PV guests can't have architectural FRED anyway (although I'd really like to do paravirt FRED to simplify Linux as x86 PV is already ~80% there). We already handle SWAPGS automatically on kernel/user transitions, and have a dedicated hypercall for setting GSKERN, so I don't see any need to provide LKGS even in a future where there's some kind of paravirt-FRED. > --- a/tools/tests/x86_emulator/test_x86_emulator.c > +++ b/tools/tests/x86_emulator/test_x86_emulator.c > @@ -693,6 +719,20 @@ static int read_msr( > *val = ctxt->addr_size > 32 ? 0x500 /* LME|LMA */ : 0; > return X86EMUL_OKAY; > > +#ifdef __x86_64__ > + case 0xc0000101: /* GS_BASE */ It's only just occurred to me, but given x86-defns.h, isn't msr-index.h suitably usable too ? > @@ -1335,6 +1400,41 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) > printf("%u bytes read - ", bytes_read); > goto fail; > } > + printf("okay\n"); > + > + emulops.write_segment = write_segment; > + emulops.write_msr = write_msr; > + > + printf("%-40s", "Testing swapgs..."); > + instr[0] = 0x0f; instr[1] = 0x01; instr[2] = 0xf8; > + regs.eip = (unsigned long)&instr[0]; > + gs_base = 0xffffeeeecccc8888UL; > + gs_base_shadow = 0x0000111122224444UL; > + rc = x86_emulate(&ctxt, &emulops); > + if ( (rc != X86EMUL_OKAY) || > + (regs.eip != (unsigned long)&instr[3]) || > + (gs_base != 0x0000111122224444UL) || > + (gs_base_shadow != 0xffffeeeecccc8888UL) ) > + goto fail; > + printf("okay\n"); > + > + printf("%-40s", "Testing lkgs 2(%rdx)..."); > + instr[0] = 0xf2; instr[1] = 0x0f; instr[2] = 0x00; instr[3] = 0x72; > instr[4] = 0x02; > + regs.eip = (unsigned long)&instr[0]; > + regs.edx = (unsigned long)res; > + res[0] = 0x00004444; > + res[1] = 0x8888cccc; > + i = cp.extd.nscb; cp.extd.nscb = true; /* for AMD */ > + rc = x86_emulate(&ctxt, &emulops); > + if ( (rc != X86EMUL_OKAY) || > + (regs.eip != (unsigned long)&instr[5]) || > + (gs_base != 0x0000111122224444UL) || > + gs_base_shadow ) > + goto fail; > + > + cp.extd.nscb = i; I think I acked the patches to rename this?

Do we really need this complexity? JMPE is a decoding wrinkle of Itanium processors, which I think we can reasonably ignore. IMO we should treat Grp6 as uniformly Reg/Mem16, and rely on the !mode_64bit() to exclude the encodings commonly used as JMPE. ... not that I see any evidence that an Itanium processor wouldn't decode LKGS as REP JMPE. It is curious that Intel picked this encoding space for LKGS which, like JMPE, is a CPL0-only instruction. I assume it usefully shares a group-decode row/column, but I've not had enough coffee for higher-dimentional decode reasoning. > --- a/xen/arch/x86/x86_emulate/x86_emulate.c > +++ b/xen/arch/x86/x86_emulate/x86_emulate.c > @@ -2870,8 +2870,35 @@ x86_emulate( > break; > } > break; > - default: > - generate_exception_if(true, X86_EXC_UD); > + case 6: /* lkgs */ > + generate_exception_if((modrm_reg & 1) || vex.pfx != vex_f2, > + X86_EXC_UD); > + generate_exception_if(!mode_64bit() || !mode_ring0(), > X86_EXC_UD); > + vcpu_must_have(lkgs); > + fail_if(!ops->read_segment || !ops->read_msr || > + !ops->write_segment || !ops->write_msr); > + if ( (rc = ops->read_msr(MSR_SHADOW_GS_BASE, &msr_val, > + ctxt)) != X86EMUL_OKAY || > + (rc = ops->read_segment(x86_seg_gs, &sreg, > + ctxt)) != X86EMUL_OKAY ) > + goto done; > + dst.orig_val = sreg.base; /* Preserve full GS Base. */ > + if ( (rc = protmode_load_seg(x86_seg_gs, src.val, false, &sreg, > + ctxt, ops)) != X86EMUL_OKAY || > + /* Write (32-bit) base into SHADOW_GS. */ > + (rc = ops->write_msr(MSR_SHADOW_GS_BASE, sreg.base, The comment says 32-bit, but that's the full base, isn't it? > + ctxt)) != X86EMUL_OKAY ) > + goto done; > + sreg.base = dst.orig_val; /* Reinstate full GS Base. */ > + if ( (rc = ops->write_segment(x86_seg_gs, &sreg, > + ctxt)) != X86EMUL_OKAY ) > + { > + /* Best effort unwind (i.e. no real error checking). */ > + if ( ops->write_msr(MSR_SHADOW_GS_BASE, msr_val, > + ctxt) == X86EMUL_EXCEPTION ) > + x86_emul_reset_event(ctxt); > + goto done; > + } Do we need all of this? Either protmode_load_seg() fails and there's nothing to unwind, or write_msr() fails and we only have to unwind GS. I think? This is actually a good example of where pipeline microcode has a much easier time than we do. Inside the pipeline, there's no such thing as "can't store to gs & GS_KERN once the checks are done". Although it does make me wonder. Would LKGS trigger the MSR intercepts? Architecturally, it writes MSR_GS_KERN, so ought to trigger the Write intercept. However, version 7 of the FRED spec says: "Because the base address in the descriptor is only 32 bits, LKGS clears the upper 32 bits of the 64-bit IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR." so I suspect it does not architecturally read MSR_GS_KERN, so would not trigger the Read intercept (or introspection for that matter.) AFAICT, we're only performing the read in order to do the best-effort unwind, so I think that path needs dropping. > break; > } > break; > --- a/xen/include/public/arch-x86/cpufeatureset.h > +++ b/xen/include/public/arch-x86/cpufeatureset.h > @@ -296,6 +296,8 @@ XEN_CPUFEATURE(AVX512_BF16, 10*32+ 5) / > XEN_CPUFEATURE(FZRM, 10*32+10) /*A Fast Zero-length REP MOVSB */ > XEN_CPUFEATURE(FSRS, 10*32+11) /*A Fast Short REP STOSB */ > XEN_CPUFEATURE(FSRCS, 10*32+12) /*A Fast Short REP CMPSB/SCASB */ > +XEN_CPUFEATURE(FRED, 10*32+17) /* Flexible Return and Event > Delivery */ > +XEN_CPUFEATURE(LKGS, 10*32+18) /*S Load Kernel GS Base */ Can we please keep this 's' until we've had a play on real hardware?

It is intentional that LKGS is usable with CR4.FRED=0, for the benefit of FRED-aware-but-not-active OSes running on FRED-capable hardware. However, FRED=1 systems cannot operate without LKGS. So, perhaps "There is no hard dependency, but the spec requires that LKGS is available in FRED systems" ? ~Andrew
