[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 0/3] Add hvmops for setting and getting the suppress #VE bit

[Adrian Pop <apop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As the code stands right now, after DomU has enabled #VE using
HVMOP_altp2m_vcpu_enable_notify, all its pages have the #VE suppress bit
cleared, generating #VEs for any EPT violation.  There is currently no
way to change the value of the #VE suppress bit for a page from a
domain; it can only be done in Xen internally using ept_set_entry().

Following the discussion from
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2017-03/msg01312.html these
patches introduce new hvmops for setting and getting this bit and thus
having control over which pages generate #VE and which VM-Exit.

  x86/altp2m: Add a hvmop for setting the suppress #VE bit
  x86/altp2m: Add a hvmop for querying the suppress #VE bit

  x86/mm: Change default value for suppress #VE in set_mem_access()
