Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for nCR3 validity
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
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. Note, the G_PAT.PA check is being handled separately[*].
