[XEN PATCH 0/2] Enable Bus Lock Detect as rate limiter

Posted by Matthew Barnes 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Bus Lock Detect can be used to reduce the effects of DoS in case it
happens.

This patch series enables BLD from MSR_DEBUGCTL if available, and
refines a mechanism to restore MSR_DEBUGCTL upon VMExit to support BLD
as well as LBR.

Said mechanism is also refactored to have a name that reflects generally
restoring the MSR, instead of only one field.

Matthew Barnes (2):
  x86: Enable BLD and handle #DB traps
  x86: Refactor LBR feature into general MSR_DEBUGCTL feature
