Subject: [PATCH v4 00/17] KVM: nVMX: Adjust VMPTRLD/VMPTRST behavior with active eVMCS
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 17:24:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904002423.3154436-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
The first four patches are Vitaly's series to adjust KVM's emulation of
VMPTRLD/VMPTRST when the vCPU has an active eVMCS to match Hyper-V, and more
importantly to not put the vCPU into an infinite loop.
The churn piled on top came from wanting to use KVM_ASM_SAFE() for more VMX
instructions to verify the RFLAGS bug+fix Sashiko pointed out, lack impulse
control when it comes to cleanups, and Yosry being a bad/good influence.
v4:
- Redo the VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME handling, dedup eVMCS as well. [Yosry]
- Give vmread() and vmwrite() the same treatment. [Yosry]
- Drop pointless returns from eVMCS setup.
v3:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260826233919.998904-1-seanjc@google.com
- MOAR PATCHES.
v2:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260818165258.2613603-1-vkuznets@redhat.com
- Fix build when !CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV [Sashiko]
- Drop now-unneeded evmcs_vmptrst() [Sashiko]
- Avoid hardcoding VMPTRLD insn length in hyperv_evmcs [Sashiko], use
KVM_ASM_SAFE framework instead [Sean]
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260814162221.2144473-1-vkuznets@redhat.com
Sean Christopherson (13):
KVM: selftests: Don't clobber RFLAGS in happy path of __KVM_ASM_SAFE()
KVM: selftests: Assert success in vmptrst(), kill off vmptrstz()
KVM: selftests: Always assert that vmxon() and
prepare_for_vmx_operation() succeed
KVM: selftests: Always assert that vmclear() succeeds
KVM: selftests: Always assert that vmptrld() succeeds
KVM: selftests: Drop useless return code from load_vmcs()
KVM: selftests: Add macros to handle simple VMX instructions
KVM: selftests: Drop dead return code from evmcs_vmptrld() and
load_evmcs()
KVM: selftests: Dedup assembly code for VMLAUNCH and VMRESUME
KVM: selftests: Assert success in vmlaunch() and vmresume()
KVM: selftests: Add __vmwrite() and use it when initializing optional
fields.
KVM: selftests: Always assert that vmwrite() succeeds
KVM: selftests: Always assert that vmreadz() succeeds
Vitaly Kuznetsov (4):
KVM: nVMX: Make VMPTRLD result in #UD when eVMCS is used
KVM: nVMX: Make VMPTRST return eVMCS GPA when it is used
KVM: selftests: Adapt to the updated VMPTRST behavior when eVMCS is
used
KVM: selftests: Check VMPTRLD with active eVMCS
