      KVM: arm/arm64: Move timer save/restore out of the hyp code · 688c50aa
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      As we are about to be lazy with saving and restoring the timer
      registers, we prepare by moving all possible timer configuration logic
      out of the hyp code.  All virtual timer registers can be programmed from
      EL1 and since the arch timer is always a level triggered interrupt we
      can safely do this with interrupts disabled in the host kernel on the
      way to the guest without taking vtimer interrupts in the host kernel
      (yet).
      
      The downside is that the cntvoff register can only be programmed from
      hyp mode, so we jump into hyp mode and back to program it.  This is also
      safe, because the host kernel doesn't use the virtual timer in the KVM
      code.  It may add a little performance performance penalty, but only
      until following commits where we move this operation to vcpu load/put.

      KVM: arm: plug potential guest hardware debug leakage · 661e6b02
      Zhichao Huang 提交于
      Hardware debugging in guests is not intercepted currently, it means
      that a malicious guest can bring down the entire machine by writing
      to the debug registers.
      
      This patch enable trapping of all debug registers, preventing the
      guests to access the debug registers. This includes access to the
      debug mode(DBGDSCR) in the guest world all the time which could
      otherwise mess with the host state. Reads return 0 and writes are
      ignored (RAZ_WI).
      
      The result is the guest cannot detect any working hardware based debug
      support. As debug exceptions are still routed to the guest normal
      debug using software based breakpoints still works.
      
      To support debugging using hardware registers we need to implement a
      debug register aware world switch as well as special trapping for
      registers that may affect the host state.
