The availability of KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2 signals that those bugs are fixed.

On such a +system, a guest can ask the ultravisor to make it a secure guest, +one whose memory is inaccessible to the host except for pages which +are explicitly requested to be shared with the host. The ultravisor +notifies KVM when a guest requests to become a secure guest, and KVM +has the opportunity to veto the transition. + +If present, this capability can be enabled for a VM, meaning that KVM +will allow the transition to secure guest mode. Otherwise KVM will +veto the transition. + 8. Other capabilities. ====================== |
