Subject: [PATCH v7 16/26] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for EFER, CR0, CR4, and CS
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 00:34:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303003421.2185681-17-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303003421.2185681-1-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.
In the list of consistency checks done when EFER.LME and CR0.PG are set,
add a check that CS.L and CS.D are not both set, after the existing
check that CR4.PAE is set.
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")
