Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] KVM: nSVM: Fix vmcb12 mapping failure handling
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 21:08:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306210900.1933788-1-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
Jim pointed out that VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE injecting a #GP when the vmcb12
GPA is valid but not mappable is not architectural [1]. The series
handles them as emulation failures and (mostly) exits to userspace
instead.
With vls=1, a VMSAVE/VMLOAD with an unmappable GPA will cause a #NPF and
be emulated. The emulator currently hardcodes the GPA check to 48 valid
bits and injects a #GP otherwise. Fix this to only inject a #GP if the
GPA actually exceeds maxphyaddr, and otherwise fail the emulation as
well.
Rework svm_nested_invalid_vmcb12_gpa to fix the fact that it's currently
testing #GP on VMLOAD instead of VMRUN, and extend it to test all of
VMRUN, VMLOAD, and VMSAVE in both cases of GPA > maxphyaddr and GPA <
maxphyaddr but unmappable. Finally rename it to make its name a bit more
generic and representative.
This is not strictly a v2, but it supersedes the series at [2].
