[RFC PATCH v2 1/3] KVM: arm64: SIGBUS VMM for SEA guest abort

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

 



When APEI is unable claim or handles synchronous external abort (SEA)
today KVM handles SEA for guest by injecting an async SError into the
guest directly, bypassing VMM, usually results in guest kernel panic.

One major situation of guest SEA is when vCPU consumes uncorrectable
memory error on the physical memory. Although SError and guest kernel
panic effectively stops the propagation of corrupted memory, it is not
easy for VMM and guest to recover from memory error in a more graceful
manner.

This patch teach KVM to send a SIGBUS BUS_OBJERR to VMM/vCPU, just like
how core kernel signals SIGBUS BUS_OBJERR to a gernal poison consuming
userspace thread when APEI is unable to claim the SEA. In addition to
the benifit that KVM's handling for SEA becomes aligned with core
kernel's behavior
- VMM can inject SEA to guest. Compared to SError, the blast radius in
  VM is possible to be limited to only the consuming thread in guest,
  instead of the entire guest kernel (unless the poison consumption is
  from guest kernel).
- VMM usually tracks the poisoned guest pages. Together with [1], if
  guest consumes again the already poisoned guest pages, VMM can protect
  itself and the host by stopping the consumption at software level, by
  intercepting guest's access to poisoned pages, and again injecting
  SEA to guest.

KVM now handles SEA as follows:
1. Delegate to APEI/GHES driver to see if SEA can be claimed by them.
2. If APEI failed to claim the SEA, send current thread (i.e. VMM in EL0)
   a si_code=BUS_OBJERR SIGBUS signal. If the DIMM error's physical
   address is available from FAR_EL2, si_addr will be the DIMM error's
   host virtual address in VMM/vCPU's memory space.
3. Otherwise bypass VMM and inject async SError to guest.

Tested on a machine running Siryn AmpereOne processor. A dummy application
in VM allocated some memory buffer. The test used EINJ to inject an
uncorrectable recoverable memory error at a page in the allocated memory
buffer. The dummy application then consumed the memory error. Some hack
was done to make core kernel's memory_failure triggered by poison
generation to fail, so KVM had to deal with the SEA guest abort due to
poison consumption. vCPU thread in VMM received SIGBUS BUS_OBJERR with
valid host virtual address of the poisoned page. VMM then injected a SEA
into guest using KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS with ext_dabt_pending=1. At last
the dummy application in guest was killed by SIGBUS BUS_OBJERR, while the
guest survived and continued to run.
