From 6ea6e84309ca7e0e850b3083e6b09344ee15c290 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 10:49:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: inject exceptions produced by x86_decode_insn MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sometimes, a processor might execute an instruction while another processor is updating the page tables for that instruction's code page, but before the TLB shootdown completes. The interesting case happens if the page is in the TLB. In general, the processor will succeed in executing the instruction and nothing bad happens. However, what if the instruction is an MMIO access? If *that* happens, KVM invokes the emulator, and the emulator gets the updated page tables. If the update side had marked the code page as non present, the page table walk then will fail and so will x86_decode_insn. Unfortunately, even though kvm_fetch_guest_virt is correctly returning X86EMUL_PROPAGATE_FAULT, x86_decode_insn's caller treats the failure as a fatal error if the instruction cannot simply be reexecuted (as is the case for MMIO). And this in fact happened sometimes when rebooting Windows 2012r2 guests. Just checking ctxt->have_exception and injecting the exception if true is enough to fix the case. Thanks to Eduardo Habkost for helping in the debugging of this issue.
