This is a backport of the CR0.WP KVM series[1] to Linux v6.1, pretty much the same as for v6.2. I used 'ssdd 10 50000' from rt-tests[2] as a micro-benchmark, running on a grsecurity L1 VM. Below table shows the results (runtime in seconds, lower is better): legacy TDP shadow Linux v6.1.23 7.65s 8.23s 68.7s + patches 3.36s 3.36s 69.1s The KVM unit test suite showed no regressions. Please consider applying.
