Subject: [PATCH 1/9] KVM: nSVM: Clear exit_code_hi in VMCB when synthesizing nested VM-Exits
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 14:56:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113225621.1688428-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251113225621.1688428-1-seanjc@google.com>
Explicitly clear exit_code_hi in the VMCB when synthesizing "normal"
nested VM-Exits, as the full exit code is a 64-bit value (spoiler alert),
and all exit codes for non-failing VMRUN use only bits 31:0.
