2026-05-12KVM: x86: Swap the dst and src operand for MOVNTDQASean Christopherson1-1/+1
Swap the MOVNTDQA operands, as MOVNTDQA does NOT in fact have "the same characteristics as 0F E7 (MOVNTDQ)"; MOVNTDQA loads from memory and stores to registers, while MOVNTDQ loads from registers and stores to memory. Per the SDM: MOVNTDQ - Move packed integer values in xmm1 to m128 using non-temporal hint. MOVNTDQA - Move double quadword from m128 to xmm1 using non-temporal hint if WC memory type.

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 emulated MMIO changes for 7.1 Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into a persistent (per-fragment) field to fix use-after-free stack bugs due to KVM dereferencing a stack pointer after an exit to userspace. Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier").
2026-04-03KVM: SVM: Properly check RAX in the emulator for SVM instructionsYosry Ahmed1-2/+1
Architecturally, VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE should generate a #GP if the physical address in RAX is not supported. check_svme_pa() hardcodes this to checking that bits 63-48 are not set. This is incorrect on HW supporting 52 bits of physical address space. Additionally, the emulator does not check if the address is not aligned, which should also result in #GP. Use page_address_valid() which properly checks alignment and the address legality based on the guest's MAXPHYADDR. Plumb it through x86_emulate_ops, similar to is_canonical_addr(), to avoid directly accessing the vCPU object in emulator code.

Open code the handling of completed MMIO reads instead of using an ops hook, as burying the logic behind a (likely RETPOLINE'd) indirect call, and with an unintuitive name, makes relatively straightforward code hard to comprehend.

2026-03-02KVM: x86: Zero-initialize temporary fxregs_state buffers in FXSAVE emulationUros Bizjak1-2/+2
Explicitly zero-initialize stack-allocated struct fxregs_state variables in em_fxsave() and fxregs_fixup() to ensure all padding and unused fields are cleared before use. Both functions declare temporary fxregs_state buffers that may be partially written by fxsave. Although the emulator copies only the architecturally defined portion of the state to userspace, any padding or otherwise untouched bytes in the structure can remain uninitialized. This can lead to the use of uninitialized stack data and may trigger KMSAN reports. In the worst case, it could result in leaking stack contents if such bytes are ever exposed.

2025-11-20KVM: x86: Enable support for emulating AVX MOV instructionsPaolo Bonzini1-7/+7
Some users of KVM have emulated devices (typically added to private forks of QEMU) that execute AVX instructions on PCI BARs. Whenever the guest OS tries to do that, an illegal instruction exception or emulation failure is triggered. Add the Avx flag to move instructions: - (66) 0f 10 - MOVUPS/MOVUPD from memory - (66) 0f 11 - MOVUPS/MOVUPD to memory - 66 0f 6f - MOVDQA from memory - 66 0f 7f - MOVDQA to memory - f3 0f 6f - MOVDQU from memory - f3 0f 7f - MOVDQU to memory - (66) 0f 28 - MOVAPS/MOVAPD from memory - (66) 0f 29 - MOVAPS/MOVAPD to memory - (66) 0f 2b - MOVNTPS/MOVNTPD to memory - 66 0f e7 - MOVNTDQ to memory - 66 0f 38 2a - MOVNTDQA to memory Co-developed-by: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/BD108C42-0382-4B17-B601-434A4BD038E7@fb.com/T/ Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251114003633.60689-11-pbonzini@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
2025-11-19KVM: x86: Add emulator support for decoding VEX prefixesPaolo Bonzini1-10/+112
After all the changes done in the previous patches, the only thing left to support AVX MOV instructions is to expand the VEX prefix into the appropriate REX, 66/F3/F2 and map prefixes. Three-operand instructions are not supported. The Avx bit in this case is not cleared, in fact it is used as the sign that the instruction does support VEX encoding. Until it is added to any instruction, however, the only functional change is to change some not-implemented instructions to #UD if they correspond to a VEX prefix with an invalid map.

2025-11-19KVM: x86: Refactor REX prefix handling in instruction emulationChang S. Bae1-12/+21
Restructure how to represent and interpret REX fields, preparing for handling of both REX2 and VEX. REX uses the upper four bits of a single byte as a fixed identifier, and the lower four bits containing the data. VEX and REX2 extends this so that the first byte identifies the prefix and the rest encode additional bits; and while VEX only has the same four data bits as REX, eight zero bits are a valid value for the data bits of REX2. So, stop storing the REX byte as-is. Instead, store only the low bits of the REX prefix and track separately whether a REX-like prefix was used. No functional changes intended.

2025-11-19KVM: x86: Add AVX support to the emulator's register fetch and writebackPaolo Bonzini1-14/+44
Prepare struct operand for hosting AVX registers. Remove the existing, incomplete code that placed the Avx flag in the operand alignment field, and repurpose the name for a separate bit that indicates: - after decode, whether an instruction supports the VEX prefix; - before writeback, that the instruction did have the VEX prefix and therefore 1) it can have op_bytes == 32; 2) t should clear high bytes of XMM registers. Right now the bit will never be set and the patch has no intended functional change. However, this is actually more vexing than the decoder changes itself, and therefore worth separating.

Emulate the Shadow Stack restriction that the current SSP must be a 32-bit value on a FAR JMP from 64-bit mode to compatibility mode. From the SDM's pseudocode for FAR JMP: IF ShadowStackEnabled(CPL) IF (IA32_EFER.LMA and DEST(segment selector).L) = 0 (* If target is legacy or compatibility mode then the SSP must be in low 4GB *) IF (SSP & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000 != 0); THEN #GP(0); FI; FI; FI; Note, only the current CPL needs to be considered, as FAR JMP can't be used for inter-privilege level transfers, and KVM rejects emulation of all other far branch instructions when Shadow Stacks are enabled. To give the emulator access to GUEST_SSP, special case handling MSR_KVM_INTERNAL_GUEST_SSP in emulator_get_msr() to treat the access as a host access (KVM doesn't allow guest accesses to internal "MSRs"). The ->get_msr() API is only used for implicit accesses from the emulator, i.e. is only used with hardcoded MSR indices, and so any access to MSR_KVM_INTERNAL_GUEST_SSP is guaranteed to be from KVM, i.e. not from the guest via RDMSR.

2025-09-23KVM: x86: Don't emulate instructions affected by CET featuresSean Christopherson1-13/+102
Don't emulate branch instructions, e.g. CALL/RET/JMP etc., that are affected by Shadow Stacks and/or Indirect Branch Tracking when said features are enabled in the guest, as fully emulating CET would require significant complexity for no practical benefit (KVM shouldn't need to emulate branch instructions on modern hosts). Simply doing nothing isn't an option as that would allow a malicious entity to subvert CET protections via the emulator. To detect instructions that are subject to IBT or affect IBT state, use the existing IsBranch flag along with the source operand type to detect indirect branches, and the existing NearBranch flag to detect far JMPs and CALLs, all of which are effectively indirect. Explicitly check for emulation of IRET, FAR RET (IMM), and SYSEXIT (the ret-like far branches) instead of adding another flag, e.g. IsRet, as it's unlikely the emulator will ever need to check for return-like instructions outside of this one specific flow. Use an allow-list instead of a deny-list because (a) it's a shorter list and (b) so that a missed entry gets a false positive, not a false negative (i.e. reject emulation instead of clobbering CET state). For Shadow Stacks, explicitly track instructions that directly affect the current SSP, as KVM's emulator doesn't have existing flags that can be used to precisely detect such instructions. Alternatively, the em_xxx() helpers could directly check for ShadowStack interactions, but using a dedicated flag is arguably easier to audit, and allows for handling both IBT and SHSTK in one fell swoop. Note! On far transfers, do NOT consult the current privilege level and instead treat SHSTK/IBT as being enabled if they're enabled for User *or* Supervisor mode. On inter-privilege level far transfers, SHSTK and IBT can be in play for the target privilege level, i.e. checking the current privilege could get a false negative, and KVM doesn't know the target privilege level until emulation gets under way. Note #2, FAR JMP from 64-bit mode to compatibility mode interacts with the current SSP, but only to ensure SSP[63:32] == 0. Don't tag FAR JMP as SHSTK, which would be rather confusing and would result in FAR JMP being rejected unnecessarily the vast majority of the time (ignoring that it's unlikely to ever be emulated). A future commit will add the #GP(0) check for the specific FAR JMP scenario. Note #3, task switches also modify SSP and so need to be rejected. That too will be addressed in a future commit.

2025-08-19KVM: x86: Don't (re)check L1 intercepts when completing userspace I/OSean Christopherson1-5/+4
When completing emulation of instruction that generated a userspace exit for I/O, don't recheck L1 intercepts as KVM has already finished that phase of instruction execution, i.e. has already committed to allowing L2 to perform I/O. If L1 (or host userspace) modifies the I/O permission bitmaps during the exit to userspace, KVM will treat the access as being intercepted despite already having emulated the I/O access. Pivot on EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE to detect that KVM is completing emulation. Of the three users of EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE, only complete_emulated_io() (the intended "recipient") can reach the code in question. gp_interception()'s use is mutually exclusive with is_guest_mode(), and complete_emulated_insn_gp() unconditionally pairs EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE with EMULTYPE_SKIP. The bad behavior was detected by a syzkaller program that toggles port I/O interception during the userspace I/O exit, ultimately resulting in a WARN on vcpu->arch.pio.count being non-zero due to KVM no completing emulation of the I/O instruction.

2025-08-18KVM: x86: Introduce EM_ASM_1Peter Zijlstra1-13/+58
Replace fastops with C based stubs. There are a bunch of problems with the current fastop infrastructure, most all related to their special calling convention, which bypasses the normal C-ABI. There are two immediate problems with this at present: - it relies on RET preserving EFLAGS; whereas C-ABI does not. - it circumvents compiler based control-flow-integrity checking because its all asm magic. The first is a problem for some mitigations where the x86_indirect_return_thunk needs to include non-trivial work that clobbers EFLAGS (eg. the Skylake call depth tracking thing). The second is a problem because it presents a 'naked' indirect call on kCFI builds, making it a prime target for control flow hijacking. Additionally, given that a large chunk of virtual machine performance relies on absolutely avoiding vmexit these days, this emulation stuff just isn't that critical for performance anymore. As such, replace the fastop calls with normal C functions using the 'execute' member. As noted by Paolo: this code was performance critical for pre-Westmere (2010) and only when running big real mode code.

2025-02-24KVM: x86: Plumb the emulator's starting RIP into nested intercept checksSean Christopherson1-0/+1
When checking for intercept when emulating an instruction on behalf of L2, pass the emulator's view of the RIP of the instruction being emulated to vendor code. Unlike SVM, which communicates the next RIP on VM-Exit, VMX communicates the length of the instruction that generated the VM-Exit, i.e. requires the current and next RIPs. Note, unless userspace modifies RIP during a userspace exit that requires completion, kvm_rip_read() will contain the same information. Pass the emulator's view largely out of a paranoia, and because there is no meaningful cost in doing so.

2025-02-24KVM: nSVM: Pass next RIP, not current RIP, for nested VM-Exit on emulationSean Christopherson1-1/+1
Set "next_rip" in the emulation interception info passed to vendor code using the emulator context's "_eip", not "eip". "eip" holds RIP from the start of emulation, i.e. the RIP of the instruction that's being emulated, whereas _eip tracks the context's current position in decoding the code stream, which at the time of the intercept checks is effectively the RIP of the next instruction. Passing the current RIP as next_rip causes SVM to stuff the wrong value value into vmcb12->control.next_rip if a nested VM-Exit is generated, i.e. if L1 wants to intercept the instruction, and could result in L1 putting L2 into an infinite loop due to restarting L2 with the same RIP over and over.

API-wise, this includes a new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally, there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated pages before mapping them into guest private memory ranges This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough to say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet for the host to provide certificate data for those keys. To support fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit type will be needed to handle fetching the certificate from userspace. An attempt to define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO / KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS exit type to handle this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but is still being discussed by community, so for now this patchset only implements a stub version of SNP Extended Guest Requests that does not provide certificate data x86 - Intel: - Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware - Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested pending posted interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing HLT in L2 (with HLT-exiting disable by L1) - KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch emulation Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are triggered when emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support userspace MMIO during complex (multi-step) emulation Silently ignoring the exit request can result in the WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu->mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to userspace for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed See commit 0dc902267cb3 ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write exits if emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's limitations with respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator flows Generic: - Rename the AS_UNMOVABLE flag that was introduced for KVM to AS_INACCESSIBLE, because the special casing needed by these pages is not due to just unmovability (and in fact they are only unmovable because the CPU cannot access them) - New ioctl to populate the KVM page tables in advance, which is useful to mitigate KVM page faults during guest boot or after live migration.

2024-07-01x86/alternatives, kvm: Fix a couple of CALLs without a frame pointerBorislav Petkov (AMD)1-1/+1
objtool complains: arch/x86/kvm/kvm.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0xc5: call without frame pointer save/setup vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x2eb: call without frame pointer save/setup Make sure %rSP is an output operand to the respective asm() statements. The test_cc() hunk and ALT_OUTPUT_SP() courtesy of peterz. Also from him add some helpful debugging info to the documentation. Now on to the explanations: tl;dr: The alternatives macros are pretty fragile. If I do ALT_OUTPUT_SP(output) in order to be able to package in a %rsp reference for objtool so that a stack frame gets properly generated, the inline asm input operand with positional argument 0 in clear_page(): "0" (page) gets "renumbered" due to the added : "+r" (current_stack_pointer), "=D" (page) and then gcc says: ./arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h:53:9: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an ‘asm’ The fix is to use an explicit "D" constraint which points to a singleton register class (gcc terminology) which ends up doing what is expected here: the page pointer - input and output - should be in the same %rdi register. Other register classes have more than one register in them - example: "r" and "=r" or "A": ‘A’ The ‘a’ and ‘d’ registers. This class is used for instructions that return double word results in the ‘ax:dx’ register pair. Single word values will be allocated either in ‘ax’ or ‘dx’. so using "D" and "=D" just works in this particular case. And yes, one would say, sure, why don't you do "+D" but then: : "+r" (current_stack_pointer), "+D" (page) : [old] "i" (clear_page_orig), [new1] "i" (clear_page_rep), [new2] "i" (clear_page_erms), : "cc", "memory", "rax", "rcx") now find the Waldo^Wcomma which throws a wrench into all this. Because that silly macro has an "input..." consume-all last macro arg and in it, one is supposed to supply input *and* clobbers, leading to silly syntax snafus. Yap, they need to be cleaned up, one fine day...
