Subject: [PATCH] i386/kvm: Set return value after handling
  KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL
X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.46.0

Userspace should set the ret field of hypercall after handling
KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL.  Otherwise, a stale value could be returned to KVM.

Fixes: 47e76d03b15 ("i386/kvm: Add KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL handling for KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE")

To test the TDX code in kvm-coco-queue, please apply the patch to the QEMU,
otherwise, TDX guest boot could fail.
A matching QEMU tree including this patch is here:
https://github.com/intel-staging/qemu-tdx/releases/tag/tdx-qemu-upstream-v6.1-fix_kvm_hypercall_return_value

Previously, the issue was not triggered because no one would modify the ret
value. But with the refactor patch for __kvm_emulate_hypercall() in KVM,
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20241128004344.4072099-7-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx/, the
value could be modified.

Could you explain the specific reasons here in detail? It would be
helpful with debugging or reproducing the issue.

ret may be negative but hypercall.ret is u64. Do we need to set it to
-ret?

If ret is less than zero, will stop the VM anyway as
RUN_STATE_INTERNAL_ERROR.

If this has to be fixed in QEMU, I think there's no need to set anything
if ret != 0; also because kvm_convert_memory() returns -1 on error and
that's not how the error would be passed to the guest.

However, I think the right fix should simply be this in KVM:

While there is arguably a change in behavior of the kernel both with
the patches in kvm-coco-queue and with the above one, _in practice_
the above change is one that userspace will not notice.
