In kernels compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n, the compiler re-orders the DR7 read in exc_nmi() to happen before the call to sev_es_ist_enter(). This is problematic when running as an SEV-ES guest because in this environment the DR7 read might cause a #VC exception, and taking #VC exceptions is not safe in exc_nmi() before sev_es_ist_enter() has run. The result is stack recursion if the NMI was caused on the #VC IST stack, because a subsequent #VC exception in the NMI handler will overwrite the stack frame of the interrupted #VC handler. As there are no compiler barriers affecting the ordering of DR7 reads/writes, make the accesses to this register volatile, forbidding the compiler to re-order them. [ bp: Massage text, make them volatile too, to make sure some aggressive compiler optimization pass doesn't discard them. ] Fixes: 315562c9af3d ("x86/sev-es: Adjust #VC IST Stack on entering NMI handler") Reported-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230127035616.508966-1-aik@xxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/include/asm/debugreg.h | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/debugreg.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/debugreg.h index b049d950612f..ca97442e8d49 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/debugreg.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/debugreg.h @@ -39,7 +39,20 @@ static __always_inline unsigned long native_get_debugreg(int regno) asm("mov %%db6, %0" :"=r" (val)); break; case 7: - asm("mov %%db7, %0" :"=r" (val)); + /* + * Apply __FORCE_ORDER to DR7 reads to forbid re-ordering them + * with other code. + * + * This is needed because a DR7 access can cause a #VC exception + * when running under SEV-ES.
