Subject: [PATCH 4/4] KVM: arm64: Avoid mistaken attempts to save SVE state for vcpus
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2018 12:42:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1528976546-25999-4-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1528976546-25999-1-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com>
Commit e6b673b ("KVM: arm64: Optimise FPSIMD handling to reduce
guest/host thrashing") uses fpsimd_save() to save the FPSIMD state
for a vcpu when scheduling the vcpu out. However, currently
current's value of TIF_SVE is restored before calling fpsimd_save()
which means that fpsimd_save() may erroneously attempt to save SVE
state from the vcpu. This enables current's vector state to be
polluted with guest data. current->thread.sve_state may be
unallocated or not large enough, so this can also trigger a NULL
dereference or buffer overrun.
Instead of this, TIF_SVE should be configured properly for the
guest when calling fpsimd_save() with the vcpu context loaded.
This patch ensures this my delaying restoration of current's
TIF_SVE until after the call to fpsimd_save().
Fixes: e6b673b741ea ("KVM: arm64: Optimise FPSIMD handling to reduce guest/host thrashing")
