OMG, this might just win the award for most obfuscated PMU code in KVM, which is
saying something. The fact that INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED happens to be 32, the same
bit number as ICL_FIXED_0_ADAPTIVE, is 100% coincidence. Good riddance.
Argh, and this goofy code helped introduce a real bug. reprogram_fixed_counters()
doesn't account for the upper 32 bits of IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL.
Wait, WTF? Nothing in KVM accounts for the upper bits. This can't possibly work.
IIUC, because KVM _always_ sets precise_ip to a non-zero bit for PEBS events,
perf will _always_ generate an adaptive record, even if the guest requested a
basic record. Ugh, and KVM will always generate adaptive records even if the
guest doesn't support them. This is all completely broken. It probably kinda
sorta works because the Basic info is always stored in the record, and generating
more info requires a non-zero MSR_PEBS_DATA_CFG, but ugh.
Oh great, and it gets worse. intel_pmu_disable_fixed() doesn't clear the upper
bits either, i.e. leaves ICL_FIXED_0_ADAPTIVE set. Unless I'm misreading the code,
intel_pmu_enable_fixed() effectively doesn't clear ICL_FIXED_0_ADAPTIVE either,
as it only modifies the bit when it wants to set ICL_FIXED_0_ADAPTIVE.
*sigh*
I'm _very_ tempted to disable KVM PEBS support for the current PMU, and make it
available only when the so-called passthrough PMU is available[*]. Because I
don't see how this is can possibly be functionally correct, nor do I see a way
to make it functionally correct without a rather large and invasive series.
Ouch. And after chatting with Mingwei, who asked the very good question of
"can this leak host state?", I am pretty sure that yes, this can leak host state.
When PERF_CAP_PEBS_BASELINE is enabled for the guest, i.e. when the guest has
access to adaptive records, KVM gives the guest full access to MSR_PEBS_DATA_CFG
pmu->pebs_data_cfg_mask = ~0xff00000full;
which makes sense in a vacuum, because AFAICT the architecture doesn't allow
exposing a subset of the four adaptive controls.
GPRs and XMMs are always context switched and thus benign, but IIUC, Memory Info
provides data that might now otherwise be available to the guest, e.g. if host
userspace has disallowed equivalent events via KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER.
And unless I'm missing something, LBRs are a full leak of host state. Nothing
in the SDM suggests that PEBS records honor MSR intercepts, so unless KVM is
also passing through LBRs, i.e. is context switching all LBR MSRs, the guest can
use PEBS to read host LBRs at will.
Unless someone chimes in to point out how PEBS virtualization isn't a broken mess,
I will post a patch to effectively disable PEBS virtualization.
