[PATCH v2 0/2] Improve KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ handling for CoCo VMs
From: Kai Huang
Date: Sun Jul 13 2025 - 18:20:48 EST
This series follows Sean's suggestions [1][2] to:
- Reject vCPU scope KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ ioctl for TSC protected vCPU
- Reject VM scope KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ ioctl when vCPUs have been created
.. in the discussion of SEV-SNP Secure TSC support series.
v1 -> v2:
- Protect kvm->create_vcpus check using kvm->lock. - Chao.
- Add documentation update to each patch. -Nikunj.
- Collect RB (Xiaoyao, Nikunj).
- Switched the patch order to make documentation update easier.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/cover.1752038725.git.kai.huang@xxxxxxxxx/
Hi Xiaoyao, Nikunj, I added your RB anyway, so let me know if you have
concern :-)
This series has been sanity tested with TDX guests using today's Qemu:
- With this series Qemu can still run TDX guests successfully.
- With some hack to the Qemu, both VM and vCPU scope KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ
ioctls failed as expected.
