So, about this VMEXIT sync thing. I do agree that we should at least
try and do it (and assess performance).
I was wondering, however, what we think about core-scheduling + address
space isolation (or whatever it is/will be called). More specifically,
whether such a solution wouldn't be considered an equally safe setup
(at least for the virt use-cases, of course).
Basically, core-scheduling would prevent VM-to-VM attacks while ASI
would mitigate VM-to-hypervisor attacks.
Of course, such a solution would need to be fully implemented and
evaluated too... I just wanted to toss it around, mostly to know what
you think about it and whether or not it is already on your radar.
Thanks and Regards
