Hi all, I just implement the EPT support in my hypervisor (Very similar to Newbluepill). My problem is irrelevant with KVM. It's just about how to debug VTx implementation in drivers. Here is the story. First, I implement a driver to support partial VTx, and it works very well. Then I implement EPT to identically map gfn to mfn from 0x0 to 0xfffff. I suppose it should be OK. But the result is the Windows OS hangs (No reboot, No BSOD) when executing VMLAUNCH instruction. And my problem is that, the windbg just shows "debuggee is running" when the debuggee Windows OS hangs, even if I insert "ud2" instruction before the next statement, #VMEXIT handler and the first instruction in non-root mode. VMLAUNCH should not make this happen according to Intel's manual 2B. Everything is OK if I set "enable ept" to be 0 or clear the "EPT pointer" field in VMCS. Can someone explain why this happens and what should I do to continue debugging? Both the hypervisor and the Windows OS is on x86_32 platform. I use windbg to debug the target machine via serial port. Some debug information: EPT pointer is 0x9ba801e, (pfn:0x9ba8, flag:0x1e, I have double checked this) PML4[0] = 0x00000000_09cd8007, PDPT[0] = 0x00000000_09cf3007, PD[0] = 0x00000000_09cf2007, PT[0] = 0x00000000_00000077. Other entries are of the same scheme with different values. The debuggee platform is on Intel i5 650, multi-core disabled. Since KVM also concentrates on building hypervisor via loading driver, I am really looking forward for your help.
