commit d73235d17ba63b53dc0e1051dbc10a1f1be91b71 upstream.

*** Guest State *** CR0: actual=0x0000000000000030, shadow=0x0000000060000010, gh_mask=fffffffffffffff7 CR4: actual=0x0000000000002050, shadow=0x0000000000000000, gh_mask=ffffffffffffe871 CR3 = 0x00000000fffbc000 RSP = 0x0000000000000000 RIP = 0x0000000000000000 RFLAGS=0x00000000 DR7 = 0x0000000000000400 ^^^^^^^^^^

The failed vmentry is triggered by the following testcase when ept=Y:

#include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <linux/kvm.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h>

long r[5]; int main() { r[2] = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY); r[3] = ioctl(r[2], KVM_CREATE_VM, 0); r[4] = ioctl(r[3], KVM_CREATE_VCPU, 7); struct kvm_regs regs = { .rflags = 0, }; ioctl(r[4], KVM_SET_REGS, &regs); ioctl(r[4], KVM_RUN, 0); }

X86 RFLAGS bit 1 is fixed set, userspace can simply clearing bit 1 of RFLAGS with KVM_SET_REGS ioctl which results in vmentry fails. This patch fixes it by oring X86_EFLAGS_FIXED during ioctl.
