Publication number: 20240126580Abstract: Transparently providing a virtualization feature to an unenlightened guest operating system (OS). A guest partition, corresponding to a virtual machine, is divided into a first guest privilege context and a second guest privilege context. A compatibility component executes within the first guest privilege context, while a guest OS executes within the second guest privilege context. The compatibility component is configured to intercept input/output (I/O) operations associated with the guest operating OS. Based on the compatibility component intercepting an I/O operation associated with the guest OS, the compatibility component processes the I/O operation using a virtualization feature that is unsupported by the guest OS. Examples of the virtualization feature include accelerated access to a hardware device and virtual machine guest confidentiality.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Jin LIN, David Alan HEPKIN, Michael Bishop EBERSOL, Matthew David KURJANOWICZ, Aditya BHANDARI, Attilio MAINETTI, Amy Anthony PARISH

Publication number: 20240104193Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for direct assignment of physical devices to confidential virtual machines (VMs). At a first guest privilege context of a guest partition, a direct assignment of a physical device associated with a host computer system to the guest partition is identified. The guest partition includes the first guest privilege context and a second guest privilege context, which is restricted from accessing memory associated with the first guest privilege context. The guest partition corresponds to a confidential VM, such that a memory region associated with the guest partition is inaccessible to a host operating system. It is determined, based on a policy, that the physical device is allowed to be directly assigned to the guest partition. Communication between the physical device and the second guest privilege context is permitted, such as by exposing the physical device on a virtual bus and/or forwarding an interrupt.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Jin LIN, Jason Stewart WOHLGEMUTH, Michael Bishop EBERSOL, Aditya BHANDARI, Steven Adrian WEST, Emily Cara CLEMENS, Michael Halstead KELLEY, Dexuan CUI, Attilio MAINETTI, Sarah Elizabeth STEPHENSON, Carolina Cecilia PEREZ-VARGAS, Antoine Jean Denis DELIGNAT-LAVAUD, Kapil VASWANI, Alexander Daniel GREST, Steve Michel PRONOVOST, David Alan HEPKIN
