[PATCH v7 3/9] i386: hardcode supported eVMCS version to '1'


From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Subject: [PATCH v7 3/9] i386: hardcode supported eVMCS version to '1'
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2021 13:48:29 +0200

Currently, the only eVMCS version, supported by KVM (and described in TLFS)
is '1'. When Enlightened VMCS feature is enabled, QEMU takes the supported
eVMCS version range (from KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS enablement) and
puts it to guest visible CPUIDs. When (and if) eVMCS ver.2 appears a
problem on migration is expected: it doesn't seem to be possible to migrate
from a host supporting eVMCS ver.2 to a host, which only support eVMCS
ver.1.

Hardcode eVMCS ver.1 as the result of 'hv-evmcs' enablement for now. Newer
eVMCS versions will have to have their own enablement options (e.g.
'hv-evmcs=2').

 The enlightenment is nested specific, it targets Hyper-V on KVM guests. When
-enabled, it provides Enlightened VMCS feature to the guest. The feature

 implements paravirtualized protocol between L0 (KVM) and L1 (Hyper-V)
 hypervisors making L2 exits to the hypervisor faster. The feature is
