From: Tao Xu <tao3.xu@xxxxxxxxx>
There are cases that malicious virtual machines can cause CPU stuck (due
to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when
nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and
IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or
other VMs.
VMM can enable notify VM exit that a VM exit generated if no event
window occurs in VM non-root mode for a specified amount of time (notify
window).
Feature enabling:
- The new vmcs field SECONDARY_EXEC_NOTIFY_VM_EXITING is introduced to
enable this feature. VMM can set NOTIFY_WINDOW vmcs field to adjust
the expected notify window.
- Add a new KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT so that user space
can query and enable this feature in per-VM scope. Notify window is
also provided from user space during this process.
- if notify_window < 0, feature disabled;
- if notify_window >= 0, feature enabled;
- There's a possibility, however small, that a notify VM exit happens
with VM_CONTEXT_INVALID set in exit qualification, which means VM
context is corrupted. To avoid the false positive and a well-behaved
guest gets killed, set notify window as -1 to disable this feature by
default.
- It's safe to even set notify window to zero since an internal
hardware threshold is added to vmcs.notifiy_window.
VM exit handling:
- Introduce a vcpu state notify_window_exits to records the count of
notify VM exits and expose it through the debugfs.
- Warn the notify vm exit in kernel log since host can a) get an
indication that a guest is potentially malicious and b) rule out (or
confirm) notify VM exits as the source of degraded guest performance.
- Notify VM exit can happen incident to delivery of a vector event.
Allow it in KVM.
- Once VM_CONTEXT_INVALID bit is set, exit to user space for further
handling.
Nested handling
- Nested notify VM exits are not supported yet. Keep the same notify
window control in vmcs02 as vmcs01, so that L1 can't escape the
restriction of notify VM exits through launching L2 VM.
- When L2 VM is context invalid and user space should synthesize a shutdown
event to a vcpu. KVM makes KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT request accordingly
and it would synthesize a nested triple fault exit to L1 hypervisor to
kill L2.
Notify VM exit is defined in latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set
Extensions Programming Reference, chapter 9.2.
TODO: Allow to change the window size (to enable the feature) at runtime,
which can make it more flexible to utilize the feature.
