KVM: nVMX: avoid incorrect preemption timer vmexit in nested guest
The preemption timer for nested VMX is emulated by hrtimer which is started on L2 entry, stopped on L2 exit and evaluated via the check_nested_events hook. However, nested_vmx_exit_handled is always returning true for preemption timer vmexit. Then, the L1 preemption timer vmexit is captured and be treated as a L2 preemption timer vmexit, causing NULL pointer dereferences or worse in the L1 guest's vmexit handler: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [< (null)>] (null) PGD 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP Call Trace: ? kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer+0x47/0x90 [kvm] handle_preemption_timer+0xe/0x20 [kvm_intel] vmx_handle_exit+0x169/0x15a0 [kvm_intel] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xd5d/0x19d0 [kvm] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xdee/0x19d0 [kvm] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xd5d/0x19d0 [kvm] ? vcpu_load+0x1c/0x60 [kvm] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_load+0x57/0x260 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x2d3/0x7c0 [kvm] do_vfs_ioctl+0x96/0x6a0 ? __fget_light+0x2a/0x90 SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 do_syscall_64+0x68/0x180 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 Code: Bad RIP value.
