Thomas Gleixner 933e1ab120 KVM: x86: SVM: Call x86_spec_ctrl_set_guest/host() with interrupts disabled
commit 024d83cadc6b2af027e473720f3c3da97496c318 upstream.

Mikhail reported the following lockdep splat:

WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
CPU 0/KVM/10284 just changed the state of lock:
  000000000d538a88 (&st->lock){+...}, at:
  speculative_store_bypass_update+0x10b/0x170

but this lock was taken by another, HARDIRQ-safe lock
in the past:

(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock){-.-.}

   and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

    CPU0                    CPU1
    ----                    ----
   lock(&st->lock);
                           local_irq_disable();
                           lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);
                           lock(&st->lock);
    <Interrupt>
     lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);
     *** DEADLOCK ***

The code path which connects those locks is:

   speculative_store_bypass_update()
   ssb_prctl_set()
   do_seccomp()
   do_syscall_64()

In svm_vcpu_run() speculative_store_bypass_update() is called with
interupts enabled via x86_virt_spec_ctrl_set_guest/host().

This is actually a false positive, because GIF=0 so interrupts are
disabled even if IF=1; however, we can easily move the invocations of
x86_virt_spec_ctrl_set_guest/host() into the interrupt disabled region to
cure it, and it's a good idea to keep the GIF=0/IF=1 area as small
and self-contained as possible.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
