Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] KVM: x86: nSVM: Add validity check for vmcb12 g_pat
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 15:21:42 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115232154.3021475-4-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260115232154.3021475-1-jmattson@google.com>

Add a validity check for g_pat, so that when nested paging is enabled for
vmcb12, an invalid g_pat causes an immediate VMEXIT with exit code
VMEXIT_INVALID, as specified in the APM, volume 2: "Nested Paging and
VMRUN/VMEXIT."

Update the signature of __nested_vmcb_check_save() to include a pointer to
a struct vmcb_ctrl_area_cached, since the g_pat validity check depend on
the nested paging control bit.

Fixes: 3d6368ef580a ("KVM: SVM: Add VMRUN handler")
