[PATCH v2 1/7] KVM: nVMX: Keep KVM updates to BNDCFGS ctrl bits across MSR write

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

 



Since commit 5f76f6f5ff96 ("KVM: nVMX: Do not expose MPX VMX controls
when guest MPX disabled"), KVM has taken ownership of the "load
IA32_BNDCFGS" and "clear IA32_BNDCFGS" VMX entry/exit controls. The ABI
is that these bits must be set in the IA32_VMX_TRUE_{ENTRY,EXIT}_CTLS
MSRs if the guest's CPUID supports MPX, and clear otherwise.

However, KVM will only do so if userspace sets the CPUID before writing
to the corresponding MSRs. Of course, there are no ordering requirements
between these ioctls. Uphold the ABI regardless of ordering by
reapplying KVMs tweaks to the VMX control MSRs after userspace has
written to them.

Fixes: 5f76f6f5ff96 ("KVM: nVMX: Do not expose MPX VMX controls when guest MPX disabled")
