Reject KVM_RUN if emulation is required (because VMX is running without
unrestricted guest) and an exception is pending, as KVM doesn't support
emulating exceptions except when emulating real mode via vm86. The vCPU
is hosed either way, but letting KVM_RUN proceed triggers a WARN due to
the impossible condition. Alternatively, the WARN could be removed, but
then userspace and/or KVM bugs would result in the vCPU silently running
in a bad state, which isn't very friendly to users.
Originally, the bug was hit by syzkaller with a nested guest as that
doesn't require kvm_intel.unrestricted_guest=0. That particular flavor
is likely fixed by commit cd0e615c49 ("KVM: nVMX: Synthesize
TRIPLE_FAULT for L2 if emulation is required"), but it's trivial to
trigger the WARN with a non-nested guest, and userspace can likely force
bad state via ioctls() for a nested guest as well.
Checking for the impossible condition needs to be deferred until KVM_RUN
because KVM can't force specific ordering between ioctls. E.g. clearing
exception.pending in KVM_SET_SREGS doesn't prevent userspace from setting
it in KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS, and disallowing KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS with
emulation_required would prevent userspace from queuing an exception and
then stuffing sregs. Note, if KVM were to try and detect/prevent the
condition prior to KVM_RUN, handle_invalid_guest_state() and/or
handle_emulation_failure() would need to be modified to clear the pending
exception prior to exiting to userspace.
