Subject: [PATCH v3 14/16] x86/fred: Play nice with invoking asm_fred_entry_from_kvm() on non-FRED hardware
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2025 12:20:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250714103441.245417052@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250714102011.758008629@infradead.org
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Modify asm_fred_entry_from_kvm() to allow it to be invoked by KVM even
when FRED isn't fully enabled, e.g. when running with
CONFIG_X86_FRED=y on non-FRED hardware. This will allow forcing KVM
to always use the FRED entry points for 64-bit kernels, which in turn
will eliminate a rather gross non-CFI indirect call that KVM uses to
trampoline IRQs by doing IDT lookups.
The point of asm_fred_entry_from_kvm() is to bridge between C
(vmx:handle_external_interrupt_irqoff()) and more C
(__fred_entry_from_kvm()) while changing the calling context to appear
like an interrupt (pt_regs). Making the whole thing bound by C ABI.
All that remains for non-FRED hardware is to restore RSP (to undo the
redzone and alignment). However the trivial change would result in
code like:
push %rbp
mov %rsp, %rbp
sub $REDZONE, %rsp
and $MASK, %rsp
PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS
push %rbp
POP_REGS
pop %rbp <-- *objtool fail*
mov %rbp, %rsp
pop %rbp
ret
And this will confuse objtool something wicked -- it gets confused by
the extra pop %rbp, not realizing the push and pop preserve the value.
Rather than trying to each objtool about this, recognise that since
the code is bound by C ABI on both ends and interrupts are not allowed
to change pt_regs (only exceptions are) it is sufficient to PUSH_REGS
in order to create pt_regs, but there is no reason to POP_REGS --
provided the callee-saved registers are preserved.
So avoid clearing callee-saved regs and skip POP_REGS.
