x86/tls: Don't validate lm in set_thread_area() after all

2015-01-08T18:27:47Z

commit 3fb2f4237bb452eb4e98f6a5dbd5a445b4fed9d0 upstream. It turns out that there's a lurking ABI issue. GCC, when compiling this in a 32-bit program: struct user_desc desc = { .entry_number = idx, .base_addr = base, .limit = 0xfffff, .seg_32bit = 1, .contents = 0, /* Data, grow-up */ .read_exec_only = 0, .limit_in_pages = 1, .seg_not_present = 0, .useable = 0, }; will leave .lm uninitialized. This means that anything in the kernel that reads user_desc.lm for 32-bit tasks is unreliable. Revert the .lm check in set_thread_area(). The value never did anything in the first place.

kvm: vmx: handle invvpid vm exit gracefully

2014-11-14T18:10:29Z

commit a642fc305053cc1c6e47e4f4df327895747ab485 upstream. On systems with invvpid instruction support (corresponding bit in IA32_VMX_EPT_VPID_CAP MSR is set) guest invocation of invvpid causes vm exit, which is currently not handled and results in propagation of unknown exit to userspace. Fix this by installing an invvpid vm exit handler. This is CVE-2014-3646. Signed-off-by: Petr Matousek Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf kvm: Use defines of kvm events

2014-07-16T20:57:32Z

Currently perf-kvm uses string literals for kvm event names, but it works only for x86, because other architectures may have other names for those events. To reduce dependence on architecture, we add file with defines for: - kvm_entry and kvm_exit events, - exit reason field name in kvm_exit event, - length of exit reasons strings, - vcpu_id field name in kvm trace events, and replace literals in perf-kvm.
