Subject: [PATCH v5 00/12] KVM: x86: Bus Lock Detect fixes and SVM support
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 18:13:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930011313.3197688-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Fix KVM's handling of DR6.BLD, and add support for virtualizing BLD on SVM.
KUT tests: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260925230003.2362261-1-seanjc@google.com
v5:
- Fix the DR6.BLD clobbering bug Sashiko pointed out. [Sashiko]
- Force-set fixed-1 bits after synchronizing DR6 from the guest (because the
guest could set bits that are supposed to be fixed-1 due to virtualization
holes).
- Open code nested_vmcb12_has_lbrv().
- Fix the Author for Ravi's patch.
- Add svm_need_lbr_virtualization() to preserve short-circuit logic.
- Rename kvm_dr6_fixed() to kvm_get_dr6_fixed_1().
- Invert svm_get_debugctl_reserved_bits() into svm_get_supported_debugctl()
to match VMX, and KVM's preferred style.
v4:
* Rename nested_vmcb12_has_lbrv() to nested_lbrv_enabled() (Yosry).
* Drop the redundant !lbrv check and the extra comment (Yosry).
* Spell out in the changelog what breaks when DR6_BUS_LOCK is forced to 1
(Nikunj).
* Make it a pure NFC macro-to-helper conversion, and move the
BUS_LOCK_DETECT gating to patch 5 (Nikunj).
* Fold in the DEBUGCTLMSR_BUS_LOCK_DETECT gating moved from patch 4.
* Collect Reviewed-by tags.
v3:
* https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260709082953.69434-1-shivansh.dhiman@amd.com
* Reworked the single v2 patch into a prep series (patches 1-4) plus the
feature.
* Rewrite svm_update_lbrv() as 'if' statements so the BLD LBRV
dependency can be added cleanly (Yosry Ahmed).
* Sanitize V_LBR in the nested control cache like NP/GMET and drop the
redundant X86_FEATURE_LBRV checks (Yosry Ahmed).
* Use kvm_dr6_fixed() for nested DR6 instead of DR6_FIXED_1 | DR6_RTM.
* Compute DEBUGCTL reserved bits per-vCPU, gating BUS_LOCK_DETECT on
guest CPUID rather than a static macro.
v2:
* https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260629081018.60618-1-shivansh.dhiman@amd.com
* Rebased on kvm-x86-next-2026.06.24.
* Used guest_cpu_cap_has() instead of guest_cpuid_has().

KVM: x86: Preserve DR6.BLD (Bus Lock Detect) when delivering #DB
payload
