From: Lev Kujawski <lkujaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0471a7bd1bca2a47a5f378f2222c5cf39ce94152 ] Certain guest operating systems (e.g., UNIXWARE) clear bit 0 of MC1_CTL to ignore single-bit ECC data errors. Single-bit ECC data errors are always correctable and thus are safe to ignore because they are informational in nature rather than signaling a loss of data integrity. Prior to this patch, these guests would crash upon writing MC1_CTL, with resultant error messages like the following: error: kvm run failed Operation not permitted EAX=fffffffe EBX=fffffffe ECX=00000404 EDX=ffffffff ESI=ffffffff EDI=00000001 EBP=fffdaba4 ESP=fffdab20 EIP=c01333a5 EFL=00000246 [---Z-P-] CPL=0 II=0 A20=1 SMM=0 HLT=0 ES =0108 00000000 ffffffff 00c09300 DPL=0 DS [-WA] CS =0100 00000000 ffffffff 00c09b00 DPL=0 CS32 [-RA] SS =0108 00000000 ffffffff 00c09300 DPL=0 DS [-WA] DS =0108 00000000 ffffffff 00c09300 DPL=0 DS [-WA] FS =0000 00000000 ffffffff 00c00000 GS =0000 00000000 ffffffff 00c00000 LDT=0118 c1026390 00000047 00008200 DPL=0 LDT TR =0110 ffff5af0 00000067 00008b00 DPL=0 TSS32-busy GDT= ffff5020 000002cf IDT= ffff52f0 000007ff CR0=8001003b CR2=00000000 CR3=0100a000 CR4=00000230 DR0=00000000 DR1=00000000 DR2=00000000 DR3=00000000 DR6=ffff0ff0 DR7=00000400 EFER=0000000000000000 Code=08 89 01 89 51 04 c3 8b 4c 24 08 8b 01 8b 51 04 8b 4c 24 04 <0f> 30 c3 f7 05 a4 6d ff ff 10 00 00 00 74 03 0f 31 c3 33 c0 33 d2 c3 8d 74 26 00 0f 31 c3 Signed-off-by: Lev Kujawski <lkujaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Message-Id: <20220521081511.187388-1-lkujaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c b/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c index 767a61e29f51..2316c978b598 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c @@ -3226,10 +3226,13 @@ static int set_msr_mce(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, struct msr_data *msr_info) /* only 0 or all 1s can be written to IA32_MCi_CTL * some Linux kernels though clear bit 10 in bank 4 to * workaround a BIOS/GART TBL issue on AMD K8s, ignore - * this to avoid an uncatched #GP in the guest + * this to avoid an uncatched #GP in the guest. + * + * UNIXWARE clears bit 0 of MC1_CTL to ignore + * correctable, single-bit ECC data errors. */ if ((offset & 0x3) == 0 && - data != 0 && (data | (1 << 10)) != ~(u64)0) + data != 0 && (data | (1 << 10) | 1) != ~(u64)0) return -1; /* MCi_STATUS */ -- 2.35.1
