[PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: VMX: Do not trap VMFUNC instructions for L1 guests.

From: Yu Zhang
Date: Wed Nov 09 2022 - 03:43:08 EST


Currently, although KVM does not support VMFUNC for L1 guests,
it still traps the VMFUNC instructions. This is done by setting
SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_VMFUNC in the VM-execution control and 0
to VM-function control. And then in the VM exit handler, a #UD
is injected to L1 guest.

But for non-nested, KVM do not need to trap VMFUNC at all. According
to Intel SDM Volume3 25.5.6.2, "General Operation of the VMFUNC
Instruction", The VMFUNC instruction causes an invalid-opcode
exception (#UD) if the “enable VM functions” VM-execution controls
is 0.

So just disable SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_VMFUNC in VM-execution
control for L1 guests.
