Subject: [PATCH v8 6/8] x86/cpufeatures: Add Page modification logging
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 06:39:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907063906.1964557-7-nikunj@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907063906.1964557-1-nikunj@amd.com>

Page modification logging(PML) is a hardware feature designed to track
guest modified memory pages. PML enables the hypervisor to identify which
pages in a guest's memory have been changed since the last checkpoint or
during live migration.

The PML feature is advertised via CPUID leaf 0x8000000A ECX[4] bit.
