[PATCH] KVM: x86: Fix emulated CPUID features being applied to wrong sub-leaf
From: Binbin Wu
Date: Tue Jun 09 2026 - 04:05:21 EST
Pass the CPUID index into cpuid_func_emulated() and return no emulated
features for indexed CPUID leaves with a non-zero index.
KVM currently emulates CPUID features only for index 0, but
kvm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid() looks up emulated features by function alone.
As a result, reverse_cpuid[] entries that share a function but use a
non-zero index, e.g. CPUID.7.1:ECX, can inherit emulated features that
belong to index 0. For example, RDPID, which is CPUID.7.0:ECX[22], can
be incorrectly OR'd into CPUID.7.1:ECX.
This is benign today because the affected bits do not correspond to
features KVM cares about, but it can become a real bug as new CPUID
features are defined. Make the helper index-aware so emulated features
are applied only to the CPUID entry they actually describe.
