Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] KVM: SVM: GIF and EFER.SVME are independent
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 20:47:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121204803.991707-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
Clearing EFER.SVME is not architected to set GIF, so GIF may be clear
even when EFER.SVME is clear.
This is covered in the discussion at [1].
v2 -> v3:
- Keep setting GIF when force-leaving nested (Sean).
- Moved the relevant selftests patches from the series at [2] here
(Sean).
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20251009223153.3344555-1-jmattson@google.com/

Jim Mattson (2):
KVM: SVM: Allow KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE to clear GIF when SVME==0
KVM: SVM: Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME
Yosry Ahmed (2):
KVM: selftests: Use TEST_ASSERT_EQ() in test_vmx_nested_state()
KVM: selftests: Extend vmx_set_nested_state_test to cover SVM
