In nested SVM, L1 can configure vmcb12->control.event_inj with SVM_EVTINJ_VALID cleared while leaving non-zero vector, type, or error-code-valid bits in bits 30:0. nested_svm_check_event_inj() accepts this, __nested_copy_vmcb_control_to_cache() preserves the non-reserved bits, and nested_vmcb02_prepare_control() copies vmcb12_ctrl->event_inj into vmcb02->control.event_inj: arch/x86/kvm/svm/nested.c:nested_svm_check_event_inj() { if (!(event_inj & SVM_EVTINJ_VALID)) return true; ... } arch/x86/kvm/svm/nested.c:__nested_copy_vmcb_control_to_cache() { ... to->event_inj =3D from->event_inj & ~SVM_EVTINJ_RESERVED_BITS; to->event_inj_err =3D from->event_inj_err; } arch/x86/kvm/svm/nested.c:nested_vmcb02_prepare_control() { ... vmcb02->control.event_inj =3D vmcb12_ctrl->event_inj; vmcb02->control.event_inj_err =3D vmcb12_ctrl->event_inj_err; ... } When SVM_EVTINJ_VALID is 0, VMRUN ignores EVENTINJ without clearing it and enters L2 normally. On the subsequent #VMEXIT from L2, if (control->event_inj) evaluates to true and overwrites control->exit_int_info and exitintinfo with the invalid event_inj value (where SVM_EXITINTINFO_VALID is 0). If L2 exited while vectoring an event, the valid exit_int_info populated by hardware is clobbered and svm_complete_interrupts() returns early at if (!(exitintinfo & SVM_EXITINTINFO_VALID)), dropping the L2 event. In addition, if the invalid event_inj has non-zero SVM_EXITINTINFO_TYPE_MASK bits and L2 exits with an #NPF that requires instruction emulation, svm_check_emulate_instruction() inspects control->exit_int_info without checking SVM_EXITINTINFO_VALID: arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c:svm_check_emulate_instruction() { ... if ((svm->vmcb->control.exit_int_info & SVM_EXITINTINFO_TYPE_MASK) && !kvm_can_emulate_event_vectoring(emul_type)) return X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE_VECTORING; ... } causing #NPF emulation to fail with X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE_VECTORING. [Severity: Medium] Also, by overwriting control->exit_int_info and zeroing control->event_inj = in the VMCB during svm_complete_interrupts(), won't subsequent exit handling in svm_handle_exit() observe mutated VMCB fields? In svm_vcpu_run(), trace_kvm_exit() runs before svm_complete_interrupts(), while svm_handle_exit() runs afterward in vcpu_enter_guest(): arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c:svm_handle_exit() { ... if (is_guest_mode(vcpu)) { int vmexit; trace_kvm_nested_vmexit(vcpu, KVM_ISA_SVM); ... } if (svm_is_vmrun_failure(svm->vmcb->control.exit_code)) { kvm_run->exit_reason =3D KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY; kvm_run->fail_entry.hardware_entry_failure_reason =3D svm->vmcb->control.exit_code; kvm_run->fail_entry.cpu =3D vcpu->arch.last_vmentry_cpu; dump_vmcb(vcpu); return 0; } ... } When VMRUN fails with SVM_EXIT_ERR (for example, due to an invalid control->event_inj configuration) or hits an unexpected exit while an event is staged in control->event_inj, dump_vmcb() will log 0 for event_inj and print the staged event_inj under exit_int_info, hiding the event_inj value that was present at VMRUN. Similarly, for nested exits, trace_kvm_nested_vmexit() will record the migrated exit_int_info, disagreei= ng with trace_kvm_exit() for the same exit. Would it be better to read control->event_inj and control->event_inj_err in= to local variables in svm_complete_interrupts() (while clearing control->event_inj) instead of writing them into control->exit_int_info and control->exit_int_info_err in the VMCB?
