[PATCH v4 0/4] KVM: x86: Convey the exit reason, etc. to user-space on emulation failure
From: David Edmondson
Date: Fri Aug 13 2021 - 03:12:26 EST
To help when debugging failures in the field, if instruction emulation
fails, report the VM exit reason, etc. to userspace in order that it
can be recorded.
The SGX changes here are compiled but untested.
Sean: if you want me to add your name to patch 3, given that I adopted
your sample code almost unaltered, please say.
v4:
- Update the API for preparing emulation failure report (Sean)
- sgx uses the provided API in all relevant cases (Sean)
- Clarify the intended layout of kvm_run.emulation_failure.
v3:
- Convey any debug data un-flagged after the ABI specified data in
struct emulation_failure (Sean)
- Obey the ABI protocol in sgx_handle_emulation_failure() (Sean)
v2:
- Improve patch comments (dmatlock)
- Intel should provide the full exit reason (dmatlock)
- Pass a boolean rather than flags (dmatlock)
- Use the helper in kvm_task_switch() and kvm_handle_memory_failure()
(dmatlock)
- Describe the exit_reason field of the emulation_failure structure
(dmatlock)
David Edmondson (4):
KVM: x86: Clarify the kvm_run.emulation_failure structure layout
KVM: x86: Get exit_reason as part of kvm_x86_ops.get_exit_info
KVM: x86: On emulation failure, convey the exit reason, etc. to
userspace
KVM: x86: SGX must obey the KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION protocol
