KVM: arm/arm64: Skip updating PTE entry if no change

2018-09-05T07:29:43+00:00

commit 976d34e2dab10ece5ea8fe7090b7692913f89084 upstream.

When there is contention on faulting in a particular page table entry
at stage 2, the break-before-make requirement of the architecture can
lead to additional refaulting due to TLB invalidation.

Avoid this by skipping a page table update if the new value of the PTE
matches the previous value.

KVM: arm/arm64: Skip updating PMD entry if no change

2018-09-05T07:29:43+00:00

commit 86658b819cd0a9aa584cd84453ed268a6f013770 upstream.

Contention on updating a PMD entry by a large number of vcpus can lead
to duplicate work when handling stage 2 page faults. As the page table
update follows the break-before-make requirement of the architecture,
it can lead to repeated refaults due to clearing the entry and
flushing the tlbs.

This problem is more likely when -

* there are large number of vcpus
* the mapping is large block mapping

such as when using PMD hugepages (512MB) with 64k pages.

Fix this by skipping the page table update if there is no change in
the entry being updated.

KVM: arm/arm64: Fix lost IRQs from emulated physcial timer when blocked

2018-09-05T07:29:43+00:00

commit 245715cbe83ca934af5d20e078fd85175c62995e upstream.

When the VCPU is blocked (for example from WFI) we don't inject the
physical timer interrupt if it should fire while the CPU is blocked, but
instead we just wake up the VCPU and expect kvm_timer_vcpu_load to take
care of injecting the interrupt.

Unfortunately, kvm_timer_vcpu_load() doesn't actually do that, it only
has support to schedule a soft timer if the emulated phys timer is
expected to fire in the future.

Follow the same pattern as kvm_timer_update_state() and update the irq
state after potentially scheduling a soft timer.

KVM: arm/arm64: Fix potential loss of ptimer interrupts

2018-09-05T07:29:43+00:00

commit 7afc4ddbf299a13aaf28406783d141a34c6b4f5a upstream.

kvm_timer_update_state() is called when changing the phys timer
configuration registers, either via vcpu reset, as a result of a trap
from the guest, or when userspace programs the registers.

phys_timer_emulate() is in turn called by kvm_timer_update_state() to
either cancel an existing software timer, or program a new software
timer, to emulate the behavior of a real phys timer, based on the change
in configuration registers.

Unfortunately, the interaction between these two functions left a small
race; if the conceptual emulated phys timer should actually fire, but
the soft timer hasn't executed its callback yet, we cancel the timer in
phys_timer_emulate without injecting an irq.  This only happens if the
check in kvm_timer_update_state is called before the timer should fire,
which is relatively unlikely, but possible.

The solution is to update the state of the phys timer after calling
phys_timer_emulate, which will pick up the pending timer state and
update the interrupt value.

Note that this leaves the opportunity of raising the interrupt twice,
once in the just-programmed soft timer, and once in
kvm_timer_update_state.  Since this always happens synchronously with
the VCPU execution, there is no harm in this, and the guest ever only
sees a single timer interrupt.

KVM: irqfd: fix race between EPOLLHUP and irq_bypass_register_consumer

2018-07-18T09:31:27+00:00

A comment warning against this bug is there, but the code is not doing what
the comment says.  Therefore it is possible that an EPOLLHUP races against
irq_bypass_register_consumer.  The EPOLLHUP handler schedules irqfd_shutdown,
and if that runs soon enough, you get a use-after-free.

KVM/Eventfd: Avoid crash when assign and deassign specific eventfd in parallel.

2018-07-18T09:31:27+00:00

Syzbot reports crashes in kvm_irqfd_assign(), caused by use-after-free
when kvm_irqfd_assign() and kvm_irqfd_deassign() run in parallel
for one specific eventfd. When the assign path hasn't finished but irqfd
has been added to kvm->irqfds.items list, another thead may deassign the
eventfd and free struct kvm_kernel_irqfd(). The assign path then uses
the struct kvm_kernel_irqfd that has been freed by deassign path. To avoid
such issue, keep irqfd under kvm->irq_srcu protection after the irqfd
has been added to kvm->irqfds.items list, and call synchronize_srcu()
in irq_shutdown() to make sure that irqfd has been fully initialized in
the assign path.

KVM: arm64: Prevent KVM_COMPAT from being selected

2018-06-21T16:17:50+00:00

There is very little point in trying to support the 32bit KVM/arm API
on arm64, and this was never an anticipated use case.

Let's make it clear by not selecting KVM_COMPAT.

KVM: Enforce error in ioctl for compat tasks when !KVM_COMPAT

2018-06-21T16:17:50+00:00

The current behaviour of the compat ioctls is a bit odd.
We provide a compat_ioctl method when KVM_COMPAT is set, and NULL
otherwise. But NULL means that the normal, non-compat ioctl should
be used directly for compat tasks, and there is no way to actually
prevent a compat task from issueing KVM ioctls.

This patch changes this behaviour, by always registering a compat_ioctl
method, even if KVM_COMPAT is not selected. In that case, the callback
will always return -EINVAL.

--------------------------------end--------------------------------------

The root cause might be what was fixed at [1]. But from the KVM points of
view, it would be better if the issue was caught earlier.

If the size is not PAGE_SIZE aligned, unmap_stage2_range might unmap the
wrong(more or less) page range. Hence it caused the "BUG: Bad page
state"

Let's WARN in that case, so that the issue is obvious.
