Subject: [PATCH v2 06/13] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for event_inj
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 22:29:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110222922.613224-7-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251110222922.613224-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>

According to the APM Volume #2, 15.20 (24593—Rev. 3.42—March 2024):

  VMRUN exits with VMEXIT_INVALID error code if either:
  • Reserved values of TYPE have been specified, or
  • TYPE = 3 (exception) has been specified with a vector that does not
    correspond to an exception (this includes vector 2, which is an NMI,
    not an exception).

Add the missing consistency checks to KVM. For the second point, inject
VMEXIT_INVALID if the vector is anything but the vectors defined by the
APM for exceptions. Reserved vectors are also considered invalid, which
matches the HW behavior. Vector 9 (i.e. #CSO) is considered invalid
because it is reserved on modern CPUs, and according to LLMs no CPUs
exist supporting SVM and producing #CSOs.

Defined exceptions could be different between virtual CPUs as new CPUs
define new vectors. In a best effort to dynamically define the valid
vectors, make all currently defined vectors as valid except those
obviously tied to a CPU feature: SHSTK -> #CP and SEV-ES -> #VC. As new
vectors are defined, they can similarly be tied to corresponding CPU
features.

Invalid vectors on specific (e.g. old) CPUs that are missed by KVM
should be rejected by HW anyway.
