[ Upstream commit 17122c06b86c9f77f45b86b8e62c3ed440847a59 ] Treat any exception during instruction decode for EMULTYPE_SKIP as a "full" emulation failure, i.e. signal failure instead of queuing the exception. When decoding purely to skip an instruction, KVM and/or the CPU has already done some amount of emulation that cannot be unwound, e.g. on an EPT misconfig VM-Exit KVM has already processeed the emulated MMIO. KVM already does this if a #UD is encountered, but not for other exceptions, e.g. if a #PF is encountered during fetch. In SVM's soft-injection use case, queueing the exception is particularly problematic as queueing exceptions while injecting events can put KVM into an infinite loop due to bailing from VM-Enter to service the newly pending exception. E.g. multiple warnings to detect such behavior fire: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1017 at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:9873 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x1de5/0x20a0 [kvm] Modules linked in: kvm_amd ccp kvm irqbypass CPU: 3 PID: 1017 Comm: svm_nested_soft Not tainted 6.0.0-rc1+ #220 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 RIP: 0010:kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x1de5/0x20a0 [kvm] Call Trace: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x223/0x6d0 [kvm] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x85/0xc0 do_syscall_64+0x2b/0x50 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1017 at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:9987 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x12a3/0x20a0 [kvm] Modules linked in: kvm_amd ccp kvm irqbypass CPU: 3 PID: 1017 Comm: svm_nested_soft Tainted: G W 6.0.0-rc1+ #220 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 RIP: 0010:kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x12a3/0x20a0 [kvm] Call Trace: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x223/0x6d0 [kvm] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x85/0xc0 do_syscall_64+0x2b/0x50 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Fixes: 6ea6e84309ca ("KVM: x86: inject exceptions produced by x86_decode_insn") Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220930233632.1725475-1-seanjc@google.com Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
