PKS MSR passes through guest directly. Configure the MSR to match the

Is the above check superfluous? I would assume that the L1 guest can't
set VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_PKRS unless this is true.


I enforce this check to ensure vmcs_write to the Guest_IA32_PKRS without error. if deleted, vmcs_write to GUEST_IA32_PKRS may executed when PKS is unsupported.

This doesn't seem right to me. On the target of a live migration, with
L2 active at the time the snapshot was taken (i.e.,
vmx->nested.nested_run_pending=0), it looks like we're going to try to
overwrite the current L2 PKRS value with L1's PKRS value (except that
in this situation, vmx->nested.vmcs01_guest_pkrs should actually be
0). Am I missing something?


We overwrite the L2 PKRS with L1's value when L2 doesn't support PKS. Because the L1's VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_PKRS is off, we need to migrate L1's PKRS to L2.

Shouldn't we be checking to see if the *virtual* CPU supports PKS
before writing anything into vmcs12->guest_ia32_pkrs?


Yes, It's reasonable.
