            Bug ID: 204177
           Summary: PT: Missing filtering on the MSRs
           Product: Virtualization
           Version: unspecified
    Kernel Version: 5.*
          Hardware: Intel
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: kvm
          Assignee: virtualization_kvm@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: max@m00nbsd.net
        Regression: No

In vmx.c::vmx_get_msr(), there is some missing filtering on the PT (RTIT) MSRs.
For example RTIT_CR3_MATCH:

        case MSR_IA32_RTIT_CR3_MATCH:
                if ((pt_mode != PT_MODE_HOST_GUEST) ||
                        (vmx->pt_desc.guest.ctl & RTIT_CTL_TRACEEN) ||
                        !intel_pt_validate_cap(vmx->pt_desc.caps,
                                                PT_CAP_cr3_filtering))
                        return 1;
                vmx->pt_desc.guest.cr3_match = data;
                break;

Here, 'cr3_match' is set to the value given by the guest. Later, in
pt_load_msr(), there is a blunt WRMSR:

        wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_RTIT_CR3_MATCH, ctx->cr3_match);

The Intel SDM indicates that

        "IA32_RTIT_CR3_MATCH[4:0] are reserved and must be 0; an attempt to
         set those bits using WRMSR causes a #GP."

Given that KVM does not ensure that the aforementioned bits are zero, it seems
that the guest could #GP the host.
