5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Breno Leitao <leitao@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 49f683b41f28918df3e51ddc0d928cb2e934ccdb upstream. Use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to access kvm->last_boosted_vcpu to ensure the loads and stores are atomic. In the extremely unlikely scenario the compiler tears the stores, it's theoretically possible for KVM to attempt to get a vCPU using an out-of-bounds index, e.g. if the write is split into multiple 8-bit stores, and is paired with a 32-bit load on a VM with 257 vCPUs: CPU0 CPU1 last_boosted_vcpu = 0xff; (last_boosted_vcpu = 0x100) last_boosted_vcpu[15:8] = 0x01; i = (last_boosted_vcpu = 0x1ff) last_boosted_vcpu[7:0] = 0x00; vcpu = kvm->vcpu_array[0x1ff]; As detected by KCSAN: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in kvm_vcpu_on_spin [kvm] / kvm_vcpu_on_spin [kvm] write to 0xffffc90025a92344 of 4 bytes by task 4340 on cpu 16: kvm_vcpu_on_spin (arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4112) kvm handle_pause (arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:5929) kvm_intel vmx_handle_exit (arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:? arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:6606) kvm_intel vcpu_run (arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:11107 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:11211) kvm kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run (arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:?) kvm kvm_vcpu_ioctl (arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:?) kvm __se_sys_ioctl (fs/ioctl.c:52 fs/ioctl.c:904 fs/ioctl.c:890) __x64_sys_ioctl (fs/ioctl.c:890) x64_sys_call (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:33) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/common.c:?) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130) read to 0xffffc90025a92344 of 4 bytes by task 4342 on cpu 4: kvm_vcpu_on_spin (arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4069) kvm handle_pause (arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:5929) kvm_intel vmx_handle_exit (arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:? arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:6606) kvm_intel vcpu_run (arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:11107 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:11211) kvm kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run (arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:?) kvm kvm_vcpu_ioctl (arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:?) kvm __se_sys_ioctl (fs/ioctl.c:52 fs/ioctl.c:904 fs/ioctl.c:890) __x64_sys_ioctl (fs/ioctl.c:890) x64_sys_call (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:33) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/common.c:?) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130) value changed: 0x00000012 -> 0x00000000 Fixes: 217ece6129f2 ("KVM: use yield_to instead of sleep in kvm_vcpu_on_spin") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240510092353.2261824-1-leitao@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mirzamohammadi <saeed.mirzamohammadi@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c +++ b/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c @@ -2714,12 +2714,13 @@ void kvm_vcpu_on_spin(struct kvm_vcpu *m { struct kvm *kvm = me->kvm; struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu; - int last_boosted_vcpu = me->kvm->last_boosted_vcpu; + int last_boosted_vcpu; int yielded = 0; int try = 3; int pass; int i; + last_boosted_vcpu = READ_ONCE(kvm->last_boosted_vcpu); kvm_vcpu_set_in_spin_loop(me, true); /* * We boost the priority of a VCPU that is runnable but not @@ -2749,7 +2750,7 @@ void kvm_vcpu_on_spin(struct kvm_vcpu *m yielded = kvm_vcpu_yield_to(vcpu); if (yielded > 0) { - kvm->last_boosted_vcpu = i; + WRITE_ONCE(kvm->last_boosted_vcpu, i); break; } else if (yielded < 0) { try--;
