Subject: [PATCH v7 11/26] KVM: nSVM: Clear EVENTINJ fields in vmcb12 on nested #VMEXIT
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 00:34:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303003421.2185681-12-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303003421.2185681-1-yosry@kernel.org>
According to the APM, from the reference of the VMRUN instruction:
Upon #VMEXIT, the processor performs the following actions in
order to return to the host execution context:
...
clear EVENTINJ field in VMCB
KVM syncs EVENTINJ fields from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 on every L2->L0
#VMEXIT. Since these fields are zeroed by the CPU on #VMEXIT, they will
mostly be zeroed in vmcb12 on nested #VMEXIT by nested_svm_vmexit().
However, this is not the case when:
1. Consistency checks fail, as nested_svm_vmexit() is not called.
2. Entering guest mode fails before L2 runs (e.g. due to failed load of
CR3).
(2) was broken by commit 2d8a42be0e2b ("KVM: nSVM: synchronize VMCB
controls updated by the processor on every vmexit"), as prior to that
nested_svm_vmexit() always zeroed EVENTINJ fields.
Explicitly clear the fields all nested #VMEXIT code paths.
Fixes: 3d6368ef580a ("KVM: SVM: Add VMRUN handler")
Fixes: 2d8a42be0e2b ("KVM: nSVM: synchronize VMCB controls updated by the processor on every vmexit")
