The userspace exception injection API and code path are entirely unprepared for exceptions that might cause a VM-exit from L2 to L1, so the best course of action may be to simply disallow this for now. 1. The API provides no mechanism for userspace to specify the new DR6 bits for a #DB exception or the new CR2 value for a #PF exception. Presumably, userspace is expected to modify these registers directly with KVM_SET_SREGS before the next KVM_RUN ioctl. However, in the event that L1 intercepts the exception, these registers should not be changed. Instead, the new values should be provided in the exit_qualification field of vmcs12 (Intel SDM vol 3, section 27.1). 2. In the case of a userspace-injected #DB, inject_pending_event() clears DR7.GD before calling vmx_queue_exception(). However, in the event that L1 intercepts the exception, this is too early, because DR7.GD should not be modified by a #DB that causes a VM-exit directly (Intel SDM vol 3, section 27.1). 3. If the injected exception is a #PF, nested_vmx_check_exception() doesn't properly check whether or not L1 is interested in the associated error code (using the #PF error code mask and match fields from vmcs12). It may either return 0 when it should call nested_vmx_vmexit() or vice versa. 4. nested_vmx_check_exception() assumes that it is dealing with a hardware-generated exception intercept from L2, with some of the relevant details (the VM-exit interruption-information and the exit qualification) live in vmcs02. For userspace-injected exceptions, this is not the case. 5. prepare_vmcs12() assumes that when its exit_intr_info argument specifies valid information with a valid error code that it can VMREAD the VM-exit interruption error code from vmcs02. For userspace-injected exceptions, this is not the case. Signed-off-by: Jim Mattson <jmattson@google.com> Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> |
