+Subject: x86/kvm/vmx: do not use vm-exit instruction length for fast MMIO when running nested
+MIME-Version: 1.0

+commit d391f1207067268261add0485f0f34503539c5b0 upstream.
+
+I was investigating an issue with seabios >= 1.10 which stopped working
+for nested KVM on Hyper-V. The problem appears to be in
+handle_ept_violation() function: when we do fast mmio we need to skip
+the instruction so we do kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(). This, however,
+depends on VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN field being set correctly in VMCS.
+However, this is not the case.
+
+Intel's manual doesn't mandate VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN to be set when
+EPT MISCONFIG occurs. While on real hardware it was observed to be set,
+some hypervisors follow the spec and don't set it; we end up advancing
+IP with some random value.
+
+I checked with Microsoft and they confirmed they don't fill
+VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN on EPT MISCONFIG.
+
+Fix the issue by doing instruction skip through emulator when running
+nested.
