commit 9cc409325ddd776f6fd6293d5ce93ce1248af6e4 upstream.
Inject #GP for if VMXON is attempting with a CR0/CR4 that fails the generic "is CRx valid" check, but passes the CR4.VMXE check, and do the generic checks _after_ handling the post-VMXON VM-Fail.
The CR4.VMXE check, and all other #UD cases, are special pre-conditions that are enforced prior to pivoting on the current VMX mode, i.e. occur before interception if VMXON is attempted in VMX non-root mode.
All other CR0/CR4 checks generate #GP and effectively have lower priority than the post-VMXON check.
Per the SDM:
IF (register operand) or (CR0.PE = 0) or (CR4.VMXE = 0) or ... THEN #UD; ELSIF not in VMX operation THEN IF (CPL > 0) or (in A20M mode) or (the values of CR0 and CR4 are not supported in VMX operation) THEN #GP(0); ELSIF in VMX non-root operation THEN VMexit; ELSIF CPL > 0 THEN #GP(0); ELSE VMfail("VMXON executed in VMX root operation"); FI;
which, if re-written without ELSIF, yields:
IF (register operand) or (CR0.PE = 0) or (CR4.VMXE = 0) or ... THEN #UD
IF in VMX non-root operation THEN VMexit;
IF CPL > 0 THEN #GP(0)
IF in VMX operation THEN VMfail("VMXON executed in VMX root operation");
IF (in A20M mode) or (the values of CR0 and CR4 are not supported in VMX operation) THEN #GP(0);
Note, KVM unconditionally forwards VMXON VM-Exits that occur in L2 to L1, i.e. there is no need to check the vCPU is not in VMX non-root mode. Add a comment to explain why unconditionally forwarding such exits is functionally correct.
