Skip the WRMSR fastpath in SVM's VM-Exit handler if the next RIP isn't valid, e.g. because KVM is running with nrips=false. SVM must decode and emulate to skip the WRMSR if the CPU doesn't provide the next RIP. Getting the instruction bytes to decode the WRMSR requires reading guest memory, which in turn means dereferencing memslots, and that isn't safe because KVM doesn't hold SRCU when the fastpath runs. Don't bother trying to enable the fastpath for this case, e.g. by doing only the WRMSR and leaving the "skip" until later. NRIPS is supported on all modern CPUs (KVM has considered making it mandatory), and the next RIP will be valid the vast, vast majority of the time. ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.0.0-smp--4e557fcd3d80-skip #13 Tainted: G O ----------------------------- include/linux/kvm_host.h:954 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 1 lock held by stable/206475: #0: ffff9d9dfebcc0f0 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x8b/0x620 [kvm] stack backtrace: CPU: 152 PID: 206475 Comm: stable Tainted: G O 6.0.0-smp--4e557fcd3d80-skip #13 Hardware name: Google, Inc.
