[PATCH v3 4/4] KVM: SVM: Support #GP handling for the case of nested on nested

From: Wei Huang
Date: Tue Jan 26 2021 - 06:18:27 EST


Under the case of nested on nested (L0->L1->L2->L3), #GP triggered by
SVM instructions can be hided from L1. Instead the hypervisor can
inject the proper #VMEXIT to inform L1 of what is happening. Thus L1
can avoid invoking the #GP workaround. For this reason we turns on
guest VM's X86_FEATURE_SVME_ADDR_CHK bit for KVM running inside VM to
receive the notification and change behavior.

Similarly we check if vcpu is under guest mode before emulating the
vmware-backdoor instructions. For the case of nested on nested, we
let the guest handle it.
