Subject: [PATCH kernel 9/9] KVM: SVM: Don't try to pointlessly single-step SEV-ES guests for NMI window
Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2023 16:37:57 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230615063757.3039121-10-aik@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230615063757.3039121-1-aik@amd.com>

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

Bail early from svm_enable_nmi_window() for SEV-ES guests without trying
to enable single-step of the guest, as single-stepping an SEV-ES guest is
impossible and the guest is responsible for *telling* KVM when it is ready
for an new NMI to be injected.

Functionally, setting TF and RF in svm->vmcb->save.rflags is benign as the
field is ignored by hardware, but it's all kinds of confusing.

[aik: removed the clause about "KVM suppresses EFER.SVME (see efer_trap())"]
