If the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control is set in the
VMCS, the APIC virtualization hardware is triggered when a page walk
in VMX non-root mode terminates at a PTE wherein the address of the 4k
page frame matches the APIC-access address specified in the VMCS. On
hardware, the APIC-access address may be any valid 4k-aligned physical
address.
KVM's nVMX implementation enforces the additional constraint that the
APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12 must be backed by
cacheable memory in L1. If not, L0 will simply clear the "virtualize
APIC accesses" VM-execution control in the vmcs02.
The problem with this approach is that the L1 guest has arranged the
vmcs12 EPT tables--or shadow page tables, if the "enable EPT"
VM-execution control is clear in the vmcs12--so that the L2 guest
physical address(es)--or L2 guest linear address(es)--that reference
the L2 APIC map to the APIC-access address specified in the
vmcs12. Without the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control in
the vmcs02, the APIC accesses in the L2 guest will directly access the
APIC-access page in L1.
When L0 has no mapping whatsoever for the APIC-access address in L1,
the L2 VM just loses the intended APIC virtualization. However, when
the L2 APIC-access address is mapped to an MMIO region in L1, the L2
guest gets direct access to the L1 MMIO device. For example, if the
APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12 is 0xfee00000, then L2
gets direct access to L1's APIC.
Fixing this correctly is complicated. Since this vmcs12 configuration
is something that KVM cannot faithfully emulate, the appropriate
response is to exit to userspace with
KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION. Sadly, the kvm-unit-tests fail, so I'm
posting this as an RFC.
Note that the 'Code' line emitted by qemu in response to this error
shows the guest %rip two instructions after the
vmlaunch/vmresume. Hmmm.
