PATCH 1/1 KVM: x86: fix illegal MP_STATE when in/entering SMM

If we already entered/are about to enter SMM, don't allow switching to INIT/SIPI_RECEIVED, otherwise the next call to kvm_apic_accept_events() will report a warning.

Fixes cd7764fe9f73 ("KVM: x86: latch INITs while in system management mode")

I think that userspace can still set the mpstate first and then enter SMM with KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS, which would result in the same warning ... Don't we need a similar check in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events()?

Thanks.

I think we're seeing what Radim describes. So this is now a different call order.

The VCPU is set to KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED (which results in KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED). Then, KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS
is set with KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_SMM | KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_NMI_PENDING, enabling SMM.

Calling kvm_apic_accept_events() then will result in a warning on the next VCPU run.

So the right thing is indeed adding an additional checks for KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS.
