[PATCH 0/4] Real mode interrupt injection emulation

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

 



Our current real mode interrupt injection injects external interrupts as
software interrupts, which is somewhat hacky.  This is problematic in big
real mode (can't use vmx there) and on via processors (a cpu bug prevents
this from working correctly).

Replace the current mechanism with emulation; we now inject the interrupt
by looking up the vector in the IVT, updating the stack, etc. using the
emulator. This is somewhat slower but works in all cases.

  KVM: VMX: Respect interrupt window in big real mode

Mohammed Gamal (3):
  KVM: x86 emulator: Expose emulate_int_real()
  KVM: Add kvm_inject_realmode_interrupt() wrapper
  KVM: VMX: Emulated real mode interrupt injection
