Subject: [PATCH v4 8/8] KVM: nVMX: Implement Enlightened MSR Bitmap feature
Date: Tue,  9 Nov 2021 17:28:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211109162835.99475-9-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211109162835.99475-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>

Updating MSR bitmap for L2 is not cheap and rearly needed. TLFS for Hyper-V
offers 'Enlightened MSR Bitmap' feature which allows L1 hypervisor to
inform L0 when it changes MSR bitmap, this eliminates the need to examine
L1's MSR bitmap for L2 every time when 'real' MSR bitmap for L2 gets
constructed.

Use 'vmx->nested.msr_bitmap_changed' flag to implement the feature.

Note, KVM already uses 'Enlightened MSR bitmap' feature when it runs as a
nested hypervisor on top of Hyper-V. The newly introduced feature is going
to be used by Hyper-V guests on KVM.

When the feature is enabled for Win10+WSL2, it shaves off around 700 CPU
cycles from a nested vmexit cost (tight cpuid loop test).
