Subject: [PATCH] x86/pvh: Call C code via the kernel virtual mapping
Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2025 12:08:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250411160833.12944-1-jason.andryuk@amd.com> (raw)
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit e8fbc0d9cab6c1ee6403f42c0991b0c1d5dbc092 ]
Calling C code via a different mapping than it was linked at is
problematic, because the compiler assumes that RIP-relative and absolute
symbol references are interchangeable. GCC in particular may use
RIP-relative per-CPU variable references even when not using -fpic.
So call xen_prepare_pvh() via its kernel virtual mapping on x86_64, so
that those RIP-relative references produce the correct values. This
matches the pre-existing behavior for i386, which also invokes
xen_prepare_pvh() via the kernel virtual mapping before invoking
startup_32 with paging disabled again.
Fixes: 7243b93345f7 ("xen/pvh: Bootstrap PVH guest")

Stable backport for 6.6 .. 5.10.
Direct cherry-pick needed context fixups, which are made here. This
upstream commit was previously included in stable, but with the pre-req
of b464b461d27d ("x86/pvh: Set phys_base when calling
xen_prepare_pvh()"). Both were subsequently reverted as b464b461d27d
caused regressions. This backport, e8fbc0d9cab6, in isolation is
correct.
This fixes a regression introduced by the backport of upstream commit
b4845bb6383821a9516ce30af3a27dc873e37fd4 ("x86/xen: add central
hypercall functions")
b4845bb63838 adds a comparison between rip-relative xen_hypercall_amd()
and kernel virtual address of xen_hypercall_amd() to determine whether
to use the AMD or Intel variant. When running from the identity mapped
address, the comparison always fail. The leads to calling
xen_hypercall_intel(), even on AMD processors, which faults and halts
boot. This affects PVH dom0 - domU doesn't seem to be affected.
This patch performs the rip-relative mapping from the kernel virtual
mapping, so the values can be properly compared.
