KVM: nVMX: Inject #GP, not #UD, if "generic" VMXON CR0/CR4 check fails
commit
9cc409325ddd776f6fd6293d5ce93ce1248af6e4 upstream.
Inject #GP for if VMXON is attempting with a CR0/CR4 that fails the
generic "is CRx valid" check, but passes the CR4.VMXE check, and do the
generic checks _after_ handling the post-VMXON VM-Fail.
The CR4.VMXE check, and all other #UD cases, are special pre-conditions
that are enforced prior to pivoting on the current VMX mode, i.e. occur
before interception if VMXON is attempted in VMX non-root mode.
All other CR0/CR4 checks generate #GP and effectively have lower priority
than the post-VMXON check.
Per the SDM:
IF (register operand) or (CR0.PE = 0) or (CR4.VMXE = 0) or ...
THEN #UD;
ELSIF not in VMX operation
THEN
IF (CPL > 0) or (in A20M mode) or
(the values of CR0 and CR4 are not supported in VMX operation)
THEN #GP(0);
ELSIF in VMX non-root operation
THEN VMexit;
ELSIF CPL > 0
THEN #GP(0);
ELSE VMfail("VMXON executed in VMX root operation");
FI;
which, if re-written without ELSIF, yields:
IF (register operand) or (CR0.PE = 0) or (CR4.VMXE = 0) or ...
THEN #UD
IF in VMX non-root operation
THEN VMexit;
IF CPL > 0
THEN #GP(0)
IF in VMX operation
THEN VMfail("VMXON executed in VMX root operation");
IF (in A20M mode) or
(the values of CR0 and CR4 are not supported in VMX operation)
THEN #GP(0);
Note, KVM unconditionally forwards VMXON VM-Exits that occur in L2 to L1,
i.e. there is no need to check the vCPU is not in VMX non-root mode. Add
a comment to explain why unconditionally forwarding such exits is
functionally correct.
