Subject: [PATCH 11/11] KVM: x86: Harden is_64_bit_hypercall() against bugs on 32-bit kernels
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 16:56:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409235622.2052730-12-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409235622.2052730-1-seanjc@google.com>
Unconditionally return %false for is_64_bit_hypercall() on 32-bit kernels
to guard against incorrectly setting guest_state_protected, and because
in a (very) hypothetical world where 32-bit KVM supports protected guests,
assuming a hypercall was made in 64-bit mode is flat out wrong.
