[PATCH 0/5] KVM: Add a kvm_run flag to signal need for completion
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Jan 10 2025 - 20:25:02 EST
Add a flag to kvm_run, KVM_RUN_NEEDS_COMPLETION, that is set by KVM to
inform userspace that KVM_RUN needs to be re-invoked prior to state
save/restore. The current approach of relying on KVM developers to
update documentation, and on VMM developers to read said documentation,
is brittle and error prone.
Note, this series is *very* lightly tested (borderline RFC).
Sean Christopherson (5):
KVM: x86: Document that KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL requires completion
KVM: Clear vcpu->run->flags at start of KVM_RUN for all architectures
KVM: Add a common kvm_run flag to communicate an exit needs completion
KVM: selftests: Provide separate helper for KVM_RUN with
immediate_exit
KVM: selftests: Rely on KVM_RUN_NEEDS_COMPLETION to complete userspace
exits
