Subject: [PATCH v8 0/4] KVM: Add virtualization support of split lock detection
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2020 14:31:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200414063129.133630-1-xiaoyao.li@intel.com> (raw)
This series aims to add the virtualization of split lock detection in
KVM.
Due to the fact MSR TEST_CTRL is per-core scope, feature split lock
detection can be exposed to guest only when SMT is disabled/unsupported.
Changes in v8:
- rebase to v5.7-rc1.
- basic enabling of split lock detection already merged.
- When host is sld_warn and nosmt, load guest's sld bit when in KVM
context, i.e., between vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() and before
vmx_prepare_switch_to_host(), KVM uses guest sld setting.
Changes in v7:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200325030924.132881-1-xiaoyao.li@intel.com
- only pick patch 1 and patch 2, and hold all the left.
- Update SLD bit on each processor based on sld_state.
Changes in v6:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200324151859.31068-1-xiaoyao.li@intel.com
- Drop the sld_not_exist flag and use X86_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT to
check whether need to init split lock detection. [tglx]
- Use tglx's method to verify the existence of split lock detectoin.
- small optimization of sld_update_msr() that the default value of
msr_test_ctrl_cache has split_lock_detect bit cleared.
- Drop the patch3 in v5 that introducing kvm_only option. [tglx]
- Rebase patch4-8 to kvm/queue.
- use the new kvm-cpu-cap to expose X86_FEATURE_CORE_CAPABILITIES in
Patch 6.
Changes in v5:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200315050517.127446-1-xiaoyao.li@intel.com
- Use X86_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT flag in kvm to ensure split lock
detection is really supported.
- Add and export sld related helper functions in their related usecase
kvm patches.
