Hi Everyone,
I am trying to use the MSR load and store areas in vmx. I did following:
1. Setting vm_entry_msr_load_count:
vmcs_write32(VM_ENTRY_MSR_LOAD_COUNT, 1);
2. Setting up vm_entry_msr_load_addr :
static struct page *vmx_msr_load;
Then in vmx_init() :
vmx_msr_load = alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM);
va=kmap(vmx_msr_load);
memset(va, MSR_P6_PERFCTR0, 32); /*Bits 31:0 contain msr's address*/
memset(va+32, 0x0, 32); /*Bits 63:32 are reserved and shall be all Zeros*/
memset(va+64, 0x0, 64); /*The data to be loaded on VM-Entry*/
And then:
vmcs_write64(VM_ENTRY_MSR_LOAD_ADDR, page_to_phys(vms_msr_load));
-------
Now, this results in VM-exit with following on terminal :
