Subject: [PATCH v3 6/9] KVM: SVM: Add support for IBS Virtualization
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 06:00:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310060022.15120-7-manali.shukla@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260310060022.15120-1-manali.shukla@amd.com>

From: Santosh Shukla <santosh.shukla@amd.com>

IBS virtualization (VIBS) allows a guest to collect Instruction-Based
Sampling (IBS) data using hardware-assisted virtualization. With VIBS
enabled, the hardware automatically saves and restores guest IBS state
during VM-Entry and VM-Exit via the VMCB State Save Area.

IBS-generated interrupts are delivered directly to the guest without
causing a VMEXIT.

VIBS depends on mediated PMU mode and requires either AVIC or NMI
virtualization for interrupt delivery. However, since AVIC can be
dynamically inhibited, VIBS requires VNMI to be enabled to ensure
reliable interrupt delivery. If AVIC is inhibited and VNMI is
disabled, the guest can encounter a VMEXIT_INVALID when IBS
virtualization is enabled for the guest.

Because IBS state is classified as swap type C, the hypervisor must
save its own IBS state before VMRUN and restore it after VMEXIT. It
must also disable IBS before VMRUN and re-enable it afterward. This
will be handled using mediated PMU support in subsequent patches by
enabling mediated PMU capability for IBS PMUs.

More details about IBS virtualization can be found at [1].
