Subject: [PATCH 00/11] KVM: fix issues with stale control fields
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 01:32:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926053253.195597-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)

Fix two bugs where the guest could do stupid things on purpose to
cause problems in the host.

Patches 1-5 cover cases where actions done through VMCB control fields
have to be redone if VMRUN fails.  In particular, failed VMRUNs can
cause pending TLB flushes to be dropped.

Patch 6 fixes a case where eVMCS execution controls can cause the
host to use a stale MSR permission bitmap.  Patches 7-11 are tests
for nested x2APIC; don't run them on an unpatched kernel.

  KVM: SVM: Preserve TLB control (i.e. pending TLB flush) on failed
    VMRUN
  KVM: SVM: Update control fields on #VMEXIT if and only if VMRUN
    succeeded
  KVM: SVM: Don't mark ASID fields as dirty when setting control.tlb_ctl
  KVM: SVM: Sync guest's PERF_CNTR_GLOBAL_CTL from h/w only on
    successful VMRUN
  KVM: SVM: Use the active VMCB's MSR bitmap when checking if MSR is
    intercepted
  KVM: nVMX: Force MSR bitmap refresh if runtime eVMCS controls are
    modified
  KVM: selftests: Add x2APIC MSR test for inhibiting APICv while nested
  KVM: selftests: Run the nested x2APIC with and without APICv being
    inhibited in L2
  KVM: selftests: Verify that L0's TPR doesn't get clobbered
  KVM: selftests: Extend nested x2APIC test to validate disabling x2APIC
    virt
  KVM: selftests: Extend nested x2APIC test to validate using eVMCS for
    vmcs12
