[Xen-devel] [PATCH] nestedsvm: fix lazy fpu switching causing a triple fault

[Christoph Egger <Christoph.Egger@xxxxxxx>]

Fix FPU switching uncovered with Hyper-V:
Do FPU switching always on the n1 vmcb rather
doing it on the current active vmcb.
The FPU state between n1 and n2 vmcb is already
synced in the vmrun and vmexit emulation.

This fixes the situation where the n2 vmcb had the
#NM intercept bit set but the virtual vmcb did not.
That means it was believed the l1 guest can handle
an #NM intercept but was actually wrong.

The result were three #GP's with error code 0x11 in
the l1 guest.
