Subject: [PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Sanitize special-purpose register values on guest exit
Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2016 22:12:30 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160307111230.GC32019@fergus.ozlabs.ibm.com> (raw)
Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a
host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR)
to a suitable value. It turns out that this is because when the
code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers
(SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure
that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit.
This adds code to set the those registers where a bad value could
compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral
value on guest exit.

Paolo, since this fixes a bug where a guest can cause a hard hang
of a host CPU, I'd like it to go in 4.5 if possible.
