Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] KVM: nVMX: Fix EPT switching advertising
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 18:42:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1508290980-3525-1-git-send-email-wanpeng.li@hotmail.com> (raw)

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

I can use vmxcap tool to observe "EPTP Switching   yes" even if EPT is not 
exposed to L1.

EPT switching is advertised unconditionally since it is emulated, however, 
it can be treated as an extended feature for EPT and it should not be 
advertised if EPT itself is not exposed. This patch fixes it.

v2 -> v3:
 * it is legal for the IA32_VMX_VMFUNC MSR to report all-zero
v1 -> v2:
 * don't advertise "EPT VM Functions" in secondary processor-based VM-execution 
   controls if we don't actually support any VM Functions.
