Heh, KVM should advertise this to userspace by setting the kvm_cpu_cap bit. KVM KVM forwards relevant VM-Exits to L1 without checking if rAX points at an invalid L1 GPA. > /* Intel-defined CPU features, CPUID level 0x00000007:0 (ECX), word 16 */ > #define X86_FEATURE_AVX512VBMI (16*32+ 1) /* AVX512 Vector Bit > Manipulation instructions*/ > diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c b/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c > index 74620d32aa82..451b82df2eab 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c > +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c > @@ -311,7 +311,7 @@ int svm_set_efer(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u64 efer) > svm->vmcb->save.efer = efer | EFER_SVME; > vmcb_mark_dirty(svm->vmcb, VMCB_CR); > /* Enable GP interception for SVM instructions if needed */ > - if (efer & EFER_SVME) > + if ((efer & EFER_SVME) && !boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SVME_ADDR_CHK)) > set_exception_intercept(svm, GP_VECTOR); > > return 0; > -- > 2.27.0 >
