Subject: [PATCH 27/28] KVM: SVM: work around errata 1218
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:07:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430150747.76749-28-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430150747.76749-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
According to AMD, the hypervisor may not be able to determine whether a
fault was a GMET fault or an NX fault based on EXITINFO1, and software
"must read the relevant VMCB to determine whether a fault was a GMET
fault or an NX fault". The APM further details that they meant the
CPL field.
KVM uses the page fault error code to distinguish the causes of a
nested page fault, so recalculate the PFERR_USER_MASK bit of the
vmexit information. Only do it for fetches and only if GMET is in
use, because KVM does not differentiate based on PFERR_USER_MASK
for other nested NPT page faults.
