Subject: [PATCH 6.1 0/5] KVM CR0.WP series backport
Date: Mon, 8 May 2023 17:45:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230508154602.30008-1-minipli@grsecurity.net> (raw)
This is a backport of the CR0.WP KVM series[1] to Linux v6.1, pretty
much the same as for v6.2.
I used 'ssdd 10 50000' from rt-tests[2] as a micro-benchmark, running on
a grsecurity L1 VM. Below table shows the results (runtime in seconds,
lower is better):
legacy TDP shadow
Linux v6.1.23 7.65s 8.23s 68.7s
+ patches 3.36s 3.36s 69.1s
The KVM unit test suite showed no regressions.
Please consider applying.
Thanks,
Mathias
