From 2657b82a78f18528bef56dc1b017158490970873 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson seanjc@google.com Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2024 13:20:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Treat vpid01 as current if L2 is active, but with VPID disabled

When getting the current VPID, e.g. to emulate a guest TLB flush, return vpid01 if L2 is running but with VPID disabled, i.e. if VPID is disabled in vmcs12. Architecturally, if VPID is disabled, then the guest and host effectively share VPID=0. KVM emulates this behavior by using vpid01 when running an L2 with VPID disabled (see prepare_vmcs02_early_rare()), and so KVM must also treat vpid01 as the current VPID while L2 is active.

Unconditionally treating vpid02 as the current VPID when L2 is active causes KVM to flush TLB entries for vpid02 instead of vpid01, which results in TLB entries from L1 being incorrectly preserved across nested VM-Enter to L2 (L2=>L1 isn't problematic, because the TLB flush after nested VM-Exit flushes vpid01).

The bug manifests as failures in the vmx_apicv_test KVM-Unit-Test, as KVM incorrectly retains TLB entries for the APIC-access page across a nested VM-Enter.

Opportunisticaly add comments at various touchpoints to explain the architectural requirements, and also why KVM uses vpid01 instead of vpid02.

All credit goes to Chao, who root caused the issue and identified the fix.
