How will userspace control which subset of these features is allowed in
the guest?

(We can reuse the KVM SBI extension interface if we don't want to add a
  FWFT specific ONE_REG.)

Hi Radim,

I didn't looked at that part. But most likely using the kvm one reg
interface seems ok like what is done for STA ? We could have per feature
override with one reg per feature.

Sounds fine.


Yeah. We can have a follow up series for SBI FWFT state that allows user space to toggle each state individually.

Is this something blocking though ? We'd like to merge FWFT once SBI 3.0
is ratified so that would be nice not delaying it too much. I'll take a
look at it to see if it isn't too long to implement.

Not blocking, but I would at least default FWFT to disabled, because
current userspace cannot handle [14/14].  (Well... save/restore was
probably broken even before, but let's try to not make it worse. :])


User space can not enable or disable misaligned access delegation as there is no interface for now rightly pointed by you. I guess supporting that would be quicker than fixing the broader guest save/restore anyways. Isn't it ?

We can have the patches ready for the next MW for FWFT one reg interface.

Thanks.
