Remove another duplicate field of struct kvm_mmu. This time it's the root level for page table walking; the separate field is always initialized as cpu_role.base.level, so its users can look up the CPU mode directly instead. Signed-off-by:Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

root_role.level is always the same value as shadow_level: - it's kvm_mmu_get_tdp_level(vcpu) when going through init_kvm_tdp_mmu - it's the level argument when going through kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu - it's assigned directly from new_role.base.level when going through shadow_mmu_init_context Remove the duplication and get the level directly from the role.

Before the separation of the CPU and the MMU role, CR0.PG was not available in the base MMU role, because two-dimensional paging always used direct=1 in the MMU role. However, now that the raw role is snapshotted in mmu->cpu_role, the value of CR0.PG always matches both !cpu_role.base.direct and cpu_role.base.level > 0. There is no need to store it again in union kvm_mmu_extended_role; instead, write an is_cr0_pg accessor by hand that takes care of the conversion. Use cpu_role.base.level since the future of the direct field is unclear. Likewise, CR4.PAE is now always present in the CPU role as !cpu_role.base.has_4_byte_gpte. The inversion makes certain tests on the MMU role easier, and is easily hidden by the is_cr4_pae accessor when operating on the CPU role. Signed-off-by: -

It is quite confusing that the "full" union is called kvm_mmu_role but is used for the "cpu_role" field of struct kvm_mmu. Rename it to kvm_cpu_role. Signed-off-by: -

mmu_role represents the role of the root of the page tables. It does not need any extended bits, as those govern only KVM's page table walking; the is_* functions used for page table walking always use the CPU role. ext.valid is not present anymore in the MMU role, but an all-zero MMU role is impossible because the level field is never zero in the MMU role. So just zap the whole mmu_role in order to force invalidation after CPUID is updated. While making this change, which requires touching almost every occurrence of "mmu_role", rename it to "root_role". Signed-off-by: -

Now that the MMU role is separate from the CPU role, it can be a truthful description of the format of the shadow pages. This includes whether the shadow pages use the NX bit; so force the efer_nx field of the MMU role when TDP is disabled, and remove the hardcoding it in the callers of reset_shadow_zero_bits_mask. In fact, the initialization of reserved SPTE bits can now be made common to shadow paging and shadow NPT; move it to shadow_mmu_init_context. Signed-off-by: -

Inline kvm_calc_mmu_role_common into its sole caller, and simplify it by removing the computation of unnecessary bits. Extended bits are unnecessary because page walking uses the CPU role, and EFER.NX/CR0.WP can be set to one unconditionally---matching the format of shadow pages rather than the format of guest pages. The MMU role for two dimensional paging does still depend on the CPU role, even if only barely so, due to SMM and guest mode; for consistency, pass it down to kvm_calc_tdp_mmu_root_page_role instead of querying the vcpu with is_smm or is_guest_mode.

kvm_calc_shadow_root_page_role_common is the same as kvm_calc_cpu_role except for the level, which is overwritten afterwards in kvm_calc_shadow_mmu_root_page_role and kvm_calc_shadow_npt_root_page_role. role.base.direct is already set correctly for the CPU role, and CR0.PG=1 is required for VMRUN so it will also be correct for nested NPT.

The ept_ad field is used during page walk to determine if the guest PTEs have accessed and dirty bits. In the MMU role, the ad_disabled bit represents whether the *shadow* PTEs have the bits, so it would be incorrect to replace PT_HAVE_ACCESSED_DIRTY with just !mmu->mmu_role.base.ad_disabled. However, the similar field in the CPU mode, ad_disabled, is initialized correctly: to the opposite value of ept_ad for shadow EPT, and zero for non-EPT guest paging modes (which always have A/D bits). It is therefore possible to compute PT_HAVE_ACCESSED_DIRTY from the CPU mode, like other page-format fields; it just has to be inverted to account for the different polarity. In fact, now that the CPU mode is distinct from the MMU roles, it would even be possible to remove PT_HAVE_ACCESSED_DIRTY macro altogether, and use !mmu->cpu_role.base.ad_disabled instead. I am not doing this because the macro has a small effect in terms of dead code elimination: text data bss dec hex 103544 16665 112 120321 1d601 # as of this patch 103746 16665 112 120523 1d6cb # without PT_HAVE_ACCESSED_DIRTY Reviewed-by:

The root_level can be found in the cpu_role (in fact the field is superfluous and could be removed, but one thing at a time). Since there is only one usage left of role_regs_to_root_level, inline it into kvm_calc_cpu_role. Signed-off-by: -
Paolo Bonzini authored
Snapshot the state of the processor registers that govern page walk into a new field of struct kvm_mmu. This is a more natural representation than having it *mostly* in mmu_role but not exclusively; the delta right now is represented in other fields, such as root_level. The nested MMU now has only the CPU role; and in fact the new function kvm_calc_cpu_role is analogous to the previous kvm_calc_nested_mmu_role, except that it has role.base.direct equal to !CR0.PG. For a walk-only MMU, "direct" has no meaning, but we set it to !CR0.PG so that role.ext.cr0_pg can go away in a future patch. Signed-off-by: -

Aside from being a hack, the current approach is brittle and incomplete, e.g. nSVM's KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE fails to set ->inject_page_fault(), and nVMX fails to apply the workaround when VMX is intercepting #PF due to allow_smaller_maxphyaddr=1.

The init_kvm_*mmu functions, with the exception of shadow NPT, do not need to know the full values of CR0/CR4/EFER; they only need to know the bits that make up the "role". This cleanup however will take quite a few incremental steps. As a start, pull the common computation of the struct kvm_mmu_role_regs into their caller: all of them extract the struct from the vcpu as the very first step. Reviewed-by:

Clear enable_mmio_caching if hardware can't support MMIO caching and use the dedicated flag to detect if MMIO caching is enabled instead of assuming shadow_mmio_value==0 means MMIO caching is disabled. TDX will use a zero value even when caching is enabled, and is_mmio_spte() isn't so hot that it needs to avoid an extra memory access, i.e. there's no reason to be super clever. And the clever approach may not even be more performant, e.g. gcc-11 lands the extra check on a non-zero value inline, but puts the enable_mmio_caching out-of-line, i.e. avoids the few extra uops for non-MMIO SPTEs.

When determining whether or not a SPTE needs to have SME/SEV's memory encryption flag set, do the moderately expensive host MMIO pfn check if and only if the memory encryption mask is non-zero. Note, KVM could further optimize the host MMIO checks by making a single call to kvm_is_mmio_pfn(), but the tdp_enabled path (for EPT's memtype handling) will likely be split out to a separate flow[*]. At that point, a better approach would be to shove the call to kvm_is_mmio_pfn() into VMX code so that AMD+NPT without SME doesn't get hit with an unnecessary lookup.

The TSC_AUX virtualization feature allows AMD SEV-ES guests to securely use TSC_AUX (auxiliary time stamp counter data) in the RDTSCP and RDPID instructions. The TSC_AUX value is set using the WRMSR instruction to the TSC_AUX MSR (0xC0000103). It is read by the RDMSR, RDTSCP and RDPID instructions. If the read/write of the TSC_AUX MSR is intercepted, then RDTSCP and RDPID must also be intercepted when TSC_AUX virtualization is present. However, the RDPID instruction can't be intercepted. This means that when TSC_AUX virtualization is present, RDTSCP and TSC_AUX MSR read/write must not be intercepted for SEV-ES (or SEV-SNP) guests. Signed-off-by:

KVM uses lookup_address_in_mm() to detect the hugepage size that the host uses to map a pfn. The function suffers from several issues: - no usage of READ_ONCE(*). This allows multiple dereference of the same page table entry. The TOCTOU problem because of that may cause KVM to incorrectly treat a newly generated leaf entry as a nonleaf one, and dereference the content by using its pfn value. - the information returned does not match what KVM needs; for non-present entries it returns the level at which the walk was terminated, as long as the entry is not 'none'. KVM needs level information of only 'present' entries, otherwise it may regard a non-present PXE entry as a present large page mapping. - the function is not safe for mappings that can be torn down, because it does not disable IRQs and because it returns a PTE pointer which is never safe to dereference after the function returns. So implement the logic for walking host page tables directly in KVM, and stop using lookup_address_in_mm().

When KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT was introduced, it included a flags member that at the time was unused. Unfortunately this extensibility mechanism has several issues: - x86 is not writing the member, so it would not be possible to use it on x86 except for new events - the member is not aligned to 64 bits, so the definition of the uAPI struct is incorrect for 32- on 64-bit userspace. This is a problem for RISC-V, which supports CONFIG_KVM_COMPAT, but fortunately usage of flags was only introduced in 5.18. Since padding has to be introduced, place a new field in there that tells if the flags field is valid. To allow further extensibility, in fact, change flags to an array of 16 values, and store how many of the values are valid. The availability of the new ndata field is tied to a system capability; all architectures are changed to fill in the field. To avoid breaking compilation of userspace that was using the flags field, provide a userspace-only union to overlap flags with data[0]. The new field is placed at the same offset for both 32- and 64-bit userspace.

Disallow memslots and MMIO SPTEs whose gpa range would exceed the host's MAXPHYADDR, i.e. don't create SPTEs for gfns that exceed host.MAXPHYADDR. The TDP MMU bounds its zapping based on host.MAXPHYADDR, and so if the guest, possibly with help from userspace, manages to coerce KVM into creating a SPTE for an "impossible" gfn, KVM will leak the associated shadow pages (page tables): WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 1122 at arch/x86/kvm/mmu/tdp_mmu.c:57 kvm_mmu_uninit_tdp_mmu+0x4b/0x60 [kvm] Modules linked in: kvm_intel kvm irqbypass CPU: 10 PID: 1122 Comm: set_memory_regi Tainted: G W 5.18.0-rc1+ #293 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 RIP: 0010:kvm_mmu_uninit_tdp_mmu+0x4b/0x60 [kvm] Call Trace: <TASK> kvm_arch_destroy_vm+0x130/0x1b0 [kvm] kvm_destroy_vm+0x162/0x2d0 [kvm] kvm_vm_release+0x1d/0x30 [kvm] __fput+0x82/0x240 task_work_run+0x5b/0x90 exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0xd2/0xe0 syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x1d/0x40 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae </TASK> On bare metal, encountering an impossible gpa in the page fault path is well and truly impossible, barring CPU bugs, as the CPU will signal #PF during the gva=>gpa translation (or a similar failure when stuffing a physical address into e.g. the VMCS/VMCB). But if KVM is running as a VM itself, the MAXPHYADDR enumerated to KVM may not be the actual MAXPHYADDR of the underlying hardware, in which case the hardware will not fault on the illegal-from-KVM's-perspective gpa. Alternatively, KVM could continue allowing the dodgy behavior and simply zap the max possible range. But, for hosts with MAXPHYADDR < 52, that's a (minor) waste of cycles, and more importantly, KVM can't reasonably support impossible memslots when running on bare metal (or with an accurate MAXPHYADDR as a VM). Note, limiting the overhead by checking if KVM is running as a guest is not a safe option as the host isn't required to announce itself to the guest in any way, e.g. doesn't need to set the HYPERVISOR CPUID bit. A second alternative to disallowing the memslot behavior would be to disallow creating a VM with guest.MAXPHYADDR > host.MAXPHYADDR. That restriction is undesirable as there are legitimate use cases for doing so, e.g. using the highest host.MAXPHYADDR out of a pool of heterogeneous systems so that VMs can be migrated between hosts with different MAXPHYADDRs without running afoul of the allow_smaller_maxphyaddr mess. Note that any guest.MAXPHYADDR is valid with shadow paging, and it is even useful in order to test KVM with MAXPHYADDR=52 (i.e. without any reserved physical address bits). The now common kvm_mmu_max_gfn() is inclusive instead of exclusive. The memslot and TDP MMU code want an exclusive value, but the name implies the returned value is inclusive, and the MMIO path needs an inclusive check.

Exit to userspace when emulating an atomic guest access if the CMPXCHG on the userspace address faults. Emulating the access as a write and thus likely treating it as emulated MMIO is wrong, as KVM has already confirmed there is a valid, writable memslot. Signed-off-by:

Use the recently introduced __try_cmpxchg_user() to update guest PTE A/D bits instead of mapping the PTE into kernel address space. The VM_PFNMAP path is broken as it assumes that vm_pgoff is the base pfn of the mapped VMA range, which is conceptually wrong as vm_pgoff is the offset relative to the file and has nothing to do with the pfn. The horrific hack worked for the original use case (backing guest memory with /dev/mem), but leads to accessing "random" pfns for pretty much any other VM_PFNMAP case.

Clear the IDT vectoring field in vmcs12 on next VM-Exit due to a double or triple fault. Per the SDM, a VM-Exit isn't considered to occur during event delivery if the exit is due to an intercepted double fault or a triple fault. Opportunistically move the default clearing (no event "pending") into the helper so that it's more obvious that KVM does indeed handle this case. Note, the double fault case is worded rather wierdly in the SDM: The original event results in a double-fault exception that causes the VM exit directly. Temporarily ignoring injected events, double faults can _only_ occur if an exception occurs while attempting to deliver a different exception, i.e. there's _always_ an original event. And for injected double fault, while there's no original event, injected events are never subject to interception. Presumably the SDM is calling out that a the vectoring info will be valid if a different exit occurs after a double fault, e.g. if a #PF occurs and is intercepted while vectoring #DF, then the vectoring info will show the double fault. In other words, the clause can simply be read as: The VM exit is caused by a double-fault exception.

Remove WARNs that sanity check that KVM never lets a triple fault for L2 escape and incorrectly end up in L1. In normal operation, the sanity check is perfectly valid, but it incorrectly assumes that it's impossible for userspace to induce KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT without bouncing through KVM_RUN (which guarantees kvm_check_nested_state() will see and handle the triple fault). The WARN can currently be triggered if userspace injects a machine check while L2 is active and CR4.MCE=0. And a future fix to allow save/restore of KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT, e.g. so that a synthesized triple fault isn't lost on migration, will make it trivially easy for userspace to trigger the WARN. Clearing KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT when forcibly leaving guest mode is tempting, but wrong, especially if/when the request is saved/restored, e.g. if userspace restores events (including a triple fault) and then restores nested state (which may forcibly leave guest mode). Ignoring the fact that KVM doesn't currently provide the necessary APIs, it's userspace's responsibility to manage pending events during save/restore. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1399 at arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c:4522 nested_vmx_vmexit+0x7fe/0xd90 [kvm_intel] Modules linked in: kvm_intel kvm irqbypass CPU: 7 PID: 1399 Comm: state_test Not tainted 5.17.0-rc3+ #808 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 RIP: 0010:nested_vmx_vmexit+0x7fe/0xd90 [kvm_intel] Call Trace: <TASK> vmx_leave_nested+0x30/0x40 [kvm_intel] vmx_set_nested_state+0xca/0x3e0 [kvm_intel] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl+0xf49/0x13e0 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x4b9/0x660 [kvm] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x83/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x3b/0xc0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae </TASK> ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Fixes: cb6a32c2 ("KVM: x86: Handle triple fault in L2 without killing L1") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Chenyi Qiang <chenyi.qiang@intel.com> Signed-off-by:
