      KVM: Don't automatically expose the TSC deadline timer in cpuid · 4d25a066
      Jan Kiszka 提交于
      Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set
      unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants.
      
      This is broken in several ways:
       - if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC
         deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break
       - live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline
         timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet;
         breaking it
       - guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail.
      
      Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace.
      Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee
      will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not
      KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
      
      Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.
      
      [avi: add the KVM_CAP + documentation]

      KVM: x86: Prevent starting PIT timers in the absence of irqchip support · 0924ab2c
      Jan Kiszka 提交于
      User space may create the PIT and forgets about setting up the irqchips.
      In that case, firing PIT IRQs will crash the host:
      
      BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000128
      IP: [<ffffffffa10f6280>] kvm_set_irq+0x30/0x170 [kvm]
      ...
      Call Trace:
       [<ffffffffa11228c1>] pit_do_work+0x51/0xd0 [kvm]
       [<ffffffff81071431>] process_one_work+0x111/0x4d0
       [<ffffffff81071bb2>] worker_thread+0x152/0x340

       [<ffffffff815a4474>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10
      
      Prevent this by checking the irqchip mode before starting a timer. We
      can't deny creating the PIT if the irqchips aren't set up yet as
      current user land expects this order to work.
