KVM: s390: disable migration mode when dirty tracking is disabled

2023-03-11T15:39:58+00:00

commit f2d3155e2a6bac44d16f04415a321e8707d895c6 upstream. Migration mode is a VM attribute which enables tracking of changes in storage attributes (PGSTE). It assumes dirty tracking is enabled on all memslots to keep a dirty bitmap of pages with changed storage attributes. When enabling migration mode, we currently check that dirty tracking is enabled for all memslots. However, userspace can disable dirty tracking without disabling migration mode. Since migration mode is pointless with dirty tracking disabled, disable migration mode whenever userspace disables dirty tracking on any slot. Also update the documentation to clarify that dirty tracking must be enabled when enabling migration mode, which is already enforced by the code in kvm_s390_vm_start_migration(). Also highlight in the documentation for KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS that it can now fail with -EINVAL when dirty tracking is disabled while migration mode is on. Move all the error codes to a table so this stays readable. To disable migration mode, slots_lock should be held, which is taken in kvm_set_memory_region() and thus held in kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region(). Restructure the prepare code a bit so all the sanity checking is done before disabling migration mode. This ensures migration mode isn't disabled when some sanity check fails.

KVM: x86: Do not return host topology information from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID

2023-01-18T10:45:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 45e966fcca03ecdcccac7cb236e16eea38cc18af ] Passing the host topology to the guest is almost certainly wrong and will confuse the scheduler. In addition, several fields of these CPUID leaves vary on each processor; it is simply impossible to return the right values from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID in such a way that they can be passed to KVM_SET_CPUID2. The values that will most likely prevent confusion are all zeroes. Userspace will have to override it anyway if it wishes to present a specific topology to the guest.

KVM: s390: pv: don't allow userspace to set the clock under PV

2022-11-16T08:57:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6973091d1b50ab4042f6a2d495f59e9db3662ab8 ] When running under PV, the guest's TOD clock is under control of the ultravisor and the hypervisor isn't allowed to change it. Hence, don't allow userspace to change the guest's TOD clock by returning -EOPNOTSUPP. When userspace changes the guest's TOD clock, KVM updates its kvm.arch.epoch field and, in addition, the epoch field in all state descriptions of all VCPUs. But, under PV, the ultravisor will ignore the epoch field in the state description and simply overwrite it on next SIE exit with the actual guest epoch. This leads to KVM having an incorrect view of the guest's TOD clock: it has updated its internal kvm.arch.epoch field, but the ultravisor ignores the field in the state description. Whenever a guest is now waiting for a clock comparator, KVM will incorrectly calculate the time when the guest should wake up, possibly causing the guest to sleep for much longer than expected. With this change, kvm_s390_set_tod() will now take the kvm->lock to be able to call kvm_s390_pv_is_protected(). Since kvm_s390_set_tod_clock() also takes kvm->lock, use __kvm_s390_set_tod_clock() instead. The function kvm_s390_set_tod_clock is now unused, hence remove it. Update the documentation to indicate the TOD clock attr calls can now return -EOPNOTSUPP.

KVM: X86: MMU: Use the correct inherited permissions to get shadow page

2021-06-16T10:01:40+00:00

commit b1bd5cba3306691c771d558e94baa73e8b0b96b7 upstream. When computing the access permissions of a shadow page, use the effective permissions of the walk up to that point, i.e. the logic AND of its parents' permissions. Two guest PxE entries that point at the same table gfn need to be shadowed with different shadow pages if their parents' permissions are different. KVM currently uses the effective permissions of the last non-leaf entry for all non-leaf entries. Because all non-leaf SPTEs have full ("uwx") permissions, and the effective permissions are recorded only in role.access and merged into the leaves, this can lead to incorrect reuse of a shadow page and eventually to a missing guest protection page fault. For example, here is a shared pagetable: pgd[] pud[] pmd[] virtual address pointers /->pmd1(u--)->pte1(uw-)->page1 <- ptr1 (u--) /->pud1(uw-)--->pmd2(uw-)->pte2(uw-)->page2 <- ptr2 (uw-) pgd-| (shared pmd[] as above) \->pud2(u--)--->pmd1(u--)->pte1(uw-)->page1 <- ptr3 (u--) \->pmd2(uw-)->pte2(uw-)->page2 <- ptr4 (u--) pud1 and pud2 point to the same pmd table, so: - ptr1 and ptr3 points to the same page. - ptr2 and ptr4 points to the same page. (pud1 and pud2 here are pud entries, while pmd1 and pmd2 here are pmd entries) - First, the guest reads from ptr1 first and KVM prepares a shadow page table with role.access=u--, from ptr1's pud1 and ptr1's pmd1. "u--" comes from the effective permissions of pgd, pud1 and pmd1, which are stored in pt->access. "u--" is used also to get the pagetable for pud1, instead of "uw-". - Then the guest writes to ptr2 and KVM reuses pud1 which is present. The hypervisor set up a shadow page for ptr2 with pt->access is "uw-" even though the pud1 pmd (because of the incorrect argument to kvm_mmu_get_page in the previous step) has role.access="u--". - Then the guest reads from ptr3. The hypervisor reuses pud1's shadow pmd for pud2, because both use "u--" for their permissions. Thus, the shadow pmd already includes entries for both pmd1 and pmd2. - At last, the guest writes to ptr4. This causes no vmexit or pagefault, because pud1's shadow page structures included an "uw-" page even though its role.access was "u--". Any kind of shared pagetable might have the similar problem when in virtual machine without TDP enabled if the permissions are different from different ancestors. In order to fix the problem, we change pt->access to be an array, and any access in it will not include permissions ANDed from child ptes. The test code is: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20210603050537.19605-1-jiangshanlai@gmail.com/ Remember to test it with TDP disabled. The problem had existed long before the commit 41074d07c78b ("KVM: MMU: Fix inherited permissions for emulated guest pte updates"), and it is hard to find which is the culprit. So there is no fixes tag here.

KVM: x86: Protect userspace MSR filter with SRCU, and set atomically-ish

2021-03-30T12:31:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit b318e8decf6b9ef1bcf4ca06fae6d6a2cb5d5c5c ] Fix a plethora of issues with MSR filtering by installing the resulting filter as an atomic bundle instead of updating the live filter one range at a time. The KVM_X86_SET_MSR_FILTER ioctl() isn't truly atomic, as the hardware MSR bitmaps won't be updated until the next VM-Enter, but the relevant software struct is atomically updated, which is what KVM really needs. Similar to the approach used for modifying memslots, make arch.msr_filter a SRCU-protected pointer, do all the work configuring the new filter outside of kvm->lock, and then acquire kvm->lock only when the new filter has been vetted and created. That way vCPU readers either see the old filter or the new filter in their entirety, not some half-baked state. Yuan Yao pointed out a use-after-free in ksm_msr_allowed() due to a TOCTOU bug, but that's just the tip of the iceberg... - Nothing is __rcu annotated, making it nigh impossible to audit the code for correctness. - kvm_add_msr_filter() has an unpaired smp_wmb(). Violation of kernel coding style aside, the lack of a smb_rmb() anywhere casts all code into doubt. - kvm_clear_msr_filter() has a double free TOCTOU bug, as it grabs count before taking the lock. - kvm_clear_msr_filter() also has memory leak due to the same TOCTOU bug. The entire approach of updating the live filter is also flawed. While installing a new filter is inherently racy if vCPUs are running, fixing the above issues also makes it trivial to ensure certain behavior is deterministic, e.g. KVM can provide deterministic behavior for MSRs with identical settings in the old and new filters. An atomic update of the filter also prevents KVM from getting into a half-baked state, e.g. if installing a filter fails, the existing approach would leave the filter in a half-baked state, having already committed whatever bits of the filter were already processed.

KVM: arm64: Reject VM creation when the default IPA size is unsupported

2021-03-17T16:06:36+00:00

commit 7d717558dd5ef10d28866750d5c24ff892ea3778 upstream. KVM/arm64 has forever used a 40bit default IPA space, partially due to its 32bit heritage (where the only choice is 40bit). However, there are implementations in the wild that have a *cough* much smaller *cough* IPA space, which leads to a misprogramming of VTCR_EL2, and a guest that is stuck on its first memory access if userspace dares to ask for the default IPA setting (which most VMMs do). Instead, blundly reject the creation of such VM, as we can't satisfy the requirements from userspace (with a one-off warning). Also clarify the boot warning, and document that the VM creation will fail when an unsupported IPA size is provided. Although this is an ABI change, it doesn't really change much for userspace: - the guest couldn't run before this change, but no error was returned. At least userspace knows what is happening. - a memory slot that was accepted because it did fit the default IPA space now doesn't even get a chance to be registered. The other thing that is left doing is to convince userspace to actually use the IPA space setting instead of relying on the antiquated default.

KVM: mmu: Fix SPTE encoding of MMIO generation upper half

2020-12-12T00:18:43+00:00

Commit cae7ed3c2cb0 ("KVM: x86: Refactor the MMIO SPTE generation handling") cleaned up the computation of MMIO generation SPTE masks, however it introduced a bug how the upper part was encoded: SPTE bits 52-61 were supposed to contain bits 10-19 of the current generation number, however a missing shift encoded bits 1-10 there instead (mostly duplicating the lower part of the encoded generation number that then consisted of bits 1-9). In the meantime, the upper part was shrunk by one bit and moved by subsequent commits to become an upper half of the encoded generation number (bits 9-17 of bits 0-17 encoded in a SPTE). In addition to the above, commit 56871d444bc4 ("KVM: x86: fix overlap between SPTE_MMIO_MASK and generation") has changed the SPTE bit range assigned to encode the generation number and the total number of bits encoded but did not update them in the comment attached to their defines, nor in the KVM MMU doc.
