register_address has been a duplicate of address_mask ever since the ancestor of __linearize was born in 90de84f5 (KVM: x86 emulator: preserve an operand's segment identity, 2010-11-17). However, we can put it to a better use by including the call to reg_read in register_address. Similarly, the call to reg_rmw can be moved to register_address_increment. Signed-off-by:

When SS is used using a non-canonical address, an #SS exception is generated on real hardware. KVM emulator causes a #GP instead. Fix it to behave as real x86 CPU. Signed-off-by:

If branch (e.g., jmp, ret) causes limit violations, since the target IP > limit, the #GP exception occurs before the branch. In other words, the RIP pushed on the stack should be that of the branch and not that of the target. To do so, we can call __linearize, with new EIP, which also saves us the code which performs the canonical address checks. On the case of assigning an EIP >= 2^32 (when switching cs.l), we also safe, as __linearize will check the new EIP does not exceed the limit and would trigger #GP(0) otherwise. Signed-off-by:

When segment is accessed, real hardware does not perform any privilege level checks. In contrast, KVM emulator does. This causes some discrepencies from real hardware. For instance, reading from readable code segment may fail due to incorrect segment checks. In addition, it introduces unnecassary overhead. To reference Intel SDM 5.5 ("Privilege Levels"): "Privilege levels are checked when the segment selector of a segment descriptor is loaded into a segment register." The SDM never mentions privilege level checks during memory access, except for loading far pointers in section 5.10 ("Pointer Validation"). Those are actually segment selector loads and are emulated in the similarily (i.e., regardless to __linearize checks). This behavior was also checked using sysexit. A data-segment whose DPL=0 was loaded, and after sysexit (CPL=3) it is still accessible. Therefore, all the privilege level checks in __linearize are removed. Signed-off-by: -

When performing segmented-read/write in the emulator for stack operations, it ignores the stack size, and uses the ad_bytes as indication for the pointer size. As a result, a wrong address may be accessed. To fix this behavior, we can remove the masking of address in __linearize and perform it beforehand. It is already done for the operands (so currently it is inefficiently done twice). It is missing in two cases: 1. When using rip_relative 2. On fetch_bit_operand that changes the address. This patch masks the address on these two occassions, and removes the masking from __linearize. Note that it does not mask EIP during fetch. In protected/legacy mode code fetch when RIP >= 2^32 should result in #GP and not wrap-around. Since we make limit checks within __linearize, this is the expected behavior. Partial revert of commit 518547b3 (KVM: x86: Emulator does not calculate address correctly, 2014-09-30). Signed-off-by:

Commit 10e38fc7cab6 ("KVM: x86: Emulator flag for instruction that only support 16-bit addresses in real mode") introduced NoBigReal for instructions such as MONITOR. Apparetnly, the Intel SDM description that led to this patch is misleading. Since no instruction is using NoBigReal, it is safe to remove it, we fully understand what the SDM means. Signed-off-by:

apic_find_highest_irr assumes irr_pending is set if any vector in APIC_IRR is set. If this assumption is broken and apicv is disabled, the injection of interrupts may be deferred until another interrupt is delivered to the guest. Ultimately, if no other interrupt should be injected to that vCPU, the pending interrupt may be lost. commit 56cc2406 ("KVM: nVMX: fix "acknowledge interrupt on exit" when APICv is in use") changed the behavior of apic_clear_irr so irr_pending is cleared after setting APIC_IRR vector. After this commit, if apic_set_irr and apic_clear_irr run simultaneously, a race may occur, resulting in APIC_IRR vector set, and irr_pending cleared. In the following example, assume a single vector is set in IRR prior to calling apic_clear_irr: apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr ------------ -------------- apic->irr_pending = true; apic_clear_vector(...); vec = apic_search_irr(apic); // => vec == -1 apic_set_vector(...); apic->irr_pending = (vec != -1); // => apic->irr_pending == false Nonetheless, it appears the race might even occur prior to this commit: apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr ------------ -------------- apic->irr_pending = true; apic->irr_pending = false; apic_clear_vector(...); if (apic_search_irr(apic) != -1) apic->irr_pending = true; // => apic->irr_pending == false apic_set_vector(...); Fixing this issue by: 1. Restoring the previous behavior of apic_clear_irr: clear irr_pending, call apic_clear_vector, and then if APIC_IRR is non-zero, set irr_pending. 2. On apic_set_irr: first call apic_set_vector, then set irr_pending. Signed-off-by:

Logical destination mode can be used to send NMI IPIs even when all APICs are software disabled, so if all APICs are software disabled we should still look at the DFRs. So the DFRs should all be the same, even if some or all APICs are software disabled. However, the SDM does not say this, so tweak the logic as follows: - if one APIC is enabled and has LDR != 0, use that one to build the map. This picks the right DFR in case an OS is only setting it for the software-enabled APICs, or in case an OS is using logical addressing on some APICs while leaving the rest in reset state (using LDR was suggested by Radim). - if all APICs are disabled, pick a random one to build the map. We use the last one with LDR != 0 for simplicity. Signed-off-by: -

Currently, the APIC logical map does not consider VCPUs whose local-apic is software-disabled. However, NMIs, INIT, etc. should still be delivered to such VCPUs. Therefore, the APIC mode should first be determined, and then the map, considering all VCPUs should be constructed. To address this issue, first find the APIC mode, and only then construct the logical map. Signed-off-by:

With the 3 private slots, this gives us 512 slots total. Motivation for this is in addition to assigned devices support more memory hotplug slots, where 1 slot is used by a hotplugged memory stick.

kvm updates the version number for the guest paravirt clock structure by incrementing the version of its private copy. It does not read the guest version, so will write version = 2 in the first update for every new VM, including after restoring a saved state. If guest state is saved during reading the clock, it could read and accept struct fields and guest TSC from two different updates. This changes the code to increment the guest version and write it back. Signed-off-by:

When the guest writes to the TSC, the masterclock TSC copy must be updated as well along with the TSC_OFFSET update, otherwise a negative tsc_timestamp is calculated at kvm_guest_time_update. Once "if (!vcpus_matched && ka->use_master_clock)" is simplified to "if (ka->use_master_clock)", the corresponding "if (!ka->use_master_clock)" becomes redundant, so remove the do_request boolean and collapse everything into a single condition.

Task-switch emulation checks the privilege level prior to performing the task-switch. This check is incorrect in the case of task-gates, in which the tss.dpl is ignored, and can cause superfluous exceptions. Moreover this check is unnecassary, since the CPU checks the privilege levels prior to exiting. Intel SDM 25.4.2 says "If CALL or JMP accesses a TSS descriptor directly outside IA-32e mode, privilege levels are checked on the TSS descriptor" prior to exiting. AMD 15.14.1 says "The intercept is checked before the task switch takes place but after the incoming TSS and task gate (if one was involved) have been checked for correctness." This patch removes the CPL checks for CALL and JMP. Signed-off-by:

According to Intel SDM push of segment selectors is done in the following manner: "if the operand size is 32-bits, either a zero-extended value is pushed on the stack or the segment selector is written on the stack using a 16-bit move. For the last case, all recent Core and Atom processors perform a 16-bit move, leaving the upper portion of the stack location unmodified." This patch modifies the behavior to match the core behavior.
