[GIT PULL] KVM: x86: VMX changes for 6.12

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

 



The highlight is a fix for nested posted interrupts that shows up on CPUs with
IPI virtualization.  If KVM ends up handling an L1 virtual IRQ for L2's posted
interrupt notification vector, KVM will incorrectly synthesize a VM-Exit to L1
instead of processing pending posted interrupts.

I am very confident in the fix itself.  The refactorings to land the fix without
creating a TOCTOU bug on the other hand...  I did my best to test that I didn't
botch anything, but my first attempt went poorly, and as a result the changes
haven't been in -next for as long as I'd normally prefer.

The following changes since commit 47ac09b91befbb6a235ab620c32af719f8208399:

  KVM: VMX: Set PFERR_GUEST_{FINAL,PAGE}_MASK if and only if the GVA is valid (2024-09-09 20:33:22 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM VMX changes for 6.12:

 - Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT Violations if and only
   if the GVA is valid.  If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no guest-side page
   table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata is nonsensical.

 - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit instead of
   emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2.

 - Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12 structures.

 - Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref (really truly
   should be impossible).

 - Minor SGX fix and a cleanup.
