Subject: KVM: nVMX: avoid incorrect preemption timer vmexit in nested guest
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=55123e3c862d98dc4fbcade38d158c32c022afd8;p=linux-beck.git

KVM: nVMX: avoid incorrect preemption timer vmexit in nested guest

The preemption timer for nested VMX is emulated by hrtimer which is started on L2
entry, stopped on L2 exit and evaluated via the check_nested_events hook. However,
nested_vmx_exit_handled is always returning true for preemption timer vmexit.  Then,
the L1 preemption timer vmexit is captured and be treated as a L2 preemption
timer vmexit, causing NULL pointer dereferences or worse in the L1 guest's
vmexit handler:

This can be reproduced readily by preemption timer enabled on L0 and disabled
on L1.

Return false since preemption timer vmexits must never be reflected to L2.
