Subject: [PATCH v3 00/13] KVM: nVMX: Adjust VMPTRLD/VMPTRST behavior with active eVMCS
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 16:39:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826233919.998904-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

Vitaly's series to adjust KVM's emulation of VMPTRLD/VMPTRST when the vCPU
has an active eVMCS to match Hyper-V, and more importantly to not put the
vCPU into an infinite loop.

The patches from Vitaly remain the same from v2.  The churn I piled on top
came from wanting to use KVM_ASM_SAFE() for more VMX instructions to verify
the RFLAGS bug+fix Sashiko pointed out, and I lack impulse control when it
comes to cleanups.

v3:
 - See above.

v2:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260818165258.2613603-1-vkuznets@redhat.com
 - Fix build when !CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV [Sashiko]
 - Drop now-unneeded evmcs_vmptrst() [Sashiko]
 - Avoid hardcoding VMPTRLD insn length in hyperv_evmcs [Sashiko], use
   KVM_ASM_SAFE framework instead [Sean]

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260814162221.2144473-1-vkuznets@redhat.com

Sean Christopherson (9):
  KVM: selftests: Don't clobber RFLAGS in happy path of __KVM_ASM_SAFE()
  KVM: selftests: Assert success in vmptrst(), kill off vmptrstz()
  KVM: selftests: Always assert that vmxon() and
    prepare_for_vmx_operation() succeed
  KVM: selftests: Always assert that vmclear() succeeds
  KVM: selftests: Always assert that vmptrld() succeeds
  KVM: selftests: Drop useless return code from load_vmcs()
  KVM: selftests: Add macros to handle simple VMX instructions
  KVM: selftests: Dedup assembly code for VMLAUNCH and VMRESUME
  KVM: selftests: Add and use double-underscore versions of vmlaunch()
    and vmresume()

Vitaly Kuznetsov (4):
  KVM: nVMX: Make VMPTRLD result in #UD when eVMCS is used
  KVM: nVMX: Make VMPTRST return eVMCS GPA when it is used
  KVM: selftests: Adapt to the updated VMPTRST behavior when eVMCS is
    used
  KVM: selftests: Check VMPTRLD with active eVMCS
