Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: nVMX: Do eVMCS consistency check on secondary controls iff they're enable
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 11:07:32 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105190733.3741959-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105190733.3741959-1-seanjc@google.com>
Check that the secondary execution controls are actually enabled before
performing eVMCS-specific consistency checks, as the secondary controls are
supposed to be completely ignored if they're not enabled. Per the SDM:
If the "activate secondary controls" primary processor-based VM-execution
control is 0 (or if the processor does not support the 1-setting of that
control), no checks are performed on the secondary processor-based
VM-execution controls. The logical processor operates as if all the
secondary processor-based VM-execution controls were 0.
Fixes: a83502314ce3 ("x86/kvm/hyper-v: don't allow to turn on unsupported VMX controls for nested guests")
