Thinking more on this, we should do three things:
1. Revert this part back to "vmx->fail = 0".
2. Override SS.RPL and CS.RPL on RSM for VMX. Not sure this is strictly
necessary, I'm struggling to remember how SS.RPL and SS.DPL can get out of
sync.
IF RFLAGS.VM = 0 AND (in VMX root operation OR the “unrestricted guest”
VM-execution control is 0)
THEN
CS.RPL := SS.DPL;
SS.RPL := SS.DPL;
FI;
3. Modify RSM to go into TRIPLE_FAULT if vmx->emulation_required is true after
loading state for RSM. On AMD, whose SMRAM KVM emulates, all segment state
is read-only, i.e. if it's modified to be invalid then KVM essentially do
whatever it wants.
4. Reject KVM_RUN if is_guest_mode() and vmx->emulation_required are true. By
handling the RSM case explicitly, this means userspace has attempted to run
L2 with garbage, which KVM most definitely doesn't want to support.
5. Add KVM_BUG_ON(is_guest_mode(vcpu), ...) in the emulation_required path in
vmx_vcpu_run(), as reaching that point means KVM botched VM-Enter, RSM or
the #4 above.
