Subject: [patch 07/12] [PATCH] kvm-s390-ucontrol: interface to inject faults on a vcpu page table
Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:57:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111201130409.545995661@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20111201125732.085553111@de.ibm.com
[-- Attachment #1: guest-fault-interface.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1469 bytes --]
This patch allows the user to fault in pages on a virtual cpus
address space for user controlled virtual machines. Typically this
is superfluous because userspace can just create a mapping and
let the kernel's page fault logic take are of it. There is one
exception: SIE won't start if the lowcore is not present. Normally
the kernel takes care of this [handle_validity() in
arch/s390/kvm/intercept.c] but since the kernel does not handle
intercepts for user controlled virtual machines, userspace needs to
be able to handle this condition.
