KVM/arm64: Don't emulate a PMU for 32-bit guests if feature not set
kvm->arch.arm_pmu is set when userspace attempts to set the first PMU attribute. As certain attributes are mandatory, arm_pmu ends up always being set to a valid arm_pmu, otherwise KVM will refuse to run the VCPU. However, this only happens if the VCPU has the PMU feature. If the VCPU doesn't have the feature bit set, kvm->arch.arm_pmu will be left uninitialized and equal to NULL. KVM doesn't do ID register emulation for 32-bit guests and accesses to the PMU registers aren't gated by the pmu_visibility() function. This is done to prevent injecting unexpected undefined exceptions in guests which have detected the presence of a hardware PMU. But even though the VCPU feature is missing, KVM still attempts to emulate certain aspects of the PMU when PMU registers are accessed. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference like this one, which happens on an odroid-c4 board when running the kvm-unit-tests pmu-cycle-counter test with kvmtool and without the PMU feature being set: [ 454.402699] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000150 [ 454.405865] Mem abort info: [ 454.408596] ESR = 0x96000004 [ 454.411638] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 454.416901] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 454.419909] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 454.423010] FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault [ 454.427841] Data abort info: [ 454.430687] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004 [ 454.434484] CM = 0, WnR = 0 [ 454.437404] user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=000000000c924000 [ 454.443800] [0000000000000150] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 [ 454.450528] Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 454.456036] Modules linked in: [ 454.459053] CPU: 1 PID: 267 Comm: kvm-vcpu-0 Not tainted 5.18.0-rc4 torvalds#113 [ 454.465697] Hardware name: Hardkernel ODROID-C4 (DT) [ 454.470612] pstate: 60400009 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 454.477512] pc : kvm_pmu_event_mask.isra.0+0x14/0x74 [ 454.482427] lr : kvm_pmu_set_counter_event_type+0x2c/0x80 [ 454.487775] sp : ffff80000a9839c0 [ 454.491050] x29: ffff80000a9839c0 x28: ffff000000a83a00 x27: 0000000000000000 [ 454.498127] x26: 0000000000000000 x25: 0000000000000000 x24: ffff00000a510000 [ 454.505198] x23: ffff000000a83a00 x22: ffff000003b01000 x21: 0000000000000000 [ 454.512271] x20: 000000000000001f x19: 00000000000003ff x18: 0000000000000000 [ 454.519343] x17: 000000008003fe98 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: 0000000000000000 [ 454.526416] x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 0000000000000000 x12: 0000000000000000 [ 454.533489] x11: 000000008003fdbc x10: 0000000000009d20 x9 : 000000000000001b [ 454.540561] x8 : 0000000000000000 x7 : 0000000000000d00 x6 : 0000000000009d00 [ 454.547633] x5 : 0000000000000037 x4 : 0000000000009d00 x3 : 0d09000000000000 [ 454.554705] x2 : 000000000000001f x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000000 [ 454.561779] Call trace: [ 454.564191] kvm_pmu_event_mask.isra.0+0x14/0x74 [ 454.568764] kvm_pmu_set_counter_event_type+0x2c/0x80 [ 454.573766] access_pmu_evtyper+0x128/0x170 [ 454.577905] perform_access+0x34/0x80 [ 454.581527] kvm_handle_cp_32+0x13c/0x160 [ 454.585495] kvm_handle_cp15_32+0x1c/0x30 [ 454.589462] handle_exit+0x70/0x180 [ 454.592912] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x1c4/0x5e0 [ 454.597485] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x23c/0x940 [ 454.601280] __arm64_sys_ioctl+0xa8/0xf0 [ 454.605160] invoke_syscall+0x48/0x114 [ 454.608869] el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0xd4/0xfc [ 454.613527] do_el0_svc+0x28/0x90 [ 454.616803] el0_svc+0x34/0xb0 [ 454.619822] el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa4/0x130 [ 454.624049] el0t_64_sync+0x18c/0x190 [ 454.627675] Code: a9be7bfd 910003fd f9000bf3 52807ff3 (b9415001) [ 454.633714] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- In this particular case, Linux hasn't detected the presence of a hardware PMU because the PMU node is missing from the DTB, so userspace would have been unable to set the VCPU PMU feature even if it attempted it. What happens is that the 32-bit guest reads ID_DFR0, which advertises the presence of the PMU, and when it tries to program a counter, it triggers the NULL pointer dereference because kvm->arch.arm_pmu is NULL. kvm-arch.arm_pmu was introduced by commit 46b1878 ("KVM: arm64: Keep a per-VM pointer to the default PMU").

The odroid-c4 is somewhat of a special case, because Linux doesn't probe the PMU. But the above errors can easily be reproduced on any hardware, with or without a PMU driver, as long as userspace doesn't set the PMU feature. Work around the fact that KVM advertises a PMU even when the VCPU feature is not set by gating all PMU emulation on the feature. The guest can still access the registers without KVM injecting an undefined exception.
