+ * Detect and workaround Errata 1096 Fam_17h_00_0Fh.
+ *
+ * Errata:
+ * When CPU raise #NPF on guest data access and vCPU CR4.SMAP=1, it is
+ * possible that CPU microcode implementing DecodeAssist will fail
+ * to read bytes of instruction which caused #NPF. In this case,
+ * GuestIntrBytes field of the VMCB on a VMEXIT will incorrectly
+ * return 0 instead of the correct guest instruction bytes.
+ *
+ * This happens because CPU microcode reading instruction bytes
+ * uses a special opcode which attempts to read data using CPL=0
+ * priviledges. The microcode reads CS:RIP and if it hits a SMAP
+ * fault, it gives up and returns no instruction bytes.
+ *
+ * Detection:
+ * We reach here in case CPU supports DecodeAssist, raised #NPF and
+ * returned 0 in GuestIntrBytes field of the VMCB.
+ * First, errata can only be triggered in case vCPU CR4.SMAP=1.
+ * Second, if vCPU CR4.SMEP=1, errata could only be triggered
+ * in case vCPU CPL==3 (Because otherwise guest would have triggered
+ * a SMEP fault instead of #NPF).
+ * Otherwise, vCPU CR4.SMEP=0, errata could be triggered by any vCPU CPL.
+ * As most guests enable SMAP if they have also enabled SMEP, use above
+ * logic in order to attempt minimize false-positive of detecting errata
+ * while still preserving all cases semantic correctness.
+ *
+ * Workaround:
+ * To determine what instruction the guest was executing, the hypervisor
+ * will have to decode the instruction at the instruction pointer.
*
* In non SEV guest, hypervisor will be able to read the guest
* memory to decode the instruction pointer when insn_len is zero
