nVMX x86: "external-interrupt exiting" must be set if "virtual-interrupt delivery" is set

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



According to section "Checks on VMX Controls" in Intel SDM vol 3C,
the following check needs to be enforced on vmentry of L2 guests:

  If the "virtual-interrupt delivery" VM-execution control is 1, the
  "external-interrupt exiting" VM-execution control must be 1.

KVM already has the necessary check in it, we just need a unit test. This
patch builds on top of my previous patch (that I sent out on this alias
earlier) in that the code in this patch uses the test_apic_ctls() function
that was added by the former.
