This is incorrect, VMCS.EXIT_REASON is not written on a VM-Fail.  If the
tests are passing, you're probably consuming a stale EXIT_REASON.

In vmx_vcpu_run(),

        if (vmx->fail || (vmx->exit_reason & VMX_EXIT_REASONS_FAILED_VMENTRY))
                return;

        vmx->loaded_vmcs->launched = 1;

we return without setting "launched" whenever bit# 31 is set in Exit Reason. If VM-entry fails due to invalid guest state or due to errors in VM-entry MSR-loading area, bit#31 is set.  As a result, L2 is not in "launched" state when we return to L1.  Tests that want to VMRESUME L2 after fixing the bad guest state or the bad MSR-loading area, fail with VM-Instruction Error 5,

        "Early vmresume failure: error number is 5. See Intel 30.4."


Whenever VM-entry
fails, the nested VMCS is not in "launched" state any more. Hence,
__enter_guest() should not set the "launched" state when a VM-entry fails.

Rather than duplicating the code in vmx_run(), what if we move this check
into vmx_enter_guest() and rework struct vmentry_failure?  The code was
originally designed to handle only VM-Fail conditions, we should clean it
up instead of bolting more stuff on top.  E.g.:

struct vmentry_status {
	/* Did we attempt VMLAUNCH or VMRESUME */
	bool vmlaunch;
	/* Instruction mnemonic (for convenience). */
	const char *instr;
	/* VM-Enter passed all consistency checks, i.e. did not fail. */
	bool succeeded;
	/* VM-Enter failed before loading guest state, i.e. VM-Fail. */
	bool vm_fail;
	/* Contents of RFLAGS on VM-Fail, EXIT_REASON on VM-Exit.  */
	union {
		unsigned long vm_fail_flags;
		unsigned long vm_exit_reason;
	};
};

static void vmx_enter_guest(struct vmentry_status *status)
{
	status->vm_fail = 0;

	in_guest = 1;
	asm volatile (
		"mov %[HOST_RSP], %%rdi\n\t"
		"vmwrite %%rsp, %%rdi\n\t"
		LOAD_GPR_C
		"cmpb $0, %[launched]\n\t"
		"jne 1f\n\t"
		"vmlaunch\n\t"
		"jmp 2f\n\t"
		"1: "
		"vmresume\n\t"
		"2: "
		SAVE_GPR_C
		"pushf\n\t"
		"pop %%rdi\n\t"
		"mov %%rdi, %[vm_fail_flags]\n\t"
		"movl $1, %[vm_fail]\n\t"
		"jmp 3f\n\t"
		"vmx_return:\n\t"
		SAVE_GPR_C
		"3: \n\t"
		: [vm_fail]"+m"(status->vm_fail),
		  [vm_fail_flags]"=m"(status->vm_fail_flags)
		: [launched]"m"(launched), [HOST_RSP]"i"(HOST_RSP)
		: "rdi", "memory", "cc"
	);
	in_guest = 0;

	if (!status->vm_fail)
		status->vm_exit_reason = vmcs_read(EXI_REASON);
		
	status->succeeded = !status->vm_fail &&
			    !(status->vm_exit_reason & VMX_ENTRY_FAILURE);

	status->vmlaunch = !launched;
	status->instr = launched ? "vmresume" : "vmlaunch";

	if (status->succeeded)
		launched = 1;
}


This looks good. Do you want to send a patch or you want me to add it to the current set ?



  	if ((abort_flag & ABORT_ON_EARLY_VMENTRY_FAIL && failure->early) ||
-	    (abort_flag & ABORT_ON_INVALID_GUEST_STATE &&
-	    vmcs_read(EXI_REASON) & VMX_ENTRY_FAILURE)) {
-
+	    (abort_flag & ABORT_ON_INVALID_GUEST_STATE && vm_entry_failure)) {
  		print_vmentry_failure_info(failure);
  		abort();
  	}
- if (!failure->early) {
+	if (!vm_entry_failure) {
  		launched = 1;
  		check_for_guest_termination();
  	}
