Subject: [PATCH] KVM: TDX: Don't assume exit_reason[31:16] is all-0 in
tdx_to_vmx_exit_reason()

When handling the real Exit Reason, don't assume the upper 16 bits as all-0 in tdx_to_vmx_exit_reason(), in preparation for enabling Bus Lock VM exit.

When Bus Lock VM exit is enabled, the bit 26 of Exit Reason becomes valid and it can be 1 with various exit reasons. Change the logic in tdx_to_vmx_exit_reason() to check the 'basic' Exit Reason for correctness. Also preserve bit[31:16] when changing the (basic) Exit Reason, to not lose the information in bit[31:16].

Change the return type of tdx_to_vmx_exit_reason() to "union vmx_exit_reason" for the convenience of manipulating the basic field.

Fixes c42856af8f70 ("KVM: TDX: Add a place holder for handler of TDX hypercalls (TDG.VP.VMCALL)")

PATCH 1/1 KVM: TDX: Don't assume exit_reason[31:16] is all-0 in tdx_to_vmx_exit_reason()

From: Xiaoyao Li <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit bc335ce04408750585b4b32f248c543c9493d545 ]
