# Commit 5e02972646132ad98c365ebfcfcb43b40a0dde36 # Date 2016-06-13 12:44:32 +0100 # Author Euan Harris # Committer Andrew Cooper nested vmx: Validate host VMX MSRs before accessing them Some VMX MSRs may not exist on certain processor models, or may be disabled because of configuration settings. It is only safe to access these MSRs if configuration flags in other MSRs are set. These prerequisites are listed in the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Vol 3, Appendix A. nvmx_msr_read_intercept() does not check the prerequisites before accessing MSR_IA32_VMX_PROCBASED_CTLS2, MSR_IA32_VMX_EPT_VPID_CAP, MSR_IA32_VMX_VMFUNC on the host. Accessing these MSRs from a nested VMX guest running on a host which does not support them will cause Xen to crash with a GPF.
