From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <suka...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> The ultravisor processor mode is introduced in POWER platforms that supports the Protected Execution Facility (PEF). Ultravisor is higher privileged than hypervisor mode.
In PEF enabled platforms, the MSR_S bit is used to indicate if the thread is in secure state. With the MSR_S bit, the privilege state of the thread is now determined by MSR_S, MSR_HV and MSR_PR, as follows: S HV PR ----------------------- 0 x 1 problem 1 0 1 problem x x 0 privileged x 1 0 hypervisor 1 1 0 ultravisor 1 1 1 reserved The hypervisor doesn't (and can't) run with the MSR_S bit set, but a secure guest and the ultravisor firmware do.
