[PATCH v5 4/8] KVM: VMX: Ignore guest CPUID for host userspace writes to DEBUGCTL

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

 



Ignore guest CPUID for host userspace writes to the DEBUGCTL MSR, KVM's
ABI is that setting CPUID vs. state can be done in any order, i.e. KVM
allows userspace to stuff MSRs prior to setting the guest's CPUID that
makes the new MSR "legal".

Keep the vmx_get_perf_capabilities() check for guest writes, even though
it's technically unnecessary since the vCPU's PERF_CAPABILITIES is
consulted when refreshing LBR support.  A future patch will clean up
vmx_get_perf_capabilities() to avoid the RDMSR on every call, at which
point the paranoia will incur no meaningful overhead.

Note, prior to vmx_get_perf_capabilities() checking that the host fully
supports LBRs via x86_perf_get_lbr(), KVM effectively relied on
intel_pmu_lbr_is_enabled() to guard against host userspace enabling LBRs
on platforms without full support.

Fixes: c646236344e9 ("KVM: vmx/pmu: Add PMU_CAP_LBR_FMT check when guest LBR is enabled")
