[PATCH 0/5] kvm: fix latent guest entry/exit bugs

[PATCH 0/5] kvm: fix latent guest entry/exit bugs

[Mark Rutland]

Several architectures have latent bugs around guest entry/exit, most
notably:

1) Several architectures enable interrupts between guest_enter() and
   guest_exit(). As this period is an RCU extended quiescent state (EQS) this
   is unsound unless the irq entry code explicitly wakes RCU, which most
   architectures only do for entry from usersapce or idle.

   I believe this affects: arm64, riscv, s390

   I am not sure about powerpc.

2) Several architectures permit instrumentation of code between
   guest_enter() and guest_exit(), e.g. KASAN, KCOV, KCSAN, etc. As
   instrumentation may directly o indirectly use RCU, this has the same
   problems as with interrupts.

   I believe this affects: arm64, mips, powerpc, riscv, s390

3) Several architectures do not inform lockdep and tracing that
   interrupts are enabled during the execution of the guest, or do so in
   an incorrect order. Generally
   this means that logs will report IRQs being masked for much longer
   than is actually the case, which is not ideal for debugging. I don't
   know whether this affects the correctness of lockdep.

   I believe this affects: arm64, mips, powerpc, riscv, s390

This was previously fixed for x86 specifically in a series of commits:

  87fa7f3e98a1310e ("x86/kvm: Move context tracking where it belongs")
  0642391e2139a2c1 ("x86/kvm/vmx: Add hardirq tracing to guest enter/exit")
  9fc975e9efd03e57 ("x86/kvm/svm: Add hardirq tracing on guest enter/exit")
  3ebccdf373c21d86 ("x86/kvm/vmx: Move guest enter/exit into .noinstr.text")
  135961e0a7d555fc ("x86/kvm/svm: Move guest enter/exit into .noinstr.text")
  160457140187c5fb ("KVM: x86: Defer vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling")
  bc908e091b326467 ("KVM: x86: Consolidate guest enter/exit logic to common helpers")

But other architectures were left broken, and the infrastructure for
handling this correctly is x86-specific.

This series introduces generic helper functions which can be used to
handle the problems above, and migrates architectures over to these,
fixing the latent issues.

I wasn't able to figure my way around powerpc and s390, so I have not
altered these. I'd appreciate if anyone could take a look at those
cases, and either have a go at patches or provide some feedback as to
any alternative approaches which work work better there.

I have build-tested the arm64, mips, riscv, and x86 cases, but I don't
have a suitable HW setup to test these, so any review and/or testing
would be much appreciated.

I've pushed the series (based on v5.16) to my kvm/entry-rework branch:

[PATCH 1/5] kvm: add exit_to_guest_mode() and enter_from_guest_mode()

[Mark Rutland]

When transitioning to/from guest mode, it is necessary to inform
lockdep, tracing, and RCU in a specific order, similar to the
requirements for transitions to/from user mode. Additionally, it is
necessary to perform vtime accounting for a window around running the
guest, with RCU enabled, such that timer interrupts taken from the guest
can be accounted as guest time.

Most architectures don't handle all the necessary pieces, and a have a
number of common bugs, including unsafe usage of RCU during the window
between guest_enter() and guest_exit().

On x86, this was dealt with across commits:

  87fa7f3e98a1310e ("x86/kvm: Move context tracking where it belongs")
  0642391e2139a2c1 ("x86/kvm/vmx: Add hardirq tracing to guest enter/exit")
  9fc975e9efd03e57 ("x86/kvm/svm: Add hardirq tracing on guest enter/exit")
  3ebccdf373c21d86 ("x86/kvm/vmx: Move guest enter/exit into .noinstr.text")
  135961e0a7d555fc ("x86/kvm/svm: Move guest enter/exit into .noinstr.text")
  160457140187c5fb ("KVM: x86: Defer vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling")
  bc908e091b326467 ("KVM: x86: Consolidate guest enter/exit logic to common helpers")

... but those fixes are specific to x86, and as the resulting logic
(while correct) is split across generic helper functions and
x86-specific helper functions, it is difficult to see that the
entry/exit accounting is balanced.

This patch adds generic helpers which architectures can use to handle
guest entry/exit consistently and correctly. The guest_{enter,exit}()
helpers are split into guest_timing_{enter,exit}() to perform vtime
accounting, and guest_context_{enter,exit}() to perform the necessary
context tracking and RCU management. The existing guest_{enter,exit}()
heleprs are left as wrappers of these.

Atop this, new exit_to_guest_mode() and enter_from_guest_mode() helpers
are added to handle the ordering of lockdep, tracing, and RCU manageent.
These are named to align with exit_to_user_mode() and
enter_from_user_mode().

Subsequent patches will migrate architectures over to the new helpers,
following a sequence:

	guest_timing_enter_irqoff();

	exit_to_guest_mode();
	< run the vcpu >
	enter_from_guest_mode();

	< take any pending IRQs >

	guest_timing_exit_irqoff();

This sequences handles all of the above correctly, and more clearly
balances the entry and exit portions, making it easier to understand.

The existing helpers are marked as deprecated, and will be removed once
all architectures have been converted.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Thanks a lot for looking into this and writing this up. I have a
couple of comments below, but that's pretty much cosmetic and is only
there to ensure that I actually understand this stuff. FWIW:

nit: "the last thing called" is terribly ambiguous. Any architecture
obviously calls a ****load of stuff after this point. Should this be
'the last thing involving RCU' instead?

nit: or rather, are about to be enabled? Certainly on arm64, the
enable happens much later, right at the point where we enter the guest
for real.

I agree this is unclear and I struggled to fing good wording for this. Is the
following any better?

/*
 * Enter guest context and enter an RCU extended quiescent state.
 *
 * Between guest_context_enter_irqoff() and guest_context_exit_irqoff() it is
 * unsafe to use any code which may directly or indirectly use RCU, tracing
 * (including IRQ flag tracing), or lockdep. All code in this period must be
 * non-instrumentable.
 */

If that's good I can add similar to guest_context_exit_irqoff().

True; I'd cribbed the wording from the comment block above exit_to_user_mode(),
but I stripped the context that made that clear. I'll make that:

	/**
	 * exit_to_guest_mode - Fixup state when exiting to guest mode
	 *
	 * Entry to a guest will enable interrupts, but the kernel state is
	 * interrupts disabled when this is invoked. Also tell RCU about it.
	 *
	 * 1) Trace interrupts on state
	 * 2) Invoke context tracking if enabled to adjust RCU state
	 * 3) Tell lockdep that interrupts are enabled
	 *
	 * Invoked from architecture specific code before entering a guest.
	 * Must be called with interrupts disabled and the caller must be
	 * non-instrumentable.
	 * The caller has to invoke guest_timing_enter_irqoff() before this.
	 *
	 * Note: this is analagous to exit_to_user_mode().
	 */

... with likewise for enter_from_guest_mode(), if that's clear enough?

FWIW, the comment blcok for exit_to_user_mode() in
include/linux/entry-common.h says:

	/**
	 * exit_to_user_mode - Fixup state when exiting to user mode
	 *
	 * Syscall/interrupt exit enables interrupts, but the kernel state is
	 * interrupts disabled when this is invoked. Also tell RCU about it.
	 *
	 * 1) Trace interrupts on state
	 * 2) Invoke context tracking if enabled to adjust RCU state
	 * 3) Invoke architecture specific last minute exit code, e.g. speculation
	 *    mitigations, etc.: arch_exit_to_user_mode()
	 * 4) Tell lockdep that interrupts are enabled
	 *

Thanks; I've pushed out an updated branch with those changes (including the
typo fixes). I'll wait until next week before sending out a v2 since I don't
think that meaningfully affects the arch bits for other architectures.

I'm not a fan of this nomenclature.  First and foremost, virtualization refers to
transfers to guest mode as VM-Enter, and transfers from guest mode as VM-Exit.
It's really, really confusing to read this code from a virtualization perspective.
The functions themselves are contradictory as the "enter" helper calls functions
with "exit" in their name, and vice versa.

We settled on xfer_to_guest_mode_work() for a similar conundrum in the past, though
I don't love using xfer_to/from_guest_mode() as that makes it sound like those
helpers handle the actual transition into guest mode, i.e. runs the vCPU.

To avoid too much bikeshedding, what about reusing the names we all compromised
on when we did this for x86 and call them kvm_guest_enter/exit_irqoff()?  If x86
is converted in the first patch then we could even avoid temporary #ifdefs.

Sure; FWIW I wasn't happy with the naming either, but I couldn't find anything
that was entirely clear, because it depends on whether you consider this an
entry..exit of guest context or an exit..entry of regular kernel context. I
went with exit_to_guest_mode() and enter_from_guest_mode() because that clearly
corresponded to exit_to_user_mode() and enter_from_user_mode(), and the
convention in the common entry code is to talk in terms of the regular kernel
context.

While I was working on this, I had guest_context_enter_irqoff() for
kernel->guest and guest_context_exit_irqoff() for guest->kernel, which also
matched the style of guest_timing_{enter,exit}_irqoff().

I'm happy to change to that, if that works for you?

I'd like to keep this somewhat orthogonal to the x86 changes (e.g. as other
architectures will need backports to stable at least for the RCU bug fix), so
I'd rather use a name that isn't immediately coupled with x86 changes.

Does the guest_context_{enter,exit}_irqoff() naming above work for you?

Thanks,
Mark.

I just realised that I already have guest_context_{enter,exit}_irqoff()
for the context-tracking bits alone, and so I'll need to use a different
name. For bisectability I can't use guest_{enter,exit}_irqoff()
immediately, so for now I'll go with guest_state_{enter,exit}_irqoff().

Once the conversion is complete and the deprecated bits are removed we
can rename those to guest_{enter,exit}_irqoff().

Thanks,
Mark.

[PATCH 2/5] kvm/arm64: rework guest entry logic

[Mark Rutland]

In kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() we enter an RCU extended quiescent state
(EQS) by calling guest_enter_irqoff(), and unmasked IRQs prior to
exiting the EQS by calling guest_exit(). As the IRQ entry code will not
wake RCU in this case, we may run the core IRQ code and IRQ handler
without RCU watching, leading to various potential problems.

Additionally, we do not inform lockdep or tracing that interrupts will
be enabled during guest execution, which caan lead to misleading traces
and warnings that interrupts have been enabled for overly-long periods.

This patch fixes these issues by using the new timing and context
entry/exit helpers to ensure that interrupts are handled during guest
vtime but with RCU watching, with a sequence:

	guest_timing_enter_irqoff();

	exit_to_guest_mode();
	< run the vcpu >
	enter_from_guest_mode();

	< take any pending IRQs >

	guest_timing_exit_irqoff();

Since instrumentation may make use of RCU, we must also ensure that no
instrumented code is run during the EQS. I've split out the critical
section into a new kvm_arm_enter_exit_vcpu() helper which is marked
noinstr.

Small nit: we may be able to elide this enable/isb/disable dance if a

Wouldn't that be broken when using GIC priority masking, since that can prevent
IRQS being signalled ot the PE?

I'm happy to rework this, but I'll need to think a bit harder about it. Would
you be happy if we did that as a follow-up?

I suspect we'll want to split that out into a helper, e.g.

static __always_inline handle_pending_host_irqs(void)
{
	/*
	 * TODO: explain PMR masking / signalling here
	 */
	if (!system_uses_irq_prio_masking() &&
	    !read_sysreg(isr_el1))
		return;
	
	local_irq_enable();
	isb();
	local_irq_disable();
}

You're right. But this can be made even simpler. We already know if
we've exited the guest because of an IRQ (ret tells us that), and
that's true whether we're using priority masking or not. It could be
as simple as:

	if (ARM_EXCEPTION_CODE(ret) == ARM_EXCEPTION_IRQ) {
		// We exited because of an interrupt. Let's take
		// it now to account timer ticks to the guest.
	 	local_irq_enable();
 		isb();
 		local_irq_disable();
	}

and that would avoid accounting the interrupt to the guest if it fired
after the exit took place.

Oh, absolutely. I want the flow to be correct before we make it
fast(-ish).

Cool; I'll leave that for now on the assumption we'll address that with a
follow-up patch, though your suggestion above looks "obviously" correct to me.

[PATCH 3/5] kvm/mips: rework guest entry logic

[Mark Rutland]

In kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() we use guest_enter_irqoff() and
guest_exit_irqoff() directly, with interrupts masked between these. As
we don't handle any timer ticks during this window, we will not account
time spent within the guest as guest time, which is unfortunate.

Additionally, we do not inform lockdep or tracing that interrupts will
be enabled during guest execution, which caan lead to misleading traces
and warnings that interrupts have been enabled for overly-long periods.

This patch fixes these issues by using the new timing and context
entry/exit helpers to ensure that interrupts are handled during guest
vtime but with RCU watching, with a sequence:

	guest_timing_enter_irqoff();

	exit_to_guest_mode();
	< run the vcpu >
	enter_from_guest_mode();

	< take any pending IRQs >

	guest_timing_exit_irqoff();

Since instrumentation may make use of RCU, we must also ensure that no
instrumented code is run during the EQS. I've split out the critical
section into a new kvm_mips_enter_exit_vcpu() helper which is marked
noinstr.

[PATCH 4/5] kvm/riscv: rework guest entry logic

[Mark Rutland]

In kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() we enter an RCU extended quiescent state
(EQS) by calling guest_enter_irqoff(), and unmask IRQs prior to exiting
the EQS by calling guest_exit(). As the IRQ entry code will not wake RCU
in this case, we may run the core IRQ code and IRQ handler without RCU
watching, leading to various potential problems.

Additionally, we do not inform lockdep or tracing that interrupts will
be enabled during guest execution, which caan lead to misleading traces
and warnings that interrupts have been enabled for overly-long periods.

This patch fixes these issues by using the new timing and context
entry/exit helpers to ensure that interrupts are handled during guest
vtime but with RCU watching, with a sequence:

	guest_timing_enter_irqoff();

	exit_to_guest_mode();
	< run the vcpu >
	enter_from_guest_mode();

	< take any pending IRQs >

	guest_timing_exit_irqoff();

Since instrumentation may make use of RCU, we must also ensure that no
instrumented code is run during the EQS. I've split out the critical
section into a new kvm_riscv_enter_exit_vcpu() helper which is marked
noinstr.

[PATCH 5/5] kvm/x86: rework guest entry logic

[Mark Rutland]

For consistency and clarity, migrate x86 over to the generic helpers for
guest timing and lockdep/RCU/tracing management, and remove the
x86-specific helpers.

Prior to this patch, the guest timing was entered in
kvm_guest_enter_irqoff() (called by svm_vcpu_enter_exit() and
svm_vcpu_enter_exit()), and was exited by the call to
vtime_account_guest_exit() within vcpu_enter_guest().

To minimize duplication and to more clearly balance entry and exit, both
entry and exit of guest timing are placed in vcpu_enter_guest(), using
the new guest_timing_{enter,exit}_irqoff() helpers. This may result in a
small amount of additional time being acounted towards guests.

Other than this, there should be no functional change as a result of
this patch.

This can be further qualified to state that it only affects time accounting when
using context tracking; tick-based accounting is unaffected because IRQs are
disabled the entire time.

And this might actually be a (benign?) bug fix for context tracking accounting in
the EXIT_FASTPATH_REENTER_GUEST case (commits ae95f566b3d2 "KVM: X86: TSCDEADLINE
MSR emulation fastpath" and 26efe2fd92e5, "KVM: VMX: Handle preemption timer
fastpath").  In those cases, KVM will enter the guest multiple times without
bouncing through vtime_account_guest_exit().  That means vtime_guest_enter() will
be called when the CPU is already "in guest", and call vtime_account_system()
when it really should call vtime_account_guest().  account_system_time() does
check PF_VCPU and redirect to account_guest_time(), so it appears to be benign,
but it's at least odd.

Ok. I'll replace that last sentence with:

  When context tracking is used a small amount of additional time will be
  accounted towards guests; tick-based accounting is unnaffected as IRQs are
  disabled at this point and not enabled until after the return from the guest.

I've added wording:

  This also corrects (benign) mis-balanced context tracking accounting
  introduced in commits:
  
    ae95f566b3d22ade ("KVM: X86: TSCDEADLINE MSR emulation fastpath")
    26efe2fd92e50822 ("KVM: VMX: Handle preemption timer fastpath")
  
  Where KVM can enter a guest multiple times, calling vtime_guest_enter()
  without a corresponding call to vtime_account_guest_exit(), and with
  vtime_account_system() called when vtime_account_guest() should be used.
  As account_system_time() checks PF_VCPU and calls account_guest_time(),
  this doesn't result in any functional problem, but is unnecessarily
  confusing.

... and deleted the "no functional change" line for now.

I assume that other than the naming of the entry/exit functions you're happy
with this patch?

Thanks,
Mark.

Moving to Atish and Anup's new email addresses, looks like MAINTAINERS 
hasn't been updated yet.  I thought I remembering seeing patches getting 
picked up for these, but LMK if you guys were expecting me to send them

I think 2 later patches have moved the guest_enter/exit a bit out.
Does this make the s390 code clearer?

Yes; that's much simpler to follow!

One major thing I wasn't sure about for s390 is the sequence:

	guest_enter_irqoff();	// Enters an RCU EQS
	...
	local_irq_enable();
	...
	sie64a(...);
	...
	local_irq_disable();
	...
	guest_exit_irqoff();	// Exits an RCU EQS

... since if an IRQ is taken between local_irq_{enable,disable}(), RCU won't be
watching, and I couldn't spot whether your regular IRQ entry logic would wake
RCU in this case, or whether there was something else I'm missing that saves
you here.

For other architectures, including x86 and arm64, we enter the guest with IRQs
masked and return from the guest with IRQs masked, and don't actually take IRQs
until we unmask them in the host, after the guest_exit_*() logic has woken RCU
and so on.

I wasn't able to find documentation on the semantics of SIE, so I couldn't spot
whether the local_irq_{enable,disable}() calls were necessary, or could be
removed.

Thanks,
Mark.

We run the SIE instruction with interrupts enabled. SIE is interruptible.
The disable/enable pairs are just because  guest_enter/exit_irqoff() require them.
One thing to be aware of: in our entry.S - after an interrupt - we leave SIE by
setting the return address of the interrupt after the sie instruction so that we
get back into this __vcpu_run loop to check for signals and so.

What I was trying to figure out was when an interrupt is taken between
guest_enter_irqoff() and guest_exit_irqoff(), where is RCU woken? I couldn't
spot that in the s390 entry code (probably simply because I'm not familiar with
it), and so AFAICT that means IRQ code could run without RCU watching, which
would cause things to explode.

On other architectures that problem is avoided because IRQs asserted during the
guest cause a specific guest exit rather than a regular IRQ exception, and the
HW enables/disables IRQs when entering/exiting the guest, so the host can leave
IRQs masked across guest_enter_irqoff()..guest_exit_irqoff().

Am I right in understanding that SIE itself won't enable (host) interrupts
while running the guest, and so it *needs* to be run with interrupts already
enabled?

Just to check, that's after the IRQ handler runs, right?

Thanks for confirming! 

IIUC as above, that means there's a latent RCU bug on s390, and to fix that
we'll need to add something to the IRQ entry logic to wake RCU for any IRQ
taken in the EQS between guest_enter_irqoff() and guest_exit_irqoff(), similar
to what is done for IRQs taken from an idle EQS.

I see s390 uses the common irqentry_{enter,exit}(), so perhaps we could extend
the logic there to check something in addition to is_idle_task()? e.g. add a
noinstr helper to check kvm_running_vcpu, Or add a thread flag that says we're
in this guest EQS.

I also think there is another issue here. When an IRQ is taken from SIE, will
user_mode(regs) always be false, or could it be true if the guest userspace is
running? If it can be true I think tha context tracking checks can complain,
and it *might* be possible to trigger a panic().

In irqentry_enter(), if user_mode(regs) == true, we call
irqentry_enter_from_user_mode -> __enter_from_user_mode(). There we check that
the context is CONTEXT_USER, but IIUC that will be CONTEXT_GUEST at this point.
We also call arch_check_user_regs(), and IIUC this might permit a malicious
guest to trigger a host panic by way of debug_user_asce(), but I may have
misunderstood and that might not be possible.

Thanks,
Mark.

I think that it would be false, because the guest PSW is in the SIE 
block and switched on SIE entry and exit, but I might be incorrect.

Ah; that's the crux of my confusion: I had thought the guest PSW would
be placed in the regular lowcore *_old_psw slots. From looking at the
entry asm it looks like the host PSW (around the invocation of SIE) is
stored there, since that's what the OUTSIDE + SIEEXIT handling is
checking for.

Assuming that's correct, I agree this problem doesn't exist, and there's
only the common RCU/tracing/lockdep management to fix.

Sorry for the noise, and thanks for the pointer!

Thanks,
Mark.

Will you provide an s390 patch in your next iteration or shall we then do
one as soon as there is a v2? We also need to look into vsie.c where we
also call sie64a

I'm having a go at that now; my plan is to try to have an s390 patch as
part of v2 in the next day or so.

Now that I have a rough idea of how SIE and exception handling works on
s390, I think the structural changes to kvm-s390.c:__vcpu_run() and
vsie.c:do_vsie_run() are fairly simple.

The only open bit is exactly how/where to identify when the interrupt
entry code needs to wake RCU. I can add a per-cpu variable or thread
flag to indicate that we're inside that EQS, or or I could move the irq
enable/disable into the sie64a asm and identify that as with the OUTSIDE
macro in the entry asm.

Thanks,
Mark.

What exactly would the low-level interrupt handler need to do?

Having looked around a bit, I think the best bet is to have
irqentry_enter() check PF_VCPU in addition to PF_IDLE (which it checks
via is_idle_task()), at which point nothing needs to change in the s390
entry code.

I'm currently implementing that, let me have a go, and then we can see
if that looks ok or whether we should do something else.

> CC Sven, Heiko for the entry.S changes.

I'll make sure you're all Cc'd when I send out vs with s390 patches.

I wonder whether the code in irqentry_enter() should call a function
is_eqs() instead of is_idle_task(). The default implementation would
be just a

#ifndef is_eqs
#define is_eqs is_idle_task
#endif

and if an architecture has special requirements, it could just define
is_eqs() and do the required checks there. This way the architecture
could define whether it's a percpu bit, a cpu flag or something else.

I had come to almost the same approach: I've added an arch_in_rcu_eqs()
which is checked in addition to the existing is_idle_thread() check.

In the case of checking is_idle_thread() and checking for PF_VCPU, I'm
assuming the compiler can merge the loads of current->flags, and there's
little gain by making this entirely architecture specific, but we can
always check that and/or reconsider in future.

Thanks,
Mark.

FWIW, I've pushed out my WIP to:

 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=kvm/entry-rework

... and I intend to clean that up and get it out on the list tomorrow.

The new entry/exit helpers are:

The arch_in_rcu_eqs() bit is:

I need to clean up the commit messages (including typos, TODOs, and
deleting some stale gunk), and there are some comments to write, but by
and large I think the structure is about right.
