Subject: KVM guest sometimes failed to boot because of kernel stack overflow if KPTI is enabled on a hisilicon ARM64 platform.
Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2018 22:18:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5B2A6218.3030201@hisilicon.com> (raw)

Hi All,

We have observed KVM guest sometimes failed to boot because of kernel stack
overflow if KPTI is enabled on a hisilicon arm64 platform.

We also tested with different kernel version and found it is only
happened if the KPTI and KVM(enable-kvm & cpu=host) are enabled on the 
guest.
The detail result is as below table.

+---------+----------+--------+------------+-------------------+
      |  host   |host KPTI | guest  | guest KPTI | kvm guest         |
      |  kernel |enabled   | kernel | enabled    | booting result    |
+---------+----------+--------+------------+-------------------+
      |  4.17   |     Y    |  4.17  |     Y      |  stack overflow   |
+---------+----------+--------+------------+-------------------+
      |  4.17   |     Y    |  4.16  |     NA     | OK          |
+---------+----------+--------+------------+-------------------+
      |  4.16   |     NA   |  4.17  |     Y      |  stack overflow   |
+---------+----------+--------+------------+-------------------+
      |  4.16   |     NA   |  4.16  |     NA     | OK          |
+---------+----------+--------+------------+-------------------+

A simple walk-around is adding this platform into the "kpti_safe_list".
But it does not resolve the issue indeed.
Could you please share any hint how to resolve this kind issue?
Thanks!

Another issue we found is "kpti_install_ng_mappings" will be invoked
even "kpti=off" has been added in the kernel command line. Is that expected?
This is because "kpti" is not a *early* param that "init_cpu_features" will
be invoked before parsing the param.

The command we are using to run the guest is as:

     ./qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt,kernel_irqchip=on,gic-version=3 
-cpu host
     -enable-kvm -smp 1 -m 1024 -kernel ./Image -initrd 
../mini-rootfs-arm64.cpio.gz
     -nographic -append "rdinit=init console=ttyAMA0 
earlycon=pl011,0x9000000"

The log is as below:
