...According to sp->u.sh.type, (like SH_type_l1_32_shadow ......), get each entry (shadow_l1e_get_flags) of the page table. Changes the flags to read only and then write the page table entry back (shadow_set_l1e). When going through the page table, I can use SHADOW_FOREACH_L1E (L2E, L3E, L4E) macro. However, I have one question. When dealing with shadow page table L2, L3, L4, can I use the same way as L1 page table to change flags and set flags ? } } Do you think my idea is possible? Thanks for giving me some suggestions. Best, Ming

1: correct LDT checks 2: add address validity check to guest_map_l1e() 3: use {rd,wr}{fs,gs}base when available 4: check for canonical address before doing page walks Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>

From: Zhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> With virtual EPT support, L1 hyerpvisor can use EPT hardware for L2 guest''s memory virtualization. In this way, L2 guest''s performance can be improved sharply. According to our testing, some benchmarks can show > 5x performance gain.

Populate-on-demand: Check pages being returned by the balloon driver This patch series is the second result of my work last summer on decreasing fragmentation of superpages in a guests'' p2m when using populate-on-demand. This patch series is against 4.1; I''m posting it to get feedback on the viability of getting a ported version of this patch into 4.2. As with the previous

The KVM introspection subsystem provides a facility for applications running on the host or in a separate VM, to control the execution of other VM-s (pause, resume, shutdown), query the state of the vCPUs (GPRs, MSRs etc.), alter the page access bits in the shadow page tables (only for the hardware backed ones, eg. Intel's EPT) and receive notifications when events of interest have taken place
