commit ddec00769cd80a44b412281d8b52482e4e20c2e5 Author: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Thu May 15 20:09:35 2025 +0100 Commit: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Fri May 16 21:34:19 2025 +0100 x86/emul: Fix emulation of RDSEED with older toolchains This is reported as a MISRA R16.3 (missing break) violation, but turns out to be substantially more complicated than expected. In commit a8fe4ec5320a ("x86emul: support RDRAND/RDSEED"), the switch() statement had a default case going to cannot_emulate, with both the case 6 and case 7 labels being fully within #ifdef HAVE_GAS_RD{RAND,SEED}. Therefore, when the toolchain didn't understand the RDRAND/RDSEED instructions, attempts to emulate them suffered #UD. (In principle, this is a problem as there's no interlock to prevent RDRAND/RDSEED being advertised to the guest, but as instructions with only register encodings, they can only legitimately be emulated when VM Introspection is in use.) In commit 58f1bba44033 ("x86emul: support RDPID"), case 7 was taken outside of HAVE_GAS_RDSEED, meaning that emulating an RDSEED instruction no longer hit the default case when the toolchain was too old. Instead, it would fall out of the switch statement and be completed normally, behaving as a NOP to the guest. Retrofit a "return X86EMUL_UNIMPLEMENTED" in the case that the toolchain doesn't know the RDRAND instruction, matching how RDRAND work. Note that this has been fixed differently in Xen 4.21. Commit 05bf9f1f0f52 ("x86/emulate: Remove HAVE_AS_RDRAND and HAVE_AS_RDSEED") has removed the problematic condition due to the toolchain baseline upgrade.
