PATCH 1/1 ARM: KVM: perform save/restore of PAR

Not saving PAR is an unfortunate oversight. If the guest performs an AT* operation and gets scheduled out before reading the result of the translation from PAR, it could become corrupted by another guest or the host.

Saving this register is made slightly more complicated as KVM also uses it on the permission fault handling path, leading to an ugly "stash and restore" sequence. Fortunately, this is already a slow path so we don't really care. Also, Linux doesn't do any AT* operation, so Linux guests are not impacted by this bug.

That would have been ideal indeed. Unfortunately, these values are directly used from assembly code.

One possible workaround would be to define each value in terms of the previous ones:
#define c7_PAR (c6_IFAR + 1)
#define c7_PAR_high (c7_PAR + 1)
#define c9_L2CTLR (c7_PAR_high + 1)
...

Another possibility would be not to use these values in the assembly code, but instead to generate all the offsets from asm-offset.c and use that instead.

What do you think?

I personally think generating all these lines in asm-offset.c is overkill. On the other hand, defining one number by way of the other is also not beautiful.

I think we can live with this noise in the git log, as long as it's not something happening on every release, which I doubt it is, and I prefer that over a more complicated code base.

For the record, you don't *have* to order the reg definitions, they just happen to be that. You *could*, theoretically, also add it at the end of the list simply, but, yuck.

Not saving PAR is an unfortunate oversight. If the guest performs an AT* operation and gets scheduled out before reading the result of the translation from PAR, it could become corrupted by another guest or the host.

Saving this register is made slightly more complicated as KVM also uses it on the permission fault handling path, leading to an ugly "stash and restore" sequence. Fortunately, this is already a slow path so we don't really care. Also, Linux doesn't do any AT* operation, so Linux guests are not impacted by this bug.

Nice catch! How did you discover this? Bad dream?

Patch looks good.

I'll queue it.
