[PATCH 2/2] KVM: selftests: Explicit set #UD when *potentially* injecting exception
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Aug 17 2023 - 19:35:17 EST
Explicitly set the exception vector to #UD when potentially injecting an
exception in sync_regs_test's subtests that try to detect TOCTOU bugs
in KVM's handling of exceptions injected by userspace. A side effect of
the original KVM bug was that KVM would clear the vector, but relying on
KVM to clear the vector (i.e. make it #DE) makes it less likely that the
test would ever find *new* KVM bugs, e.g. because only the first iteration
would run with a legal vector to start.
Explicitly inject #UD for race_events_inj_pen() as well, e.g. so that it
doesn't inherit the illegal 255 vector from race_events_exc(), which
currently runs first.
