[GIT PULL] KVM: x86: SVM changes for 6.8

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

 



A few minor fixes and cleanups, along with feature "enabling" for flush-by-ASID
to play nice with newer versions of VMware Workstation that require it.

The following changes since commit e9e60c82fe391d04db55a91c733df4a017c28b2f:

  selftests/kvm: fix compilation on non-x86_64 platforms (2023-11-21 11:58:25 -0500)

  KVM: SVM: Don't intercept IRET when injecting NMI and vNMI is enabled (2023-11-30 12:51:22 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM SVM changes for 6.8:

 - Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for TLB_CONTROL.

 - Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM always
   flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush requests.  This
   allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware Workstation on top of KVM.

 - Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV support.

 - Fix a benign NMI virtualization bug where KVM would unnecessarily intercept
   IRET when manually injecting an NMI, e.g. when KVM pends an NMI and injects
   a second, "simultaneous" NMI.

----------------------------------------------------------------

      Revert "nSVM: Check for reserved encodings of TLB_CONTROL in nested VMCB"
      KVM: nSVM: Advertise support for flush-by-ASID
      KVM: SVM: Explicitly require FLUSHBYASID to enable SEV support
      KVM: SVM: Don't intercept IRET when injecting NMI and vNMI is enabled
