xen: privcmd: Replace zero-length array with flex-array member and use __counted_by

2023-11-17T09:47:19+00:00

Fake flexible arrays (zero-length and one-element arrays) are deprecated,
and should be replaced by flexible-array members. So, replace
zero-length array with a flexible-array member in `struct
privcmd_kernel_ioreq`.

Also annotate array `ports` with `__counted_by()` to prepare for the
coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the `__counted_by` attribute.
Flexible array members annotated with `__counted_by` can have their
accesses bounds-checked at run-time via `CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS` (for array
indexing) and `CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE` (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions).

This fixes multiple -Warray-bounds warnings:
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1239:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1240:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1241:30: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1245:33: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:1258:67: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'struct ioreq_port[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]

This results in no differences in binary output.

xen: privcmd: Add support for ioeventfd

2023-10-16T13:18:33+00:00

Virtio guests send VIRTIO_MMIO_QUEUE_NOTIFY notification when they need
to notify the backend of an update to the status of the virtqueue. The
backend or another entity, polls the MMIO address for updates to know
when the notification is sent.

It works well if the backend does this polling by itself. But as we move
towards generic backend implementations, we end up implementing this in
a separate user-space program.

Generally, the Virtio backends are implemented to work with the Eventfd
based mechanism. In order to make such backends work with Xen, another
software layer needs to do the polling and send an event via eventfd to
the backend once the notification from guest is received. This results
in an extra context switch.

This is not a new problem in Linux though. It is present with other
hypervisors like KVM, etc. as well. The generic solution implemented in
the kernel for them is to provide an IOCTL call to pass the address to
poll and eventfd, which lets the kernel take care of polling and raise
an event on the eventfd, instead of handling this in user space (which
involves an extra context switch).

This patch adds similar support for xen.

Inspired by existing implementations for KVM, etc..

This also copies ioreq.h header file (only struct ioreq and related
macros) from Xen's source tree (Top commit 5d84f07fe6bf ("xen/pci: drop
remaining uses of bool_t")).

xen: Make struct privcmd_irqfd's layout architecture independent

2023-10-16T13:18:33+00:00

Using indirect pointers in an ioctl command argument means that the
layout is architecture specific, in particular we can't use the same one
from 32-bit compat tasks. The general recommendation is to have __u64
members and use u64_to_user_ptr() to access it from the kernel if we are
unable to avoid the pointers altogether.

xen: privcmd: Add support for irqfd

2023-08-22T10:12:50+00:00

Xen provides support for injecting interrupts to the guests via the
HYPERVISOR_dm_op() hypercall. The same is used by the Virtio based
device backend implementations, in an inefficient manner currently.

Generally, the Virtio backends are implemented to work with the Eventfd
based mechanism. In order to make such backends work with Xen, another
software layer needs to poll the Eventfds and raise an interrupt to the
guest using the Xen based mechanism. This results in an extra context
switch.

This is not a new problem in Linux though. It is present with other
hypervisors like KVM, etc. as well. The generic solution implemented in
the kernel for them is to provide an IOCTL call to pass the interrupt
details and eventfd, which lets the kernel take care of polling the
eventfd and raising of the interrupt, instead of handling this in user
space (which involves an extra context switch).

This patch adds support to inject a specific interrupt to guest using
the eventfd mechanism, by preventing the extra context switch.

mm: ptep_get() conversion

2023-06-19T23:19:25+00:00

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper.  This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE().  This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.

But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte.  Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best.  It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.

Conversion was done using Coccinelle:

----

// $ make coccicheck \
//          COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
//          SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
//          MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@

- *v
+ ptep_get(v)

----

Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so.  This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.

Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot.  The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get().  HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined.  Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n.  This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

xen/privcmd: Fix a possible warning in privcmd_ioctl_mmap_resource()

2022-12-05T12:54:29+00:00

As 'kdata.num' is user-controlled data, if user tries to allocate
memory larger than(>=) MAX_ORDER, then kcalloc() will fail, it
creates a stack trace and messes up dmesg with a warning.

Call trace:
-> privcmd_ioctl
--> privcmd_ioctl_mmap_resource

Add __GFP_NOWARN in order to avoid too large allocation warning.
This is detected by static analysis using smatch.

xen: use vma_lookup() in privcmd_ioctl_mmap()

vma_lookup() walks the VMA tree for a specific value, find_vma() will
search the tree after walking to a specific value.  It is more efficient
to only walk to the requested value since privcmd_ioctl_mmap() will exit
the loop if vm_start != msg->va.

xen/privcmd: fix error exit of privcmd_ioctl_dm_op()

2022-08-25T14:40:28+00:00

The error exit of privcmd_ioctl_dm_op() is calling unlock_pages()
potentially with pages being NULL, leading to a NULL dereference.

Additionally lock_pages() doesn't check for pin_user_pages_fast()
having been completely successful, resulting in potentially not
locking all pages into memory. This could result in sporadic failures
when using the related memory in user mode.

Fix all of that by calling unlock_pages() always with the real number
of pinned pages, which will be zero in case pages being NULL, and by
checking the number of pages pinned by pin_user_pages_fast() matching
the expected number of pages.

xen/privcmd: drop "pages" parameter from xen_remap_pfn()

2021-10-05T06:20:27+00:00

The function doesn't use it and all of its callers say in a comment that
their respective arguments are to be non-NULL only in auto-translated
mode. Since xen_remap_domain_mfn_array() isn't supposed to be used by
non-PV, drop the parameter there as well. It was bogusly passed as non-
NULL (PRIV_VMA_LOCKED) by its only caller anyway. For
xen_remap_domain_gfn_range(), otoh, it's not clear at all why this
wouldn't want / might not need to gain auto-translated support down the
road, so the parameter is retained there despite now remaining unused
(and the only caller passing NULL); correct a respective comment as
well.
