According to the SDM, if the "load IA32_BNDCFGS" VM-entry controls is 1,
the
following checks are performed on the field for the IA32_BNDCFGS MSR:
   - Bits reserved in the IA32_BNDCFGS MSR must be 0.
   - The linear address in bits 63:12 must be canonical.

Hi Wanpeng,
   The SDM check is performed only when "load IA32_BNDCFGS" VM-entry control
is 1. But vmx_mpx_supported() returns true when both "load IA32_BNDCFGS" and
"store IA32_BNDCFGS" VM-entry controls are 1. Therefore your check is
performed when both controls are 1. Did I miss something here ?
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/2/748 Paolo hopes the simplification.

Regards,
Wanpeng Li
I got that simplification and your changes look good to me.


However, I am still curious know the reason why vmx_mpx_supported() returns true only when both controls are true whereas the SDM states the following:

"IA32_BNDCFGS (64 bits). This field is supported only on processors that support either the 1-setting of the “load IA32_BNDCFGS” VM-entry control or that of the “clear IA32_BNDCFGS” VM-exit control."

Thanks,
Krish
