[ Upstream commit 85b640450ddcfa09cf72771b69a9c3daf0ddc772 ]
Fix a benign data race reported by syzbot+KCSAN[*] by ensuring vcpu->cpu is read exactly once, and by ensuring the vCPU is booted from guest mode if kvm_arch_vcpu_should_kick() returns true. Fix a similar race in kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() by ensuring the vCPU is interrupted if kvm_request_needs_ipi() returns true.
Reading vcpu->cpu before vcpu->mode (via kvm_arch_vcpu_should_kick() or kvm_request_needs_ipi()) means the target vCPU could get migrated (change vcpu->cpu) and enter !OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE between reading vcpu->cpud and reading vcpu->mode. If that happens, the kick/IPI will be sent to the old pCPU, not the new pCPU that is now running the vCPU or reading SPTEs.
Although failing to kick the vCPU is not exactly ideal, practically speaking it cannot cause a functional issue unless there is also a bug in the caller, and any such bug would exist regardless of kvm_vcpu_kick()'s behavior.
The purpose of sending an IPI is purely to get a vCPU into the host (or out of reading SPTEs) so that the vCPU can recognize a change in state, e.g. a KVM_REQ_* request. If vCPU's handling of the state change is required for correctness, KVM must ensure either the vCPU sees the change before entering the guest, or that the sender sees the vCPU as running in guest mode. All architectures handle this by (a) sending the request before calling kvm_vcpu_kick() and (b) checking for requests _after_ setting vcpu->mode.
x86's READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES has similar requirements; KVM needs to ensure it kicks and waits for vCPUs that started reading SPTEs _before_ MMU changes were finalized, but any vCPU that starts reading after MMU changes were finalized will see the new state and can continue on uninterrupted.
For uses of kvm_vcpu_kick() that are not paired with a KVM_REQ_*, e.g. x86's kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log(), the order of the kick must not be relied upon for functional correctness, e.g. in the dirty log case, userspace cannot assume it has a 100% complete log if vCPUs are still running.
All that said, eliminate the benign race since the cost of doing so is an "extra" atomic cmpxchg() in the case where the target vCPU is loaded by the current pCPU or is not loaded at all. I.e. the kick will be skipped due to kvm_vcpu_exiting_guest_mode() seeing a compatible vcpu->mode as opposed to the kick being skipped because of the cpu checks.
Keep the "cpu != me" checks even though they appear useless/impossible at first glance. x86 processes guest IPI writes in a fast path that runs in IN_GUEST_MODE, i.e. can call kvm_vcpu_kick() from IN_GUEST_MODE. And calling kvm_vm_bugged()->kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() from IN_GUEST or READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES is perfectly reasonable.
Note, a race with the cpu_online() check in kvm_vcpu_kick() likely persists, e.g. the vCPU could exit guest mode and get offlined between the cpu_online() check and the sending of smp_send_reschedule(). But, the online check appears to exist only to avoid a WARN in x86's native_smp_send_reschedule() that fires if the target CPU is not online. The reschedule WARN exists because CPU offlining takes the CPU out of the scheduling pool, i.e. the WARN is intended to detect the case where the kernel attempts to schedule a task on an offline CPU. The actual sending of the IPI is a non-issue as at worst it will simpy be dropped on the floor. In other words, KVM's usurping of the reschedule IPI could theoretically trigger a WARN if the stars align, but there will be no loss of functionality.
