Subject: [PATCH 6.18 055/686] KVM: TDX: Set bits 31:16 to 0 and use UNDEFINED when synthesizing exit reason
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 10:43:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113153822.820115879@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113153820.902362109@linuxfoundation.org>
6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Xiaoyao Li <xiaoyao.li@intel.com>
[ Upstream commit b43c520b198ab70868307a489ef2117ed6d6c4cc ]
Set bits 31:16 to 0 instead of all-1s when synthesizing an exit reason,
e.g. if the TDX Module never attempted VM-Enter, or when stuffing the exit
reason due to an unexpected "real" EPT Misconfig. Opportunistically use
VMX's KVM-defined EXIT_REASON_UNDEFINED (0xdead) instead of -1u.
KVM is going to support Bus Lock VM exit for TDX, after which bit 26 of
the Exit Reason becomes meaningful and indicates that a bus lock happened.
The existing synthesized Exit Reason, -1u, will cause a false positive in
that case. Change the synthesized Exit Reason from -1u to U16_MAX, so that
bits 31:16 are set to 0. This also avoids the potential issues when other
bits in 31:16 become valid in the future.
As a bonus, the check for synthesized Exit Reason in tdx_failed_vmentry()
becomes unnecessary. Just drop it.
