[PATCH v2 01/15] KVM: SVM: Truncate INVLPGA address in compatibility mode
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu May 14 2026 - 17:58:26 EST
Check for full 64-bit mode, not just long mode, when truncating the
virtual address as part of INVLPGA emulation. Compatibility mode doesn't
support 64-bit addressing.
Note, the FIXME still applies, e.g. if the guest deliberately targeted
EAX while in 64-bit via an address size override. That flaw isn't worth
fixing as it would require decoding the code stream, which would open a
an entirely different can of worms, and in practice no sane guest would
shove garbage into RAX[63:32] and execute INVLPGA.
Note #2, VMSAVE, VMLOAD, and VMRUN all suffer from the same architectural
flaw of not providing the full linear address in a VMCB exit information
field, because, quoting the APM verbatim:
the linear address is available directly from the guest rAX register
(VMSAVE, VMLOAD, and VMRUN take a physical address, but they're behavior
with respect to rAX is otherwise identical).
Fixes: bc9eff67fc35 ("KVM: SVM: Use default rAX size for INVLPGA emulation")
