6 daysKVM: SEV: Unmap and unpin the GHCB as needed on vCPU freeSean Christopherson
Unmap and unpin the GHCB as needed when freeing a vCPU. If the VM is destroyed after mapping+pinning the GHCB on #VMGEXIT, without re-running the vCPU, KVM will effectively leak the GHCB and any mappings created for the GHCB.

Add a "psc" struct to vcpu_sev_es_state to avoid having to prefix all of the fields with "psc_". Take advantage of the code churn to opportunistically rename local variables to "guest_psc" to make it more obvious that the buffer is guest data, and more importantly, guest accessible! Opportunistically rename inflight => batch_size as well, because there can really only be one operation in-flight (per-vCPU), i.e. "inflight" _looks_ like a boolean, but in actuality is an integer tracking how many pages are being handled by the current operation.

When setting the length of the GHCB scratch area, and the area is in the GHCB shared buffer, set the effective length of the scratch area to the max possible size given the start of the guest-provided pointer, and the end of the shared buffer. The code was "fine" when first introduced, as KVM doesn't consult the length of the buffer when emulating MMIO, because the passed in @len always specifies the *max* size required. But for PSC requests, the incoming @len is just the minimum length (to process the header), and KVM needs to know the full size of the scratch area to avoid buffer overflows (spoiler alert). Opportunistically rename @len => @min_len to better reflect its role.

When handling a Page State Change (PSC) #VMGEXIT use the size of the PSC header as the minimum size for the scratch area.

11 daysKVM: SEV: Require in-GHCB scratch area if GHCB v2+ is in useMichael Roth
As per the GHCB spec, when using GHCB v2+ require the software scratch area to reside in the GHCB's shared buffer. Note, things like Page State Change (PSC) requests _rely_ on this behavior, as the guest can't provide a length when making the request, i.e. the size of the guest payload is bounded by the size of the shared buffer. Failure to force usage of the GHCB, and a slew of other flaws, lets a malicious SNP guest corrupt host kernel heap memory, and leak host heap layout information. setup_vmgexit_scratch() allocates a buffer via kvzalloc(exit_info_2), where exit_info_2 is guest-controlled. With exit_info_2=24, this yields a 24-byte allocation in kmalloc-cg-32 (32-byte slab objects). The buffer holds an 8-byte psc_hdr followed by 8-byte psc_entry structs, so only entries[0] and entries[1] are in-bounds. snp_begin_psc() validates end_entry against VMGEXIT_PSC_MAX_COUNT (253) but NOT against the actual buffer size: idx_end = hdr->end_entry; if (idx_end >= VMGEXIT_PSC_MAX_COUNT) { // checks 253, not buffer snp_complete_psc(svm, ...); return 1; } for (idx = idx_start; idx <= idx_end; idx++) { entry_start = entries[idx]; // OOB when idx >= 2 The guest sets end_entry=10+, causing the host to iterate entries[2+] which are OOB into adjacent slab objects. For each OOB entry: - The host reads 8 bytes (OOB READ / info leak oracle) - If the data passes PSC validation, __snp_complete_one_psc() writes cur_page = 1 or 512 into the entry (OOB WRITE, sev.c:3806) - If validation fails, the error response reveals whether adjacent memory is zero vs non-zero (information disclosure to guest) The guest controls allocation size (exit_info_2), entry range (cur_entry/end_entry), and can fire unlimited VMGEXITs to repeatedly hit different slab positions. By exploiting the variety of bugs, a malicious SEV-SNP guest can: - OOB read adjacent kmalloc-cg-32 objects (heap layout disclosure) - OOB write cur_page bits into adjacent objects (heap corruption) - Trigger use-after-free conditions across VMGEXITs E.g. with KASAN enabled, a single insmod of the PoC guest module produces 73 KASAN reports: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in snp_begin_psc+0x126/0x890 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888219ffb5e0 by task qemu-system-x86/2199 BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in snp_begin_psc+0x468/0x890 Write of size 8 at addr ffff888351566648 by task qemu-system-x86/2199 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888XXXXXXXXX which belongs to the cache kmalloc-cg-32 of size 32 The buggy address is located N bytes to the right of allocated 32-byte region [ffff888XXXXXXXXX, ffff888XXXXXXXXX) Breakdown: 62 slab-out-of-bounds (reads + writes past allocation) 7 slab-use-after-free 4 use-after-free All credit to Stan for the wonderful description and reproducer!

2026-05-23KVM: SVM: Disable AVIC IPI virtualization on Hygon Family 18h (erratum #1235)Tina Zhang
Hygon Family 18h CPUs are derived from AMD Family 17h (Zen1) silicon and share the same erratum #1235: hardware may read a stale IsRunning=1 bit during ICR write emulation and silently fail to generate an AVIC_IPI_FAILURE_TARGET_NOT_RUNNING VM-Exit on the sending vCPU. The absence of the VM-Exit causes KVM to miss the required wakeup of blocking target vCPUs, leading to hung vCPUs and unbounded delays in guest execution. Extend the existing AMD Family 17h erratum #1235 workaround to also cover Hygon Family 18h. With IPI virtualization disabled, KVM never sets IsRunning=1 in the Physical ID table, so every non-self IPI generates a VM-Exit and is correctly emulated.

2026-05-21KVM: SVM: Flush the current TLB when transitioning from xAVIC => x2AVICSean Christopherson
Flush the current TLB when xAVIC *or* x2AVIC is activated, as KVM is (apparently) responsible for purging TLB entries when transitioning from xAVIC to x2AVIC. The APM says a whole lot of nothing about TLB flushing with respect to (x2)AVIC, but empirical data strongly suggests hardware also does a whole lot of nothing. Failure to flush the TLB when enabling x2AVIC can lead to guest accesses to the APIC base address getting incorrectly redirected to the virtual APIC page. The flaw most visibly manifests as failures in KVM-Unit-Test's verify_disabled_apic_mmio() testcase when x2APIC is enabled (though for reasons unknown, the test only reliably fails with EFI builds).

2026-05-12KVM: x86: use again the flush argument of __link_shadow_page()Paolo Bonzini
Except in the case of parentless nested-TDP pages, mmu_page_zap_pte() clears the SPTE but leaves the invalid_list empty. In this case, using kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() as kvm_mmu_remote_flush_or_zap() does is overkill. Avoid flushing the entirety of the remote TLBs unless the invalid_list was populated: instead, use a more efficient gfn-targeting flush (if available) and skip it altogether if the caller guarantees that a TLB flush is not necessary.

2026-05-12KVM: nSVM: Never use L0's PAUSE loop exiting while L2 is runningSean Christopherson
Never use L0's (KVM's) PAUSE loop exiting controls while L2 is running, and instead always configure vmcb02 according to L1's exact capabilities and desires. The purpose of intercepting PAUSE after N attempts is to detect when the vCPU may be stuck waiting on a lock, so that KVM can schedule in a different vCPU that may be holding said lock. Barring a very interesting setup, L1 and L2 do not share locks, and it's extremely unlikely that an L1 vCPU would hold a spinlock while running L2. I.e. having a vCPU executing in L1 yield to a vCPU running in L2 will not allow the L1 vCPU to make forward progress, and vice versa. While teaching KVM's "on spin" logic to only yield to other vCPUs in L2 is doable, in all likelihood it would do more harm than good for most setups. KVM has limited visibility into which L2 "vCPUs" belong to the same VM, and thus share a locking domain. And even if L2 vCPUs are in the same VM, KVM has no visilibity into L2 vCPU's that are scheduled out by the L1 hypervisor. Furthermore, KVM doesn't actually steal PAUSE exits from L1. If L1 is intercepting PAUSE, KVM will route PAUSE exits to L1, not L0, as nested_svm_intercept() gives priority to the vmcb12 intercept. As such, overriding the count/threshold fields in vmcb02 with vmcb01's values is nonsensical, as doing so clobbers all the training/learning that has been done in L1. Even worse, if L1 is not intercepting PAUSE, i.e. KVM is handling PAUSE exits, then KVM will adjust the PLE knobs based on L2 behavior, which could very well be detrimental to L1, e.g. due to essentially poisoning L1 PLE training with bad data. And copying the count from vmcb02 to vmcb01 on a nested VM-Exit makes even less sense, because again, the purpose of PLE is to detect spinning vCPUs. Whether or not a vCPU is spinning in L2 at the time of a nested VM-Exit has no relevance as to the behavior of the vCPU when it executes in L1. The only scenarios where any of this actually works is if at least one of KVM or L1 is NOT intercepting PAUSE for the guest. Per the original changelog, those were the only scenarios considered to be supported. Disabling KVM's use of PLE makes it so the VM is always in a "supported" mode. Last, but certainly not least, using KVM's count/threshold instead of the values provided by L1 is a blatant violation of the SVM architecture.

2026-05-03KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected GFNSean Christopherson
The shadow MMU computes GFNs for direct shadow pages using sp->gfn plus the SPTE index. This assumption breaks for shadow paging if the guest page tables are modified between VM entries (similar to commit aad885e77496, "KVM: x86/mmu: Drop/zap existing present SPTE even when creating an MMIO SPTE", 2026-03-27). The flow is as follows: - a PDE is installed for a 2MB mapping, and a page in that area is accessed. KVM creates a kvm_mmu_page consisting of 512 4KB pages; the kvm_mmu_page is marked by FNAME(fetch) as direct-mapped because the guest's mapping is a huge page (and thus contiguous). - the PDE mapping is changed from outside the guest. - the guest accesses another page in the same 2MB area. KVM installs a new leaf SPTE and rmap entry; the SPTE uses the "correct" GFN (i.e. based on the new mapping, as changed in the previous step) but that GFN is outside of the [sp->gfn, sp->gfn + 511] range; therefore the rmap entry cannot be found and removed when the kvm_mmu_page is zapped. - the memslot that covers the first 2MB mapping is deleted, and the kvm_mmu_page for the now-invalid GPA is zapped. However, rmap_remove() only looks at the [sp->gfn, sp->gfn + 511] range established in step 1, and fails to find the rmap entry that was recorded by step 3. - any operation that causes an rmap walk for the same page accessed by step 3 then walks a stale rmap and dereferences a freed kvm_mmu_page. This includes dirty logging or MMU notifier invalidations (e.g., from MADV_DONTNEED). The underlying issue is that KVM's walking of shadow PTEs assumes that if a SPTE is present when KVM wants to install a non-leaf SPTE, then the existing kvm_mmu_page must be for the correct gfn. Because the only way for the gfn to be wrong is if KVM messed up and failed to zap a SPTE... which shouldn't happen, but *actually* only happens in response to a guest write. That bug dates back literally forever, as even the first version of KVM assumes that the GFN matches and walks into the "wrong" shadow page. However, that was only an imprecision until 2032a93d66fa ("KVM: MMU: Don't allocate gfns page for direct mmu pages") came along. Fix it by checking for a target gfn mismatch and zapping the existing SPTE. That way the old SP and rmap entries are gone, KVM installs the rmap in the right location, and everyone is happy.

Rename kvm_apic_update_irr()'s "irr_updated" and vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()'s "got_posted_interrupt" to a more accurate "max_irr_is_from_pir", as neither "irr_updated" nor "got_posted_interrupt" is accurate. __kvm_apic_update_irr() and thus kvm_apic_update_irr() specifically return true if and only if the highest priority IRQ, i.e. max_irr, is a "new" pending IRQ from the PIR. I.e. it's possible for the IRR to be updated, i.e. for a posted IRQ to be "got", *without* the APIs returning true. Expand vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()'s comment to explain why it's necessary to set KVM_REQ_EVENT only if a "new" IRQ was found, and to explain why it's safe to do so only if a new IRQ is also the highest priority pending IRQ.

2026-05-03KVM: x86: Do IRR scan in __kvm_apic_update_irr even if PIR is emptyPaolo Bonzini
Fall back to apic_find_highest_vector() when PID.ON is set but PIR turns out to be empty, to correctly report the highest pending interrupt from the existing IRR. In a nested VM stress test, the following WARNING fires in vmx_check_nested_events() when kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() reports a pending interrupt but the subsequent kvm_apic_has_interrupt() (which invokes vmx_sync_pir_to_irr() again) returns -1: WARNING: CPU: 99 PID: 57767 at arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c:4449 vmx_check_nested_events+0x6bf/0x6e0 [kvm_intel] Call Trace: kvm_check_and_inject_events vcpu_enter_guest.constprop.0 vcpu_run kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run kvm_vcpu_ioctl __x64_sys_ioctl do_syscall_64 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe The root cause is a race between vmx_sync_pir_to_irr() on the target vCPU and __vmx_deliver_posted_interrupt() on a sender vCPU. The sender performs two individually-atomic operations that are not a single transaction: 1. pi_test_and_set_pir(vector) -- sets the PIR bit 2. pi_test_and_set_on() -- sets PID.ON The following interleaving triggers the bug: Sender vCPU (IPI): Target vCPU (1st sync_pir_to_irr): B1: set PIR[vector] A1: pi_clear_on() A2: pi_harvest_pir() -> sees B1 bit A3: xchg() -> consumes bit, PIR=0 (1st sync returns correct max_irr) B2: set PID.ON = 1 Target vCPU (2nd sync_pir_to_irr): C1: pi_test_on() -> TRUE (from B2) C2: pi_clear_on() -> ON=0 C3: pi_harvest_pir() -> PIR empty C4: *max_irr = -1, early return IRR NOT SCANNED The interrupt is not lost (it resides in the IRR from the first sync and is recovered on the next vcpu_enter_guest() iteration), but the incorrect max_irr causes a spurious WARNING and a wasted L2 VM-Enter/VM-Exit cycle.

KVM SVM changes for 7.1 - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC (the tracking needs to be per-vCPU, e.g. so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs). - Fix an undefined behavior warning where a crafty userspace can read the "avic" module param before it's fully initialized. - Fix a (likely benign) bug in the "OS-visible workarounds" handling, where KVM could clobber state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel, and clean up and optimize the code. - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a "too large" size based purely on user input, and clean up and harden the related pinning code. - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will trigger an RMP violation #PF and crash the host. - Protect all of sev_mem_enc_register_region() with kvm->lock to ensure sev_guest() is stable for the entire of the function. - Lock all vCPUs when synchronizing VMSAs for SNP guests to ensure the VMSA page isn't actively being used. - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries are required to hold kvm->lock (KVM has had multiple bugs due "is SEV?" checks becoming stale), enforced by lockdep. Add and use vCPU-scoped APIs when possible/appropriate, as all checks that originate from a vCPU are guaranteed to be stable. - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard().

KVM x86 VMXON and EFER.SVME extraction for 7.1 Move _only_ VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (versus all of VMX and SVM enabling) out of KVM and into the core kernel so that non-KVM TDX enabling, e.g. for trusted I/O, can make SEAMCALLs without needing to ensure KVM is fully loaded. TIO isn't a hypervisor, and isn't trying to be a hypervisor. Specifically, TIO should _never_ have it's own VMCSes (that are visible to the host; the TDX-Module has it's own VMCSes to do SEAMCALL/SEAMRET), and so there is simply no reason to move that functionality out of KVM. With that out of the way, dealing with VMXON/VMXOFF and EFER.SVME is a fairly simple refcounting game.

KVM nested SVM changes for 7.1 (with one common x86 fix) - To minimize the probability of corrupting guest state, defer KVM's non-architectural delivery of exception payloads (e.g. CR2 and DR6) until consumption of the payload is imminent, and force delivery of the payload in all paths where userspace saves relevant state. - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT to fix a bug where L2's CR2 can get corrupted after a save/restore, e.g. if the VM is migrated while L2 is faulting in memory. - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE. - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly initialized after save+restore. - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks. - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields on nested #VMEXIT. - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or #GP for SVM-related instructions. - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM). - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain. - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12 to guard against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined features. - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when emulating SVM instructions. Note, KVM is still flawed in that KVM doesn't address size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests; this should probably be documented as a KVM erratum. - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't bastardize AMD's already- sketchy behavior of generating #GP if for "unsupported" addresses). - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs.

KVM x86 MMU changes for 7.1 - Fix an undefined behavior warning where a crafty userspace can read kvm.ko's nx_huge_pages before it's fully initialized. - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in the page table and thus write all bytes. - Bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings if the target gfn can be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage, to avoid the gfn hash lookup.

KVM VMX changes for 7.1 - Drop obsolete (largely ignored by hardwre) branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros, as saving a byte of code per instruction provides more benefits than the (mostly) superfluous prefixes. - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a register input when appropriate. - Drop unnecessary parentheses in cpu_has_load_cet_ctrl() so as not to suggest that "return (x & y);" is KVM's preferred style.

KVM x86 misc changes for 7.1 - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) when it's present in hardware (no additional emulation/virtualization required). - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one of KVM's headers that is included multiple times. - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from unintentionally crashing the VM. - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec. - Misc hardening and cleanup changes.

2026-04-09KVM: SVM: Move lock-protected allocation of SEV ASID into a separate helperCarlos López
Extract the lock-protected parts of SEV ASID allocation into a new helper and opportunistically convert it to use guard() when acquiring the mutex. Preserve the goto even though it's a little odd, as it's there's a fair amount of subtlety that makes it surprisingly difficult to replicate the functionality with a loop construct, and arguably using goto yields the most readable code. No functional change intended.
