SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 3/5] KVM: nVMX: fix checks on CR{0,4} during virtual VMX operation
2016-11-29 18:14-0800, David Matlack:
> KVM emulates MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 with the value -1ULL, meaning
> all CR0 and CR4 bits are allowed to be 1 during VMX operation.
>
> This does not match real hardware, which disallows the high 32 bits of
> CR0 to be 1, and disallows reserved bits of CR4 to be 1 (including bits
> which are defined in the SDM but missing according to CPUID). A guest
> can induce a VM-entry failure by setting these bits in GUEST_CR0 and
> GUEST_CR4, despite MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 indicating they are
> valid.

These bits also seem to be guaranteed in fixed1 ... complicated
dependencies.

There is another exception, SDM 26.3.1.1 (Checks on Guest Control
Registers, Debug Registers, and MSRs):

Bit 29 (corresponding to CR0.NW) and bit 30 (CD) are never checked
because the values of these bits are not changed by VM entry; see
Section 26.3.2.1.

And another check:

If bit 31 in the CR0 field (corresponding to PG) is 1, bit 0 in that
field (PE) must also be 1.

We should use cr0 and cr4 checks also in handle_vmon().

I've applied this series to kvm/queue for early testing.
Please send replacement patch or patch(es) on top of this series.

Thanks.
