[PATCH 0/4] KVM: x86: Emulator _regs fixes and cleanups

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

 



Clean up and harden the use of the x86_emulate_ctxt._regs, which is
surrounded by a fair bit of magic.  This series was prompted by bug reports
by Kees and Robert where GCC-12 flags an out-of-bounds _regs access.  I'm
99% certain GCC-12 is wrong and is generating a false positive, but just in
case...

I didn't tag patch 2 with Fixes or Cc: stable@; if it turns out to "fix"
the GCC-12 compilation error, it's probably worth sending to v5.18 stable
tree (KVM hasn't changed, but the warning=>error was "introdued in v5.18
by commit e6148767825c ("Makefile: Enable -Warray-bounds")).

Sean Christopherson (4):
  KVM: x86: Grab regs_dirty in local 'unsigned long'
  KVM: x86: Harden _regs accesses to guard against buggy input
  KVM: x86: Omit VCPU_REGS_RIP from emulator's _regs array
  KVM: x86: Use 16-bit fields to track dirty/valid emulator GPRs
