PROFILE
Neeraj Upadhyay
Developed Secure AVIC support for SEV-SNP guests in the torvalds/linux repository, focusing on robust APIC virtualization and secure guest interaction. The work involved implementing a dedicated AVIC driver in C, managing APIC backing page initialization, and setting up APIC ID and vector management to support advanced interrupt handling. Integrated support for IPI, NMI, and LAPIC timer events, along with EOI handling and MSR interception, to enforce Secure AVIC policies. Enhanced system architecture by enabling kexec readiness and explicit guest capability signaling, ensuring production stability. Demonstrated expertise in kernel development, low-level programming, and virtualization on x86 architecture.
