[PATCH v2 1/5] KVM: nSVM: deal with L1 hypervisor that intercepts interrupts but lets L2 control EFLAGS.IF

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

 



Fix a corner case in which L1 hypervisor intercepts interrupts (INTERCEPT_INTR)
and either doesn't use virtual interrupt masking (V_INTR_MASKING) or
enters a nested guest with EFLAGS.IF disabled prior to the entry.

In this case, despite the fact that L1 intercepts the interrupts,
KVM still needs to set up an interrupt window to wait before it
can deliver INTR vmexit.

Currently instead, the KVM enters an endless loop of 'req_immediate_exit'.

Note that on VMX this case is impossible as there is only
'vmexit on external interrupts' execution control which either set,
in which case both host and guest's EFLAGS.IF
is ignored, or clear, in which case no VMexit is delivered.
