Invalidate TLB

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

 



I have 2 questions regard TLB and PageTable in KVM.

1. I do not really get how the TLB gets saved and restored on when the
guest os vmexits and vmresumes. Or maybe the TLB is not saved at all (
TLB flushes when vmexit and vmenter happen).

2. Say i have multiple vCPUs and each of them running some guest OS
processes. suddenly one of the vCPU vmexits due to a trapping
instruction. This trapping instruction modifies the page table of a
currently running process ( running on one of the other vCPUs - vCPU X
). how does the vCPU X gets notified ( i.e. TLB invalidated).  some
kind of apic needs to be sent, right ?

Thanks

Xin
