[PATCH] KVM: x86: nVMX: allow RSM to restore VMXE CR4 flag

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Tue Mar 26 2019 - 09:07:59 EST


Commit 5bea5123cbf0 ("KVM: VMX: check nested state and CR4.VMXE against
SMM") introduced a check to vmx_set_cr4() forbidding to set VMXE from SMM.
The check is correct, however, there is a special case when RSM is called
to leave SMM: rsm_enter_protected_mode() is called with HF_SMM_MASK still
set and in case VMXE was set before entering SMM we're failing to return.

Resolve the issue by temporary dropping HF_SMM_MASK around set_cr4() calls
when ops->set_cr() is called from RSM.

- Instread of putting the temporary HF_SMM_MASK drop to
rsm_enter_protected_mode() (as was suggested by Liran), move it to
emulator_set_cr() modifying its interface. emulate.c seems to be
vcpu-specifics-free at this moment, we may want to keep it this way.
- It seems that Hyper-V+UEFI on KVM is still broken, I'm observing sporadic
hangs even with this patch. These hangs, however, seem to be unrelated to
rsm.
