[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/pv: Fix consistency of 64bit segment bases
The comments in save_segments(), _toggle_guest_pt() and write_cr() are false.
The %fs and %gs bases can be updated at any time by the guest.
As a consequence, Xen's fs_base/etc tracking state is always stale when the
vcpu is in context, and must not be used to complete MSR_{FS,GS}_BASE reads,
etc.
In particular, a sequence such as:
wrmsr(MSR_FS_BASE, 0x1ull << 32);
write_fs(__USER_DS);
base = rdmsr(MSR_FS_BASE);
will return the stale base, not the new base. This may cause guest a guest
kernel's context switching of userspace to malfunction.
Therefore:
* Update save_segments(), _toggle_guest_pt() and read_msr() to always read
the segment bases from hardware.
* Update write_cr(), write_msr() and do_set_segment_base() to not not waste
time caching data which is instantly going to become stale again.
* Provide comments to explaining when the tracking state is and isn't stale.
This bug has been present for 14 years, but several bugfixes since have built
on and extended the original flawed logic.
Fixes: ba9adb737ba ("Apply stricter checking to RDMSR/WRMSR emulations.")
Fixes: c42494acb2f ("x86: fix FS/GS base handling when using the fsgsbase
feature")
Fixed: eccc170053e ("x86/pv: Don't have %cr4.fsgsbase active behind a guest
kernels back")

v2:
* New, although the first two hunks pulled forwards from what is now patch 2.
The fact that this has gone unnoticed for so long shows how little 64bit
userspace software reloads %fs/%gs directly. Then again, its not very
surprising, as doing so would break Thread Local Storage.
