[PATCH V4 1/4] KVM: SVM: Move STGI and CLGI intercept handling
From: Kevin Cheng
Date: Fri Feb 27 2026 - 22:33:58 EST
Add STGI/CLGI intercept handling to svm_recalc_instruction_intercepts()
in preparation for making the function EFER-aware. A later patch will
recalculate instruction intercepts when EFER.SVME is toggled, which is
needed to inject #UD on STGI/CLGI when the guest clears EFER.SVME.
When clearing the STGI intercept with vgif enabled, request
KVM_REQ_EVENT if there is a pending GIF-controlled event. This avoids
breaking NMI/SMI window tracking, as enable_{nmi,smi}_window() sets
INTERCEPT_STGI to detect when NMIs become unblocked. KVM_REQ_EVENT
forces kvm_check_and_inject_events() to re-evaluate pending events and
re-enable the intercept if needed.
Extract the pending GIF event check into a helper function
svm_has_pending_gif_event() to deduplicate the logic between
svm_recalc_instruction_intercepts() and svm_set_gif().
