[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 25/90] KVM: nVMX: mask unrestricted_guest if disabled on L0

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 17:18:47 EST


3.13.11-ckt20 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Radim=20Kr=C4=8Dm=C3=A1=C5=99?= <rkrcmar@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0790ec172de1bd2e23f1dbd4925426b6cc3c1b72 upstream.

If EPT was enabled, unrestricted_guest was allowed in L1 regardless of
L0. L1 triple faulted when running L2 guest that required emulation.

Another side effect was 'WARN_ON_ONCE(vmx->nested.nested_run_pending)'
in L0's dmesg:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c:9190 nested_vmx_vmexit+0x96e/0xb00 [kvm_intel] ()

Prevent this scenario by masking SECONDARY_EXEC_UNRESTRICTED_GUEST when
the host doesn't have it enabled.

Fixes: 78051e3b7e35 ("KVM: nVMX: Disable unrestricted mode if ept=0")
