[PATCH 0/2] Expose VMFUNC to the nested hypervisor
From: Bandan Das
Date: Thu Jun 29 2017 - 19:30:30 EST
These patches expose eptp switching/vmfunc to the nested hypervisor. Testing with
kvm-unit-tests seems to work ok.
If the guest hypervisor enables vmfunc/eptp switching, a "shadow" eptp list
address page is written to the VMCS. Initially, it would be unpopulated which
would result in a vmexit with exit reason 59. This hooks to handle_vmfunc()
to rewrite vmcs12->ept_pointer to reload the mmu and get a new root hpa.
This new shadow ept pointer is written to the shadow eptp list in the given
index. A next vmfunc call to switch to the given index would succeed without
an exit.
