KVM backports to 5.10

This patch series backports a few VM preemption_status, steal_time and PV TLB flushing fixes to 5.10 stable kernel.

Most of the changes backport cleanly except i had to work around a few becauseof missing support/APIs in 5.10 kernel. I have captured those in the changelog as well in the individual patches.

Changelog
- Use mark_page_dirty_in_slot api without kvm argument (KVM: x86: Fix recording of guest steal time / preempted status)
- Avoid checking for xen_msr and SEV-ES conditions (KVM: x86:
do not set st->preempted when going back to user space)
- Use VCPU_STAT macro to expose preemption_reported and preemption_other fields (KVM: x86: do not report a vCPU as preempted outside instruction boundaries)

2.37.1

From: Lai Jiangshan <[email protected]>

commit af3511ff7fa2107d6410831f3d71030f5e8d2b25 upstream.

In record_steal_time(), st->preempted is read twice, and trace_kvm_pv_tlb_flush() might output result inconsistent if kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_guest() see a different st->preempted later.

It is a very trivial problem and hardly has actual harm and can be avoided by reseting and reading st->preempted in atomic way via xchg().

2.37.1

From: David Woodhouse <[email protected]>

commit 7e2175ebd695f17860c5bd4ad7616cce12ed4591 upstream.

In commit b043138246a4 ("x86/KVM: Make sure KVM_VCPU_FLUSH_TLB flag is not missed") we switched to using a gfn_to_pfn_cache for accessing the guest steal time structure in order to allow for an atomic xchg of the preempted field. This has a couple of problems.

Firstly, kvm_map_gfn() doesn't work at all for IOMEM pages when the atomic flag is set, which it is in kvm_steal_time_set_preempted(). So a guest vCPU using an IOMEM page for its steal time would never have its preempted field set.

Secondly, the gfn_to_pfn_cache is not invalidated in all cases where it should have been. There are two stages to the GFN->PFN conversion; first the GFN is converted to a userspace HVA, and then that HVA is looked up in the process page tables to find the underlying host PFN. Correct invalidation of the latter would require being hooked up to the MMU notifiers, but that doesn't happen---so it just keeps mapping and unmapping the *wrong* PFN after the userspace page tables change.

In the !IOMEM case at least the stale page *is* pinned all the time it's cached, so it won't be freed and reused by anyone else while still receiving the steal time updates. The map/unmap dance only takes care of the KVM administrivia such as marking the page dirty.

Until the gfn_to_pfn cache handles the remapping automatically by integrating with the MMU notifiers, we might as well not get a kernel mapping of it, and use the perfectly serviceable userspace HVA that we already have. We just need to implement the atomic xchg on the userspace address with appropriate exception handling, which is fairly trivial.

Message-Id: <[email protected]> [I didn't entirely agree with David's assessment of the
usefulness of the gfn_to_pfn cache, and integrated the outcome of the discussion in the above commit message. - Paolo]

2.37.1

From: David Woodhouse <[email protected]>

commit 964b7aa0b040bdc6ec1c543ee620cda3f8b4c68a upstream.

In 64-bit mode, x86 instruction encoding allows us to use the low 8 bits of any GPR as an 8-bit operand. In 32-bit mode, however, we can only use the [abcd] registers. For which, GCC has the "q" constraint instead of the less restrictive "r".

Also fix st->preempted, which is an input/output operand rather than an input.

From: Sean Christopherson <[email protected]>

commit 19979fba9bfaeab427a8e106d915f0627c952828 upstream.

Remove the disabling of page faults across kvm_steal_time_set_preempted() as KVM now accesses the steal time struct (shared with the guest) via a cached mapping (see commit b043138246a4, "x86/KVM: Make sure KVM_VCPU_FLUSH_TLB flag is not missed".) The cache lookup is flagged as atomic, thus it would be a bug if KVM tried to resolve a new pfn, i.e. we want the splat that would be reached via might_fault().

commit 54aa83c90198e68eee8b0850c749bc70efb548da upstream.

Similar to the Xen path, only change the vCPU's reported state if the vCPU was actually preempted. The reason for KVM's behavior is that for example optimistic spinning might not be a good idea if the guest is doing repeated exits to userspace; however, it is confusing and unlikely to make a difference, because well-tuned guests will hardly ever exit KVM_RUN in the first place.

From: Paolo Bonzini <[email protected]>

commit 6cd88243c7e03845a450795e134b488fc2afb736 upstream.

If a vCPU is outside guest mode and is scheduled out, it might be in the process of making a memory access. A problem occurs if another vCPU uses the PV TLB flush feature during the period when the vCPU is scheduled out, and a virtual address has already been translated but has not yet been accessed, because this is equivalent to using a stale TLB entry.

To avoid this, only report a vCPU as preempted if sure that the guest is at an instruction boundary. A rescheduling request will be delivered to the host physical CPU as an external interrupt, so for simplicity consider any vmexit *not* instruction boundary except for external interrupts.

It would in principle be okay to report the vCPU as preempted also if it is sleeping in kvm_vcpu_block(): a TLB flush IPI will incur the vmentry/vmexit overhead unnecessarily, and optimistic spinning is also unlikely to succeed. However, leave it for later because right now kvm_vcpu_check_block() is doing memory accesses. Even though the TLB flush issue only applies to virtual memory address, it's very much preferrable to be conservative.

From: Paolo Bonzini <[email protected]>

commit 901d3765fa804ce42812f1d5b1f3de2dfbb26723 upstream.

Commit 7e2175ebd695 ("KVM: x86: Fix recording of guest steal time / preempted status", 2021-11-11) open coded the previous call to kvm_map_gfn, but in doing so it dropped the comparison between the cached guest physical address and the one in the MSR. This cause an incorrect cache hit if the guest modifies the steal time address while the memslots remain the same. This can happen with kexec, in which case the steal time data is written at the address used by the old kernel instead of the old one.

While at it, rename the variable from gfn to gpa since it is a plain physical address and not a right-shifted one.

2.37.1

Gentle reminder to never top-post :)

Also, it's up to the KVM maintainers if they wish to review this or not. I can't make them care about old and obsolete kernels like 5.10.y. Why not just use 5.15.y or newer?

thanks,

greg k-h

Given the lack of responses here from the KVM developers, I'll drop this from my mbox and wait for them to be properly reviewed and resend before considering them for a stable release.

thanks,

greg k-h

KVM maintainers,

Would someone be kind enough to take a look at this for Greg please?

Note that at least one of the patches in this set has been identified as a fix for a serious security issue regarding the compromise of guest kernels due to the mishandling of flush operations.

Please could someone confirm or otherwise that this is relevant for v5.10.y and older?

Thank you.

Lee Jones [李琼斯]

A minor note, the security issue is serious _if_ the bug can be exploited, which as is often the case for KVM, is a fairly big "if". Jann's PoC relied on collusion between host userspace and the guest kernel, and as Jann called out, triggering the bug on a !PREEMPT host kernel would be quite difficult in practice.

I don't want to downplay the seriousness of compromising guest security, but CVSS scores for KVM CVEs almost always fail to account for the multitude of factors in play. E.g. CVE-2023-30456 also had a score of 7.8, and that bug required disabling EPT, which pretty much no one does when running untrusted guest code.

In other words, take the purported severity with a grain of salt.

Thanks for taking the time to provide some background information and for the Ack Sean, much appreciated.

For anyone taking notice, I expect a little lag on this still whilst Greg is AFK. I'll follow-up in a few days.

What am I supposed to do here? The thread is long-gone from my stable review queue, is there some patch I'm supposed to apply? If so, can I get a resend with the proper acks added?

thanks,

greg k-h

Yeah its been half a year since i sent this series and i had mostly forgotten about this. Sure i can resend a new version with acks/tested-by added.

Thanks
