Gah, my bad, this isn't correct either. The minor issue is that it should check
vmx->nested.nested_run_pending, not just from_vmentry. If nested state is restored
and a VM-Entry is pending, then the MSRs that were saved+restore were L1's MSRs,
not L2's MSRs.
That won't cause problems because the consumption correctly checks nested_run_pending,
it's just confusing and an unnecessary VMREAD.
But that's a moot point because vmcs01 will not hold the correct value in the SMM
case. Luckily, BNDCFGS is easy to handle because it's unconditionally saved on
VM-Exit, which means that vmcs12 is guaranteed to hold the correct value for both
SMM and state restore (without pending entry) because the pseudo-VM-Exit for both
will always save vmcs02's value into vmcs12.
GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL is a much bigger pain because it's conditionally saved on
exit. I think the least awful approach would be to save L2's value into
vmcs01_debugctl prior to the forced exit in vmx_enter_smm(), but that will require
more changes to the state restore flow. Grr.
I'll send patches for both BNDCFGS and IA32_DEBUGCTL, and will take a careful look
at the PKS stuff too. I'm guessing it should follow the BNDCFGS logic.
Sorry for the runaround.
