Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 0/6] KVM: x86: CPUID faulting fixes and AMD CPUID faulting virtualization
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 21:28:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014212844.11997-1-aaltinay@google.com> (raw)

Please backport the following 6 upstream commits to the 6.18.y stable tree:

1. 690dc03859e7 ("KVM: x86: Ignore cpuid faulting in SMM") [v7.1-rc1]
2. cf7d65d1d6f5 ("KVM: x86: Consolidate CPUID fault handling for emulator and interception logic") [v7.2-rc1]
3. be7fd7c3e8bc ("KVM: x86: Prioritize CPUID faulting over CPUID VM-exits in nested VMX") [v7.2-rc1]
4. d1bc99885a59 ("KVM: x86: Remove supports_cpuid_fault() helper") [v7.2-rc1]
5. e93a93f11490 ("KVM: x86: Virtualize AMD CPUID faulting") [v7.2-rc1]
6. b16c2aca369d ("KVM: selftests: Update hwcr_msr_test for CPUID faulting bit") [v7.2-rc1]

Patches 1 and 3 fix bugs in KVM's CPUID faulting virtualization (Fixes:
db2336a80489 ("KVM: x86: virtualize cpuid faulting")), ensuring that
CPUID does not fault in SMM and that CPUID faulting takes precedence
over CPUID VM-exits in nested VMX. Patch 2 is a non-functional refactoring
prerequisite for patch 3.

Patches 4-6 extend KVM's CPUID faulting virtualization (already supported
by KVM on Intel CPUs and by 6.18 host kernels on AMD CPUs via 65f55a301766
("x86/CPU/AMD: Add CPUID faulting support")) to AMD guests via
CPUID.80000021H:EAX.CpuidUserDis[bit 17] and HWCR.CpuidUserDis[bit 35],
allowing guests and container runtimes that rely on arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_CPUID)
to work uniformly across Intel and AMD KVM hosts, along with the
corresponding KVM selftest update.

All patches cherry-pick cleanly to 6.18.y except for a minor context
conflict in patch 2 (arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h) and a u64 vs.
uint64_t type adjustment in patch 6 (tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86/hwcr_msr_test.c).
