Subject: [PATCH v5 19/26] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for EFER, CR0, CR4, and CS
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 19:08:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206190851.860662-20-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206190851.860662-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>
According to the APM Volume #2, 15.5, Canonicalization and Consistency
Checks (24593—Rev. 3.42—March 2024), the following condition (among
others) results in a #VMEXIT with VMEXIT_INVALID (aka SVM_EXIT_ERR):
EFER.LME, CR0.PG, CR4.PAE, CS.L, and CS.D are all non-zero.
Add the missing consistency check. This is functionally a nop because
the nested VMRUN results in SVM_EXIT_ERR in HW, which is forwarded to
L1, but KVM makes all consistency checks before a VMRUN is actually
attempted.
Fixes: 3d6368ef580a ("KVM: SVM: Add VMRUN handler")
