Subject: [PATCH 0/3] x86/kvm: Enable MCE injection in the guest
Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2018 11:50:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180622095101.32587-1-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
Hi all,
there's this mce-inject.ko module in the kernel which allows for
injecting real MCEs and thus test the MCE handling code.
It is doubly useful to be able to inject same MCEs in a guest so that
testing of the MCE handling code can happen even easier/faster. In order
to be able to do that on an AMD guest, we need to emulate some bits
and pieces like the HWCR[McStatusWrEn] bit which allows writes to the
MCi_STATUS registers without a #GP.
The below does that and with it I'm able to properly inject MCEs in said
guest.
Thx.
