Don't the hardware checks on the corresponding vmcs02 fields suffice
in this case?
In prepare_vmcs02(), we have the following code:
if (vmx->nested.dirty_vmcs12 || hv_evmcs) {
prepare_vmcs02_rare(vmx, vmcs12);
If vmcs12 is dirty, we are setting these two fields from vmcs12 and I
thought the values needed to be checked in software. Did I miss something ?
Typically, "guest state" doesn't have to be checked in software, as
long as (a) the vmcs12 field is copied unmodified to the corresponding
vmcs02 field, and (b) the virtual CPU enforces the same constraints as
the physical CPU. In this case, if there is a problem with the guest
state, the VM-entry to vmcs02 will immediately VM-exit with "VM-entry
failure due to invalid guest state," and L0 will reflect this exit
reason to L1.
Thanks for the explanation !
So the kvm-unit-test is still needed to verify that hardware does the
check. Right ?
