Subject: [PATCH v2 02/10] KVM: selftests: Fix RAX and RFLAGS VMCB offsets when running L2
Date: Thu,  4 Jun 2026 20:35:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604203546.365658-3-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604203546.365658-1-yosry@kernel.org>

The offsets used (0x170 and 0x1f8) are offsets within vmcb_save_area,
not vmcb. The correct offsets should include the base of vmcb_save_area
within vmcb (which is 0x400 -- so 0x570 and 0x5f8).

Instead of just correcting the offsets, use vmcb->save.rax and
vmcb->save.rflags as parameters to the asm block and avoid hardcoding
offsets completely. While at it, also use guest_regs.rax directly
instead of assuming it's at offset 0 of guest_regs.

Note: "+m" must be used for vmcb_rax and vmcb_rflags, as caching those
fields in registers would be wrong as the underlying KVM will update
them in memory.

The same problem was recently fixed (differently) for kvm-unit-tests
[1].
