    KVM: nVMX: Sign extend displacements of VMX instr's mem operands · 9ce0ffeb

    commit 946c522b603f281195af1df91837a1d4d1eb3bc9 upstream.
    
    The VMCS.EXIT_QUALIFCATION field reports the displacements of memory
    operands for various instructions, including VMX instructions, as a
    naturally sized unsigned value, but masks the value by the addr size,
    e.g. given a ModRM encoded as -0x28(%ebp), the -0x28 displacement is
    reported as 0xffffffd8 for a 32-bit address size.  Despite some weird
    wording regarding sign extension, the SDM explicitly states that bits
    beyond the instructions address size are undefined:
    
        In all cases, bits of this field beyond the instruction’s address
        size are undefined.
    
    Failure to sign extend the displacement results in KVM incorrectly
    treating a negative displacement as a large positive displacement when
    the address size of the VMX instruction is smaller than KVM's native
    size, e.g. a 32-bit address size on a 64-bit KVM.
    
    The very original decoding, added by commit 064aea77 ("KVM: nVMX:
    Decoding memory operands of VMX instructions"), sort of modeled sign
    extension by truncating the final virtual/linear address for a 32-bit
    address size.  I.e. it messed up the effective address but made it work
    by adjusting the final address.
    
    When segmentation checks were added, the truncation logic was kept
    as-is and no sign extension logic was introduced.  In other words, it
    kept calculating the wrong effective address while mostly generating
    the correct virtual/linear address.  As the effective address is what's
    used in the segment limit checks, this results in KVM incorreclty
    injecting #GP/#SS faults due to non-existent segment violations when
    a nested VMM uses negative displacements with an address size smaller
    than KVM's native address size.
    
    Using the -0x28(%ebp) example, an EBP value of 0x1000 will result in
    KVM using 0x100000fd8 as the effective address when checking for a
    segment limit violation.  This causes a 100% failure rate when running
    a 32-bit KVM build as L1 on top of a 64-bit KVM L0.
