This patch is to emulate VMCLEAR instruction. L1 hypervisor issues VMCLEAR on a VMCS12 whose state could be any of these: active and current, active but not current, not yet VMPTRLDed. To emulate the VMCLEAR instruction, ACRN sets the VMCS12 launch state to "clear", and if L0 already cached this VMCS12, need to sync it back to guest memory: - sync shadow fields from shadow VMCS VMCS to cache VMCS12 - copy cache VMCS12 to L1 guest memory Tracked-On: #5923 Signed-off-by: Sainath Grandhi <sainath.grandhi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zide Chen <zide.chen@intel.com>
ACRN Hypervisor ############### The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the "ACRN Device Model". The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and embedded devices. You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website. .. _`Project ACRN`: https://projectacrn.org .. _`ACRN Hypervisor`: https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor .. _`Project ACRN documentation`: https://projectacrn.github.io/
