commit 5f6de5cbebee925a612856fce6f9182bb3eee0db upstream.

Tie the lifetime the KVM module to the lifetime of each VM via
kvm.users_count. This way anything that grabs a reference to the VM via
kvm_get_kvm() cannot accidentally outlive the KVM module.

Prior to this commit, the lifetime of the KVM module was tied to the
lifetime of /dev/kvm file descriptors, VM file descriptors, and vCPU
file descriptors by their respective file_operations "owner" field.
This approach is insufficient because references grabbed via
kvm_get_kvm() do not prevent closing any of the aforementioned file
descriptors.

This fixes a long standing theoretical bug in KVM that at least affects
async page faults. kvm_setup_async_pf() grabs a reference via
kvm_get_kvm(), and drops it in an asynchronous work callback. Nothing
prevents the VM file descriptor from being closed and the KVM module
from being unloaded before this callback runs.

Fixes: 3d3aab1b973b ("KVM: set owner of cpu and vm file operations")

<title>KVM: do not allow mapping valid but non-reference-counted pages</title>

commit f8be156be163a052a067306417cd0ff679068c97 upstream.

It's possible to create a region which maps valid but non-refcounted
pages (e.g., tail pages of non-compound higher order allocations). These
host pages can then be returned by gfn_to_page, gfn_to_pfn, etc., family
of APIs, which take a reference to the page, which takes it from 0 to 1.
When the reference is dropped, this will free the page incorrectly.

Fix this by only taking a reference on valid pages if it was non-zero,
which indicates it is participating in normal refcounting (and can be
released with put_page).

This addresses CVE-2021-22543.

commit a9545779ee9e9e103648f6f2552e73cfe808d0f4 upstream.

Use kvm_pfn_t, a.k.a. u64, for the local 'pfn' variable when retrieving
a so called "remapped" hva/pfn pair.  In theory, the hva could resolve to
a pfn in high memory on a 32-bit kernel.

This bug was inadvertantly exposed by commit bd2fae8da794 ("KVM: do not
assume PTE is writable after follow_pfn"), which added an error PFN value
to the mix, causing gcc to comlain about overflowing the unsigned long.

commit bd2fae8da794b55bf2ac02632da3a151b10e664c upstream.

In order to convert an HVA to a PFN, KVM usually tries to use
the get_user_pages family of functinso.  This however is not
possible for VM_IO vmas; in that case, KVM instead uses follow_pfn.

In doing this however KVM loses the information on whether the
PFN is writable.  That is usually not a problem because the main
use of VM_IO vmas with KVM is for BARs in PCI device assignment,
however it is a bug.  To fix it, use follow_pte and check pte_write
while under the protection of the PTE lock.  The information can
be used to fail hva_to_pfn_remapped or passed back to the
caller via *writable.

Usage of follow_pfn was introduced in commit add6a0cd1c5b ("KVM: MMU: try to fix
up page faults before giving up", 2016-07-05); however, even older version
have the same issue, all the way back to commit 2e2e3738af33 ("KVM:
Handle vma regions with no backing page", 2008-07-20), as they also did
not check whether the PFN was writable.

commit 88bf56d04bc3564542049ec4ec168a8b60d0b48c upstream

In kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), tlbs_dirty is used as:
        need_tlb_flush |= kvm-&gt;tlbs_dirty;
with need_tlb_flush's type being int and tlbs_dirty's type being long.

It means that tlbs_dirty is always used as int and the higher 32 bits
is useless.  We need to check tlbs_dirty in a correct way and this
change checks it directly without propagating it to need_tlb_flush.

Note: it's _extremely_ unlikely this neglecting of higher 32 bits can
cause problems in practice.  It would require encountering tlbs_dirty
on a 4 billion count boundary, and KVM would need to be using shadow
paging or be running a nested guest.

[ Upstream commit 7df003c85218b5f5b10a7f6418208f31e813f38f ]

We are testing Virtual Machine with KSM on v5.4-rc2 kernel,
and found the zero_page refcount overflow.
The cause of refcount overflow is increased in try_async_pf
(get_user_page) without being decreased in mmu_set_spte()
while handling ept violation.
In kvm_release_pfn_clean(), only unreserved page will call
put_page. However, zero page is reserved.
So, as well as creating and destroy vm, the refcount of
zero page will continue to increase until it overflows.

step1:
echo 10000 &gt; /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/pages_to_scan
echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/run
echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/use_zero_pages

step2:
just create several normal qemu kvm vms.
And destroy it after 10s.
Repeat this action all the time.

After a long period of time, all domains hang because
of the refcount of zero page overflow.

Qemu print error log as follow:

[ Upstream commit 7df003c85218b5f5b10a7f6418208f31e813f38f ]

We are testing Virtual Machine with KSM on v5.4-rc2 kernel,
and found the zero_page refcount overflow.
The cause of refcount overflow is increased in try_async_pf
(get_user_page) without being decreased in mmu_set_spte()
while handling ept violation.
In kvm_release_pfn_clean(), only unreserved page will call
put_page. However, zero page is reserved.
So, as well as creating and destroy vm, the refcount of
zero page will continue to increase until it overflows.

step1:
echo 10000 &gt; /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/pages_to_scan
echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/run
echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/pages_to_scan/use_zero_pages

step2:
just create several normal qemu kvm vms.
And destroy it after 10s.
Repeat this action all the time.

After a long period of time, all domains hang because
of the refcount of zero page overflow.

Qemu print error log as follow:
 â€¦

<title>KVM: Check for a bad hva before dropping into the ghc slow path</title>

commit fcfbc617547fc6d9552cb6c1c563b6a90ee98085 upstream.

When reading/writing using the guest/host cache, check for a bad hva
before checking for a NULL memslot, which triggers the slow path for
handing cross-page accesses.  Because the memslot is nullified on error
by __kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init(), if the bad hva is encountered after
crossing into a new page, then the kvm_{read,write}_guest() slow path
could potentially write/access the first chunk prior to detecting the
bad hva.

Arguably, performing a partial access is semantically correct from an
architectural perspective, but that behavior is certainly not intended.
In the original implementation, memslot was not explicitly nullified
and therefore the partial access behavior varied based on whether the
memslot itself was null, or if the hva was simply bad.  The current
behavior was introduced as a seemingly unintentional side effect in
commit f1b9dd5eb86c ("kvm: Disallow wraparound in
kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init"), which justified the change with "since some
callers don't check the return code from this function, it sit seems
prudent to clear ghc-&gt;memslot in the event of an error".

Regardless of intent, the partial access is dependent on _not_ checking
the result of the cache initialization, which is arguably a bug in its
own right, at best simply weird.

<title>KVM: MMU: Do not treat ZONE_DEVICE pages as being reserved</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a78986aae9b2988f8493f9f65a587ee433e83bc3 upstream.

Explicitly exempt ZONE_DEVICE pages from kvm_is_reserved_pfn() and
instead manually handle ZONE_DEVICE on a case-by-case basis.  For things
like page refcounts, KVM needs to treat ZONE_DEVICE pages like normal
pages, e.g. put pages grabbed via gup().  But for flows such as setting
A/D bits or shifting refcounts for transparent huge pages, KVM needs to
to avoid processing ZONE_DEVICE pages as the flows in question lack the
underlying machinery for proper handling of ZONE_DEVICE pages.

This fixes a hang reported by Adam Borowski[*] in dev_pagemap_cleanup()
when running a KVM guest backed with /dev/dax memory, as KVM straight up
doesn't put any references to ZONE_DEVICE pages acquired by gup().

Note, Dan Williams proposed an alternative solution of doing put_page()
on ZONE_DEVICE pages immediately after gup() in order to simplify the
auditing needed to ensure is_zone_device_page() is called if and only if
the backing device is pinned (via gup()).  But that approach would break
kvm_vcpu_{un}map() as KVM requires the page to be pinned from map() 'til
unmap() when accessing guest memory, unlike KVM's secondary MMU, which
coordinates with mmu_notifier invalidations to avoid creating stale
page references, i.e. doesn't rely on pages being pinned.

commit a78986aae9b2988f8493f9f65a587ee433e83bc3 upstream.

Explicitly exempt ZONE_DEVICE pages from kvm_is_reserved_pfn() and
instead manually handle ZONE_DEVICE on a case-by-case basis.  For things
like page refcounts, KVM needs to treat ZONE_DEVICE pages like normal
pages, e.g. put pages grabbed via gup().  But for flows such as setting
A/D bits or shifting refcounts for transparent huge pages, KVM needs to
to avoid processing ZONE_DEVICE pages as the flows in question lack the
underlying machinery for proper handling of ZONE_DEVICE pages.

This fixes a hang reported by Adam Borowski[*] in dev_pagemap_cleanup()
when running a KVM guest backed with /dev/dax memory, as KVM straight up
doesn't put any references to ZONE_DEVICE pages acquired by gup().

Note, Dan Williams proposed an alternative solution of doing put_page()
on ZONE_DEVICE pages immediately after gup() in order to simplify the
auditing needed to ensure is_zone_device_page() is called if and only if
the backing device is pinned (via gup()).  But that approach would break
kvm_vcpu_{un}map() as KVM requires the page to be pinned from map() 'til
unmap() when accessing guest memory, unlike KVM's secondary MMU, which
coordinates with mmu_notifier invalidations to avoid creating stale
page references, i.e. doesn't rely on pages being pinned.

commit 1aa9b9572b10529c2e64e2b8f44025d86e124308 upstream.

The page table pages corresponding to broken down large pages are zapped in
FIFO order, so that the large page can potentially be recovered, if it is
not longer being used for execution.  This removes the performance penalty
for walking deeper EPT page tables.

By default, one large page will last about one hour once the guest
reaches a steady state.
