The __kvmhv_copy_tofrom_guest_radix function was introduced along with
nested HV guest support. It uses the platform's Radix MMU quadrants to
provide a nested hypervisor with fast access to its nested guests
memory (H_COPY_TOFROM_GUEST hypercall). It has also since been added
as a fast path for the kvmppc_ld/st routines which are used during
instruction emulation.
The commit def0bfdbd603 ("powerpc: use probe_user_read() and
probe_user_write()") changed the low level copy function from
raw_copy_from_user to probe_user_read, which adds a check to
access_ok. In powerpc that is:
static inline bool __access_ok(unsigned long addr, unsigned long size)
{
return addr < TASK_SIZE_MAX && size <= TASK_SIZE_MAX - addr;
}
and TASK_SIZE_MAX is 0x0010000000000000UL for 64-bit, which means that
setting the two MSBs of the effective address (which correspond to the
quadrant) now cause access_ok to reject the access.
This was not caught earlier because the most common code path via
kvmppc_ld/st contains a fallback (kvm_read_guest) that is likely to
succeed for L1 guests. For nested guests there is no fallback.
Another issue is that probe_user_read (now __copy_from_user_nofault)
does not return the number of bytes not copied in case of failure, so
the destination memory is not being cleared anymore in
kvmhv_copy_from_guest_radix:
ret = kvmhv_copy_tofrom_guest_radix(vcpu, eaddr, to, NULL, n);
if (ret > 0) <-- always false!
memset(to + (n - ret), 0, ret);
This patch fixes both issues by skipping access_ok and open-coding the
low level __copy_to/from_user_inatomic.
Fixes: def0bfdbd603 ("powerpc: use probe_user_read() and probe_user_write()")
