Subject: [PATCH RESEND v2 1/8] perf/x86/core: Completely disable guest PEBS via guest's global_ctrl
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2022 17:32:14 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220823093221.38075-2-likexu@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220823093221.38075-1-likexu@tencent.com>

From: Like Xu <likexu@tencent.com>

When a guest PEBS counter is cross-mapped by a host counter, software
will remove the corresponding bit in the arr[global_ctrl].guest and
expect hardware to perform a change of state "from enable to disable"
via the msr_slot[] switch during the vmx transaction.

The real world is that if user adjust the counter overflow value small
enough, it still opens a tiny race window for the previously PEBS-enabled
counter to write cross-mapped PEBS records into the guest's PEBS buffer,
when arr[global_ctrl].guest has been prioritised (switch_msr_special stuff)
to switch into the enabled state, while the arr[pebs_enable].guest has not.

Close this window by clearing invalid bits in the arr[global_ctrl].guest.

Fixes: 854250329c02 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Disable guest PEBS temporarily in two rare situations")
