x86/mm: Don't drop a type ref unless you held a ref to begin with
Validation and de-validation of pagetable trees may take arbitrarily
large amounts of time, and so must be preemptible. This is indicated
by setting the PGT_partial bit in the type_info, and setting
nr_validated_entries and partial_flags appropriately. Specifically,
if the entry at [nr_validated_entries] is partially validated,
partial_flags should have the PGT_partial_set bit set, and the entry
should hold a general reference count. During de-validation,
put_page_type() is called on partially validated entries.
Unfortunately, there are a number of issues with the current algorithm.
First, doing a "normal" put_page_type() is not safe when no type ref
is held: there is nothing to stop another vcpu from coming along and
picking up validation again: at which point the put_page_type may drop
the only page ref on an in-use page. Some examples are listed in the
appendix.
The core issue is that put_page_type() is being called both to clean
up PGT_partial, and to drop a type count; and has no way of knowing
which is which; and so if in between, PGT_partial is cleared,
put_page_type() will drop the type ref erroneously.
What is needed is to distinguish between two states:
- Dropping a type ref which is held
- Cleaning up a page which has been partially de/validated
Fix this by telling put_page_type() which of the two activities you
intend.
When cleaning up a partial de/validation, take no action unless you
find a page partially validated.
If put_page_type() is called without PTF_partial_set, and finds the
page in a PGT_partial state anyway, then there's certainly been a
misaccounting somewhere, and carrying on would almost certainly cause
a security issue, so crash the host instead.
In put_page_from_lNe, pass partial_flags on to _put_page_type().
old_guest_table may be set either with a fully validated page (when
using the "deferred put" pattern), or with a partially validated page
(when a normal "de-validation" is interrupted, or when a validation
fails part-way through due to invalid entries). Add a flag,
old_guest_table_partial, to indicate which of these it is, and use
that to pass the appropriate flag to _put_page_type().
While here, delete stray trailing whitespace.
This is part of XSA-299.

Appendix:
Suppose page A, when interpreted as an l3 pagetable, contains all
valid entries; and suppose A[x] points to page B, which when
interpreted as an l2 pagetable, contains all valid entries.
P1: PIN_L3_TABLE
A -> PGT_l3_table | 1 | valid
B -> PGT_l2_table | 1 | valid
P1: UNPIN_TABLE
> Arrange to interrupt after B has been de-validated
B:
type_info -> PGT_l2_table | 0
A:
type_info -> PGT_l3_table | 1 | partial
nr_validated_enties -> (less than x)
P2: mod_l4_entry to point to A
> Arrange for this to be interrupted while B is being validated
B:
type_info -> PGT_l2_table | 1 | partial
(nr_validated_entires &c set as appropriate)
A:
type_info -> PGT_l3_table | 1 | partial
nr_validated_entries -> x
partial_pte = 1
P3: mod_l3_entry some other unrelated l3 to point to B:
B:
type_info -> PGT_l2_table | 1
P1: Restart UNPIN_TABLE
At this point, since A.nr_validate_entries == x and A.partial_pte !=
0, free_l3_table() will call put_page_from_l3e() on pl3e[x], dropping
its type count to 0 while it's still being pointed to by some other l3
A similar issue arises with old_guest_table. Consider the following
scenario:
Suppose A is a page which, when interpreted as an l2, has valid entries
until entry x, which is invalid.
V1: PIN_L2_TABLE(A)
<Validate until we try to validate [x], get -EINVAL>
A -> PGT_l2_table | 1 | PGT_partial
V1 -> old_guest_table = A
<delayed>
V2: PIN_L2_TABLE(A)
<Pick up where V1 left off, try to re-validate [x], get -EINVAL>
A -> PGT_l2_table | 1 | PGT_partial
V2 -> old_guest_table = A
<restart>
put_old_guest_table()
_put_page_type(A)
A -> PGT_l2_table | 0
V1: <restart>
put_old_guest_table()
_put_page_type(A) # UNDERFLOW
Indeed, it is possible to engineer for old_guest_table for every vcpu
a guest has to point to the same page.
