[PATCH v5 0/7] KVM: x86: Hyper-V invariant TSC control feature
From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Thu Oct 13 2022 - 05:59:08 EST
Changes since v4:
- s,HV_INVARIANT_TSC_EXPOSED,HV_EXPOSE_INVARIANT_TSC, [Michael]
- Add Michael's R-b to PATCH1
- Use 'KVM-only' instead of 'scattered' in PATCH2's subject [Sean, Jim]
- Do not set CPUID_8000_0007_EDX to 'NCAPINTS + 1' explicitly [Sean]
- Use the opportunity and switch to 'true'/'false' for 'msr->write'/
'msr->fault_exepected' in 'hyperv_features' test [Sean]
- Fix HVCALL_NOTIFY_LONG_SPIN_WAIT test breakage by setting
HYPERV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO.EBX.
- "KVM: selftests: Test that values written to Hyper-V MSRs are
preserved" patch added [Sean]
Original description:
Normally, genuine Hyper-V doesn't expose architectural invariant TSC
(CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]) to its guests by default. A special PV MSR
(HV_X64_MSR_TSC_INVARIANT_CONTROL, 0x40000118) and corresponding CPUID
feature bit (CPUID.0x40000003.EAX[15]) were introduced. When bit 0 of the
PV MSR is set, invariant TSC bit starts to show up in CPUID. When the
feature is exposed to Hyper-V guests, reenlightenment becomes unneeded.
Note: strictly speaking, KVM doesn't have to have the feature as exposing
raw invariant TSC bit (CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]) also seems to work for
modern Windows versions. The feature is, however, tiny and straitforward
and gives additional flexibility so why not.
