From 095686e6fcb4150f0a55b1a25987fad3d8af58d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Levitsky mlevitsk@redhat.com Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 16:20:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Check vmcs12->guest_ia32_debugctl on nested VM-Enter

Add a consistency check for L2's guest_ia32_debugctl, as KVM only supports a subset of hardware functionality, i.e. KVM can't rely on hardware to detect illegal/unsupported values. Failure to check the vmcs12 value would allow the guest to load any harware-supported value while running L2.

Take care to exempt BTF and LBR from the validity check in order to match KVM's behavior for writes via WRMSR, but without clobbering vmcs12. Even if VM_EXIT_SAVE_DEBUG_CONTROLS is set in vmcs12, L1 can reasonably expect that vmcs12->guest_ia32_debugctl will not be modified if writes to the MSR are being intercepted.

Arguably, KVM _should_ update vmcs12 if VM_EXIT_SAVE_DEBUG_CONTROLS is set *and* writes to MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR are not being intercepted by L1, but that would incur non-trivial complexity and wouldn't change the fact that KVM's handling of DEBUGCTL is blatantly broken. I.e. the extra complexity is not worth carrying.
