Instead, it attempts to enable all features and those that are not supported are silently disabled by the hypervisor. This was done to reduce unnecessary complexity and is sufficient for many cases. However, new scenarios require fine-grained control over these features. Define a new mshv_create_partition_v2 structure which supports passing the disabled processor and xsave feature bits through to the create partition hypercall directly. The kernel does not introspect the bits in these new fields as they are part of the hypervisor ABI. Require the caller to provide the number of cpu feature banks passed, to support extending the number of banks in future. Disable all banks that are not specified to ensure the behavior is predictable with newer hypervisors. Introduce a new flag MSHV_PT_BIT_CPU_AND_XSAVE_FEATURES which enables the new structure. If unset, the original mshv_create_partition struct is used, with the old behavior of enabling all features. Co-developed-by: Jinank Jain Signed-off-by: Jinank Jain Signed-off-by: Muminul Islam Signed-off-by: Nuno Das Neves --- Changes in v3: - Remove the new cpu features definitions in hvhdk.h, and retain the old behavior of enabling all features for the old struct. For the v2 struct, still disable unspecified feature banks, since that makes it robust to future extensions. - Amend comments and commit message to reflect the above - Fix unused variable on arm64 [kernel test robot] Changes in v2: - Fix exposure of CONFIG_X86_64 to uapi [kernel test robot] - Fix compilation issue on arm64 [kernel test robot] --- drivers/hv/mshv_root_main.c | 94 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- include/uapi/linux/mshv.h | 34 ++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 110 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/hv/mshv_root_main.c b/drivers/hv/mshv_root_main.c index d542a0143bb8..814465a0912d 100644 --- a/drivers/hv/mshv_root_main.c +++ b/drivers/hv/mshv_root_main.c @@ -1900,43 +1900,101 @@ add_partition(struct mshv_partition *partition) return 0;
