* Detect and workaround Errata 1096 Fam_17h_00_0Fh.
*
* Errata:
- * When CPU raise #NPF on guest data access and vCPU CR4.SMAP=1, it is
- * possible that CPU microcode implementing DecodeAssist will fail
- * to read bytes of instruction which caused #NPF. In this case,
- * GuestIntrBytes field of the VMCB on a VMEXIT will incorrectly
- * return 0 instead of the correct guest instruction bytes.
- *
- * This happens because CPU microcode reading instruction bytes
- * uses a special opcode which attempts to read data using CPL=0
- * privileges. The microcode reads CS:RIP and if it hits a SMAP
- * fault, it gives up and returns no instruction bytes.
+ * When CPU raises #NPF on guest data access and vCPU CR4.SMAP=1, it is
+ * possible that CPU microcode implementing DecodeAssist will fail to
+ * read guest memory at CS:RIP and vmcb.GuestIntrBytes will incorrectly
+ * be '0'. This happens because microcode reads CS:RIP using a _data_
+ * loap uop with CPL=0 privileges. If the load hits a SMAP #PF, ucode
+ * gives up and does not fill the instruction bytes buffer.
*
* Detection:
- * We reach here in case CPU supports DecodeAssist, raised #NPF and
- * returned 0 in GuestIntrBytes field of the VMCB.
- * First, errata can only be triggered in case vCPU CR4.SMAP=1.
- * Second, if vCPU CR4.SMEP=1, errata could only be triggered
- * in case vCPU CPL==3 (Because otherwise guest would have triggered
- * a SMEP fault instead of #NPF).
- * Otherwise, vCPU CR4.SMEP=0, errata could be triggered by any vCPU CPL.
- * As most guests enable SMAP if they have also enabled SMEP, use above
- * logic in order to attempt minimize false-positive of detecting errata
- * while still preserving all cases semantic correctness.
- *
- * Workaround:
- * To determine what instruction the guest was executing, the hypervisor
- * will have to decode the instruction at the instruction pointer.
+ * KVM reaches this point if the VM is an SEV guest, the CPU supports
+ * DecodeAssist, a #NPF was raised, KVM's page fault handler triggered
+ * emulation (e.g. for MMIO), and the CPU returned 0 in GuestIntrBytes
+ * field of the VMCB.
*
- * In non SEV guest, hypervisor will be able to read the guest
- * memory to decode the instruction pointer when insn_len is zero
- * so we return true to indicate that decoding is possible.
+ * This does _not_ mean that the erratum has been encountered, as the
+ * DecodeAssist will also fail if the load for CS:RIP hits a legitimate
+ * #PF, e.g. if the guest attempt to execute from emulated MMIO and
+ * encountered a reserved/not-present #PF.
*
- * But in the SEV guest, the guest memory is encrypted with the
- * guest specific key and hypervisor will not be able to decode the
- * instruction pointer so we will not able to workaround it. Lets
- * print the error and request to kill the guest.
+ * To reduce the likelihood of false positives, take action if and only
+ * if CR4.SMAP=1 (obviously required to hit the erratum) and CR4.SMEP=0
+ * or CPL=3. If SMEP=1 and CPL!=3, the erratum cannot have been hit as
+ * the guest would have encountered a SMEP violation #PF, not a #NPF.
