KVM: SVM: Don't intercept IRET when injecting NMI and vNMI is enabled
When vNMI is enabled, rely entirely on hardware to correctly handle NMI blocking, i.e. don't intercept IRET to detect when NMIs are no longer blocked. KVM already correctly ignores svm->nmi_masked when vNMI is enabled, so the effect of the bug is essentially an unnecessary VM-Exit. KVM intercepts IRET for two reasons: - To track NMI masking to be able to know at any point of time if NMI is masked. - To track NMI windows (to inject another NMI after the guest executes IRET, i.e. unblocks NMIs) When vNMI is enabled, both cases are handled by hardware: - NMI masking state resides in int_ctl.V_NMI_BLOCKING and can be read by KVM at will. - Hardware automatically "injects" pending virtual NMIs when virtual NMIs become unblocked. However, even though pending a virtual NMI for hardware to handle is the most common way to synthesize a guest NMI, KVM may still directly inject an NMI via when KVM is handling two "simultaneous" NMIs (see comments in process_nmi() for details on KVM's simultaneous NMI handling). Per AMD's APM, hardware sets the BLOCKING flag when software directly injects an NMI as well, i.e. KVM doesn't need to manually mark vNMIs as blocked: If Event Injection is used to inject an NMI when NMI Virtualization is enabled, VMRUN sets V_NMI_MASK in the guest state. Note, it's still possible that KVM could trigger a spurious IRET VM-Exit. When running a nested guest, KVM disables vNMI for L2 and thus will enable IRET interception (in both vmcb01 and vmcb02) while running L2 reason. If a nested VM-Exit happens before L2 executes IRET, KVM can end up running L1 with vNMI enable and IRET intercepted. This is also a benign bug, and even less likely to happen, i.e. can be safely punted to a future fix.
