[PATCH v4 00/24] KVM: x86: Event/exception fixes and cleanups

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

 



The main goal of this series is to fix KVM's longstanding bug of not
honoring L1's exception intercepts wants when handling an exception that
occurs during delivery of a different exception.  E.g. if L0 and L1 are
using shadow paging, and L2 hits a #PF, and then hits another #PF while
vectoring the first #PF due to _L1_ not having a shadow page for the IDT,
KVM needs to check L1's intercepts before morphing the #PF => #PF => #DF
so that the #PF is routed to L1, not injected into L2 as a #DF.

nVMX has hacked around the bug for years by overriding the #PF injector
for shadow paging to go straight to VM-Exit, and nSVM has started doing
the same.  The hacks mostly work, but they're incomplete, confusing, and
lead to other hacky code, e.g. bailing from the emulator because #PF
injection forced a VM-Exit and suddenly KVM is back in L1.

v4:
 - Collect reviews. [Maxim]
 - Fix a bug where an intermediate patch dropped the async #PF token
   and used a stale payload. [Maxim]
 - Tweak comments to call out that AMD CPUs generate error codes with
   bits 31:16 != 0. [Maxim]

v3:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220715204226.3655170-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
 - Collect reviews. [Maxim, Jim]
 - Split a few patches into more consumable chunks. [Maxim]
 - Document that KVM doesn't correctly handle SMI+MTF (or SMI priority). [Maxim]
 - Add comment to document the instruction boundary (event window) aspect
   of block_nested_events. [Maxim]
 - Add a patch to rename inject_pending_events() and add a comment to
   document KVM's not-quite-architecturally-correct handing of instruction
   boundaries and asynchronous events. [Maxim]

v2:
  - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220614204730.3359543-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
  - Rebased to kvm/queue (commit 8baacf67c76c) + selftests CPUID
    overhaul.
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220614200707.3315957-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
  - Treat KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT as a pending exception.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220614204730.3359543-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
