Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 25/27] KVM: SVM: Do not inject exceptions for Secure AVIC
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 12:02:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c1cd9082c081dcf87fd71c68a0554da4fa5231de.1783490022.git.naveen@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1783490022.git.naveen@kernel.org>
From: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kvijayab@amd.com>
In Secure AVIC mode, EVENTINJ in the VMCB is ignored which means
there is no way to inject exceptions from KVM. Return early from
svm_inject_exception() for a Secure AVIC enabled guest.
Note that exceptions generated within the guest themselves are still
handled properly if intercepted (e.g., INTR just before a guest
exception), since those are saved in the VMSA EVENTINJ field and
processed by the hardware.
