At this point you have already done a svm_switch_vmcb, so you need to
undo its effects. This is indeed what returning 1 achieves. However,
if you return 1 then the caller does:
if (enter_svm_guest_mode(vcpu, vmcb12_gpa, vmcb12)) {
svm->nested.nested_run_pending = 0;
svm->vmcb->control.exit_code = SVM_EXIT_ERR;
svm->vmcb->control.exit_code_hi = 0;
svm->vmcb->control.exit_info_1 = 0;
svm->vmcb->control.exit_info_2 = 0;
nested_svm_vmexit(svm);
}
where we have three steps:
1) clearing nested_run_pending is all good
2) setting the exit code is good, but then you don't need to do it in
enter_svm_guest_mode
3) nested_svm_vmexit is problematic; nested_svm_vmexit copies values
from VMCB02 to VMCB12 but those have not been set yet
(nested_vmcb02_prepare_save takes care of it). The simplest way to fix
this is to add a bool argument to nested_svm_vmexit, saying whether the
vmcb12 save area should be updated or not.
