It is better to split this patch into two: one for nested and one for
SGX.
It is possible that there is a kernel release which has just one of
above two flawed commits, then this fix patch cannot be applied cleanly
to the release.
The nVMX code isn't buggy, VMX instructions #UD in compatibility mode, and except
for VMCALL, that #UD has higher priority than VM-Exit interception. So I'd say
just drop the nVMX side of things.
But it looks the old code doesn't unconditionally inject #UD when in
compatibility mode?
I think Sean means VMX instructions is not valid in compatibility mode
and it triggers #UD, which has higher priority than VM-Exit, by the
processor in non-root mode.
So if there is a VM-Exit due to VMX instruction , it is in 64-bit mode
for sure if it is in long mode.
Oh I see thanks.
Then is it better to add some comment to explain, or add a WARN() if it's not in
64-bit mode?
I also prefer to add a comment if no objection.
Seems I am not the only one who didn't get it : )
