[PATCH v2 00/24] KVM: x86: Event/exception fixes and cleanups

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Jul 15 2022 - 16:42:39 EST


The main goal of this series is to fix KVM's longstanding bug of not
honoring L1's exception intercepts wants when handling an exception that
occurs during delivery of a different exception. E.g. if L0 and L1 are
using shadow paging, and L2 hits a #PF, and then hits another #PF while
vectoring the first #PF due to _L1_ not having a shadow page for the IDT,
KVM needs to check L1's intercepts before morphing the #PF => #PF => #DF
so that the #PF is routed to L1, not injected into L2 as a #DF.

nVMX has hacked around the bug for years by overriding the #PF injector
for shadow paging to go straight to VM-Exit, and nSVM has started doing
the same. The hacks mostly work, but they're incomplete, confusing, and
lead to other hacky code, e.g. bailing from the emulator because #PF
injection forced a VM-Exit and suddenly KVM is back in L1.

Maxim, I believe I addressed all of your comments, holler if I missed
something.

v2:
- Collect reviews. [Maxim, Jim]
- Split a few patches into more consumable chunks. [Maxim]
- Document that KVM doesn't correctly handle SMI+MTF (or SMI priority). [Maxim]
- Add comment to document the instruction boundary (event window) aspect
of block_nested_events. [Maxim]
- Add a patch to rename inject_pending_events() and add a comment to
document KVM's not-quite-architecturally-correct handing of instruction
boundaries and asynchronous events. [Maxim]
