From 2368048bf5c2ec4b604ac3431564071e89a0bc71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson seanjc@google.com Date: Thu, 12 May 2022 22:27:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Signal #GP, not -EPERM, on bad WRMSR(MCi_CTL/STATUS)
Return '1', not '-1', when handling an illegal WRMSR to a MCi_CTL or MCi_STATUS MSR. The behavior of "all zeros' or "all ones" for CTL MSRs is architectural, as is the "only zeros" behavior for STATUS MSRs. I.e. the intent is to inject a #GP, not exit to userspace due to an unhandled emulation case. Returning '-1' gets interpreted as -EPERM up the stack and effecitvely kills the guest.
