Subject: [PATCH 00/14] KVM: x86: Emulator MMIO fix and cleanups
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:20:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225012049.920665-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Fix a UAF stack bug where KVM references a stack pointer around an exit to
userspace, and then clean up the related code to try to make it easier to
maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier").
The SEV-ES and TDX changes are compile-tested only.
Sean Christopherson (14):
KVM: x86: Use scratch field in MMIO fragment to hold small write
values
KVM: x86: Open code handling of completed MMIO reads in
emulator_read_write()
KVM: x86: Trace unsatisfied MMIO reads on a per-page basis
KVM: x86: Use local MMIO fragment variable to clean up
emulator_read_write()
KVM: x86: Open code read vs. write userspace MMIO exits in
emulator_read_write()
KVM: x86: Move MMIO write tracing into vcpu_mmio_write()
KVM: x86: Harden SEV-ES MMIO against on-stack use-after-free
KVM: x86: Dedup kvm_sev_es_mmio_{read,write}()
KVM: x86: Consolidate SEV-ES MMIO emulation into a single public API
KVM: x86: Bury emulator read/write ops in
emulator_{read,write}_emulated()
KVM: x86: Fold emulator_write_phys() into write_emulate()
KVM: x86: Rename .read_write_emulate() to .read_write_guest()
KVM: x86: Don't panic the kernel if completing userspace I/O / MMIO
goes sideways
KVM: x86: Add helpers to prepare kvm_run for userspace MMIO exit
