x86: kvm: use alternatives for VMCALL vs. VMMCALL if kernel text is read-only

2014-12-06T23:57:34Z

commit c1118b3602c2329671ad5ec8bdf8e374323d6343 upstream. On x86_64, kernel text mappings are mapped read-only with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. In that case, KVM will fail to patch VMCALL instructions to VMMCALL as required on AMD processors. The failure mode is currently a divide-by-zero exception, which obviously is a KVM bug that has to be fixed. However, picking the right instruction between VMCALL and VMMCALL will be faster and will help if you cannot upgrade the hypervisor.

uprobes, x86: Fix _TIF_UPROBE vs _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME

2014-12-06T23:57:16Z

commit 82975bc6a6df743b9a01810fb32cb65d0ec5d60b upstream. x86 call do_notify_resume on paranoid returns if TIF_UPROBE is set but not on non-paranoid returns. I suspect that this is a mistake and that the code only works because int3 is paranoid. Setting _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in the uprobe code was probably a workaround for the x86 bug. With that bug fixed, we can remove _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from the uprobes code.

x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SS

2014-12-06T23:57:15Z

commit 6f442be2fb22be02cafa606f1769fa1e6f894441 upstream. On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks. On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code. The first two cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs, and promoting them to double faults would be fine. This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment violation. This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.

KVM: x86: Check non-canonical addresses upon WRMSR

2014-11-14T18:10:28Z

commit 854e8bb1aa06c578c2c9145fa6bfe3680ef63b23 upstream. Upon WRMSR, the CPU should inject #GP if a non-canonical value (address) is written to certain MSRs. The behavior is "almost" identical for AMD and Intel (ignoring MSRs that are not implemented in either architecture since they would anyhow #GP). However, IA32_SYSENTER_ESP and IA32_SYSENTER_EIP cause #GP if non-canonical address is written on Intel but not on AMD (which ignores the top 32-bits). Accordingly, this patch injects a #GP on the MSRs which behave identically on Intel and AMD. To eliminate the differences between the architecutres, the value which is written to IA32_SYSENTER_ESP and IA32_SYSENTER_EIP is turned to canonical value before writing instead of injecting a #GP. Some references from Intel and AMD manuals: According to Intel SDM description of WRMSR instruction #GP is expected on WRMSR "If the source register contains a non-canonical address and ECX specifies one of the following MSRs: IA32_DS_AREA, IA32_FS_BASE, IA32_GS_BASE, IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE, IA32_LSTAR, IA32_SYSENTER_EIP, IA32_SYSENTER_ESP." According to AMD manual instruction manual: LSTAR/CSTAR (SYSCALL): "The WRMSR instruction loads the target RIP into the LSTAR and CSTAR registers. If an RIP written by WRMSR is not in canonical form, a general-protection exception (#GP) occurs." IA32_GS_BASE and IA32_FS_BASE (WRFSBASE/WRGSBASE): "The address written to the base field must be in canonical form or a #GP fault will occur." IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE (SWAPGS): "The address stored in the KernelGSbase MSR must be in canonical form." This patch fixes CVE-2014-3610.

KVM: x86: Prevent host from panicking on shared MSR writes.

2014-11-14T18:10:28Z

commit 8b3c3104c3f4f706e99365c3e0d2aa61b95f969f upstream. The previous patch blocked invalid writes directly when the MSR is written. As a precaution, prevent future similar mistakes by gracefulling handle GPs caused by writes to shared MSRs.

x86: Reject x32 executables if x32 ABI not supported

2014-11-14T18:10:23Z

commit 0e6d3112a4e95d55cf6dca88f298d5f4b8f29bd1 upstream. It is currently possible to execve() an x32 executable on an x86_64 kernel that has only ia32 compat enabled. However all its syscalls will fail, even _exit(). This usually causes it to segfault. Change the ELF compat architecture check so that x32 executables are rejected if we don't support the x32 ABI.

kvm: x86: fix stale mmio cache bug

2014-10-30T16:43:06Z

commit 56f17dd3fbc44adcdbc3340fe3988ddb833a47a7 upstream. The following events can lead to an incorrect KVM_EXIT_MMIO bubbling up to userspace: (1) Guest accesses gpa X without a memory slot. The gfn is cached in struct kvm_vcpu_arch (mmio_gfn). On Intel EPT-enabled hosts, KVM sets the SPTE write-execute-noread so that future accesses cause EPT_MISCONFIGs. (2) Host userspace creates a memory slot via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION covering the page just accessed. (3) Guest attempts to read or write to gpa X again. On Intel, this generates an EPT_MISCONFIG. The memory slot generation number that was incremented in (2) would normally take care of this but we fast path mmio faults through quickly_check_mmio_pf(), which only checks the per-vcpu mmio cache. Since we hit the cache, KVM passes a KVM_EXIT_MMIO up to userspace. This patch fixes the issue by using the memslot generation number to validate the mmio cache.

x86: Tell irq work about self IPI support

commit 3010279f0fc36f0388872203e63ca49912f648fd upstream. x86 supports irq work self-IPIs when local apic is available. This is partly known on runtime so lets implement arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() accordingly. This should be safely called after setup_arch().
