I guess this should be "svm->vmcb->save.rip", since
KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE "save" field contains vmcb01 data,
not vmcb{0,1}2 (in contrast to the "control" field).

Argh, yes.  Is userspace required to set L2 guest state prior to KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE?
If not, this will result in garbage being loaded into vmcb02.


Let's just require X86_FEATURE_NRIPS, either in general or just to
enable nested virtualiazation

👍


If I looked it up correctly it was introduced around 2010-2011.

A quick Internet search showed that the first CPUs with NextRIP were
the second-generation Family 10h CPUs (Phenom II, Athlon II, etc.).
They started being released in early 2009.
