[ Upstream commit ede5f3e7b54a4347be4d8525269eae50902bd7cd ]

The ERET instruction to return from exception is used for returning from
exception level (Status.EXL) and error level (Status.ERL). If both bits
are set however we should be returning from ERL first, as ERL can
interrupt EXL, for example when an NMI is taken. KVM however checks EXL
first.

Fix the order of the checks to match the pseudocode in the instruction
set manual.

commit ba913e4f72fc9cfd03dad968dfb110eb49211d80 upstream.

When mapping a page into the guest we error check using is_error_pfn(),
however this doesn't detect a value of KVM_PFN_NOSLOT, indicating an
error HVA for the page. This can only happen on MIPS right now due to
unusual memslot management (e.g. being moved / removed / resized), or
with an Enhanced Virtual Memory (EVA) configuration where the default
KVM_HVA_ERR_* and kvm_is_error_hva() definitions are unsuitable (fixed
in a later patch). This case will be treated as a pfn of zero, mapping
the first page of physical memory into the guest.

It would appear the MIPS KVM port wasn't updated prior to being merged
(in v3.10) to take commit 81c52c56e2b4 ("KVM: do not treat noslot pfn as
a error pfn") into account (merged v3.8), which converted a bunch of
is_error_pfn() calls to is_error_noslot_pfn(). Switch to using
is_error_noslot_pfn() instead to catch this case properly.

[ Upstream commit 797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8 ]

Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never
get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module.

This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under
QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB
handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate
part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable,
but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they
are marked global.

An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after
switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel
instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill
exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating
EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel
mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user
(guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address
error exceptions.

[ Upstream commit b45bacd2d048f405c7760e5cc9b60dd67708734f ]

Writing CP0_Compare clears the timer interrupt pending bit
(CP0_Cause.TI), but this wasn't being done atomically. If a timer
interrupt raced with the write of the guest CP0_Compare, the timer
interrupt could end up being pending even though the new CP0_Compare is
nowhere near CP0_Count.

We were already updating the hrtimer expiry with
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), which used both kvm_mips_freeze_hrtimer() and
kvm_mips_resume_hrtimer(). Close the race window by expanding out
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), and clearing CP0_Cause.TI and setting
CP0_Compare between the freeze and resume. Since the pending timer
interrupt should not be cleared when CP0_Compare is written via the KVM
user API, an ack argument is added to distinguish the source of the
write.

[ Upstream commit 4355c44f063d3de4f072d796604c7f4ba4085cc3 ]

There's a particularly narrow and subtle race condition when the
software emulated guest timer is frozen which can allow a guest timer
interrupt to be missed.

This happens due to the hrtimer expiry being inexact, so very
occasionally the freeze time will be after the moment when the emulated
CP0_Count transitions to the same value as CP0_Compare (so an IRQ should
be generated), but before the moment when the hrtimer is due to expire
(so no IRQ is generated). The IRQ won't be generated when the timer is
resumed either, since the resume CP0_Count will already match CP0_Compare.

With VZ guests in particular this is far more likely to happen, since
the soft timer may be frozen frequently in order to restore the timer
state to the hardware guest timer. This happens after 5-10 hours of
guest soak testing, resulting in an overflow in guest kernel timekeeping
calculations, hanging the guest. A more focussed test case to
intentionally hit the race (with the help of a new hypcall to cause the
timer state to migrated between hardware &amp; software) hits the condition
fairly reliably within around 30 seconds.

Instead of relying purely on the inexact hrtimer expiry to determine
whether an IRQ should be generated, read the guest CP0_Compare and
directly check whether the freeze time is before or after it. Only if
CP0_Count is on or after CP0_Compare do we check the hrtimer expiry to
determine whether the last IRQ has already been generated (which will
have pushed back the expiry by one timer period).

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 98119ad53376885819d93dfb8737b6a9a61ca0ba ]

Guest user mode can generate a guest MSA Disabled exception on an MSA
capable core by simply trying to execute an MSA instruction. Since this
exception is unknown to KVM it will be passed on to the guest kernel.
However guest Linux kernels prior to v3.15 do not set up an exception
handler for the MSA Disabled exception as they don't support any MSA
capable cores. This results in a guest OS panic.

Since an older processor ID may be being emulated, and MSA support is
not advertised to the guest, the correct behaviour is to generate a
Reserved Instruction exception in the guest kernel so it can send the
guest process an illegal instruction signal (SIGILL), as would happen
with a non-MSA-capable core.

Fix this as minimally as reasonably possible by preventing
kvm_mips_check_privilege() from relaying MSA Disabled exceptions from
guest user mode to the guest kernel, and handling the MSA Disabled
exception by emulating a Reserved Instruction exception in the guest,
via a new handle_msa_disabled() KVM callback.

commit b3cffac04eca9af46e1e23560a8ee22b1bd36d43 upstream.

Currently the guest exit trace event saves the VCPU pointer to the
structure, and the guest PC is retrieved by dereferencing it when the
event is printed rather than directly from the trace record. This isn't
safe as the printing may occur long afterwards, after the PC has changed
and potentially after the VCPU has been freed. Usually this results in
the same (wrong) PC being printed for multiple trace events. It also
isn't portable as userland has no way to access the VCPU data structure
when interpreting the trace record itself.

Lets save the actual PC in the structure so that the correct value is
accessible later.

<title>KVM: MIPS: Don't leak FPU/DSP to guest</title>

<content type='text'>
commit f798217dfd038af981a18bbe4bc57027a08bb182 upstream.

The FPU and DSP are enabled via the CP0 Status CU1 and MX bits by
kvm_mips_set_c0_status() on a guest exit, presumably in case there is
active state that needs saving if pre-emption occurs. However neither of
these bits are cleared again when returning to the guest.

This effectively gives the guest access to the FPU/DSP hardware after
the first guest exit even though it is not aware of its presence,
allowing FP instructions in guest user code to intermittently actually
execute instead of trapping into the guest OS for emulation. It will
then read &amp; manipulate the hardware FP registers which technically
belong to the user process (e.g. QEMU), or are stale from another user
process. It can also crash the guest OS by causing an FP exception, for
which a guest exception handler won't have been registered.

First lets save and disable the FPU (and MSA) state with lose_fpu(1)
before entering the guest. This simplifies the problem, especially for
when guest FPU/MSA support is added in the future, and prevents FR=1 FPU
state being live when the FR bit gets cleared for the guest, which
according to the architecture causes the contents of the FPU and vector
registers to become UNPREDICTABLE.

We can then safely remove the enabling of the FPU in
kvm_mips_set_c0_status(), since there should never be any active FPU or
MSA state to save at pre-emption, which should plug the FPU leak.

DSP state is always live rather than being lazily restored, so for that
it is simpler to just clear the MX bit again when re-entering the guest.
