[PATCH v7 00/26] Nested SVM fixes, cleanups, and hardening

[PATCH v7 00/26] Nested SVM fixes, cleanups, and hardening

[Yosry Ahmed]

A group of semi-related fixes, cleanups, and hardening patches for nSVM.
The series is essentially a group of related mini-series stitched
together for syntactic and semantic dependencies. The first 17 patches
(except patch 3) are all optimistically CC'd to stable as they are fixes
or refactoring leading up to bug fixes. Although I am not sure how much
of that will actually apply to stable trees.

Patches 1-3 here are v2 of the last 3 patches in the LBRV fixes series
[1]. The first 3 patches of [1] are already upstream.

Patches 4-12 are fixes for failure handling in the nested VMRUN and
#VMEXIT code paths.

Patches 13-17 are fixes for missing or made-up consistency checks.

Patches 18-19 are renames and cleanups.

Patches 20-25 add hardening to reading the VMCB12, caching all used
fields in the save area to prevent theoritical TOC-TOU bugs, sanitizing
used fields in the control area, and restricting accesses to the VMCB12
through guest memory.

Finally, patch 26 is a selftest for nested VMRUN and #VMEXIT failures
due to failing to map vmcb12.

v6 -> v7:
- Dropped unification of VMRUN failure paths and refactoring patches
  leading up to it, consistency checks are now moved into the helper
  copying vmcb12 to cache instead of enter_svm_guest_mode().
- Clear reserved bits in dbgctl in KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE.
- Dropped consistency check on hCR0 as CR0.PG is already checked.
- Dropped redundant check on CR4.PAE in new CS consistency check.
- Correctly cache clean bits from vmcb12.
- Update selftest to use a single VMRUN instruction and avoid missing
  post-VMRUN L1 registers restore.

[PATCH v7 01/26] KVM: nSVM: Avoid clearing VMCB_LBR in vmcb12

[Yosry Ahmed]

svm_copy_lbrs() always marks VMCB_LBR dirty in the destination VMCB.
However, nested_svm_vmexit() uses it to copy LBRs to vmcb12, and
clearing clean bits in vmcb12 is not architecturally defined.

Move vmcb_mark_dirty() to callers and drop it for vmcb12.

This also facilitates incoming refactoring that does not pass the entire
VMCB to svm_copy_lbrs().

[PATCH v7 02/26] KVM: SVM: Switch svm_copy_lbrs() to a macro

[Yosry Ahmed]

In preparation for using svm_copy_lbrs() with 'struct vmcb_save_area'
without a containing 'struct vmcb', and later even 'struct
vmcb_save_area_cached', make it a macro.

Macros are generally not preferred compared to functions, mainly due to
type-safety. However, in this case it seems like having a simple macro
copying a few fields is better than copy-pasting the same 5 lines of
code in different places.

[PATCH v7 03/26] KVM: SVM: Add missing save/restore handling of LBR MSRs

[Yosry Ahmed]

MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR and LBR MSRs are currently not enumerated by
KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, and LBR MSRs cannot be set with KVM_SET_MSRS. So
save/restore is completely broken.

Fix it by adding the MSRs to msrs_to_save_base, and allowing writes to
LBR MSRs from userspace only (as they are read-only MSRs). Additionally,
to correctly restore L1's LBRs while L2 is running, make sure the LBRs
are copied from the captured VMCB01 save area in svm_copy_vmrun_state().

For VMX, this also adds save/restore handling of KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST.
For unspported MSR_IA32_LAST* MSRs, kvm_do_msr_access() should 0 these
MSRs on userspace reads, and ignore KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED on userspace
writes.

Tomato, tomato, but maybe make this

	if (kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_LBRV)) {

to capture that this requires nested support.  I can't imagine we'll ever disable
X86_FEATURE_LBRV when nested=1 && lbrv=1, but I don't see any harm in being
paranoid in this case.

Shouldn't these be gated on lbrv?  If LBRV is truly unsupported, KVM would be
writing "undefined" fields and clearing "unknown" clean bits.

Specifically, if we do:

		if (!lbrv)
			return KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED;

then kvm_do_msr_access() will allow writes of '0' from the host, via this code:

	if (host_initiated && !*data && kvm_is_advertised_msr(msr))
		return 0;

And then in the read side, do e.g.:

	msr_info->data = lbrv ? svm->vmcb->save.dbgctl : 0;

to ensure KVM won't feed userspace garbage (the VMCB fields should be '0', but
there's no reason to risk that).

The changelog also needs to call out that kvm_set_msr_common() returns
KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED for unhandled MSRs (i.e. for VMX and TDX), and that
kvm_get_msr_common() explicitly zeros the data for MSR_IA32_LASTxxx (because per
b5e2fec0ebc3 ("KVM: Ignore DEBUGCTL MSRs with no effect"), old and crust kernels
would read the MSRs on Intel...).

So all in all (not yet tested), this?  If this is the only issue in the series,
or at least in the stable@ part of the series, no need for a v8 (I've obviously
already done the fixup).

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Add missing save/restore handling of LBR MSRs

MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR and LBR MSRs are currently not enumerated by
KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, and LBR MSRs cannot be set with KVM_SET_MSRS. So
save/restore is completely broken.

Fix it by adding the MSRs to msrs_to_save_base, and allowing writes to
LBR MSRs from userspace only (as they are read-only MSRs) if LBR
virtualization is enabled.  Additionally, to correctly restore L1's LBRs
while L2 is running, make sure the LBRs are copied from the captured
VMCB01 save area in svm_copy_vmrun_state().

Note, for VMX, this also fixes a flaw where MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR isn't
reported as an MSR to save/restore.

Note #2, over-reporting MSR_IA32_LASTxxx on Intel is ok, as KVM already
handles unsupported reads and writes thanks to commit b5e2fec0ebc3 ("KVM:
Ignore DEBUGCTL MSRs with no effect") (kvm_do_msr_access() will morph the
unsupported userspace write into a nop).

Good call.

That was captured (somehow):

For VMX, this also adds save/restore handling of KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST.
For unspported MSR_IA32_LAST* MSRs, kvm_do_msr_access() should 0 these
MSRs on userspace reads, and ignore KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED on userspace
writes.

Looks good with a minor nit below (could be a followup).

There's so much repeated code here. We can use gotos to share code,
but I am not sure if that's a strict improvement. We can also use a
helper, perhaps?

static int svm_set_lbr_msr(struct vcpu_svm *svm, struct msr_data *msr,
u64 data, u64 *field)
{
       if (!lbrv)
               return KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED;
       if (!msr->host_initiated)
               return 1;
       *field = data;
        vmcb_mark_dirty(svm->vmcb, VMCB_LBR);
        return 0;
}

...

       case MSR_IA32_LASTBRANCHFROMIP:
             ret = svm_set_lbr_msr(svm, msr, data, &svm->vmcb->save.br_from);
             if (ret)
                        return ret;
              break;
...

Where's your sense of adventure?

	case MSR_IA32_LASTBRANCHFROMIP:
	case MSR_IA32_LASTBRANCHTOIP:
	case MSR_IA32_LASTINTFROMIP:
	case MSR_IA32_LASTINTTOIP:
		if (!lbrv)
			return KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED;
		if (!msr->host_initiated)
			return 1;
		*(&svm->vmcb->save.br_from + (ecx - MSR_IA32_LASTBRANCHFROMIP)) = data;
		vmcb_mark_dirty(svm->vmcb, VMCB_LBR);
		break;

Jokes aside, maybe this, to dedup get() at the same time?

[PATCH v7 04/26] KVM: selftests: Add a test for LBR save/restore (ft. nested)

[Yosry Ahmed]

Add a selftest exercising save/restore with usage of LBRs in both L1 and
L2, and making sure all LBRs remain intact.

[PATCH v7 05/26] KVM: nSVM: Always inject a #GP if mapping VMCB12 fails on nested VMRUN

[Yosry Ahmed]

nested_svm_vmrun() currently only injects a #GP if kvm_vcpu_map() fails
with -EINVAL. But it could also fail with -EFAULT if creating a host
mapping failed. Inject a #GP in all cases, no reason to treat failure
modes differently.

[Yosry Ahmed]

Refactor the vCPU cap and vmcb12 flag checks into a helper. The
unlikely() annotation is dropped, it's unlikely (huh) to make a
difference and the CPU will probably predict it better on its own.

[PATCH v7 08/26] KVM: nSVM: Triple fault if mapping VMCB12 fails on nested #VMEXIT

[Yosry Ahmed]

KVM currently injects a #GP and hopes for the best if mapping VMCB12
fails on nested #VMEXIT, and only if the failure mode is -EINVAL.
Mapping the VMCB12 could also fail if creating host mappings fails.

After the #GP is injected, nested_svm_vmexit() bails early, without
cleaning up (e.g. KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES is set, is_guest_mode()
is true, etc).

Instead of optionally injecting a #GP, triple fault the guest if mapping
VMCB12 fails since KVM cannot make a sane recovery. The APM states that
a #VMEXIT will triple fault if host state is illegal or an exception
occurs while loading host state, so the behavior is not entirely made
up.

Do not return early from nested_svm_vmexit(), continue cleaning up the
vCPU state (e.g. switch back to vmcb01), to handle the failure as
gracefully as possible.

[PATCH v7 09/26] KVM: nSVM: Triple fault if restore host CR3 fails on nested #VMEXIT

[Yosry Ahmed]

If loading L1's CR3 fails on a nested #VMEXIT, nested_svm_vmexit()
returns an error code that is ignored by most callers, and continues to
run L1 with corrupted state. A sane recovery is not possible in this
case, and HW behavior is to cause a shutdown. Inject a triple fault
,nstead, and do not return early from nested_svm_vmexit(). Continue
cleaning up the vCPU state (e.g. clear pending exceptions), to handle
the failure as gracefully as possible.

From the APM:
	Upon #VMEXIT, the processor performs the following actions in
	order to return to the host execution context:

	...
	if (illegal host state loaded, or exception while loading
	    host state)
		shutdown
	else
		execute first host instruction following the VMRUN

Remove the return value of nested_svm_vmexit(), which is mostly
unchecked anyway.

Uber nit, use spaces instead of tabs in changelogs, as indenting eight chars is
almost always overkill and changelogs are more likely to be viewed in a reader
that has tab-stops set to something other than eight.  E.g. using two spaces as
the margin and then manual indentation of four:

From the APM:

  Upon #VMEXIT, the processor performs the following actions in order to
  return to the host execution context:

  ...

  if (illegal host state loaded, or exception while loading host state)
      shutdown
  else
      execute first host instruction following the VMRUN

Remove the return value of nested_svm_vmexit(), which is mostly
unchecked anyway.

Heh, and super duper uber nit, "Cc:" is much more common than "CC:" (I'm actually
somewhat surprised checkpatch didn't complain since it's so particular about case
for other trailers).

Yeah I started doing that recently but I didn't go back to change old ones.

That was a mistake, I think I generally use Cc.

[PATCH v7 10/26] KVM: nSVM: Clear GIF on nested #VMEXIT(INVALID)

[Yosry Ahmed]

According to the APM, GIF is set to 0 on any #VMEXIT, including
an #VMEXIT(INVALID) due to failed consistency checks. Clear GIF on
consistency check failures.

[PATCH v7 11/26] KVM: nSVM: Clear EVENTINJ fields in vmcb12 on nested #VMEXIT

[Yosry Ahmed]

According to the APM, from the reference of the VMRUN instruction:

	Upon #VMEXIT, the processor performs the following actions in
	order to return to the host execution context:
	...
	clear EVENTINJ field in VMCB

KVM syncs EVENTINJ fields from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 on every L2->L0
 #VMEXIT. Since these fields are zeroed by the CPU on #VMEXIT, they will
mostly be zeroed in vmcb12 on nested #VMEXIT by nested_svm_vmexit().
However, this is not the case when:
1. Consistency checks fail, as nested_svm_vmexit() is not called.
2. Entering guest mode fails before L2 runs (e.g. due to failed load of
   CR3).

(2) was broken by commit 2d8a42be0e2b ("KVM: nSVM: synchronize VMCB
controls updated by the processor on every vmexit"), as prior to that
nested_svm_vmexit() always zeroed EVENTINJ fields.

Explicitly clear the fields all nested #VMEXIT code paths.

[PATCH v7 12/26] KVM: nSVM: Clear tracking of L1->L2 NMI and soft IRQ on nested #VMEXIT

[Yosry Ahmed]

KVM clears tracking of L1->L2 injected NMIs (i.e. nmi_l1_to_l2) and soft
IRQs (i.e. soft_int_injected) on a synthesized #VMEXIT(INVALID) due to
failed VMRUN. However, they are not explicitly cleared in other
synthesized #VMEXITs.

soft_int_injected is always cleared after the first VMRUN of L2 when
completing interrupts, as any re-injection is then tracked by KVM
(instead of purely in vmcb02).

nmi_l1_to_l2 is not cleared after the first VMRUN if NMI injection
failed, as KVM still needs to keep track that the NMI originated from L1
to avoid blocking NMIs for L1. It is only cleared when the NMI injection
succeeds.

KVM could synthesize a #VMEXIT to L1 before successfully injecting the
NMI into L2 (e.g. due to a #NPF on L2's NMI handler in L1's NPTs). In
this case, nmi_l1_to_l2 will remain true, and KVM may not correctly mask
NMIs and intercept IRET when injecting an NMI into L1.

Clear both nmi_l1_to_l2 and soft_int_injected in nested_svm_vmexit() to
capture all #VMEXITs, except those that occur due to failed consistency
checks, as those happen before nmi_l1_to_l2 or soft_int_injected are
set.

This last paragraph confused me a little bit.  I read "to capture all #VMEXITs"
as some sort of "catching" that KVM was doing.  I've got it reworded to this:

Clear both nmi_l1_to_l2 and soft_int_injected in nested_svm_vmexit(), i.e.
for all #VMEXITs except those that occur due to failed consistency checks,
as those happen before nmi_l1_to_l2 or soft_int_injected are set.

[PATCH v7 13/26] KVM: nSVM: Drop nested_vmcb_check_{save/control}() wrappers

[Yosry Ahmed]

The wrappers provide little value and make it harder to see what KVM is
checking in the normal flow. Drop them.

Opportunistically fixup comments referring to the functions, adding '()'
to make it clear it's a reference to a function.

No functional change intended.

[PATCH v7 14/26] KVM: nSVM: Drop the non-architectural consistency check for NP_ENABLE

[Yosry Ahmed]

KVM currenty fails a nested VMRUN and injects VMEXIT_INVALID (aka
SVM_EXIT_ERR) if L1 sets NP_ENABLE and the host does not support NPTs.
On first glance, it seems like the check should actually be for
guest_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_NPT) instead, as it is possible for the
host to support NPTs but the guest CPUID to not advertise it.

However, the consistency check is not architectural to begin with. The
APM does not mention VMEXIT_INVALID if NP_ENABLE is set on a processor
that does not have X86_FEATURE_NPT. Hence, NP_ENABLE should be ignored
if X86_FEATURE_NPT is not available for L1, so sanitize it when copying
from the VMCB12 to KVM's cache.

Apart from the consistency check, NP_ENABLE in VMCB12 is currently
ignored because the bit is actually copied from VMCB01 to VMCB02, not
from VMCB12.

[PATCH v7 15/26] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for nCR3 validity

[Yosry Ahmed]

From the APM Volume #2, 15.25.4 (24593—Rev. 3.42—March 2024):

	When VMRUN is executed with nested paging enabled
	(NP_ENABLE = 1), the following conditions are considered illegal
	state combinations, in addition to those mentioned in
	“Canonicalization and Consistency Checks”:
	• Any MBZ bit of nCR3 is set.
	• Any G_PAT.PA field has an unsupported type encoding or any
	reserved field in G_PAT has a nonzero value.

Add the consistency check for nCR3 being a legal GPA with no MBZ bits
set. The G_PAT.PA check was proposed separately [*].

Put the full if-statement in CC(), that way the tracepoint will capture the entire
clause, i.e. will help the reader understand than nested_cr3 was checked
specifically because NPT was enabled.

I had it this way in v6 because there was another consistency check
dependent on NPT being enabled:
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260224223405.3270433-21-yosry@kernel.org/.

I dropped the patch in v7 as I realized L1's CR0.PG was already being
checked, but it didn't occur to me to go back and update this. Good
catch.

[PATCH v7 16/26] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for EFER, CR0, CR4, and CS

[Yosry Ahmed]

According to the APM Volume #2, 15.5, Canonicalization and Consistency
Checks (24593—Rev. 3.42—March 2024), the following condition (among
others) results in a #VMEXIT with VMEXIT_INVALID (aka SVM_EXIT_ERR):

  EFER.LME, CR0.PG, CR4.PAE, CS.L, and CS.D are all non-zero.

In the list of consistency checks done when EFER.LME and CR0.PG are set,
add a check that CS.L and CS.D are not both set, after the existing
check that CR4.PAE is set.

This is functionally a nop because the nested VMRUN results in
SVM_EXIT_ERR in HW, which is forwarded to L1, but KVM makes all
consistency checks before a VMRUN is actually attempted.

[PATCH v7 17/26] KVM: nSVM: Add missing consistency check for EVENTINJ

[Yosry Ahmed]

According to the APM Volume #2, 15.20 (24593—Rev. 3.42—March 2024):

  VMRUN exits with VMEXIT_INVALID error code if either:
  • Reserved values of TYPE have been specified, or
  • TYPE = 3 (exception) has been specified with a vector that does not
    correspond to an exception (this includes vector 2, which is an NMI,
    not an exception).

Add the missing consistency checks to KVM. For the second point, inject
VMEXIT_INVALID if the vector is anything but the vectors defined by the
APM for exceptions. Reserved vectors are also considered invalid, which
matches the HW behavior. Vector 9 (i.e. #CSO) is considered invalid
because it is reserved on modern CPUs, and according to LLMs no CPUs
exist supporting SVM and producing #CSOs.

Defined exceptions could be different between virtual CPUs as new CPUs
define new vectors. In a best effort to dynamically define the valid
vectors, make all currently defined vectors as valid except those
obviously tied to a CPU feature: SHSTK -> #CP and SEV-ES -> #VC. As new
vectors are defined, they can similarly be tied to corresponding CPU
features.

Invalid vectors on specific (e.g. old) CPUs that are missed by KVM
should be rejected by HW anyway.

[PATCH v7 18/26] KVM: SVM: Rename vmcb->nested_ctl to vmcb->misc_ctl

[Yosry Ahmed]

The 'nested_ctl' field is misnamed. Although the first bit is for nested
paging, the other defined bits are for SEV/SEV-ES. Other bits in the
same field according to the APM (but not defined by KVM) include "Guest
Mode Execution Trap", "Enable INVLPGB/TLBSYNC", and other control bits
unrelated to 'nested'.

There is nothing common among these bits, so just name the field
misc_ctl. Also rename the flags accordingly.

[PATCH v7 19/26] KVM: SVM: Rename vmcb->virt_ext to vmcb->misc_ctl2

[Yosry Ahmed]

'virt' is confusing in the VMCB because it is relative and ambiguous.
The 'virt_ext' field includes bits for LBR virtualization and
VMSAVE/VMLOAD virtualization, so it's just another miscellaneous control
field. Name it as such.

While at it, move the definitions of the bits below those for
'misc_ctl' and rename them for consistency.

[PATCH v7 20/26] KVM: nSVM: Cache all used fields from VMCB12

[Yosry Ahmed]

Currently, most fields used from VMCB12 are cached in
svm->nested.{ctl/save}. This is mainly to avoid TOC-TOU bugs. However,
for the save area, only the fields used in the consistency checks (i.e.
nested_vmcb_check_save()) were being cached. Other fields are read
directly from guest memory in nested_vmcb02_prepare_save().

While probably benign, this still makes it possible for TOC-TOU bugs to
happen. For example, RAX, RSP, and RIP are read twice, once to store in
VMCB02, and once to store in vcpu->arch.regs. It is possible for the
guest to modify the value between both reads, potentially causing nasty
bugs.

Harden against such bugs by caching everything in svm->nested.save.
Cache all the needed fields, and keep all accesses to the VMCB12
strictly in nested_svm_vmrun() for caching and early error injection.
Following changes will further limit the access to the VMCB12 in the
nested VMRUN path.

Introduce vmcb12_is_dirty() to use with the cached control fields
instead of vmcb_is_dirty(), similar to vmcb12_is_intercept().

Opportunistically order the copies in __nested_copy_vmcb_save_to_cache()
by the order in which the fields are defined in struct vmcb_save_area.

[PATCH v7 21/26] KVM: nSVM: Restrict mapping vmcb12 on nested VMRUN

[Yosry Ahmed]

All accesses to the vmcb12 in the guest memory on nested VMRUN are
limited to nested_svm_vmrun() copying vmcb12 fields and writing them on
failed consistency checks. However, vmcb12 remains mapped throughout
nested_svm_vmrun().  Mapping and unmapping around usages is possible,
but it becomes easy-ish to introduce bugs where 'vmcb12' is used after
being unmapped.

Move reading the vmcb12, copying to cache, and consistency checks from
nested_svm_vmrun() into a new helper, nested_svm_copy_vmcb12_to_cache()
to limit the scope of the mapping.

[PATCH v7 22/26] KVM: nSVM: Use PAGE_MASK to drop lower bits of bitmap GPAs from vmcb12

[Yosry Ahmed]

Use PAGE_MASK to drop the lower bits from IOPM_BASE_PA and MSRPM_BASE_PA
while copying them instead of dropping the bits afterward with a
hardcoded mask.

No functional change intended.

[PATCH v7 23/26] KVM: nSVM: Sanitize TLB_CONTROL field when copying from vmcb12

[Yosry Ahmed]

The APM defines possible values for TLB_CONTROL as 0, 1, 3, and 7 -- all
of which are always allowed for KVM guests as KVM always supports
X86_FEATURE_FLUSHBYASID. Only copy bits 0 to 2 from vmcb12's
TLB_CONTROL, such that no unhandled or reserved bits end up in vmcb02.

Note that TLB_CONTROL in vmcb12 is currently ignored by KVM, as it nukes
the TLB on nested transitions anyway (see
nested_svm_transition_tlb_flush()). However, such sanitization will be
needed once the TODOs there are addressed, and it's minimal churn to add
it now.

[PATCH v7 24/26] KVM: nSVM: Sanitize INT/EVENTINJ fields when copying from vmcb12

[Yosry Ahmed]

Make sure all fields used from vmcb12 in creating the vmcb02 are
sanitized, such that no unhandled or reserved bits end up in the vmcb02.

The following control fields are read from vmcb12 and have bits that are
either reserved or not handled/advertised by KVM: tlb_ctl, int_ctl,
int_state, int_vector, event_inj, misc_ctl, and misc_ctl2.

The following fields do not require any extra sanitizing:
- tlb_ctl: already being sanitized.
- int_ctl: bits from vmcb12 are copied bit-by-bit as needed.
- misc_ctl: only used in consistency checks (particularly NP_ENABLE).
- misc_ctl2: bits from vmcb12 are copied bit-by-bit as needed.

For the remaining fields (int_vector, int_state, and event_inj), make
sure only defined bits are copied from L1's vmcb12 into KVM'cache by
defining appropriate masks where needed.

[PATCH v7 25/26] KVM: nSVM: Only copy SVM_MISC_ENABLE_NP from VMCB01's misc_ctl

[Yosry Ahmed]

The 'misc_ctl' field in VMCB02 is taken as-is from VMCB01. However, the
only bit that needs to copied is SVM_MISC_ENABLE_NP, as all other known
bits in misc_ctl are related to SEV guests, and KVM doesn't support
nested virtualization for SEV guests.

Only copy SVM_MISC_ENABLE_NP to harden against future bugs if/when other
bits are set for L1 but should not be set for L2.

Opportunistically add a comment explaining why SVM_MISC_ENABLE_NP is
taken from VMCB01 and not VMCB02.

Why would this raise #GP? That isn't architected behavior.

I don't see architected behavior in the APM for what happens if VMRUN
fails to load the VMCB from memory. I guess it should be the same as
what would happen if a PTE is pointing to a physical address that
doesn't exist? Maybe #MC?

Reads from non-existent memory return all 1's, so I would expect a
#VMEXIT with exitcode VMEXIT_INVALID.

Today I learned :) Do all x86 CPUs do this?

This would actually simplify the logic, as it would be the same
failure mode as failed consistency checks. That being said, KVM has
been injecting a #GP when it fails to map vmcb12 since the beginning.

It also does the same thing for VMSAVE/VMLOAD, which seems to also not
be architectural. This would be more annoying to handle correctly
because we'll need to copy all 1's to the relevant fields in vmcb12 or
vmcb01.

Sean, what do you want us to do here?

Yes. If no device claims the address, reads return all 1s. I think you
can thank pull-up resistors for that.

KVM has never been known for its attention to detail.

Or just exit to userspace with
KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR/KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION. I think on the
VMX side, this sort of thing goes through kvm_handle_memory_failure().

Ya, it's officially documented PCI behavior.  Writes are dropped, reads return
all 1s.

LOL! PCI bus?!? These semantics were cast in stone long before anyone

Looks good, I was going to say ignore the series @
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260305203005.1021335-1-yosry@kernel.org/,
because I will incorporate the fix in it after patch 1 (the cleanup),
and patch 2 will need to be redone such that the test checks for
KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR/KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION. But then I
stumbled upon the VMSAVE/VMLOAD behavior and the #GP I was observing
with vls=1 (see cover letter).

So I dug a bit deeper. Turns out with vls=1, if the GPA is supported
but not mapped, VMLOAD will generate a #NPF, and because there is no
slot KVM will install an MMIO SPTE and emulate the instruction. The
emulator will end up calling check_svme_pa() -> emulate_gp(). I didn't
catch this initially because I was tracing kvm_queue_exception_e() and
didn't get any hits, but I can see the call to
inject_emulated_exception() with #GP so probably the compiler just
inlines it.

Anyway, we'll also need to update the emulator. Perhaps just return
X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE from check_svme_pa() instead of injecting #GP,
although I don't think this will always end up returning to userspace
with
KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR/KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION. Looking at
handle_emulation_failure(), we'll only immediately exit to userspace
if KVM_CAP_EXIT_ON_EMULATION_FAILURE is set (because EMULTYPE_SKIP
won't be set). Otherwise we'll inject a #UD, and only exit to
userspace if the VMSAVE/VMLOAD came from L1.

Not sure if that's good enough or if we need to augment the emulator
somehow (e.g. new return value that always exits to userspace? Or
allow EMULTYPE_SKIP x86_emulate_insn() -> check_perm() to change the
emulation type to add EMULTYPE_SKIP?

Actually, not quite. check_svme_pa() should keep injecting #GP, but
based on checking rax against kvm_host.maxphyaddr instead of the
hardcoded 0xffff000000000000ULL value. The address my test is using is
0xffffffffff000, which is a legal address on Turin (52 bit phyaddr),
but check_svme_pa() thinks it isn't and injects #GP. I think if that
is fixed, check_svme_pa() will succeed, and then emulation will fail
anyway because it's not implemented. So that seems like a separate
bug.

But then if the address is below maxphyaddr and the EFER.SVME check
succeeds, I think we should return X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE? I cannot
immediately tell if this will organically happen in x86_emulate_insn()
after check_svme_pa() returns.

The rest of what I said stands.

Shouldn't it check against the guest's maxphyaddr, in case
allow_smaller_maxphyaddr is in use?

Why not call kvm_prepare_emulation_failure_exit() directly? Is the
premise that kvm_handle_memory_failure() might evolve to do more
things for emulation failures that are specifically caused by memory
failures, other than potentially injecting an exception?

Mostly because my mental coin-flip came up heads.  But it's also one less line
of code, woot woot!

Yeah, more or less.  I doubt kvm_handle_memory_failure() will ever actually evolve
into anything more sophisticated, but at the very least, using
kvm_handle_memory_failure() documents _why_ KVM can't handle emulation.

On second thought, I think using X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED would be more appropriate.
The memremap() is only reachable if allow_unsafe_mappings is enabled, and so for
a "default" configuration, failure can only occur on:

	if (is_error_noslot_pfn(map->pfn))
		return -EINVAL;

Which doesn't _guarantee_ that emulated I/O is required, but we're definitely
beyond splitting hairs at that point.

Yeah I agree with this too.
