Subject: [PATCH v6 16/20] KVM: nVMX: Add support for the secondary VM exit controls
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:36:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821223630.984383-17-xin@zytor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250821223630.984383-1-xin@zytor.com>

From: Xin Li <xin3.li@intel.com>

Enable the secondary VM exit controls to prepare for nested FRED.

Signed-off-by: Xin Li <xin3.li@intel.com>
Signed-off-by: Xin Li (Intel) <xin@zytor.com>
Tested-by: Shan Kang <shan.kang@intel.com>
Tested-by: Xuelian Guo <xuelian.guo@intel.com>
---

Changes in v5:
* Allow writing MSR_IA32_VMX_EXIT_CTLS2 (Sean).
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.

Change in v3:
* Read secondary VM exit controls from vmcs_conf insteasd of the hardware
  MSR MSR_IA32_VMX_EXIT_CTLS2 to avoid advertising features to L1 that KVM
  itself doesn't support, e.g. because the expected entry+exit pairs aren't
  supported. (Sean Christopherson)
