From 13ec9308a85702af7c31f3638a2720863848a7f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Matlack dmatlack@google.com Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2023 16:54:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Retry fault if vma_lookup() results become invalid
Read mmu_invalidate_seq before dropping the mmap_lock so that KVM can detect if the results of vma_lookup() (e.g. vma_shift) become stale before it acquires kvm->mmu_lock. This fixes a theoretical bug where a VMA could be changed by userspace after vma_lookup() and before KVM reads the mmu_invalidate_seq, causing KVM to install page table entries based on a (possibly) no-longer-valid vma_shift.
Re-order the MMU cache top-up to earlier in user_mem_abort() so that it is not done after KVM has read mmu_invalidate_seq (i.e. so as to avoid inducing spurious fault retries).
This bug has existed since KVM/ARM's inception. It's unlikely that any sane userspace currently modifies VMAs in such a way as to trigger this race. And even with directed testing I was unable to reproduce it. But a sufficiently motivated host userspace might be able to exploit this race.
