commit 78ee2d50185a037b3d2452a97f3dad69c3f7f389 upstream.

In sev_dbg_crypt(), the per-iteration transfer length is bounded by
the source page offset (PAGE_SIZE - s_off) but not by the destination
page offset (PAGE_SIZE - d_off).  When d_off &gt; s_off, the encrypt
path (__sev_dbg_encrypt_user) performs a read-modify-write using a
single-page intermediate buffer (dst_tpage):

  1. __sev_dbg_decrypt() expands the size to round_up(len + (d_off &amp; 15), 16)
     before issuing the PSP command.  If len + (d_off &amp; 15) &gt; PAGE_SIZE,
     the PSP writes beyond the end of the 4096-byte dst_tpage allocation.

  2. The subsequent memcpy()/copy_from_user() into
     page_address(dst_tpage) + (d_off &amp; 15) of 'len' bytes overflows
     by up to 15 bytes under the same condition.

Trigger example: s_off = 0, d_off = 1, debug.len = PAGE_SIZE -
the PSP is instructed to write round_up(4097, 16) = 4112 bytes to
a 4096-byte buffer.

Fix by also bounding len by (PAGE_SIZE - d_off), the same check that
sev_send_update_data() already performs for its single-page guest
region.

commit 4721f8160f17554b003e8928bb61e6c9b2fe92a3 upstream.

When checking if a VP ID is included in a sparse bank set, explicitly check
that the ID can actually be contained in a sparse bank (the TLFS allows for
a maximum of 64 banks of 64 vCPUs each).  When handling a paravirtual TLB
flush for L2, the VP ID is copied verbatim from the enlightened VMCS,
without any bounds check, i.e. isn't guaranteed to be under the limit of
4096.

Failure to check the bounds of the VP ID leads to an out-of-bounds read
when testing the sparse bank, and super strictly speaking could lead to KVM
performing an unnecessary TLB flush for an L2 vCPU.

<title>KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure hugepage is in by slot before checking max mapping level</title>

<id>urn:sha1:18587f9831612e24cd8f24be1ec15478feff7abc</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ef057cbf825e03b63f6edf5980f96abf3c53089d upstream.

When recovering hugepages in the shadow MMU, verify that the base gfn of
the shadow page is actually contained within the target memslot, *before*
querying the max mapping level given the shadow page's gfn.  Failure to
pre-check the validity of the gfn can lead to an out-of-bounds access to
the slot's lpage_info (which typically manifests as a host #PF because the
lpage_info is vmalloc'd) if the guest creates a hugepage mapping (in its
PTEs) that extends "below" the bounds of a memslot.

When faulting in memory for a guest, and the size of the guest mapping is
greater than KVM's (current) max mapping, then KVM will create a "direct"
shadow page (direct in that there are no gPTEs to shadow, and so the target
gfn is a direct calculation given the base gfn of the shadow page).  The
hugepage recovery flow looks for such direct shadow pages, as forcing 4KiB
mappings when dirty logging generates the guest &gt; host mapping size case.
When the 4KiB restriction is lifted, then KVM can replace the shadow page
with a hugepage.

But if KVM originally used a smaller mapping than the guest because the
range of memory covered by the guest hugepage exceeds the bounds of a
memslot, then KVM will link a direct shadow page with a gfn that is outside
the bounds of the memslot being used to fault in memory.  The rmap entry
added for the leaf mapping is correct and within bounds, but the gfn of the
leaf SPTE's parent shadow page will be out of bounds.

Don't bother pre-checking the bounds of the potential hugepage, i.e. don't
check that e.g. sp-&gt;gfn + KVM_PAGES_PER_HPAGE(sp-&gt;role.level + 1) is also
within the memslot, as the checks performed by kvm_mmu_max_mapping_level()
are a superset of the basic bounds checks.  I.e. pre-checking the full
range would be a dubious micro-optimization.

commit 81ccda30b4e83d8f5cc4fd50503c44e3a33abfeb upstream.

Commit 0cb2af2ea66ad ("KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due
to unexpected GFN") fixed a shadow paging mismatch between stored and
computed GFNs; the bug could be triggered by changing a PDE mapping from
outside the guest, and then deleting a memslot.  The rmap_remove()
call would miss entries created after the PDE change because the GFN
of the leaf SPTE does not match the GFN of the struct kvm_mmu_page.

A similar hole however remains if the modified PDE points to a non-leaf
page.  In this case the gfn can be made to match, but the role does not
match: the original large 2MB page creates a kvm_mmu_page with direct=1,
while the new 4KB needs a kvm_mmu_page with direct=0.  However,
kvm_mmu_get_child_sp() does not compare the role, and therefore reuses
the page.

The next step is installing a leaf (4KB) SPTE on the new path which
records an rmap entry under the gfn resolved by the walk.  But when
that child is zapped its parent kvm_mmu_page has direct=1 and
kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn() computes the gfn for the 4KB page as
sp-&gt;gfn + index instead of using sp-&gt;shadowed_translation[] (or sp-&gt;gfns[]
in older kernels).  It therefore fails to remove the recorded entry.

When the memslot is dropped the shadow page is freed but the rmap
entry survives, as in the scenario that was already fixed.  Code that
later walks that gfn (dirty logging, MMU notifier invalidation, and
so on) dereferences an sptep that lies in the freed page, causing the
use-after-free.

Decouple synchronizing the GHCB SA from freeing/unpinning the SA, so that
the free/unpin path can be reused when freeing a vCPU.

Opportunistically add a WARN to harden KVM against stomping over (and thus
leaking) an already-allocated scratch area.

<title>rust: kasan/kbuild: fix rustc-option when cross-compiling</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a0a4600b396b09a0788352cf6514efecc18867da</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4a44b17406cb5a93f90af3df9392b3a45eb336fb upstream.

The Makefile version of rustc-option currently checks whether the option
exists for the host target instead of the target actually being compiled
for. It was done this way in commit 46e24a545cdb ("rust: kasan/kbuild:
fix missing flags on first build") to avoid a circular dependency on
target.json. However, because of this, rustc-option currently does not
function when cross-compiling from x86_64 to aarch64 if
CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK is enabled. This is because KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS
contains -Zfixed-x18 under this configuration. Since that flag does not
exist on the host target, rustc-option runs into a compilation failure
every time, leading to all flags being rejected as unsupported.

To fix this, update rustc-option to pass a --target parameter so that
the host target is not used. For targets using target.json, use a
built-in target that is as close as possible to the target created with
target.json to avoid the circular dependency on target.json.

One scenario where this causes a boot failure:
* Cross-compiled from x86_64 to aarch64.
* With CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK=y
* With CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y
* With CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=n
Then the resulting kernel image will fail to boot when it first calls
into Rust code with a crash along the lines of "Unable to handle kernel
paging request at virtual address 0ffffffc08541796". This is because the
call threshold is not specified, so rustc will inline kasan operations,
but the kasan shadow offset is not specified, which leads to the inlined
kasan instructions being incorrect.

Note that the -Zsanitizer=kernel-hwaddress parameter itself does not
lead to a rustc-option failure despite being aarch64-specific because
RUSTFLAGS_KASAN has not yet been added to KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS when
rustc-option is evaluated by the kasan Makefile.

commit b2849bec936be642b5420801f902337f2507648e upstream.

The APICv (apic-&gt;apicv_active) can be activated or deactivated at runtime,
for instance, because of APICv inhibit reasons. Intel VMX employs different
mechanisms to virtualize LAPIC based on whether APICv is active.

When APICv is activated at runtime, GUEST_INTR_STATUS is used to configure
and report the current pending IRR and ISR states. Unless a specific vector
is explicitly included in EOI_EXIT_BITMAP, its EOI will not be trapped to
KVM. Intel VMX automatically clears the corresponding ISR bit based on the
GUEST_INTR_STATUS.SVI field.

When APICv is deactivated at runtime, the VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD is used
to specify the next interrupt vector to invoke upon VM-entry. The
VMX IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD is used to report un-invoked vectors on
VM-exit. EOIs are always trapped to KVM, so the software can manually clear
pending ISR bits.

There are scenarios where, with APICv activated at runtime, a guest-issued
EOI may not be able to clear the pending ISR bit.

Taking vector 236 as an example, here is one scenario.

1. Suppose APICv is inactive. Vector 236 is pending in the IRR.
2. To handle KVM_REQ_EVENT, KVM moves vector 236 from the IRR to the ISR,
and configures the VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD via vmx_inject_irq().
3. After VM-entry, vector 236 is invoked through the guest IDT. At this
point, the data in VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD is no longer valid. The guest
interrupt handler for vector 236 is invoked.
4. Suppose a VM exit occurs very early in the guest interrupt handler,
before the EOI is issued.
5. Nothing is reported through the IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD because
vector 236 has already been invoked in the guest.
6. Now, suppose APICv is activated. Before the next VM-entry, KVM calls
kvm_vcpu_update_apicv() to activate APICv.
7. Unfortunately, GUEST_INTR_STATUS.SVI is not configured, although
vector 236 is still pending in the ISR.
8. After VM-entry, the guest finally issues the EOI for vector 236.
However, because SVI is not configured, vector 236 is not cleared.
9. ISR is stalled forever on vector 236.

Here is another scenario.

1. Suppose APICv is inactive. Vector 236 is pending in the IRR.
2. To handle KVM_REQ_EVENT, KVM moves vector 236 from the IRR to the ISR,
and configures the VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD via vmx_inject_irq().
3. VM-exit occurs immediately after the next VM-entry. The vector 236 is
not invoked through the guest IDT. Instead, it is saved to the
IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD during the VM-exit.
4. KVM calls kvm_queue_interrupt() to re-queue the un-invoked vector 236
into vcpu-&gt;arch.interrupt. A KVM_REQ_EVENT is requested.
5. Now, suppose APICv is activated. Before the next VM-entry, KVM calls
kvm_vcpu_update_apicv() to activate APICv.
6. Although APICv is now active, KVM still uses the legacy
VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD to re-inject vector 236. GUEST_INTR_STATUS.SVI is
not configured.
7. After the next VM-entry, vector 236 is invoked through the guest IDT.
Finally, an EOI occurs. However, due to the lack of GUEST_INTR_STATUS.SVI
configuration, vector 236 is not cleared from the ISR.
8. ISR is stalled forever on vector 236.

Using QEMU as an example, vector 236 is stuck in ISR forever.

The issue isn't applicable to AMD SVM as KVM simply writes vmcb01 directly
irrespective of whether L1 (vmcs01) or L2 (vmcb02) is active (unlike VMX,
there is no need/cost to switch between VMCBs).  In addition,
APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_IRQWIN ensures AMD SVM AVIC is not activated until
the last interrupt is EOI'd.

Fix the bug by configuring Intel VMX GUEST_INTR_STATUS.SVI if APICv is
activated at runtime.

<title>x86/mm: Disable broadcast TLB flush when PCID is disabled</title>

[ Upstream commit 44126343d58c68adaa8343fbf1c07dd20078c35e ]

Booting with "nopcid" clears X86_FEATURE_PCID and keeps CR4.PCIDE from being
set to one. On AMD CPUs that support INVLPGB, broadcast TLB flushing remains
enabled.

There are two checks that decide whether the global ASID code runs,
mm_global_asid() and consider_global_asid(), that key off of the
X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB feature. Once an mm becomes active on more than three
CPUs, consider_global_asid() assigns it a global ASID, after which
flush_tlb_mm_range() takes the broadcast_tlb_flush() path using a non-zero
PCID. Issuing an INVLPGB with a non-zero PCID while CR4.PCIDE is not set
results in a #GP:

  Oops: general protection fault, kernel NULL pointer dereference 0x1: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

   do_user_addr_fault
   exc_page_fault
   asm_exc_page_fault

All processors that support broadcast TLB invalidation also have PCID support,
so it is only the "nopcid" scenario that is of concern. In this situation just
disable the broadcast TLB support using the CPUID dependency support by making
X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB dependent on X86_FEATURE_PCID.

commit a17dc12bfed8868e6a86f3b45c16065a70641acb upstream.

With CONFIG_CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING enabled on an x86 retbleed-affected platform
(eg: Skylake), with retbleed=stuff, registering a dynamic ftrace trampoline
crashes on the first call into the traced function:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff88817ae18880

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

This small reproducer allows to easily trigger the crash:

  # echo 'p __x64_sys_clock_nanosleep' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events
  # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kprobes/p___x64_sys_clock_nanosleep_0/enable
  # usleep 1

Monitoring the crash under GDB points to the exact instruction in charge of
incrementing the call depth:

  sarq $5, %gs:__x86_call_depth(%rip)

This instruction matches the one inserted by the ftrace_regs_caller from
ftrace_64.S. This emitted code was likely working fine until the introduction
of

  59bec00ace28 ("x86/percpu: Introduce %rip-relative addressing to PER_CPU_VAR()"):

it has made the call depth accounting addressing relative to $rip, instead of
being based on an absolute address.

As this code exact location depends on where the trampoline lives in memory,
the corresponding displacement needs to be adjusted at runtime to actually
correctly find the per-cpu __x86_call_depth value, otherwise the targeted
address is wrong, leading to the page fault seen above.

Fix the %rip-relative displacement of the copied CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT
instruction (from ftrace_regs_caller) by calling text_poke_apply_relocation(),
as it is done for example by the x86 BPF JIT compiler through
x86_call_depth_emit_accounting(). This corrects both CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT slots,
in ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller.

commit ebe4b2dc9cfbfb2d8f665667c4d08f4c6c9bec05 upstream.

Stop explicitly passing the PSC buffer to snp_begin_psc(): it *must*
be the scratch area.  This will allow fixing a variety of bugs without
further complicating the code.

No functional change intended.
