Subject: KVM: nSVM: Check for NRIPS support before updating control field
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 15:18:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jpgr3ou9vc4.fsf@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit f104765b4f81fd74d69e0eb161e89096deade2db upstream.
This causes the L1 guest to crash when running a nested guest
with an AMD processor that doesn't support NRIPS.
If hardware doesn't support DecodeAssist - a feature that provides
more information about the intercept in the VMCB, KVM decodes the
instruction and then updates the next_rip vmcb control field.
However, NRIP support itself depends on cpuid Fn8000_000A_EDX[NRIPS].
Since skip_emulated_instruction() doesn't verify nrip support
before accepting control.next_rip as valid, avoid writing this
field if support isn't present.
