUNC is not supported for non-nested guests, and executing VMFUNC
can cause a #UD directly, if the “enable VM functions” VM-execution control
is 0, KVM can just disable it in VM-exectution control, instead of taking
pains to trap it and emulate the #UD for L1 guests.

Also, simplified the process of setting SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_VMFUNC for
nested VMX MSR configurations.

Change log:
==========
v1->v2
- Split the patch into two pieces.
- Use KVM_BUG_ON() for unexpected VM Exits.
- Comments changes.
- Commit message changes, trying to better illustrate the reason.

Yu Zhang (2):
  KVM: VMX: Do not trap VMFUNC instructions for L1 guests.
  KVM: nVMX: Simplify the setting of SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_VMFUNC for
    nested.
