Subject: [PATCH 0/6] KVM: SVM: LBR virtualization fixes
Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2025 00:45:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251108004524.1600006-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
This series fixes multiple problems with LBR virtualization, including a
fun problem that leads to L1 reading the host's LBR MSRs. It also
considerably simplifies the code.
The series has a selftest in the end that verifies that save/restore
work correctly. I will send a couple of new kvm-unit-tests separately
that exercise the bugs fixed by patches 2 & 3.
Yosry Ahmed (6):
KVM: SVM: Mark VMCB_LBR dirty when MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is updated
KVM: nSVM: Always recalculate LBR MSR intercepts in svm_update_lbrv()
KVM: nSVM: Fix and simplify LBR virtualization handling with nested
KVM: SVM: Switch svm_copy_lbrs() to a macro
KVM: SVM: Add missing save/restore handling of LBR MSRs
KVM: selftests: Add a test for LBR save/restore (ft. nested)
