Subject: [PATCH 0/5] KVM: nVMX: Support loading MSRs before nested state
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2022 21:58:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220614215831.3762138-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Fix two edge cases in nested VM-Enter where KVM loads garbage into
BNDCFGS and/or DEBUGCTL when migrating a vCPU with L2 active. If userspace
restores MSRs before nested state, userspace expects KVM to propagate L2's
values to vmcs02. KVM already mostly handles this scenario, so even though
I personally think it's rather ridiculous, it's easy for KVM to support,
and given that our VMM does KVM_SET_MSRS before KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE...
Patches 4 and 5 are minor optimizations to handle BNDCFGS more like
DEBUGCTL and/or the PKS MSR.
Sean Christopherson (5):
KVM: nVMX: Snapshot pre-VM-Enter BNDCFGS for !nested_run_pending case
KVM: nVMX: Snapshot pre-VM-Enter DEBUGCTL for !nested_run_pending case
KVM: nVMX: Rename nested.vmcs01_* fields to nested.pre_vmenter_*
KVM: nVMX: Save BNDCFGS to vmcs12 iff relevant controls are exposed to
L1
KVM: nVMX: Update vmcs12 on BNDCFGS write, not at vmcs02=>vmcs12 sync
