[PATCH 0/6] KVM: x86: KVM_SET_SREGS.CR4 bug fixes and cleanup

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

 



Two bug fixes to handle KVM_SET_SREGS without a preceding KVM_SET_CPUID2.

The overarching issue is that kvm_x86_ops.set_cr4() can fail, but its
invocation from __set_sregs(), a.k.a. KVM_SET_SREGS, ignores the result.
Fix the issue by moving all validity checks out of .set_cr4() in one way
or another.

I intentionally omitted a Cc to stable.  The first bug fix in particular
may break stable trees as it simply removes a check, and I don't know that
stable trees have the generic CR4 reserved bit check that is needed to
prevent the guest from setting VMXE when nVMX is not allowed.

Sean Christopherson (6):
  KVM: VMX: Drop guest CPUID check for VMXE in vmx_set_cr4()
  KVM: VMX: Drop explicit 'nested' check from vmx_set_cr4()
  KVM: SVM: Drop VMXE check from svm_set_cr4()
  KVM: x86: Move vendor CR4 validity check to dedicated kvm_x86_ops hook
  KVM: x86: Return bool instead of int for CR4 and SREGS validity checks
  KVM: selftests: Verify supported CR4 bits can be set before
    KVM_SET_CPUID2
