[PATCH v3 10/27] KVM: VMX: Set FRED MSR interception

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

 



From: Xin Li <xin3.li@xxxxxxxxx>

Add FRED MSRs to the VMX passthrough MSR list and set FRED MSRs
interception.

8 FRED MSRs, i.e., MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP[123], MSR_IA32_FRED_STKLVLS,
MSR_IA32_FRED_SSP[123] and MSR_IA32_FRED_CONFIG, are all safe to be
passthrough, because they all have a pair of corresponding host and
guest VMCS fields.

Both MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 and MSR_IA32_FRED_SSP0 are dedicated for user
level event delivery only, IOW they are NOT used in any kernel event
delivery and the execution of ERETS.  Thus KVM can run safely with
guest values in the 2 MSRs.  As a result, save and restore of their
guest values are postponed until vCPU context switching and their host
values are restored on returning to userspace.

Save/restore of MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 is done in the next patch.

Note, as MSR_IA32_FRED_SSP0 is an alias of MSR_IA32_PL0_SSP, its save
and restore is done through the CET supervisor context management.
