Subject: [PATCH v6 21/31] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for EFER, CR0, CR4, and CS
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:33:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224223405.3270433-22-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224223405.3270433-1-yosry@kernel.org>

According to the APM Volume #2, 15.5, Canonicalization and Consistency
Checks (24593—Rev. 3.42—March 2024), the following condition (among
others) results in a #VMEXIT with VMEXIT_INVALID (aka SVM_EXIT_ERR):

  EFER.LME, CR0.PG, CR4.PAE, CS.L, and CS.D are all non-zero.

Add the missing consistency check. This is functionally a nop because
the nested VMRUN results in SVM_EXIT_ERR in HW, which is forwarded to
L1, but KVM makes all consistency checks before a VMRUN is actually
attempted.

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