[PATCH v6 03/20] KVM: VMX: Disable FRED if FRED consistency checks fail

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Xin Li <xin3.li@xxxxxxxxx>

Do not virtualize FRED if FRED consistency checks fail.

Either on broken hardware, or when run KVM on top of another hypervisor
before the underlying hypervisor implements nested FRED correctly.

Changes in v5:
* Drop the cpu_feature_enabled() in cpu_has_vmx_fred() (Sean).
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.

Change in v4:
* Call out the reason why not check FRED VM-exit controls in
  cpu_has_vmx_fred() (Chao Gao).
