Subject: [PATCH v13 05/21] KVM: x86: Load guest FPU state when access XSAVE-managed MSRs
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 06:30:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821133132.72322-6-chao.gao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250821133132.72322-1-chao.gao@intel.com>
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Load the guest's FPU state if userspace is accessing MSRs whose values
are managed by XSAVES. Introduce two helpers, kvm_{get,set}_xstate_msr(),
to facilitate access to such kind of MSRs.
If MSRs supported in kvm_caps.supported_xss are passed through to guest,
the guest MSRs are swapped with host's before vCPU exits to userspace and
after it reenters kernel before next VM-entry.
Because the modified code is also used for the KVM_GET_MSRS device ioctl(),
explicitly check @vcpu is non-null before attempting to load guest state.
The XSAVE-managed MSRs cannot be retrieved via the device ioctl() without
loading guest FPU state (which doesn't exist).
Note that guest_cpuid_has() is not queried as host userspace is allowed to
access MSRs that have not been exposed to the guest, e.g. it might do
KVM_SET_MSRS prior to KVM_SET_CPUID2.
The two helpers are put here in order to manifest accessing xsave-managed
MSRs requires special check and handling to guarantee the correctness of
read/write to the MSRs.
