KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add a VM capability to enable nested virtualization
With this, userspace can enable a KVM-HV guest to run nested guests under it. The administrator can control whether any nested guests can be run; setting the "nested" module parameter to false prevents any guests becoming nested hypervisors (that is, any attempt to enable the nested capability on a guest will fail). Guests which are already nested hypervisors will continue to be so. Reviewed-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

HV-KVM on POWER9 and later systems allows for "nested-HV"
|
||||
virtualization, which provides a way for a guest VM to run guests that
|
||||
can run using the CPU's supervisor mode (privileged non-hypervisor
|
||||
state). Enabling this capability on a VM depends on the CPU having
|
||||
the necessary functionality and on the facility being enabled with a
|
||||
kvm-hv module parameter.
