Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix SVM hang at startup

This series is fixing a SVM hang occurring when starting a SVM requiring
more secure memory than available. The hang happens in the SVM when calling
UV_ESM.

The following is happening:

1. SVM calls UV_ESM
2. Ultravisor (UV) calls H_SVM_INIT_START
3. Hypervisor (HV) calls UV_REGISTER_MEM_SLOT
4. UV returns error because there is not enough free secure memory
5. HV enter the error path in kvmppc_h_svm_init_start()
6. In the return path, since kvm->arch.secure_guest is not yet set hrfid is
called
7. As the HV doesn't know the SVM calling context hrfid is jumping to
unknown address in the SVM leading to various expections.

This series fixes the setting of kvm->arch.secure_guest in
kvmppc_h_svm_init_start() to ensure that UV_RETURN is called on the return
path to get back to the UV.

In addition to ensure that a malicious VM will not call UV reserved Hcall,
a check of the Secure bit in the calling MSR is addded to reject such a
call.

It is assumed that the UV will filtered out such Hcalls made by a malicious
SVM.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: H_SVM_INIT_START must call UV_RETURN

When the call to UV_REGISTER_MEM_SLOT is failing, for instance because
there is not enough free secured memory, the Hypervisor (HV) has to call
UV_RETURN to report the error to the Ultravisor (UV). Then the UV will call
H_SVM_INIT_ABORT to abort the securing phase and go back to the calling VM.

If the kvm->arch.secure_guest is not set, in the return path rfid is called
but there is no valid context to get back to the SVM since the Hcall has
been routed by the Ultravisor.

Move the setting of kvm->arch.secure_guest earlier in
kvmppc_h_svm_init_start() so in the return path, UV_RETURN will be called
instead of rfid.

There is an assumption that memory slots would have been registered with UV
if KVMPPC_SECURE_INIT_START has been done. KVM_PPC_SVM_OFF ioctl will skip
unregistration and other steps during reboot if KVMPPC_SECURE_INIT_START
hasn't been done.

Have you checked if that path isn't affected by this change?

Regards,
Bharata.

I checked that and didn't find any issue there.

My only concern was that block:
kvm_for_each_vcpu(i, vcpu, kvm) {
spin_lock(&vcpu->arch.vpa_update_lock);
unpin_vpa_reset(kvm, &vcpu->arch.dtl);
unpin_vpa_reset(kvm, &vcpu->arch.slb_shadow);
unpin_vpa_reset(kvm, &vcpu->arch.vpa);
spin_unlock(&vcpu->arch.vpa_update_lock);
}

But that seems to be safe.

However I'm not a familiar with the KVM's code, do you think an additional
KVMPPC_SECURE_INIT_* value needed here?

Thanks,
Laurent.

Yes, looks like.

May be not as long as UV can handle the unexpected uv_unregister_mem_slot()
calls, we are good.

I tested this along with the code that rejects the secure transition
when it is not enabled in KVM.

I have also forced a KVM_PPC_SVM_OFF (via system_reset) right after
setting kvm->arch.secure_guest and nothing bad happened.
