If they are not tracing the kernel why should they be tracing the guest at all? If you only choose to trace userspace, anything that happens between syscall entry and syscall exit is hidden and ioctl(KVM_RUN) _is_ a syscall. >> If PT context switching is enabled with the module parameter, we could >> also reject creation of events with the attribute set.

Does that mean that an unprivileged user can effectively DoS virtualization for everyone on the machine? (Honest question). I am aware that guest-side tracing blocks host-side guest tracing, but that's exactly why it is entirely opt-in. Only root can enable it by switching the module parameter. I don't see any way to change that, other than rejecting this feature completely. Paolo
