[RFC 12/26] KVM: VMX: Introduce HFI table index for vCPU

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

 



From: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

The HFI table contains a table header and many table entries. Each table
entry is identified by an HFI table index, and each CPU corresponds to
one of the HFI table indexes [1].

Add hfi_table_idx in vcpu_vmx, and this will be used to build virtual
HFI table.

This HFI index is initialized to 0, but in the following patch the VMM
can be allowed to configure this index with a custom value (CPUID.0x06.
edx[bits 16-31]).
