Some comments on the interface: - the argument should be one of "run" (i.e. do nothing and continue, the default), "internal-error" (i.e. raise a KVM internal error), "disable" (i.e. do not enable the capability). You can add the enum to qapi/runstate.json and use object_class_property_add_enum to define the QOM property. - properties should have a dash ("-") in the name, not an underscore - the property should be added to "-accel kvm,..." (on x86 only). See after my signature for a preparatory patch that adds a new kvm_arch_accel_class_init hook. The default would be either "run" or "disable". Honestly I think it should be "run", otherwise there's no point in adding the feature; if it is not enabled by default, it is very likely that no one would use it. > A new KVM exit reason KVM_EXIT_NOTIFY is defined for notify VM exit.

I don't think a triple fault is a good match for an event that "should not happen" and is the fault of the processor rather than the guest. This should be a KVM internal error.

When exposed to QEMU users as accelerator properties (i.e. -accel kvm,prop=value), they should not be available for all targets. Add a hook for targets to add their own properties to -accel kvm; for now no such property is defined.

In previous KVM patch discussion, we were worried about the buggy silicon to cause the invalid context case, which will kill the benign VM. But since there is little possibility and we can't tell if it is a false positive when it happens. I think default to "run" is acceptable. >> A new KVM exit reason KVM_EXIT_NOTIFY is defined for notify VM exit.

There are cases that malicious virtual machine can cause CPU stuck (due to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or other VMs. Notify VM exit is introduced to mitigate such kind of attacks, which will generate a VM exit if no event window occurs in VM non-root mode for a specified amount of time (notify window). A new KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT is exposed to user space so that the user can query the capability and set the expected notify window when creating VMs. The format of the argument when enabling this capability is as follows: Bit 63:32 - notify window specified in qemu command Bit 31:0 - some flags (e.g. KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED is set to enable the feature.) Because there are some concerns, e.g. a notify VM exit may happen with VM_CONTEXT_INVALID set in exit qualification (no cases are anticipated that would set this bit), which means VM context is corrupted. To avoid the false positive and a well-behaved guest gets killed, make this feature disabled by default. Users can enable the feature by a new machine property: qemu -machine notify_vmexit=on,notify_window=0 ... Note that notify_window is only valid when notify_vmexit is on. The valid range of notify_window is non-negative. It is even safe to set it to zero since there's an internal hardware threshold to be added to ensure no false positive. A new KVM exit reason KVM_EXIT_NOTIFY is defined for notify VM exit. If it happens with VM_INVALID_CONTEXT, hypervisor exits to user space to inform the fatal case. Then user space can inject a SHUTDOWN event to the target vcpu. This is implemented by injecting a sythesized triple fault event.
