AMD Hypervisor with Rust - Matthias Heiden - Rust Linz, October 2022
AMD Hypervisor built with Rust, featuring static assertions, custom allocators, and MSR bitmap for secure multi-level virtualization and virtualization-based security.
- AMD Hypervisor with Rust
- Static assertions
- Timed attacks can reveal running inside a virtual machine
- Custom allocators and virtual memory management
- MSR bitmap for intercepting hardware requests
- Nested page tables for multi-level virtualization
- Hypervisor debugging is painful
- Use of static assertions and error handling
- Importance of carefully crafting structures and data types
- Use of bit fields and flags for flexible data representation
- Implementing a virtual memory allocator
- Virtualization-based security
- Importance of good documentation, e.g., Intel or MD manual
- Rust is a suitable language for hypervisor development
