From dd6e631220181162478984d2d46dd979e04d8e75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2022 07:49:45 -0500 Subject: KVM: x86: add system attribute to retrieve full set of supported xsave states Because KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID is meant to be passed (by simple-minded VMMs) to KVM_SET_CPUID2, it cannot include any dynamic xsave states that have not been enabled. Probing those, for example so that they can be passed to ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM, requires a new ioctl or arch_prctl. The latter is in fact worse, even though that is what the rest of the API uses, because it would require supported_xcr0 to be moved from the KVM module to the kernel just for this use. In addition, the value would be nonsensical (or an error would have to be returned) until the KVM module is loaded in. Therefore, to limit the growth of system ioctls, add a /dev/kvm variant of KVM_{GET,HAS}_DEVICE_ATTR, and implement it in x86 with just one group (0) and attribute (KVM_X86_XCOMP_GUEST_SUPP).
