| |
This patchset adds support setting the VMX capability MSRs from userspace. This is required for migration of nested-capable VMs to different CPUs and KVM versions.
Patch 1 generates the non-true VMX MSRs using the true MSRs, which allows userspace to skip restoring them.
Patch 2 adds support for restoring the VMX capability MSRs.
Patches 3 and 4 make KVM's emulation of MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 more accurate.
Patch 5 fixes a bug in emulated VM-entry that came up when testing patches 3 and 4.
Changes since v2: * Generate CR0_FIXED1 in addition to CR4_FIXED1 * Generate "non-true" capability MSRs from the "true" versions and remove "non-true" MSRs from struct nested_vmx. * Disallow restore of CR{0,4}_FIXED1 and "non-true" MSRs since they are generated.
Changes since v1: * Support restoring less-capable versions of MSR_IA32_VMX_BASIC, MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED{0,1}. * Include VMX_INS_OUTS in MSR_IA32_VMX_BASIC initial value.
David Matlack (5): KVM: nVMX: generate non-true VMX MSRs based on true versions KVM: nVMX: support restore of VMX capability MSRs KVM: nVMX: fix checks on CR{0,4} during virtual VMX operation KVM: nVMX: generate MSR_IA32_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 from guest CPUID KVM: nVMX: load GUEST_EFER after GUEST_CR0 during emulated VM-entry
