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.

commit 670564559ca35b439c8d8861fc399451ddf95137 upstream.

This fixes a Spectre-v1/L1TF vulnerability in ioapic_write_indirect().
This function contains index computations based on the
(attacker-controlled) IOREGSEL register.

This patch depends on patch
"KVM: x86: Protect ioapic_read_indirect() from Spectre-v1/L1TF attacks".

Fixes: 70f93dae32ac ("KVM: Use temporary variable to shorten lines.")

commit b60fe990c6b07ef6d4df67bc0530c7c90a62623a upstream.

The first/last indexes are typically shared with a user app.
The app can change the 'last' index that the kernel uses
to store the next result.  This change sanity checks the index
before using it for writing to a potentially arbitrary address.

This fixes CVE-2019-14821.

commit ddba91801aeb5c160b660caed1800eb3aef403f8 upstream.

KVM's API requires thats ioctls must be issued from the same process
that created the VM.  In other words, userspace can play games with a
VM's file descriptors, e.g. fork(), SCM_RIGHTS, etc..., but only the
creator can do anything useful.  Explicitly reject device ioctls that
are issued by a process other than the VM's creator, and update KVM's
API documentation to extend its requirements to device ioctls.

commit f1b9dd5eb86cec1fcf66aad17e7701d98d024a9a upstream.

Previously, in the case where (gpa + len) wrapped around, the entire
region was not validated, as the comment claimed. It doesn't actually
seem that wraparound should be allowed here at all.

Furthermore, since some callers don't check the return code from this
function, it seems prudent to clear ghc-&gt;memslot in the event of an
error.

commit cfa39381173d5f969daf43582c95ad679189cbc9 upstream.

kvm_ioctl_create_device() does the following:

1. creates a device that holds a reference to the VM object (with a borrowed
   reference, the VM's refcount has not been bumped yet)
2. initializes the device
3. transfers the reference to the device to the caller's file descriptor table
4. calls kvm_get_kvm() to turn the borrowed reference to the VM into a real
   reference

The ownership transfer in step 3 must not happen before the reference to the VM
becomes a proper, non-borrowed reference, which only happens in step 4.
After step 3, an attacker can close the file descriptor and drop the borrowed
reference, which can cause the refcount of the kvm object to drop to zero.

This means that we need to grab a reference for the device before
anon_inode_getfd(), otherwise the VM can disappear from under us.

commit a28ebea2adc4a2bef5989a5a181ec238f59fbcad upstream.

KVM devices were manipulating list data structures without any form of
synchronization, and some implementations of the create operations also
suffered from a lack of synchronization.

Now when we've split the xics create operation into create and init, we
can hold the kvm-&gt;lock mutex while calling the create operation and when
manipulating the devices list.

The error path in the generic code gets slightly ugly because we have to
take the mutex again and delete the device from the list, but holding
the mutex during anon_inode_getfd or releasing/locking the mutex in the
common non-error path seemed wrong.

commit 023e9fddc3616b005c3753fc1bb6526388cd7a30 upstream.

As we are about to hold the kvm-&gt;lock during the create operation on KVM
devices, we should move the call to xics_debugfs_init into its own
function, since holding a mutex over extended amounts of time might not
be a good idea.

Introduce an init operation on the kvm_device_ops struct which cannot
fail and call this, if configured, after the device has been created.
