KVM: nSVM: Set exit_code_hi to -1 when synthesizing SVM_EXIT_ERR (failed VMRUN)
commit
f402ecd7a8b6446547076f4bd24bd5d4dcc94481 upstream.
Set exit_code_hi to -1u as a temporary band-aid to fix a long-standing
(effectively since KVM's inception) bug where KVM treats the exit code as
a 32-bit value, when in reality it's a 64-bit value. Per the APM, offset
0x70 is a single 64-bit value:
070h 63:0 EXITCODE
And a sane reading of the error values defined in "Table C-1. SVM Intercept
Codes" is that negative values use the full 64 bits:
–1 VMEXIT_INVALID Invalid guest state in VMCB.
–2 VMEXIT_BUSYBUSY bit was set in the VMSA
–3 VMEXIT_IDLE_REQUIREDThe sibling thread is not in an idle state
-4 VMEXIT_INVALID_PMC Invalid PMC state
And that interpretation is confirmed by testing on Milan and Turin (by
setting bits in CR0[63:32] to generate VMEXIT_INVALID on VMRUN).
Furthermore, Xen has treated exitcode as a 64-bit value since HVM support
was adding in 2006 (see Xen commit
d1bd157fbc ("Big merge the HVM
full-virtualisation abstractions.")).
