Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: nVMX: Consult only the "basic" exit reason when routing nested exit
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 12:18:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200608191857.30319-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)
Consult only the basic exit reason, i.e. bits 15:0 of vmcs.EXIT_REASON,
when determining whether a nested VM-Exit should be reflected into L1 or
handled by KVM in L0.
For better or worse, the switch statements nested_vmx_l0_wants_exit()
and nested_vmx_l1_wants_exit() default to reflecting the VM-Exit into L1
for any nested VM-Exit without dedicated logic. Because the case
statements only contain the basic exit reason, any VM-Exit with modifier
bits set will be reflected to L1, even if KVM intended to handle it in
L0.
Practically speaking, this only affects EXIT_REASON_MCE_DURING_VMENTRY,
i.e. a #MC that occurs on nested VM-Enter would be incorrectly routed to
L1, as "failed VM-Entry" is the only modifier that KVM can currently
encounter. The SMM modifiers will never be generated as KVM doesn't
support/employ a SMI Transfer Monitor. Ditto for "exit from enclave",
as KVM doesn't yet support virtualizing SGX, i.e. it's impossible to
enter an enclave in a KVM guest (L1 or L2).
Note, the original version of this fix[*] is functionally equivalent and
far more suited to backporting as the affected code was refactored since
the original patch was posted.

Another wounded soldier.
Oliver, Krish, and Miaohe all provided reviews for v1, but I didn't feel
comfortable adding the tags to v2 because this is far from a straight
rebase.
v2: Rebased to kvm/queue, commit fb7333dfd812 ("KVM: SVM: fix calls ...").
