Right now, vvmx will blindly copy L12's ACTIVITY_STATE into the L02 VMCS and enter the vCPU. Luckily for us, nested-virt is explicitly unsupported for security bugs. The inactivity states are HLT, SHUTDOWN and WAIT-FOR-SIPI, and as noted by the SDM in Vol3 27.7 "Special Features of VM Entry": If VM entry ends with the logical processor in an inactive activity state, the VM entry generates any special bus cycle that is normally generated when that activity state is entered from the active state. Also, Some activity states unconditionally block certain events. I.e. A VMEntry with ACTIVITY=SHUTDOWN will initiate a platform reset, while a VMEntry with ACTIVITY=WAIT-FOR-SIPI will really block everything other than SIPIs. Both of these activity states are for the TXT ACM to use, not for regular hypervisors, and Xen doesn't support dropping the HLT intercept either. There are two paths in Xen which operate on ACTIVITY_STATE. 1) The vmx_{get,set}_nonreg_state() helpers for VM-Fork. As regular VMs can't use any inactivity states, this is just duplicating the 0 from construct_vmcs(). Drop the field, leaving a comment as to why it is skipped. 2) Nested virt, because of ACTIVITY_STATE in vmcs_gstate_field[]. Explicitly hide the inactivity states in the guest's view of MSR_VMX_MISC, and remove ACTIVITY_STATE from vmcs_gstate_field[]. In virtual_vmentry(), we should trigger a VMEntry failure for the use of any inactivity states, but there's no support for that in the code at all so leave a TODO for when we finally start working on nested-virt in earnest.
