Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] Relax canonical checks on some arch msrs
Date: Fri,  6 Sep 2024 18:18:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240906221824.491834-1-mlevitsk@redhat.com> (raw)

Recently we came up upon a failure where likely the guest writes
0xff4547ceb1600000 to MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE and later on, qemu
sets this value via KVM_PUT_MSRS, and is rejected by the
kernel, likely due to not being canonical in 4 level paging.

One of the way to trigger this is to make the guest enter SMM,
which causes paging to be disabled, which SMM bios re-enables
but not the whole 5 level. MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE on the other
hand continues to contain old value.

I did some reverse engineering and to my surprise I found out
that both Intel and AMD indeed ignore CR4.LA57 when doing
canonical checks on this and other msrs and/or other arch
registers (like GDT base) which contain linear addresses.

V2: addressed a very good feedback from Chao Gao. Thanks!

V3: also fix the nested VMX, and also fix the
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP / MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP

V4:
  - added PT and PEBS msrs
  - corrected emulation of SGDT/SIDT/STR/SLDT instructions
  - corrected canonical checks for TLB invalidation instructions

Best regards,
	Maxim Levitsky
