From 236de05553a7ef8f6940de8686ae9bf1272cd2cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Graf Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:17:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Allow setting the SVME bit Normally setting the SVME bit in EFER is not allowed, as we did not support SVM. Not since we do, we should also allow enabling SVM mode. v2 comes as last patch, so we don't enable half-ready code v4 introduces a module option to enable SVM v6 warns that nesting is enabled Acked-by: Joerg Roedel Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity --- arch/x86/kvm/svm.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c b/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c index df5b41192661..0fbbde54ecae 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c @@ -69,6 +69,9 @@ static int npt = 1; module_param(npt, int, S_IRUGO); +static int nested = 0; +module_param(nested, int, S_IRUGO); + static void kvm_reput_irq(struct vcpu_svm *svm); static void svm_flush_tlb(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu); @@ -443,6 +446,11 @@ static __init int svm_hardware_setup(void) if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_NX)) kvm_enable_efer_bits(EFER_NX); + if (nested) { + printk(KERN_INFO "kvm: Nested Virtualization enabled\n"); + kvm_enable_efer_bits(EFER_SVME); + } + for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { r = svm_cpu_init(cpu); if (r) -- 2.39.5
