Currently if userspace restores the pit counters with a count of 0 on channels 1 or 2 and the guest attempts to read the count on those channels, then KVM will perform a mod of 0 and crash. This will ensure that 0 values are converted to 65536 as per the spec. This is CVE-2015-7513. Signed-off-by: Andy Honig <ahonig@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Virtual machines can be run with CPUID such that there are no MTRRs. In that case, the firmware will never enable MTRRs and it is obviously undesirable to run the guest entirely with UC memory. Check out guest CPUID, and use WB memory if MTRR do not exist.

Conversion of MTRRs to ranges used the maxphyaddr from the boot CPU. This is wrong, because var_mtrr_range's mask variable then is discontiguous (like FF00FFFF000, where the first run of 0s corresponds to the bits between host and guest maxphyaddr). Instead always set up the masks to be full 64-bit values---we know that the reserved bits at the top are zero, and we can restore them when reading the MSR. This way var_mtrr_range gets a mask that just works.

This fixes the slow-down of VM running with pci-passthrough, since some MTRR range changed from MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK to MTRR_TYPE_UNCACHABLE.

The current handling of accesses to guest MSR_TSC_AUX returns error if vcpu does not support rdtscp, though those accesses are initiated by host. This can result in the reboot failure of some versions of QEMU. This patch fixes this issue by passing those host initiated accesses for further handling instead.

External inputs to the vgic from time to time need to poke into the state of a virtual interrupt, the prime example is the architected timer code. Since the IRQ's active state can be represented in two places; the LR or the distributor, we first loop over the LRs but if not active in the LRs we just return if *any* IRQ is active on the VCPU in question. This is of course bogus, as we should check if the specific IRQ in quesiton is active on the distributor instead.

Currently it is possible for userspace (e.g. QEMU) to set a value for the MSR for a guest VCPU which has both of the TS bits set, which is an illegal combination. The result of this is that when we execute a hrfid (hypervisor return from interrupt doubleword) instruction to enter the guest, the CPU will take a TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt (vector 0x700). Now, if PR KVM is configured in the kernel along with HV KVM, we actually handle this without crashing the host or giving hypervisor privilege to the guest; instead what happens is that we deliver a program interrupt to the guest, with SRR0 reflecting the address of the hrfid instruction and SRR1 containing the MSR value at that point. If PR KVM is not configured in the kernel, then we try to run the host's program interrupt handler with the MMU set to the guest context, which almost certainly causes a host crash. This closes the hole by making kvmppc_set_msr_hv() check for the illegal combination and force the TS field to a safe value (00, meaning non-transactional).

ROL on a 32 bit integer with a shift of 32 or more is undefined and the result is arch-dependent. Avoid this by handling the trivial case of roling by 0 correctly. The trivial solution of checking if shift is 0 breaks gcc's detection of this code as a ROL instruction, which is unacceptable. This bug was reported and fixed in GCC (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57157): The standard rotate idiom, (x << n) | (x >> (32 - n)) is recognized by gcc (for concreteness, I discuss only the case that x is an uint32_t here). However, this is portable C only for n in the range 0 < n < 32. For n == 0, we get x >> 32 which gives undefined behaviour according to the C standard (6.5.7, Bitwise shift operators). To portably support n == 0, one has to write the rotate as something like (x << n) | (x >> ((-n) & 31)) And this is apparently not recognized by gcc. Note that this is broken on older GCCs and will result in slower ROL.

For block devices the pagecache is associated with the inode on bdevfs, not with the aliasing ones on the mountable filesystems. The latter have its own ->i_data empty and ->i_mapping pointing to the (unique per major/minor) bdevfs inode. That guarantees cache coherence between all block device inodes with the same device number. Eviction of an alias inode has no business trying to evict the pages belonging to bdevfs one; moreover, ->i_mapping is only safe to access when the thing is opened. At the time of ->evict_inode() the victim is definitely *not* opened. We are about to kill the address space embedded into struct inode (inode->i_data) and that's what we need to empty of any pages. 9p instance tries to empty inode->i_mapping instead, which is both unsafe and bogus - if we have several device nodes with the same device number in different places, closing one of them should not try to empty the (shared) page cache. Fortunately, other instances in the tree are OK; they are evicting from &inode->i_data instead, as 9p one should.

__unflatten_device_tree() calls unflatten_dt_node(), which declares a static variable. It is therefore not reentrant. One of the callers of __unflatten_device_tree(), unflatten_device_tree(), is only called once during early initialization and does not need to be protected. The other caller, of_fdt_unflatten_tree(), can be called at any time, possibly multiple times in parallel. This can happen, for example, if multiple devicetree overlays have to be loaded and installed. Without this protection, errors such as the following may be seen. kernel: End of tree marker overwritten: e6a3a458 kernel: find_target_node: Failed to find target-indirect node at /fragment@0 kernel: __of_overlay_create: of_build_overlay_info() failed for tree@/ Add a mutex to of_fdt_unflatten_tree() to make the call reentrant.

Improves cacheline transfer flow of available ring header. Virtqueues are implemented as a pair of rings, one producer->consumer avail ring and one consumer->producer used ring; preceding the avail ring in memory are two contiguous u16 fields -- avail->flags and avail->idx. A producer posts work by writing to avail->idx and a consumer reads avail->idx. The flags and idx fields only need to be written by a producer CPU and only read by a consumer CPU; when the producer and consumer are running on different CPUs and the virtio_ring code is structured to only have source writes/sink reads, we can continuously transfer the avail header cacheline between 'M' states between cores. This flow optimizes core -> core bandwidth on certain CPUs. (see: "Software Optimization Guide for AMD Family 15h Processors", Section 11.6; similar language appears in the 10h guide and should apply to CPUs w/ exclusive caches, using LLC as a transfer cache) Unfortunately the existing virtio_ring code issued reads to the avail->idx and read-modify-writes to avail->flags on the producer. This change shadows the flags and index fields in producer memory; the vring code now reads from the shadows and only ever writes to avail->flags and avail->idx, allowing the cacheline to transfer core -> core optimally. In a concurrent version of vring_bench, the time required for 10,000,000 buffer checkout/returns was reduced by ~2% (average across many runs) on an AMD Piledriver (15h) CPU: (w/o shadowing): Performance counter stats for './vring_bench': 5,451,082,016 L1-dcache-loads ... 2.221477739 seconds time elapsed (w/ shadowing): Performance counter stats for './vring_bench': 5,405,701,361 L1-dcache-loads ... 2.168405376 seconds time elapsed The further away (in a NUMA sense) virtio producers and consumers are from each other, the more we expect to benefit. Physical implementations of virtio devices and implementations of virtio where the consumer polls vring avail indexes (vhost) should also benefit.

The patch also cleared __GFP_HIGH which doesn't make much sense for this fix because __GFP_HIGH only controls access to memory reserves and it doesn't have any influence on the zone selection. Some of the call paths use GFP_ATOMIC and dropping __GFP_HIGH will reduce their changes for success because the lack of access to memory reserves.

The virtio core uses a static ida named virtio_index_ida for assigning index numbers to virtio devices during registration. The ida core may allocate some internal idr cache layers and an ida bitmap upon any ida allocation, and all these layers are truely freed only upon the ida destruction. The virtio_index_ida is not destroyed at present, leading to a memory leak when using the virtio core as a module and atleast one virtio device is registered and unregistered.
