[PATCH v3 12/22] x86/fpu: Prepare xfd_err in struct fpu_guest

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

 



When XFD causes an instruction to generate #NM, IA32_XFD_ERR
contains information about which disabled state components are
being accessed. The #NM handler is expected to check this
information and then enable the state components by clearing
IA32_XFD for the faulting task (if having permission).

If the XFD_ERR value generated in guest is consumed/clobbered
by the host before the guest itself doing so. This may lead to
non-XFD-related #NM treated as XFD #NM in host (due to non-zero
value in XFD_ERR), or XFD-related #NM treated as non-XFD #NM in
guest (XFD_ERR cleared by the host #NM handler).

Introduce a new field in fpu_guest to save the guest xfd_err value.
KVM is expected to save guest xfd_err before preemption is enabled
and restore it right before entering the guest (with preemption
disabled).
