# Commit a5eaac9245f4f382a3cd0e9710e9d1cba7db20e4 # Date 2020-09-07 11:32:34 +0100 # Author Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> # Committer Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> x86/pv: Fix consistency of 64bit segment bases The comments in save_segments(), _toggle_guest_pt() and write_cr() are false. The %fs and %gs bases can be updated at any time by the guest. As a consequence, Xen's fs_base/etc tracking state is always stale when the vcpu is in context, and must not be used to complete MSR_{FS,GS}_BASE reads, etc. In particular, a sequence such as: wrmsr(MSR_FS_BASE, 0x1ull << 32); write_fs(__USER_DS); base = rdmsr(MSR_FS_BASE); will return the stale base, not the new base. This may cause guest a guest kernel's context switching of userspace to malfunction. Therefore: * Update save_segments(), _toggle_guest_pt() and read_msr() to always read the segment bases from hardware. * Update write_cr(), write_msr() and do_set_segment_base() to not not waste time caching data which is instantly going to become stale again. * Provide comments explaining when the tracking state is and isn't stale. This bug has been present for 14 years, but several bugfixes since have built on and extended the original flawed logic. Fixes: ba9adb737ba ("Apply stricter checking to RDMSR/WRMSR emulations.") Fixes: c42494acb2f ("x86: fix FS/GS base handling when using the fsgsbase feature") Fixed: eccc170053e ("x86/pv: Don't have %cr4.fsgsbase active behind a guest kernels back") Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> --- a/xen/arch/x86/domain.c +++ b/xen/arch/x86/domain.c @@ -1546,6 +1546,16 @@ static void load_segments(struct vcpu *n } } +/* + * Record all guest segment state.
