Subject: [PATCH 00/13] KVM: x86: Add a cap to disable NX hugepages on a VM
Given the high cost of NX hugepages in terms of TLB performance, it may
be desirable to disable the mitigation on a per-VM basis. In the case of public
cloud providers with many VMs on a single host, some VMs may be more trusted
than others. In order to maximize performance on critical VMs, while still
providing some protection to the host from iTLB Multihit, allow the mitigation
to be selectively disabled.
Disabling NX hugepages on a VM is relatively straightforward, but I took this
as an opportunity to add some NX hugepages test coverage and clean up selftests
infrastructure a bit.
Patches 1-2 add some library calls for accessing stats via the binary stats API.
Patches 3-5 improve memslot ID handling in the KVM util library.
Patch 6 is a misc logging improvement.
Patches 7 and 13 implement an NX hugepages test.
Patches 8, 9, 10, and 12 implement disabling NX on a VM.
Patch 11 is a small cleanup of a bad merge.
This series was tested with the new selftest and the rest of the KVM selftests
on an Intel Haswell machine.
The following tests failed, but I do not believe that has anything to do with
this series:
userspace_io_test
vmx_nested_tsc_scaling_test
vmx_preemption_timer_test
