[PATCH 04/29] nVMX: Introduce vmcs12: a VMCS structure for L1

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

 



An implementation of VMX needs to define a VMCS structure. This structure
is kept in guest memory, but is opaque to the guest (who can only read or
write it with VMX instructions).

This patch starts to define the VMCS structure which our nested VMX
implementation will present to L1. We call it "vmcs12", as it is the VMCS
that L1 keeps for its L2 guests. We will add more content to this structure
in later patches.

This patch also adds the notion (as required by the VMX spec) of L1's "current
VMCS", and finally includes utility functions for mapping the guest-allocated
VMCSs in host memory.
