Subject: [PATCH v5 15/20] KVM: x86: Guard valid XCR0.APX settings
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 17:19:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720171949.498680-16-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720171949.498680-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

Prevent invalid XCR0.APX configurations in two cases: conflict with MPX
and lack of SVM support.

In the non-compacted XSAVE format, APX and MPX conflict on the same
offset. Although MPX is being deprecated in practice, KVM should
explicitly reject such configurations that set both bits.

At this point, only VMX supports EGPRs. SVM will require corresponding
extensions to handle EGPR indices.

Updating the supported XCR0 mask will be done separately.
