Subject: [PATCH 5.10 09/43] KVM: arm64: Prevent access to vCPU events before init
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:35:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831133358.950157096@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831133358.571886287@linuxfoundation.org>

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oliver Upton <oliver.upton@linux.dev>

[ Upstream commit 0aa1b76fe1429629215a7c79820e4b96233ac4a3 ]

Another day, another syzkaller bug. KVM erroneously allows userspace to
pend vCPU events for a vCPU that hasn't been initialized yet, leading to
KVM interpreting a bunch of uninitialized garbage for routing /
injecting the exception.

In one case the injection code and the hyp disagree on whether the vCPU
has a 32bit EL1 and put the vCPU into an illegal mode for AArch64,
tripping the BUG() in exception_target_el() during the next injection:

Reject the ioctls outright as no sane VMM would call these before
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT anyway. Even if it did the exception would've been
thrown away by the eventual reset of the vCPU's state.
