Hello Sean Christopherson, The patch 2bb8cafea80b: "KVM: vVMX: signal failure for nested VMEntry if emulation_required" from Mar 12, 2018, leads to the following static checker warning: arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c:11199 enter_vmx_non_root_mode() error: uninitialized symbol 'exit_qual'. arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c 11180 static int enter_vmx_non_root_mode(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, bool from_vmentry) 11181 { 11182 struct vcpu_vmx *vmx = to_vmx(vcpu); 11183 struct vmcs12 *vmcs12 = get_vmcs12(vcpu); 11184 u32 msr_entry_idx; 11185 u32 exit_qual; 11186 11187 enter_guest_mode(vcpu); 11188 11189 if (!(vmcs12->vm_entry_controls & VM_ENTRY_LOAD_DEBUG_CONTROLS)) 11190 vmx->nested.vmcs01_debugctl = vmcs_read64(GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL); 11191 11192 vmx_switch_vmcs(vcpu, &vmx->nested.vmcs02); 11193 vmx_segment_cache_clear(vmx); 11194 11195 if (prepare_vmcs02(vcpu, vmcs12, from_vmentry, &exit_qual)) { prepare_vmcs02() returns 0 on success and 1 on failure. The patch introduces a new error path which doesn't set *entry_failure_code. 11196 leave_guest_mode(vcpu); 11197 vmx_switch_vmcs(vcpu, &vmx->vmcs01); 11198 nested_vmx_entry_failure(vcpu, vmcs12, 11199 EXIT_REASON_INVALID_STATE, exit_qual); 11200 return 1; 11201 } 11202 regards, dan carpenter
