[PATCH] KVM: vmx/nested: avoid blindly setting SECONDARY_EXEC_ENCLS_EXITING when sgx is enabled

From: Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito
Date: Tue Oct 25 2022 - 08:37:59 EST


Currently vmx enables SECONDARY_EXEC_ENCLS_EXITING even when sgx
is not set in the host MSR.

When booting a guest, KVM checks that the cpuid bit is actually set
in vmx.c, and if not, it does not enable the feature.

However, in nesting this control bit is blindly set, and will be
propagated to VMCS12 and VMCS02. Therefore, when L1 tries to boot
the guest, the host will try to execute VMLOAD with VMCS02 containing
a feature that the hardware does not support, making it fail with
hardware error 0x7.

According to section "Secondary Processor-Based VM-Execution Controls"
in the Intel SDM, software should *always* check the value in the
actual MSR_IA32_VMX_PROCBASED_CTLS2 before enabling this bit.

Not updating enable_sgx is responsible for a second bug:
vmx_set_cpu_caps() doesn't clear the SGX bits when hardware support is
unavailable. This is a much less problematic bug as it only pops up
if SGX is soft-disabled (the case being handled by cpu_has_sgx()) or if
SGX is supported for bare metal but not in the VMCS (will never happen
when running on bare metal, but can theoertically happen when running in
a VM).

Last but not least, KVM should ideally have module params reflect KVM's
actual configuration.
