From: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 15:07:31 +0100 Subject: x86/paravirt: Provide a way to check for hypervisors
From: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de
commit 79cc74155218316b9a5d28577c7077b2adba8e58 upstream.
There is no generic way to test whether a kernel is running on a specific hypervisor. But that's required to prevent the upcoming user address space separation feature in certain guest modes.
Make the hypervisor type enum unconditionally available and provide a helper function which allows to test for a specific type.
