VMCS - Guest Fields

26.3.1.1 Checks on Guest Control Registers, Debug Registers, and MSRs

Checks on Guest Control Registers

  • The CR0 field must not set any bit to a value not supported in VMX operation (see Section 23.8). The following are exceptions: ✅

    • Bit 0 (corresponding to CR0.PE) and bit 31 (PG) are not checked if the “unrestricted guest” VM-execution control is 1.

    • Bit 29 (corresponding to CR0.NW) and bit 30 (CD) are never checked because the values of these bits are not changed by VM entry; see Section 26.3.2.1.

  • The following checks are performed on processors that support Intel 64 architecture:

    • If the “IA-32e mode guest” VM-entry control is 1, bit 31 in the CR0 field (corresponding to CR0.PG) and bit 5 in the CR4 field (corresponding to CR4.PAE) must each be 1. ✅

    • If the “IA-32e mode guest” VM-entry control is 0, bit 17 in the CR4 field (corresponding to CR4.PCIDE) must be 0. (this value is one in my entry controls) ✅

    • The CR3 field must be such that bits 63:52 and bits in the range 51:32 beyond the processor’s physicaladdress width are 0. ✅

  • The CR4 field must not set any bit to a value not supported in VMX operation (see Section 23.8). ✅

guest cr0: 0x0000000080050033 0b1000 0000 0000 0101 0000 0000 0011 0011
guest cr3: 0x00000000001AD000
guest cr4: 0x00000000000026F8 0b0010 0110 1111 1000
Checks on Guest MSRs

  • If the “load debug controls” VM-entry control is 1, bits reserved in the IA32_DEBUGCTL MSR must be 0 in the field for that register. (this is not set in vm entry control fields in my vmcs...) ✅

  • The IA32_SYSENTER_ESP field and the IA32_SYSENTER_EIP field must each contain a canonical address. (this is MSR is zero) ✅

"In 64-bit mode, an address is considered to be in canonical form if address bits 63 through to the most-significant implemented bit by the microarchitecture are set to either all ones or all zeros..."

VMCS_GUEST_DEBUGCTL: 0x0000000000000000
VMCS_GUEST_SYSENTER_CS: 0x0000000000000000
VMCS_GUEST_SYSENTER_EIP: 0x0000000000000000
VMCS_GUEST_SYSENTER_ESP: 0x0000000000000000

26.3.1.2 Checks on Guest Segment Registers

This section specifies the checks on the fields for CS, SS, DS, ES, FS, GS, TR, and LDTR.

  • Selector fields.

    • TR. The TI flag (bit 2) must be 0. ✅
    • LDTR. If LDTR is usable, the TI flag (bit 2) must be 0. ✅
    • SS. If the guest will not be virtual-8086 and the “unrestricted guest” VM-execution control is 0, the RPL ✅ (bits 1:0) must equal the RPL of the selector field for CS. ✅

  • Base-address fields.

    • TR, FS, GS. The address must be canonical. ✅
    • CS. Bits 63:32 of the address must be zero. ✅
    • SS, DS, ES. If the register is usable, bits 63:32 of the address must be zero. ✅

  • Access-rights fields for CS, SS, DS, ES, FS, GS.

    • CS Bits 3:0 (Type): must be 9, 11, 13, or 15 (accessed code segment). ✅
    • SS. If SS is usable, the Type must be 3 or 7 (read/write, accessed data segment). ✅
    • DS, ES, FS, GS. The following checks apply if the register is usable ✅
      • Bit 0 of the Type must be 1 (accessed). ✅
      • If bit 3 of the Type is 1 (code segment), then bit 1 of the Type must be 1 (readable). ✅
    • Bit 4 (S). If the register is CS or if the register is usable, S must be 1 ✅
