- New page table code for both hypervisor and guest stage-2
- Introduction of a new EL2-private host context
- Allow EL2 to have its own private per-CPU variables
- Support of PMU event filtering
- Complete rework of the Spectre mitigation
PPC:
- Fix for running nested guests with in-kernel IRQ chip
- Fix race condition causing occasional host hard lockup
- Minor cleanups and bugfixes
x86:
- allow trapping unknown MSRs to userspace
- allow userspace to force #GP on specific MSRs
- INVPCID support on AMD
- nested AMD cleanup, on demand allocation of nested SVM state
- hide PV MSRs and hypercalls for features not enabled in CPUID
- new test for MSR_IA32_TSC writes from host and guest
- cleanups: MMU, CPUID, shared MSRs
- LAPIC latency optimizations ad bugfixes
For x86, also included in this pull request is a new alternative and
(in the future) more scalable implementation of extended page tables
that does not need a reverse map from guest physical addresses to
host physical addresses. For now it is disabled by default because
it is still lacking a few of the existing MMU's bells and whistles.
However it is a very solid piece of work and it is already available
for people to hammer on it.
