commit 1aa9b9572b10529c2e64e2b8f44025d86e124308 upstream. The page table pages corresponding to broken down large pages are zapped in FIFO order, so that the large page can potentially be recovered, if it is not longer being used for execution. This removes the performance penalty for walking deeper EPT page tables. By default, one large page will last about one hour once the guest reaches a steady state.

commit b8e8c8303ff28c61046a4d0f6ea99aea609a7dc0 upstream. With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup. Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a malicious guest to cause this situation. Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable. This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow and direct EPT is treated in the same way.

commit e1d38b63acd843cfdd4222bf19a26700fd5c699e upstream. Export the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR bit MDS_NO=0 to guests on TSX Async Abort(TAA) affected hosts that have TSX enabled and updated microcode. This is required so that the guests don't complain, "Vulnerable: Clear CPU buffers attempted, no microcode" when the host has the updated microcode to clear CPU buffers. Microcode update also adds support for MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL which is enumerated by the ARCH_CAP_TSX_CTRL bit in IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR. Guests can't do this check themselves when the ARCH_CAP_TSX_CTRL bit is not exported to the guests. In this case export MDS_NO=0 to the guests. When guests have CPUID.MD_CLEAR=1, they deploy MDS mitigation which also mitigates TAA.

commit 16cfacc8085782dab8e365979356ce1ca87fd6cc upstream. Manually generate the PDPTR reserved bit mask when explicitly loading PDPTRs. The reserved bits that are being tracked by the MMU reflect the current paging mode, which is unlikely to be PAE paging in the vast majority of flows that use load_pdptrs(), e.g. CR0 and CR4 emulation, __set_sregs(), etc... This can cause KVM to incorrectly signal a bad PDPTR, or more likely, miss a reserved bit check and subsequently fail a VM-Enter due to a bad VMCS.GUEST_PDPTR. Add a one off helper to generate the reserved bits instead of sharing code across the MMU's calculations and the PDPTR emulation. The PDPTR reserved bits are basically set in stone, and pushing a helper into the MMU's calculation adds unnecessary complexity without improving readability. Oppurtunistically fix/update the comment for load_pdptrs(). Note, the buggy commit also introduced a deliberate functional change, "Also remove bit 5-6 from rsvd_bits_mask per latest SDM.", which was effectively (and correctly) reverted by commit cd9ae5fe ("KVM: x86: Fix page-tables reserved bits"). A bit of SDM archaeology shows that the SDM from late 2008 had a bug (likely a copy+paste error) where it listed bits 6:5 as AVL and A for PDPTEs used for 4k entries but reserved for 2mb entries. I.e. the SDM contradicted itself, and bits 6:5 are and always have been reserved.

commit 8530a79c5a9f4e29e6ffb35ec1a79d81f4968ec8 upstream. inject_emulated_exception() returns true if and only if nested page fault happens. However, page fault can come from guest page tables walk, either nested or not nested. In both cases we should stop an attempt to read under RIP and give guest to step over its own page fault handler. This is also visible when an emulated instruction causes a #GP fault and the VMware backdoor is enabled. To handle the VMware backdoor, KVM intercepts #GP faults; with only the next patch applied, x86_emulate_instruction() injects a #GP but returns EMULATE_FAIL instead of EMULATE_DONE. EMULATE_FAIL causes handle_exception_nmi() (or gp_interception() for SVM) to re-inject the original #GP because it thinks emulation failed due to a non-VMware opcode. This patch prevents the issue as x86_emulate_instruction() will return EMULATE_DONE after injecting the #GP.

The page fault will use uninitialized kernel stack memory as the CR2 and error code.

[ Upstream commit b68f3cc7d978943fcf85148165b00594c38db776 ] Invoking the 64-bit variation on a 32-bit kenrel will crash the guest, trigger a WARN, and/or lead to a buffer overrun in the host, e.g. rsm_load_state_64() writes r8-r15 unconditionally, but enum kvm_reg and thus x86_emulate_ctxt._regs only define r8-r15 for CONFIG_X86_64. KVM allows userspace to report long mode support via CPUID, even though the guest is all but guaranteed to crash if it actually tries to enable long mode. But, a pure 32-bit guest that is ignorant of long mode will happily plod along. SMM complicates things as 64-bit CPUs use a different SMRAM save state area. KVM handles this correctly for 64-bit kernels, e.g. uses the legacy save state map if userspace has hid long mode from the guest, but doesn't fare well when userspace reports long mode support on a 32-bit host kernel (32-bit KVM doesn't support 64-bit guests). Since the alternative is to crash the guest, e.g. by not loading state or explicitly requesting shutdown, unconditionally use the legacy SMRAM save state map for 32-bit KVM. If a guest has managed to get far enough to handle SMIs when running under a weird/buggy userspace hypervisor, then don't deliberately crash the guest since there are no downsides (from KVM's perspective) to allow it to continue running.

[ Upstream commit bc8a3d8925a8fa09fa550e0da115d95851ce33c6 ] KVM bases its memory usage limits on the total number of guest pages across all memslots. However, those limits, and the calculations to produce them, use 32 bit unsigned integers. This can result in overflow if a VM has more guest pages that can be represented by a u32. As a result of this overflow, KVM can use a low limit on the number of MMU pages it will allocate. This makes KVM unable to map all of guest memory at once, prompting spurious faults.

commit 75ee23b30dc712d80d2421a9a547e7ab6e379b44 upstream. Don't advance RIP or inject a single-step #DB if emulation signals a fault. This logic applies to all state updates that are conditional on clean retirement of the emulation instruction, e.g. updating RFLAGS was previously handled by commit 38827dbd ("KVM: x86: Do not update EFLAGS on faulting emulation"). Not advancing RIP is likely a nop, i.e. ctxt->eip isn't updated with ctxt->_eip until emulation "retires" anyways. Skipping #DB injection fixes a bug reported by Andy Lutomirski where a #UD on SYSCALL due to invalid state with EFLAGS.TF=1 would loop indefinitely due to emulation overwriting the #UD with #DB and thus restarting the bad SYSCALL over and over.

commit a86cb413f4bf273a9d341a3ab2c2ca44e12eb317 upstream. KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID is currently always reporting KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID on all architectures. However, on s390x, the amount of usable CPUs is determined during runtime - it is depending on the features of the machine the code is running on. Since we are using the vcpu_id as an index into the SCA structures that are defined by the hardware (see e.g. the sca_add_vcpu() function), it is not only the amount of CPUs that is limited by the hard- ware, but also the range of IDs that we can use. Thus KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID must be determined during runtime on s390x, too. So the handling of KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID has to be moved from the common code into the architecture specific code, and on s390x we have to return the same value here as for KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS. This problem has been discovered with the kvm_create_max_vcpus selftest. With this change applied, the selftest now passes on s390x, too.

commit 11988499e62b310f3bf6f6d0a807a06d3f9ccc96 upstream. KVM allows userspace to violate consistency checks related to the guest's CPUID model to some degree. Generally speaking, userspace has carte blanche when it comes to guest state so long as jamming invalid state won't negatively affect the host. Currently this is seems to be a non-issue as most of the interesting EFER checks are missing, e.g. NX and LME, but those will be added shortly. Proactively exempt userspace from the CPUID checks so as not to break userspace. Note, the efer_reserved_bits check still applies to userspace writes as that mask reflects the host's capabilities, e.g. KVM shouldn't allow a guest to run with NX=1 if it has been disabled in the host.

commit 8764ed55c9705e426d889ff16c26f398bba70b9b upstream. KVM's recent bug fix to update %rip after emulating I/O broke userspace that relied on the previous behavior of incrementing %rip prior to exiting to userspace. When running a Windows XP guest on AMD hardware, Qemu may patch "OUT 0x7E" instructions in reaction to the OUT itself. Because KVM's old behavior was to increment %rip before exiting to userspace to handle the I/O, Qemu manually adjusted %rip to account for the OUT instruction. Arguably this is a userspace bug as KVM requires userspace to re-enter the kernel to complete instruction emulation before taking any other actions. That being said, this is a bit of a grey area and breaking userspace that has worked for many years is bad. Pre-increment %rip on OUT to port 0x7e before exiting to userspace to hack around the issue.

Unfortunately, only VMX hosts handle accesses to MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (despite KVM_GET_MSRS also reporting MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES for all hosts). Move the MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES handling to common x86 code so that it's emulated on AMD hosts.

commit 45def77ebf79e2e8942b89ed79294d97ce914fa0 upstream. Most (all?) x86 platforms provide a port IO based reset mechanism, e.g. OUT 92h or CF9h. Userspace may emulate said mechanism, i.e. reset a vCPU in response to KVM_EXIT_IO, without explicitly announcing to KVM that it is doing a reset, e.g. Qemu jams vCPU state and resumes running. To avoid corruping %rip after such a reset, commit 0967b7bf ("KVM: Skip pio instruction when it is emulated, not executed") changed the behavior of PIO handlers, i.e. today's "fast" PIO handling to skip the instruction prior to exiting to userspace. Full emulation doesn't need such tricks becase re-emulating the instruction will naturally handle %rip being changed to point at the reset vector. Updating %rip prior to executing to userspace has several drawbacks: - Userspace sees the wrong %rip on the exit, e.g. if PIO emulation fails it will likely yell about the wrong address. - Single step exits to userspace for are effectively dropped as KVM_EXIT_DEBUG is overwritten with KVM_EXIT_IO. - Behavior of PIO emulation is different depending on whether it goes down the fast path or the slow path. Rather than skip the PIO instruction before exiting to userspace, snapshot the linear %rip and cancel PIO completion if the current value does not match the snapshot. For a 64-bit vCPU, i.e. the most common scenario, the snapshot and comparison has negligible overhead as VMCS.GUEST_RIP will be cached regardless, i.e. there is no extra VMREAD in this case. All other alternatives to snapshotting the linear %rip that don't rely on an explicit reset announcenment suffer from one corner case or another. For example, canceling PIO completion on any write to %rip fails if userspace does a save/restore of %rip, and attempting to avoid that issue by canceling PIO only if %rip changed then fails if PIO collides with the reset %rip. Attempting to zero in on the exact reset vector won't work for APs, which means adding more hooks such as the vCPU's MP_STATE, and so on and so forth. Checking for a linear %rip match technically suffers from corner cases, e.g. userspace could theoretically rewrite the underlying code page and expect a different instruction to execute, or the guest hardcodes a PIO reset at 0xfffffff0, but those are far, far outside of what can be considered normal operation.

commit 152482580a1b0accb60676063a1ac57b2d12daf6 upstream. kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is at this point in time an x86-specific hook for handling MMIO generation wraparound. x86 stashes 19 bits of the memslots generation number in its MMIO sptes in order to avoid full page fault walks for repeat faults on emulated MMIO addresses. Because only 19 bits are used, wrapping the MMIO generation number is possible, if unlikely. kvm_arch_memslots_updated() alerts x86 that the generation has changed so that it can invalidate all MMIO sptes in case the effective MMIO generation has wrapped so as to avoid using a stale spte, e.g. a (very) old spte that was created with generation==0. Given that the purpose of kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is to prevent consuming stale entries, it needs to be called before the new generation is propagated to memslots. Invalidating the MMIO sptes after updating memslots means that there is a window where a vCPU could dereference the new memslots generation, e.g. 0, and incorrectly reuse an old MMIO spte that was created with (pre-wrap) generation==0.

Bugzilla: 1671930 Emulation of certain instructions (VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, VMWRITE with memory operand, INVEPT, INVVPID) can incorrectly inject a page fault when passed an operand that points to an MMIO address. The page fault will use uninitialized kernel stack memory as the CR2 and error code. The right behavior would be to abort the VM with a KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR exit to userspace; however, it is not an easy fix, so for now just ensure that the error code and CR2 are zero.

commit 5cc244a20b86090c087073c124284381cdf47234 upstream. The single-step debugging of KVM guests on x86 is broken: if we run gdb 'stepi' command at the breakpoint when the guest interrupts are enabled, RIP always jumps to native_apic_mem_write(). Then other nasty effects follow. Long investigation showed that on Jun 7, 2017 the commit c8401dda ("KVM: x86: fix singlestepping over syscall") introduced the kvm_run.debug corruption: kvm_vcpu_do_singlestep() can be called without X86_EFLAGS_TF set.

commit 326e742533bf0a23f0127d8ea62fb558ba665f08 upstream. Since commit e79f245d ("X86/KVM: Properly update 'tsc_offset' to represent the running guest"), vcpu->arch.tsc_offset meaning was changed to always reflect the tsc_offset value set on active VMCS. Regardless if vCPU is currently running L1 or L2. However, above mentioned commit failed to also change kvm_vcpu_write_tsc_offset() to set vcpu->arch.tsc_offset correctly. This is because vmx_write_tsc_offset() could set the tsc_offset value in active VMCS to given offset parameter *plus vmcs12->tsc_offset*. However, kvm_vcpu_write_tsc_offset() just sets vcpu->arch.tsc_offset to given offset parameter. Without taking into account the possible addition of vmcs12->tsc_offset. (Same is true for SVM case). Fix this issue by changing kvm_x86_ops->write_tsc_offset() to return actually set tsc_offset in active VMCS and modify kvm_vcpu_write_tsc_offset() to set returned value in vcpu->arch.tsc_offset. In addition, rename write_tsc_offset() callback to write_l1_tsc_offset() to make it clear that it is meant to set L1 TSC offset.

Disabling access to reads of this MSR gives userspace the control to "expose" this platform-dependent information to guests in a clear way. As it exists today, guests that read this MSR would get unpopulated information if userspace hadn't already set it (and prior to this patch series, only the CPUID faulting information could have been populated). This existing interface could be confusing if guests don't handle the potential for incorrect/incomplete information gracefully (e.g. zero reported for base frequency).

In case L1 do not intercept L2 HLT or enter L2 in HLT activity-state, it is possible for a vCPU to be blocked while it is in guest-mode. According to Intel SDM 26.6.5 Interrupt-Window Exiting and Virtual-Interrupt Delivery: "These events wake the logical processor if it just entered the HLT state because of a VM entry". Therefore, if L1 enters L2 in HLT activity-state and L2 has a pending deliverable interrupt in vmcs12->guest_intr_status.RVI, then the vCPU should be waken from the HLT state and injected with the interrupt. In addition, if while the vCPU is blocked (while it is in guest-mode), it receives a nested posted-interrupt, then the vCPU should also be waken and injected with the posted interrupt. To handle these cases, this patch enhances kvm_vcpu_has_events() to also check if there is a pending interrupt in L2 virtual APICv provided by L1. That is, it evaluates if there is a pending virtual interrupt for L2 by checking RVI[7:4] > VPPR[7:4] as specified in Intel SDM 29.2.1 Evaluation of Pending Interrupts. Note that this also handles the case of nested posted-interrupt by the fact RVI is updated in vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt() which is called from kvm_vcpu_check_block() -> kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() -> kvm_vcpu_running() -> vmx_check_nested_events() -> vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt().

A VMX preemption timer value of '0' is guaranteed to cause a VMExit prior to the CPU executing any instructions in the guest. Use the preemption timer (if it's supported) to trigger immediate VMExit in place of the current method of sending a self-IPI. This ensures that pending VMExit injection to L1 occurs prior to executing any instructions in the guest (regardless of nesting level). When deferring VMExit injection, KVM generates an immediate VMExit from the (possibly nested) guest by sending itself an IPI. Because hardware interrupts are blocked prior to VMEnter and are unblocked (in hardware) after VMEnter, this results in taking a VMExit(INTR) before any guest instruction is executed. But, as this approach relies on the IPI being received before VMEnter executes, it only works as intended when KVM is running as L0. Because there are no architectural guarantees regarding when IPIs are delivered, when running nested the INTR may "arrive" long after L2 is running e.g. L0 KVM doesn't force an immediate switch to L1 to deliver an INTR. For the most part, this unintended delay is not an issue since the events being injected to L1 also do not have architectural guarantees regarding their timing. The notable exception is the VMX preemption timer[1], which is architecturally guaranteed to cause a VMExit prior to executing any instructions in the guest if the timer value is '0' at VMEnter. Specifically, the delay in injecting the VMExit causes the preemption timer KVM unit test to fail when run in a nested guest. Note: this approach is viable even on CPUs with a broken preemption timer, as broken in this context only means the timer counts at the wrong rate. There are no known errata affecting timer value of '0'. [1] I/O SMIs also have guarantees on when they arrive, but I have no idea if/how those are emulated in KVM.
