[PATCH 5.16 049/200] KVM: SVM: Never reject emulation due to SMAP errata for !SEV guests

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

 



From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 55467fcd55b89c622e62b4afe60ac0eb2fae91f2 upstream.

Always signal that emulation is possible for !SEV guests regardless of
whether or not the CPU provided a valid instruction byte stream.  KVM can
read all guest state (memory and registers) for !SEV guests, i.e. can
fetch the code stream from memory even if the CPU failed to do so because
of the SMAP errata.

Fixes: 05d5a4863525 ("KVM: SVM: Workaround errata#1096 (insn_len maybe zero on SMAP violation)")
