4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 00bb6ae5006205e041ce9784c819460562351d47 upstream.
When running a guest on a POWER9 system with the in-kernel XICS
emulation disabled (for example by running QEMU with the parameter
"-machine pseries,kernel_irqchip=off"), the kernel does not pass
the XICS-related hypercalls such as H_CPPR up to userspace for
emulation there as it should.
The reason for this is that the real-mode handlers for these
hypercalls don't check whether a XICS device has been instantiated
before calling the xics-on-xive code. That code doesn't check
either, leading to potential NULL pointer dereferences because
vcpu->arch.xive_vcpu is NULL. Those dereferences won't cause an
exception in real mode but will lead to kernel memory corruption.
This fixes it by adding kvmppc_xics_enabled() checks before calling
the XICS functions.
Fixes: 5af50993850a ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Native usage of the XIVE interrupt controller")
