KVM: VMX: Zero host's SYSENTER_ESP iff SYSENTER is NOT used
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Zero vmcs.HOST_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP when initializing *constant* host state
if and only if SYSENTER cannot be used, i.e. the kernel is a 64-bit
kernel and is not emulating 32-bit syscalls.  As the name suggests,
vmx_set_constant_host_state() is intended for state that is *constant*.
When SYSENTER is used, SYSENTER_ESP isn't constant because stacks are
per-CPU, and the VMCS must be updated whenever the vCPU is migrated to a
new CPU.  The logic in vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs() doesn't differentiate between
"never loaded" and "loaded on a different CPU", i.e. setting SYSENTER_ESP
on VMCS load also handles setting correct host state when the VMCS is
first loaded.

Because a VMCS must be loaded before it is initialized during vCPU RESET,
zeroing the field in vmx_set_constant_host_state() obliterates the value
that was written when the VMCS was loaded.  If the vCPU is run before it
is migrated, the subsequent VM-Exit will zero out MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP,
leading to a #DF on the next 32-bit syscall.
