Virtual Machine can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of system. Bus lock can be caused by split locked access to writeback(WB) memory or by using locks on uncacheable(UC) memory. The bus lock is typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait for the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can complete). To address the threat, bus lock VM exit is introduced to notify the VMM when a bus lock was acquired, allowing it to enforce throttling or other policy based mitigations. A VMM can enable VM exit due to bus locks by setting a new "Bus Lock Detection" VM-execution control(bit 30 of Secondary Processor-based VM execution controls). If delivery of this VM exit was preempted by a higher priority VM exit (e.g. EPT misconfiguration, EPT violation, APIC access VM exit, APIC write VM exit, exception bitmap exiting), bit 26 of exit reason in vmcs field is set to 1. In current implementation, the KVM exposes this capability through KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT. The user can get the supported mode bitmap (i.e. off and exit) and enable it explicitly (disabled by default). If bus locks in guest are detected by KVM, exit to user space even when current exit reason is handled by KVM internally. Set a new field KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK in vcpu->run->flags to inform the user space that there is a bus lock detected in guest. Document for Bus Lock VM exit is now available at the latest "Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
