This is an update on Fuad's series[1]. Instead of going going back and forth over a series that has seen a fair few versions, I've opted for simply writing a set of fixes on top, hopefully greatly simplifying the handling of most registers, and moving things around to suit my own taste (just because I can). I won't be reposting the initial 11 patches, which is why this series in is reply to patch 11.Thanks for this series. I've reviewed, built it, and tested it with a dummy protected VM (since we don't have proper protected VMs yet), which initializes some of the relevant protected VMs metadata as well as its control registers. So fwiw: Reviewed-by: Fuad Tabba <redacted> And to whatever extent possible at this stage: Tested-by: Fuad Tabba <redacted>
Hi Fuad, Out of curiosity, when testing pKVM, what VMM do you use? Also, can you describe what a "dummy pVM" is? Is it a just pVM which is not actually protected? How similar is a pVM to a typical VIRTIO-using VM? Actually, maybe I should just ask if there are instructions for playing with pKVM somewhere that I could get a pointer to.
