This patch series is based on the VM introspection patches
(https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/[email protected]/),
extending the introspection API with EPT Views and Virtualization
Exceptions (#VE) support.
The purpose of this series is to get an initial feedback and to see if
we are on the right track, especially because the changes made to add
the EPT views are not small (even if they add support only for different
access rights for now, not for different content).
One use case for these extensions is to run a guest agent, isolated in
another EPT view and using Virtualization Exceptions (#VE), to reduce
the number of VM-Exits caused by EPT violations.
Another case for EPT views is to single-step one vCPU on a different view
(with more relaxed page access restrictions) while all the others run
on a main/restricted view.
Patches 1-11 make preparatory changes for EPT views.
Patches 12-19 extend the VM introspection API with EPT-views related
commands and data. The Get/Set/Control EPT view commands are added,
the KVMI_VM_SET_PAGE_ACCESS command and the vCPU introspection events
are extended with the EPT view.
Patches 20-30 make preparatory changes for #VE.
Patches 31-34 extend the VM introspection API with #VE related commands.
