[PATCH v4 00/12] KVM: nVMX: Enlightened VMCS for Hyper-V on KVM

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Wed Aug 08 2018 - 11:56:00 EST


Changes since v3:
- Rebase to the current kvm/queue.
- Add nested state migration support [Paolo Bonzini]
- Add a selftest [Paolo Bonzini]

Patches 7-12 are new in v4.

Description:

This is an initial implementation of Enlightened VMCS for nested Hyper-V on
KVM. Using it helps to spare 1500 cpu cycles for nested vmexit (tight cpuid
loop in WS2016 with Hyper-V role on KVM: 15200 cycles -> 13700 cycles).
