Subject: [PATCH 00/27] drm/i915/gvt: KVM: KVMGT fixes and page-track cleanups

Fix a variety of found-by-inspection bugs in KVMGT, and overhaul KVM's
page-track APIs to provide a leaner and cleaner interface. The motivation
for this series is to (significantly) reduce the number of KVM APIs that
KVMGT uses, with a long-term goal of making all kvm_host.h headers
KVM-internal. That said, I think the cleanup itself is worthwhile,
e.g. KVMGT really shouldn't be touching kvm->mmu_lock.

Note! The KVMGT changes are compile tested only as I don't have the
necessary hardware (AFAIK). Testing, and lots of it, on the KVMGT side
of things is needed and any help on that front would be much appreciated.

Sean Christopherson (24):
drm/i915/gvt: Verify pfn is "valid" before dereferencing "struct page"
KVM: x86/mmu: Factor out helper to get max mapping size of a memslot

Subject: [PATCH 23/27] KVM: x86/mmu: Bug the VM if write-tracking is used but not enabled

Bug the VM if something attempts to write-track a gfn, but write-tracking
isn't enabled. The VM is doomed (and KVM has an egregious bug) if KVM or
KVMGT wants to shadow guest page tables but can't because write-tracking
isn't enabled.

Subject: [PATCH 19/27] KVM: x86/mmu: Use page-track notifiers iff there are external users

Disable the page-track notifier code at compile time if there are no
external users, i.e. if CONFIG_KVM_EXTERNAL_WRITE_TRACKING=n. KVM itself
now hooks emulated writes directly instead of relying on the page-track
mechanism.

Subject: [PATCH 04/27] drm/i915/gvt: Verify VFIO-pinned page is THP when shadowing 2M gtt entry

When shadowing a GTT entry with a 2M page, explicitly verify that the
first page pinned by VFIO is a transparent hugepage instead of assuming
that page observed by is_2MB_gtt_possible() is the same page pinned by
vfio_pin_pages(). E.g. if userspace is doing something funky with the
guest's memslots, or if the page is demoted between is_2MB_gtt_possible()
and vfio_pin_pages().

This is more of a performance optimization than a bug fix as the check
for contiguous struct pages should guard against incorrect mapping (even
though assuming struct pages are virtually contiguous is wrong).

The real motivation for explicitly checking for a transparent hugepage
after pinning is that it will reduce the risk of introducing a bug in a
future fix for a page refcount leak (KVMGT doesn't put the reference
acquired by gfn_to_pfn()), and eventually will allow KVMGT to stop using
KVM's gfn_to_pfn() altogether.

Subject: [PATCH 18/27] KVM: x86/mmu: Move KVM-only page-track declarations to internal header

Bury the declaration of the page-track helpers that are intended only for
internal KVM use in a "private" header. In addition to guarding against
unwanted usage of the internal-only helpers, dropping their definitions
avoids exposing other structures that should be KVM-internal, e.g. for
memslots. This is a baby step toward making kvm_host.h a KVM-internal
header in the very distant future.

Subject: [PATCH 01/27] drm/i915/gvt: Verify pfn is "valid" before dereferencing "struct page"

Check that the pfn found by gfn_to_pfn() is actually backed by "struct
page" memory prior to retrieving and dereferencing the page. KVM
supports backing guest memory with VM_PFNMAP, VM_IO, etc., and so
there is no guarantee the pfn returned by gfn_to_pfn() has an associated
"struct page".

Subject: [PATCH 13/27] KVM: x86: Reject memslot MOVE operations if KVMGT is attached

Disallow moving memslots if the VM has external page-track users, i.e. if
KVMGT is being used to expose a virtual GPU to the guest, as KVM doesn't
correctly handle moving memory regions.

Note, this is potential ABI breakage! E.g. userspace could move regions
that aren't shadowed by KVMGT without harming the guest. However, the
only known user of KVMGT is QEMU, and QEMU doesn't move generic memory
regions. KVM's own support for moving memory regions was also broken for
multiple years (albeit for an edge case, but arguably moving RAM is
itself an edge case), e.g. see commit edd4fa37baa6 ("KVM: x86: Allocate
new rmap and large page tracking when moving memslot").

Subject: [PATCH 03/27] drm/i915/gvt: Incorporate KVM memslot info into check for 2MiB GTT entry

Honor KVM's max allowed page size when determining whether or not a 2MiB
GTT shadow page can be created for the guest. Querying KVM's max allowed
size is somewhat odd as there's no strict requirement that KVM's memslots
and VFIO's mappings are configured with the same gfn=>hva mapping, but
the check will be accurate if userspace wants to have a functional guest,
and at the very least checking KVM's memslots guarantees that the entire
2MiB range has been exposed to the guest.

Note, KVM may also restrict the mapping size for reasons that aren't
relevant to KVMGT, e.g. for KVM's iTLB multi-hit workaround or if the gfn
is write-tracked (KVM's write-tracking only handles writes from vCPUs).
However, such scenarios are unlikely to occur with a well-behaved guest,
and at worst will result in sub-optimal performance.

Subject: [PATCH 14/27] drm/i915/gvt: Don't bother removing write-protection on to-be-deleted slot

When handling a slot "flush", don't call back into KVM to drop write
protection for gfns in the slot. Now that KVM rejects attempts to move
memory slots while KVMGT is attached, the only time a slot is "flushed"
is when it's being removed, i.e. the memslot and all its write-tracking
metadata is about to be deleted.

Subject: [PATCH 10/27] KVM: x86/mmu: Don't rely on page-track mechanism to flush on memslot change

Call kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() directly when flushing a memslot instead of
bounding through the page-track mechanism. KVM (unfortunately) needs to
zap and flush all page tables on memslot DELETE/MOVE irrespective of
whether KVM is shadowing guest page tables.

This will allow changing KVM to register a page-track notifier on the
first shadow root allocation, and will also allow deleting the misguided
kvm_page_track_flush_slot() hook itself once KVM-GT also moves to a
different method for reacting to memslot changes.

No functional change intended.

hi Sean,
Thanks for the patch!
Could you also provide the commit id that this series is based on?
I applied them on top of latest master branch (6.1.0+,
8395ae05cb5a2e31d36106e8c85efa11cda849be) in repo
https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git, yet met some conflicts and I
fixed them manually. (patch 11 and patch 25).

A rough test shows that below mutex_init is missing.
But even with this fix, I still met guest hang during guest boots up.
Will look into it and have a detailed review next week.

Without vIOMMU, VFIO's mapping is configured with the same as KVM's
memslots, i.e. with the same gfn==>HVA mapping

I think just check the entrie 2MiB GFN range are all within KVM memslot is
enough.
If for some reason, KVM maps a 2MiB range in 4K sizes, KVMGT can still map
it in IOMMU size in 2MiB size as long as the PFNs are continous and the
whole range is all exposed to guest.
Actually normal device passthrough with VFIO-PCI also maps GFNs in a
similar way, i.e. maps a guest visible range in as large size as
possible as long as the PFN is continous.

AFAIK, IOMMU mappings currently never sets exec bit (and I'm told this bit is
under discussion to be removed).

Why not convert "vcpu" to "kvm" in __kvm_page_track_write() ?
i.e.
void __kvm_page_track_write(struct kvm *kvm, gpa_t gpa, const u8 *new, int bytes);

Strictly speaking, no. E.g. if a 2MiB region is covered with multiple memslots
and the memslots have different properties.

I agree that practically speaking this will hold true, but if KVMGT wants to honor
KVM's memslots then checking that KVM allows a hugepage is correct. Hrm, but on
the flip side, KVMGT ignores read-only memslot flags, so KVMGT is already ignoring
pieces of KVM's memslots.

I have no objection to KVMGT defining its ABI such that KVMGT is allowed to create
2MiB so long as (a) the GFN is contiguous according to VFIO, and (b) that the entire
2MiB range is exposed to the guest.

That said, being fully permissive also seems wasteful, e.g. KVM would need to
explicitly support straddling multiple memslots.

As a middle ground, what about tweaking kvm_page_track_is_valid_gfn() to take a
range, and then checking that the range is contained in a single memslot?

E.g. something like:

bool kvm_page_track_is_contiguous_gfn_range(struct kvm *kvm, gfn_t gfn,
unsigned long nr_pages)
{
struct kvm_memory_slot *memslot;
bool ret;
int idx;

idx = srcu_read_lock(&kvm->srcu);
memslot = gfn_to_memslot(kvm, gfn);
ret = kvm_is_visible_memslot(memslot) &&
gfn + nr_pages <= memslot->base_gfn + memslot->npages;
srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu, idx);

return ret;
}

I highly doubt it, I can't imagine an IOMMU would have a dedicated instruction

Huh, I'm surprised this didn't throw a warning. I'm pretty sure I screwed up a
refactoring, I originally had the "return 0" in an #else branch.

No reason, I just overlooked the opportunistic cleanup. I'll do this in the next

The commit ID is provided in the cover letter:

base-commit: 9d75a3251adfbcf444681474511b58042a364863

Though you might have a hard time finding that commit as it's from an old
version of kvm/queue that's probably since been force pushed.

Thanks again for the reviews and testing! I'll get a v2 out in the next week or
so (catching up from holidays) and will be more explicit in documenting the base
version.

Yes, controlled by QEMU.
VFIO in kernel has no idea of whether vIOMMU is enabled or not.
KVMGT currently is known not working with vIOMMU with shadow mode on
(in this mode, VFIO maps gIOVA ==> HVA ==> HPA) .

KVMGT calls dma_map_page() with DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL after checking gvt_pin_guest_page().
Though for a read-only memslot, DMA_TO_DEVICE should be used instead
(see dma_info_to_prot()),
as gvt_pin_guest_page() checks (IOMMU_READ | IOMMU_WRITE) permission for each page,
it actually ensures that the pinned GFN is not in a read-only memslot.
So, it should be fine.

sorry. I may not put it clearly enough.
for a normal device pass-through via VFIO-PCI, VFIO maps IOMMU mappings in this way:

(a) fault in PFNs in a GFN range within the same memslot (VFIO saves dma_list, which is
the same as memslot list when vIOMMU is not on or not in shadow mode).
(b) map continuous PFNs into iommu driver (honour ro attribute and can > 2MiB as long as
PFNs are continuous).
(c) IOMMU driver decides to map in 2MiB or in 4KiB according to its setting.

For KVMGT, gvt_dma_map_page() first calls gvt_pin_guest_page() which
(a) calls vfio_pin_pages() to check each GFN is within allowed dma_list with
(IOMMU_READ | IOMMU_WRITE) permission and fault-in page.
(b) checks PFNs are continuous in 2MiB,

Though checking kvm_page_track_max_mapping_level() is also fine, it makes DMA
mapping size unnecessarily smaller.

Yes, it's good.
But as explained above, gvt_dma_map_page() checks in an equivalent way.
Maybe checking kvm_page_track_is_contiguous_gfn_range() is also not
required?

I can double check it with IOMMU hardware experts.
But if DMA would tamper instruction TLB, it should have been reported
as an issue with normal VFIO pass-through?

Yeah, I got all that. What I'm trying to say, and why I asked about whether or
not userspace controls the mappings, is that AFAIK there is nothing in the kernel
that coordinates mappings between VFIO and KVM. So, very technically, userspace
could map a 2MiB range contiguous in VFIO but not in KVM, or RW in VFIO but RO in KVM.

I can't imagine there's a real use case for doing so, and arguably there's no
requirement that KVMGT honor KVM's memslot. But because KVMGT taps into KVM's
page-tracking, KVMGT _does_ honor KVM's memslots to some extent because KVMGT
needs to know whether or not a given GFN can be write-protected.

I'm totally fine if KVMGT's ABI is that VFIO is the source of truth for mappings
and permissions, and that the only requirement for KVM memslots is that GTT page
tables need to be visible in KVM's memslots. But if that's the ABI, then
intel_gvt_is_valid_gfn() should be probing VFIO, not KVM (commit cc753fbe1ac4
("drm/i915/gvt: validate gfn before set shadow page entry").

In other words, pick either VFIO or KVM. Checking that X is valid according to
KVM and then mapping X through VFIO is confusing and makes assumptions about how
userspace configures KVM and VFIO. It works because QEMU always configures KVM
and VFIO as expected, but IMO it's unnecessarily fragile and again confusing for
unaware readers because the code is technically flawed.

On a related topic, ppgtt_populate_shadow_entry() should check the validity of the
gfn. If I'm reading the code correctly, checking only in ppgtt_populate_spt() fails
to handle the case where the guest creates a bogus mapping when writing an existing
GTT PT.

Combing all my trains of thought, what about this as an end state for this series?
(completely untested at this point). Get rid of the KVM mapping size checks,
verify the validity of the entire range being mapped, and add a FIXME to complain
about using KVM instead of VFIO to determine the validity of ranges.

Agreed.
Then after some further thought, I think maybe we can just remove
intel_gvt_is_valid_gfn() in KVMGT, because

(1) both intel_gvt_is_valid_gfn() in emulate_ggtt_mmio_write() and
ppgtt_populate_spt() are not for page track purpose, but to validate bogus
GFN.
(2) gvt_pin_guest_page() with gfn and size can do the validity checking,
which is called in intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page(). So, we can move the
mapping of scratch page to the error path after intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page().

As KVMGT only tracks PPGTT page table pages, this check here is not for page
track purpose, but to check bogus GFN.
So, Just leave the bogus GFN check to intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page() through
VFIO is all right.

On the other hand, for the GFN validity for page track purpose, we can
leave it to kvm_write_track_add_gfn().

Do you think it's ok?

IIUC, that will re-introduce the problem commit cc753fbe1ac4 ("drm/i915/gvt: validate
gfn before set shadow page entry") solved by poking into KVM. Lack of pre-validation
means that bogus GFNs will trigger error messages, e.g.

gvt_vgpu_err("vfio_pin_pages failed for iova %pad, ret %d\n",
&cur_iova, ret);

and

gvt_vgpu_err("fail to populate guest ggtt entry\n");

One thought would be to turn those printks into tracepoints to eliminate unwanted
noise, and to prevent the guest from spamming the host kernel log by programming
garbage into the GTT (gvt_vgpu_err() isn't ratelimited).

AFAICT, KVMGT only pre-validates the GFN on the initial setup, not when the guest
modifies a write-tracked entry. I believe this is a moot point if the pre-validation
is removed entirely.

Yep, the only hiccup is the gvt_vgpu_err() calls that are guest-triggerable, and
converting those to a tracepoint seems like the right answer.

Thanks for pointing it out.
I checked this commit message and found below original intentions to introduce
pre-validation:
"GVT may receive partial write on one guest PTE update. Validate gfn
not to translate incomplete gfn. This avoids some unnecessary error
messages incurred by the incomplete gfn translating. Also fix the
bug that the whole PPGTT shadow page update is aborted on any invalid
gfn entry"

(1) first intention -- unnecessary error message came from GGTT partial write.
For guest GGTT writes, the guest calls writeq to an MMIO GPA, which is
8 bytes in length, while QEMU splits the MMIO write into 2 4-byte writes.
The splitted 2 writes can cause invalid GFN to be found.

But this partial write issue has been fixed by the two follow-up commits:
bc0686ff5fad drm/i915/gvt: support inconsecutive partial gtt entry write
510fe10b6180 drm/i915/gvt: fix a bug of partially write ggtt enties

so pre-validation to reduce noise is not necessary any more here.

(2) the second intention -- "the whole PPGTT shadow page update is aborted on any
invalid gfn entry"
As PPGTT resides in normal guest RAM and we only treat 8-byte writes
as valid page table writes, any invalid GPA found is regarded as
an error, either due to guest misbehavior/attack or bug in host
shadow code.
So, direct abort looks good too. Like below:

@@ -1340,13 +1338,6 @@ static int ppgtt_populate_spt(struct intel_vgpu_ppgtt_spt *spt)
ppgtt_generate_shadow_entry(&se, s, &ge);
ppgtt_set_shadow_entry(spt, &se, i);
} else {
- gfn = ops->get_pfn(&ge);
- if (!intel_gvt_is_valid_gfn(vgpu, gfn)) {
- ops->set_pfn(&se, gvt->gtt.scratch_mfn);
- ppgtt_set_shadow_entry(spt, &se, i);
- continue;
- }
-
ret = ppgtt_populate_shadow_entry(vgpu, spt, i, &ge);
if (ret)
goto fail;

(I actually found that the original code will print "invalid entry type"
warning which indicates it's broken for a while due to lack of test in
this invalid gfn path)

As those printks would not happen in normal conditions and printks may have
some advantages to discover the attack or bug, could we just convert
gvt_vgpu_err() to be ratelimited ?

That's ultimately a decision that needs to be made by the GVT maintainers, as the
answer depends on the use case. E.g. if most users of KVMGT run a single VM and
the guest user is also the host admin, then pr_err_ratelimited() is likely an
acceptable/preferable choice as there's a decent chance a human will see the errors
in the host kernel logs and be able to take action.

But if there's unlikely to be a human monitoring the host logs, and/or the guest
user is unrelated to the host admin, then a ratelimited printk() is less useful.
E.g. if there's no one monitoring the logs, then losing messages due to
ratelimiting provides a worse debug experience overall than having to manually
enable tracepoints. And if there may be many tens of VMs (seems unlikely?), then
ratelimited printk() is even less useful because errors for a specific VM may be
lost, i.e. the printk() can't be relied upon in any way to detect issues.

FWIW, in KVM proper, use of printk() to capture guest "errors" is strongly discourage
for exactly these reasons.

hi Sean,
This is the feedback:

- CPU Instruction TLB is only filled when CPU fetches an instruction.
- IOMMU uses IOTLB to cache IOVA translation.
A remapping hardware may implement multiple IOTLBs, and some of these may
be for special purposes, e.g., only for instruction fetches.
There is no way for software to be aware that multiple
translations for smaller pages have been used for a large page. If software
modifies the paging structures so that the page size used for a 4-KByte range
of input-addresses changes, the IOTLBs may subsequently contain multiple
translations for the address range (one for each page size).
A reference to a input-address in the address range may use any of these
translations. Which translation is used may vary from one execution to
another, and the choice may be implementation-specific.
- Theres no similar bug related to DMA requests for instruction fetch hitting
multiple IOTLB entries reported in IOMMU side.
The X bit in IOMMU paging structure is to be removed in future and is
currently always unset.

Thanks
Yan

Current KVMGT usage is mostly in controlled mode, either user is own host admin,
or host admin would pre-configure specific limited number of VMs for KVMGT use.
I think printk on error should be fine, we don't need rate limit, and adding
extra trace monitor for admin might not be necessary. So I'm towards to keep to
use current error message.

thanks

Currently intel_gvt_is_valid_gfn() is called in two places:
(1) shadowing guest GGTT entry
(2) shadowing guest PPGTT leaf entry,
which was introduced in commit cc753fbe1ac4
("drm/i915/gvt: validate gfn before set shadow page entry").

However, now it's not necessary to call this interface any more, because
a. GGTT partial write issue has been fixed by
commit bc0686ff5fad
("drm/i915/gvt: support inconsecutive partial gtt entry write")
commit 510fe10b6180
("drm/i915/gvt: fix a bug of partially write ggtt enties")
b. PPGTT resides in normal guest RAM and we only treat 8-byte writes
as valid page table writes. Any invalid GPA found is regarded as
an error, either due to guest misbehavior/attack or bug in host
shadow code.
So,rather than do GFN pre-checking and replace invalid GFNs with
scratch GFN and continue silently, just remove the pre-checking and
abort PPGTT shadowing on error detected.
c. GFN validity check is still performed in
intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page() --> gvt_pin_guest_page().
It's more desirable to call VFIO interface to do both validity check
and mapping.
Calling intel_gvt_is_valid_gfn() to do GFN validity check from KVM side
while later mapping the GFN through VFIO interface is unnecessarily
fragile and confusing for unaware readers.

I'd like to include it in this series as it's necessary (for some definitions of
necessary) to clean up KVM's APIs, and the main benefactor is KVM, i.e. getting
the patch merged sooner than later doesn't really benefit KVMGT itself.

Thanks much!

The kvm_mmu_track_write() is only used for x86, where the incoming parameter
"u8 *new" has not been required since 0e0fee5c539b ("kvm: mmu: Fix race in
emulated page table writes"), please help confirm if it's still needed ? Thanks.
A minor clean up is proposed.

Hmm, unless I'm misreading things, KVMGT ultimately doesn't consume @new either.
So I think we can remove @new from kvm_page_track_write() entirely.

Feel free to send a patch, otherwise I'll get to it later this week.

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, KVMGT does not consume @new and it reads the guest PTE again in the
page track write handler.

But I have a couple of questions related to the memtioned commit as
below:

(1) If "re-reading the current value of the guest PTE after the MMU lock has
been acquired", then should KVMGT also acquire the MMU lock too?
If so, could we move the MMU lock and unlock into kvm_page_track_write()
as it's common.

(2) Even if KVMGT consumes @new,
will kvm_page_track_write() be called for once or twice if there are two
concurent emulated write?


commit 0e0fee5c539b61fdd098332e0e2cc375d9073706
Author: Junaid Shahid <[email protected]>
Date: Wed Oct 31 14:53:57 2018 -0700

kvm: mmu: Fix race in emulated page table writes

When a guest page table is updated via an emulated write,
kvm_mmu_pte_write() is called to update the shadow PTE using the just
written guest PTE value. But if two emulated guest PTE writes happened
concurrently, it is possible that the guest PTE and the shadow PTE end
up being out of sync. Emulated writes do not mark the shadow page as
unsync-ed, so this inconsistency will not be resolved even by a guest TLB
flush (unless the page was marked as unsync-ed at some other point).

This is fixed by re-reading the current value of the guest PTE after the
MMU lock has been acquired instead of just using the value that was
written prior to calling kvm_mmu_pte_write().

No. If applicable, KVMGT should read the new/current value after acquiring
whatever lock protects the generation (or update) of the shadow entries. I
suspect KVMGT already does this, but I don't have time to confirm that at this
exact memory.

The race that was fixed in KVM was:

vCPU0 vCPU1
write X
write Y
sync SPTE w/ Y
sync SPTE w/ X

Reading the value after acquiring mmu_lock ensures that both vCPUs will see whatever
value "loses" the race, i.e. whatever written value is processed second ('Y' in the
above sequence).

Twice, kvm_page_track_write() is wired up directly to the emulation of the write,
i.e. there is no batching.

I think the mutex lock and unlock of info->vgpu_lock you added in
kvmgt_page_track_write() is the counterpart :)

I suspect that vCPU0 may still generate a wrong SPTE if vCPU1 wrote 4
bytes while vCPU0 wrote 8 bytes, though the chances are very low.

This could happen in below sequence:
vCPU0 updates a PTE to AABBCCDD;
vCPU1 updates a PTE to EEFFGGHH in two writes.
(each character stands for a byte)

vCPU0 vCPU1
write AABBCCDD
write GGHH
detect 4 bytes write and hold on sync
sync SPTE w/ AABBGGHH
write EEFF
sync SPTE w/ EEFFGGHH


Do you think it worth below serialization work?

No, because I don't see any KVM bugs with the above sequence. If the guest doesn't
ensure *all* writes from vCPU0 and vCPU1 are fully serialized, then it is completely
legal for hardware (KVM in this case) to consume AABBGGHH as a PTE. The only thing
the guest shouldn't see is EEFFCCDD, but I don't see how that can happen.

Ok, though still feel it's a little odd when a 1st cmpxch instruction on a GPA is still
under emulation, a 2nd or 3rd... cmpxch instruction to the same GPA may have returned
and they all succeeded :)
