Subject: [PATCH 06/43] KVM: x86: Properly reset MMU context at vCPU RESET/INIT
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2021 17:46:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210424004645.3950558-7-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210424004645.3950558-1-seanjc@google.com>

Post-process the CR0 and CR4 changes at vCPU INIT (and RESET for good
measure) to effect a MMU context reset when necessary.  Simply
re-initializing the current MMU is not sufficient as the current root
HPA may not be usable in the new context.  E.g. if TDP is disabled and
INIT arrives while the vCPU is in long mode, KVM will fail to switch to
the 32-bit pae_root and bomb on the next VM-Enter due to running with a
64-bit CR3 in 32-bit mode.

This bug was papered over in both VMX and SVM.

In VMX, the INIT issue is specific to running without unrestricted guest
since unrestricted guest is available if and only if EPT is enabled.
Commit 8668a3c468ed ("KVM: VMX: Reset mmu context when entering real
mode") resolved the issue by forcing a reset when entering emulated real
mode.

In SVM, commit ebae871a509d ("kvm: svm: reset mmu on VCPU reset") forced
a MMU reset on every INIT to workaround the flaw in common x86.  Note, at
the time the bug was fixed, the SVM problem was exacerbated by a complete
lack of a CR4 update.

The VMX and SVM fixes are not technically wrong, but lack of precision
makes it difficult to reason about why a context reset is needed.  The VMX
code in particular is nasty. The vendor resets will be reverted in future
patches, primarily to aid bisection in case there are non-INIT flows that
rely on the existing VMX logic.
