Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] KVM: SVM: Move RAX legality check to SVM insn interception handlers
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:10:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313001024.136619-4-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313001024.136619-1-yosry@kernel.org>

When #GP is intercepted by KVM, the #GP interception handler checks
whether the GPA in RAX is legal and reinjects the #GP accordingly.
Otherwise, it calls into the appropriate interception handler for
VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE. The intercept handlers do not check RAX.

However, according to the APM, the interception takes precedence
over #GP due to an invalid operand:

  Generally, instruction intercepts are checked after simple exceptions
  (such as #GP—when CPL is incorrect—or #UD) have been checked, but
  before exceptions related to memory accesses (such as page faults) and
  exceptions based on specific operand values.

Move the check into the interception handlers for VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE as
the CPU does not check RAX before the interception.

Opportunisitically make the non-SVM insn path in gp_interception() do an
early return to reduce intendation.
