[PATCH V4 2/3] KVM/Hyper-V: Add new KVM capability KVM_CAP_HYPERV_DIRECT_TLBFLUSH

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

 



From: Tianyu Lan <Tianyu.Lan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hyper-V direct tlb flush function should be enabled for
guest that only uses Hyper-V hypercall. User space
hypervisor(e.g, Qemu) can disable KVM identification in
CPUID and just exposes Hyper-V identification to make
sure the precondition. Add new KVM capability KVM_CAP_
HYPERV_DIRECT_TLBFLUSH for user space to enable Hyper-V
direct tlb function and this function is default to be
disabled in KVM.

Change since v3:
	- Update Changelog.
Change since v1:
	- Update description of KVM_CAP_HYPERV_DIRECT_TLBFLUSH
        in the KVM API doc.

+This capability indicates that KVM running on top of Hyper-V hypervisor
+enables Direct TLB flush for its guests meaning that TLB flush
+hypercalls are handled by Level 0 hypervisor (Hyper-V) bypassing KVM.
+Due to the different ABI for hypercall parameters between Hyper-V and
+KVM, enabling this capability effectively disables all hypercall
+handling by KVM (as some KVM hypercall may be mistakenly treated as TLB
+flush hypercalls by Hyper-V) so userspace should disable KVM identification
+in CPUID and only exposes Hyper-V identification. In this case, guest
+thinks it's running on Hyper-V and only use Hyper-V hypercalls.
