[PATCH 01/13] KVM: arm64: Harden __ctxt_sys_reg() against out-of-range values

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

 



The unsuspecting kernel tinkerer can be easily confused into
writing something that looks like this:

	ikey.lo = __vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, SYS_APIAKEYLO_EL1);

which seems vaguely sensible, until you realise that the second
parameter is the encoding of a sysreg, and not the index into
the vcpu sysreg file... Debugging what happens in this case is
an interesting exercise in head<->wall interactions.

As they often say: "Any resemblance to actual persons, living
or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental".

In order to save people's time, add some compile-time hardening
that will at least weed out the "stupidly out of range" values.
This will *not* catch anything that isn't a compile-time constant.
