KVM maps memory as if the vCPU generated a stage-2 read page fault, e.g. faults in memory as needed, but doesn't break CoW. However, KVM does not mark any newly created stage-2 PTE as Accessed. +In the case of confidential VM types where there is an initial set up of +private guest memory before the guest is 'finalized'/measured, this ioctl +should only be issued after completing all the necessary setup to put the +guest into a 'finalized' state so that the above semantics can be reliably +ensured. + In some cases, multiple vCPUs might share the page tables. In this case, the ioctl can be called in parallel. |
