[PATCH 0/7] KVM: arm64: Hypervisor stack enhancements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series is based on v5.17-rc3 and adds the following stack features to
the KVM nVHE hypervisor:

== Hyp Stack Guard Pages ==

Based on the technique used by arm64 VMAP_STACK to detect overflow.
i.e. the stack is aligned to twice its size which ensure that the 
'stack shift' bit of any valid SP is 0. The 'stack shift' bit can be
tested in the exception entry to detect overflow without corrupting GPRs.

== Hyp Stack Unwinder ==

Based on the arm64 kernel stack unwinder
(See: arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c)

The unwinding and dumping of the hyp stack is not enabled by default and
depends on CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG to avoid potential information leaks.

When CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG is enabled the host stage 2 protection is
disabled, allowing the host to read the hypervisor stack pages and unwind
the stack from EL1. This allows us to print the hypervisor stacktrace
before panicking the host; as shown below:

           [<ffffffc01161460c>] __kvm_nvhe_overflow_stack+0x10/0x34!
