Subject: [PATCH v5 17/26] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for nCR3 validity
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 19:08:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206190851.860662-18-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206190851.860662-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>
From the APM Volume #2, 15.25.4 (24593—Rev. 3.42—March 2024):
When VMRUN is executed with nested paging enabled
(NP_ENABLE = 1), the following conditions are considered illegal
state combinations, in addition to those mentioned in
“Canonicalization and Consistency Checks”:
• Any MBZ bit of nCR3 is set.
• Any G_PAT.PA field has an unsupported type encoding or any
reserved field in G_PAT has a nonzero value.
Add the consistency check for nCR3 being a legal GPA with no MBZ bits
set. The G_PAT.PA check was proposed separately [*].

Fixes: 4b16184c1cca ("KVM: SVM: Initialize Nested Nested MMU context on VMRUN")
