From 96bd3e76a171a8e21a6387e54e4c420a81968492 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yosry Ahmed Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 00:34:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for EFER, CR0, CR4, and CS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit According to the APM Volume #2, 15.5, Canonicalization and Consistency Checks (24593—Rev. 3.42—March 2024), the following condition (among others) results in a #VMEXIT with VMEXIT_INVALID (aka SVM_EXIT_ERR): EFER.LME, CR0.PG, CR4.PAE, CS.L, and CS.D are all non-zero. In the list of consistency checks done when EFER.LME and CR0.PG are set, add a check that CS.L and CS.D are not both set, after the existing check that CR4.PAE is set. This is functionally a nop because the nested VMRUN results in SVM_EXIT_ERR in HW, which is forwarded to L1, but KVM makes all consistency checks before a VMRUN is actually attempted.
