cover x86/kvm: Enable MCE injection in the guest

From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>

Hi all,

there's this mce-inject.ko module in the kernel which allows for injecting real MCEs and thus test the MCE handling code.

It is doubly useful to be able to inject same MCEs in a guest so that testing of the MCE handling code can happen even easier/faster. In order to be able to do that on an AMD guest, we need to emulate some bits and pieces like the HWCR[McStatusWrEn] bit which allows writes to the MCi_STATUS registers without a #GP.

The below does that and with it I'm able to properly inject MCEs in said guest.

Thx.

PATCH 2/3 x86/kvm: Implement MSR_HWCR support

In reply to Borislav Petkov

From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>

The hardware configuration register has some useful bits which can be used by guests. Implement McStatusWrEn which can be used by guests when injecting MCEs with the in-kernel mce-inject module.

For that, we need to set bit 18 - McStatusWrEn - first, before writing the MCi_STATUS registers (otherwise we #GP).

Add the required machinery to do so.

msr_info->host_initiated is always going to return true, so it would be better to put it outside of __set_mci_status.

Maybe we could just write the whole logic inline, otherwise I'd call it something like mci_status_is_writeable.

Don't you feel it is cleaner if all the MCi_STATUS checking is done in a separate function? The indentation level and the bunch of checks in set_msr_mce() make it hard to read while having a separate function separates it and makes it easier to follow.

I mean, you're the maintainer but if I may give a suggestion, moving the whole logic into a separate function would be more readable.

And then do:

	if (!msr_info->host_initiated) {
		if (check_mci_status(...))

	}

Something like that...

It needs to be MISC because it is the last MSR in the MCA bank and thus the highest.

It was correct before. We have 32 banks (KVM_MAX_MCE_BANKS), so the last useable has index 31 and the "- 1" is going to roll over from first MSR of bank 32 to the last MSR of the last bank.

Another way of writing it would be:

case MSR_IA32_MC0_CTL ... MSR_IA32_MCx_MISC(KVM_MAX_MCE_BANKS - 1):

Huh?

This is what I did:

+ case MSR_IA32_MC0_CTL ... MSR_IA32_MCx_MISC(KVM_MAX_MCE_BANKS) - 1:

It needs to be MISC because it is the last MSR in the MCA bank and thus the highest.

The last MSR is the original "MSR_IA32_MCx_CTL(KVM_MAX_MCE_BANKS) - 1".

"MSR_IA32_MCx_MISC(KVM_MAX_MCE_BANKS) - 1" also covers

MSR_IA32_MC32_CTL, MSR_IA32_MC32_STATUS, and MSR_IA32_MC32_ADDR

but the maximal valid MSR is MSR_IA32_MC31_MISC.

Bah, right you are, MSR_IA32_MCx_CTL(KVM_MAX_MCE_BANKS) - 1 *is* the last MSR of bank 31, yes.

Pls ignore this patch.
