[PATCH v4 0/5] KVM: x86: Partially allow KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN for CPU hotplug

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Fri Jan 21 2022 - 08:29:18 EST


Changes since v3:
- Use memcmp() [Sean].
- Update the comment in kvm_set_cpuid() making (hopefully) it more clear
that the introduced check does not cover all potentially problemmatic
scenarios [Sean].
- Add "KVM: x86: Move CPUID.(EAX=0x12,ECX=1) mangling to
__kvm_update_cpuid_runtime()" patch.

Original description:

Recently, KVM made it illegal to change CPUID after KVM_RUN but
unfortunately this change is not fully compatible with existing VMMs.
In particular, QEMU reuses vCPU fds for CPU hotplug after unplug and it
calls KVM_SET_CPUID2. Relax the requirement by implementing an allowing
KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} with the exact same data.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (5):
KVM: x86: Do runtime CPUID update before updating
vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries
KVM: x86: Move CPUID.(EAX=0x12,ECX=1) mangling to
__kvm_update_cpuid_runtime()
KVM: x86: Partially allow KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN
KVM: selftests: Rename 'get_cpuid_test' to 'cpuid_test'
KVM: selftests: Test KVM_SET_CPUID2 after KVM_RUN
