[PATCH 6.1 0/5] KVM CR0.WP series backport

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

 



This is a backport of the CR0.WP KVM series[1] to Linux v6.1, pretty
much the same as for v6.2.

I used 'ssdd 10 50000' from rt-tests[2] as a micro-benchmark, running on
a grsecurity L1 VM. Below table shows the results (runtime in seconds,
lower is better):

                        legacy     TDP    shadow
    Linux v6.1.23        7.65s    8.23s    68.7s
    + patches            3.36s    3.36s    69.1s

The KVM unit test suite showed no regressions.

Please consider applying.

Thanks,
Mathias

    enabled
  KVM: x86: Make use of kvm_read_cr*_bits() when testing bits
  KVM: VMX: Make CR0.WP a guest owned bit
