    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add a capability for enabling secure guests · 9a5788c6
    Paul Mackerras 提交于
    At present, on Power systems with Protected Execution Facility
    hardware and an ultravisor, a KVM guest can transition to being a
    secure guest at will.  Userspace (QEMU) has no way of knowing
    whether a host system is capable of running secure guests.  This
    will present a problem in future when the ultravisor is capable of
    migrating secure guests from one host to another, because
    virtualization management software will have no way to ensure that
    secure guests only run in domains where all of the hosts can
    support secure guests.
    
    This adds a VM capability which has two functions: (a) userspace
    can query it to find out whether the host can support secure guests,
    and (b) userspace can enable it for a guest, which allows that
    guest to become a secure guest.  If userspace does not enable it,
    KVM will return an error when the ultravisor does the hypercall
    that indicates that the guest is starting to transition to a
    secure guest.  The ultravisor will then abort the transition and
    the guest will terminate.
