2015-07-03KVM: nSVM: Check for NRIPS support before updating control fieldBandan Das
commit f104765b4f81fd74d69e0eb161e89096deade2db upstream. If hardware doesn't support DecodeAssist - a feature that provides more information about the intercept in the VMCB, KVM decodes the instruction and then updates the next_rip vmcb control field. However, NRIP support itself depends on cpuid Fn8000_000A_EDX[NRIPS]. Since skip_emulated_instruction() doesn't verify nrip support before accepting control.next_rip as valid, avoid writing this field if support isn't present.

2014-11-14KVM: x86: Check non-canonical addresses upon WRMSRNadav Amit
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.

2014-03-23KVM: SVM: fix cr8 intercept windowRadim Krčmář
commit 596f3142d2b7be307a1652d59e7b93adab918437 upstream. We always disable cr8 intercept in its handler, but only re-enable it if handling KVM_REQ_EVENT, so there can be a window where we do not intercept cr8 writes, which allows an interrupt to disrupt a higher priority task. Fix this by disabling intercepts in the same function that re-enables them when needed. This fixes BSOD in Windows 2008.

2013-04-16KVM: VMX: Enable acknowledge interupt on vmexitYang Zhang
The "acknowledge interrupt on exit" feature controls processor behavior for external interrupt acknowledgement. When this control is set, the processor acknowledges the interrupt controller to acquire the interrupt vector on VM exit. After enabling this feature, an interrupt which arrived when target cpu is running in vmx non-root mode will be handled by vmx handler instead of handler in idt. Currently, vmx handler only fakes an interrupt stack and jump to idt table to let real handler to handle it. Further, we will recognize the interrupt and only delivery the interrupt which not belong to current vcpu through idt table. The interrupt which belonged to current vcpu will be handled inside vmx handler. This will reduce the interrupt handle cost of KVM. Also, interrupt enable logic is changed if this feature is turnning on: Before this patch, hypervior call local_irq_enable() to enable it directly. Now IF bit is set on interrupt stack frame, and will be enabled on a return from interrupt handler if exterrupt interrupt exists. If no external interrupt, still call local_irq_enable() to enable it.

2013-03-13KVM: x86: Rework INIT and SIPI handlingJan Kiszka
A VCPU sending INIT or SIPI to some other VCPU races for setting the remote VCPU's mp_state. When we were unlucky, KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED was overwritten by kvm_emulate_halt and, thus, got lost. This introduces APIC events for those two signals, keeping them in kvm_apic until kvm_apic_accept_events is run over the target vcpu context. kvm_apic_has_events reports to kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable if there are pending events, thus if vcpu blocking should end. The patch comes with the side effect of effectively obsoleting KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED. We still accept it from user space, but immediately translate it to KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED + KVM_APIC_SIPI. The vcpu itself will no longer enter the KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED state. That also means we no longer exit to user space after receiving a SIPI event. Furthermore, we already reset the VCPU on INIT, only fixing up the code segment later on when SIPI arrives. Moreover, we fix INIT handling for the BSP: it never enter wait-for-SIPI but directly starts over on INIT.

Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware. This needs some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path: - for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest. - A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also considered in above update action, since hardware will decide when to inject it at right time.

2012-11-30KVM: x86: Emulate IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSRWill Auld
CPUID.7.0.EBX[1]=1 indicates IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR 0x3b is supported Basic design is to emulate the MSR by allowing reads and writes to a guest vcpu specific location to store the value of the emulated MSR while adding the value to the vmcs tsc_offset. In this way the IA32_TSC_ADJUST value will be included in all reads to the TSC MSR whether through rdmsr or rdtsc. This is of course as long as the "use TSC counter offsetting" VM-execution control is enabled as well as the IA32_TSC_ADJUST control. However, because hardware will only return the TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST + vmsc tsc_offset for a guest process when it does and rdtsc (with the correct settings) the value of our virtualized IA32_TSC_ADJUST must be stored in one of these three locations. The argument against storing it in the actual MSR is performance. This is likely to be seldom used while the save/restore is required on every transition. IA32_TSC_ADJUST was created as a way to solve some issues with writing TSC itself so that is not an option either. The remaining option, defined above as our solution has the problem of returning incorrect vmcs tsc_offset values (unless we intercept and fix, not done here) as mentioned above. However, more problematic is that storing the data in vmcs tsc_offset will have a different semantic effect on the system than does using the actual MSR. This is illustrated in the following example: The hypervisor set the IA32_TSC_ADJUST, then the guest sets it and a guest process performs a rdtsc. In this case the guest process will get TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST_hyperviser + vmsc tsc_offset including IA32_TSC_ADJUST_guest. While the total system semantics changed the semantics as seen by the guest do not and hence this will not cause a problem.

The specific change is to add a struct pointer parameter that points to (index, data, caller) information rather than having this information passed as individual parameters. The initial use for this capability is for updating the IA32_TSC_ADJUST msr while setting the tsc value. It is anticipated that this capability is useful for other tasks.

2012-03-08KVM: Infrastructure for software and hardware based TSC rate scalingZachary Amsden
This requires some restructuring; rather than use 'virtual_tsc_khz' to indicate whether hardware rate scaling is in effect, we consider each VCPU to always have a virtual TSC rate. Instead, there is new logic above the vendor-specific hardware scaling that decides whether it is even necessary to use and updates all rate variables used by common code. This means we can simply query the virtual rate at any point, which is needed for software rate scaling. There is also now a threshold added to the TSC rate scaling; minor differences and variations of measured TSC rate can accidentally provoke rate scaling to be used when it is not needed. Instead, we have a tolerance variable called tsc_tolerance_ppm, which is the maximum variation from user requested rate at which scaling will be used. The default is 250ppm, which is the half the threshold for NTP adjustment, allowing for some hardware variation. In the event that hardware rate scaling is not available, we can kludge a bit by forcing TSC catchup to turn on when a faster than hardware speed has been requested, but there is nothing available yet for the reverse case; this requires a trap and emulate software implementation for RDTSC, which is still forthcoming.

2012-03-05KVM: SVM: Add support for AMD's OSVW feature in guestsBoris Ostrovsky
In some cases guests should not provide workarounds for errata even when the physical processor is affected. For example, because of erratum 400 on family 10h processors a Linux guest will read an MSR (resulting in VMEXIT) before going to idle in order to avoid getting stuck in a non-C0 state. This is not necessary: HLT and IO instructions are intercepted and therefore there is no reason for erratum 400 workaround in the guest.

This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit in the performance counter control register when SVM is not enabled.

On resume, spurious exceptions may then be injected into the guest. We were able to reproduce this bug when our guest triggered #SS and the handler were supposed to run over a separate task with not yet touched stack pages. Work around the issue by continuing to emulate task switches even in NPT mode. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2011-09-25KVM: SVM: Fix TSC MSR read in nested SVMNadav Har'El
When the TSC MSR is read by an L2 guest (when L1 allowed this MSR to be read without exit), we need to return L2's notion of the TSC, not L1's. The current code incorrectly returned L1 TSC, because svm_get_msr() was also used in x86.c where this was assumed, but now that these places call the new svm_read_l1_tsc(), the MSR read can be fixed.

2011-09-25KVM: L1 TSC handlingNadav Har'El
KVM assumed in several places that reading the TSC MSR returns the value for L1. This is incorrect, because when L2 is running, the correct TSC read exit emulation is to return L2's value. We therefore add a new x86_ops function, read_l1_tsc, to use in places that specifically need to read the L1 TSC, NOT the TSC of the current level of guest. Note that one change, of one line in kvm_arch_vcpu_load, is made redundant by a different patch sent by Zachary Amsden (and not yet applied): kvm_arch_vcpu_load() should not read the guest TSC, and if it didn't, of course we didn't have to change the call of kvm_get_msr() to read_l1_tsc().

2011-09-25KVM: MMU: Do not unconditionally read PDPTE from guest memoryAvi Kivity
Architecturally, PDPTEs are cached in the PDPTRs when CR3 is reloaded. On SVM, it is not possible to implement this, but on VMX this is possible and was indeed implemented until nested SVM changed this to unconditionally read PDPTEs dynamically. This has noticable impact when running PAE guests. Fix by changing the MMU to read PDPTRs from the cache, falling back to reading from memory for the nested MMU.

2011-09-25KVM: Use __print_symbolic() for vmexit tracepointsStefan Hajnoczi
The vmexit tracepoints format the exit_reason to make it human-readable. Since the exit_reason depends on the instruction set (vmx or svm), formatting is handled with ftrace_print_symbols_seq() by referring to the appropriate exit reason table. However, the ftrace_print_symbols_seq() function is not meant to be used directly in tracepoints since it does not export the formatting table which userspace tools like trace-cmd and perf use to format traces. In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation). Other userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar trouble. To avoid significant changes to the kvm_exit tracepoint, this patch moves the vmx and svm exit reason tables into arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and selects the right table with __print_symbolic() depending on the instruction set. Note that __print_symbolic() is designed for exporting the formatting table to userspace and allows trace-cmd and perf to work.

2011-09-25KVM: Record instruction set in all vmexit tracepointsStefan Hajnoczi
The kvm_exit tracepoint recently added the isa argument to aid decoding exit_reason. The semantics of exit_reason depend on the instruction set (vmx or svm) and the isa argument allows traces to be analyzed on other machines. Add the isa argument to kvm_nested_vmexit and kvm_nested_vmexit_inject so these tracepoints can also be self-describing.

2011-07-12KVM: nVMX: Allow setting the VMXE bit in CR4Nadav Har'El
This patch allows the guest to enable the VMXE bit in CR4, which is a prerequisite to running VMXON. Whether to allow setting the VMXE bit now depends on the architecture (svm or vmx), so its checking has moved to kvm_x86_ops->set_cr4(). This function now returns an int: If kvm_x86_ops->set_cr4() returns 1, __kvm_set_cr4() will also return 1, and this will cause kvm_set_cr4() will throw a #GP. Turning on the VMXE bit is allowed only when the nested VMX feature is enabled, and turning it off is forbidden after a vmxon.
