Subject: [PATCH v3 2/7] KVM: SVM: Check that RAX has legal GPA on #GP interception of SVM insns
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:10:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313001024.136619-3-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313001024.136619-1-yosry@kernel.org>
KVM intercepts #GP when EFER.SVME is set if the CPU does not have
X86_FEATURE_SVME_ADDR_CHK to work around an erratum where some CPUs
check EAX against reserved memory regions. KVM re-injects the #GP if an
SVM instruction was executed with mis-aligned RAX, and it otherwise
emulates it.
However, a #GP should also be reinjected if RAX contains an illegal GPA,
according to the APM, one of #GP conditions is:
rAX referenced a physical address above the maximum
supported physical address.
Replace the PAGE_MASK check with page_address_valid(), which checks both
page-alignment as well as the legality of the GPA based on the vCPU's
MAXPHYADDR.
Note that this is currently not a problem, because kvm_vcpu_map() should
fail on illegal GPAs and inject a #GP anyway. However, following patches
will change the failure behavior of kvm_vcpu_map(), so make sure the #GP
interception handler does this appropriately.
Fixes: 82a11e9c6fa2 ("KVM: SVM: Add emulation support for #GP triggered by SVM instructions")
Fixes: d1cba6c92237 ("KVM: x86: nSVM: test eax for 4K alignment for GP errata workaround")
