Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 23/27] KVM: SVM: Add support for injecting NMIs for Secure AVIC guests
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 12:02:21 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5b5b40831e8d823e08dfe73b3e07eef3d82ed76f.1783490022.git.naveen@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1783490022.git.naveen@kernel.org>
Secure AVIC relies on NMI virtualization for injecting NMIs into the
guest. Similar to V_GIF, set V_NMI_ENABLE_MASK in the BSP's VMSA as this
is consulted by hardware instead of the corresponding VMCB field.
Since EVENTINJ is not supported for Secure AVIC enabled guests, KVM can
accept/pend at most 1 NMI at any point. Use this as the limit in
process_nmi(). Add a WARN_ON() in svm_inject_nmi() since we should never
hit this path. Always return 1 for nmi_allowed() since KVM can pend an
NMI at any point and does not have visibility into the guest NMI
blocking status.
