Subject: [PATCH 02/11] KVM: x86/xen: Bug the VM if 32-bit KVM observes a 64-bit mode hypercall
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 16:56:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409235622.2052730-3-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409235622.2052730-1-seanjc@google.com>
Bug the VM if 32-bit KVM attempts to handle a 64-bit hypercall, primarily
so that a future change to set "input" in mode-specific code doesn't
trigger a false positive warn=>error:
arch/x86/kvm/xen.c:1687:6: error: variable 'input' is used uninitialized
whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
1687 | if (!longmode) {
| ^~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/kvm/xen.c:1708:31: note: uninitialized use occurs here
1708 | trace_kvm_xen_hypercall(cpl, input, params[0], params[1], params[2],
| ^~~~~
x86/kvm/xen.c:1687:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
1687 | if (!longmode) {
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/kvm/xen.c:1677:11: note: initialize the variable 'input' to silence this warning
1677 | u64 input, params[6], r = -ENOSYS;
| ^
1 error generated.
Note, params[] also has the same flaw, but -Wsometimes-uninitialized
doesn't seem to be enforced for arrays, presumably because it's difficult
to avoid false positives on specific entries.
