In em_fxrstor, we do a get_fpu(), which in return disables preemption.

With preempt_disable(), we do a
segmented_read_std()->kvm_vcpu_read_guest_page(), triggering the warning.

I don't really see a way to avoid two fxstate variables. Unloading the
fpu in between the fxstore/fxrstr could lead to host values getting
overwritten. Loading/saving the fpu in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() would
most probably also not work, as the relevant portions of fxregs_state
would not get saved/restored. So the preemption would still be needed.


So all I can offer for now is the following (untested, can send as
proper patch if needed):

Subject: [PATCH v1] KVM: x86: fix em_fxstor sleeping while in atomic

Commit 9d643f63128b tried to optimize the stack size, but introduced a
guest memory access which might sleep while in atomic.

Let's undo that part of the commit but keep the cleanups.

We can't use kmalloc and friends in emulate.c. We would have to
introduce new emulator callbacks.

a) for malloc and free. hmmm.
b) for carrying out the fxrstr/fixup.

Paolo, what do you suggest?

You can use kmalloc. Any userspace user of emulate.c would have to
write a wrapper. But I'm not sure it's useful... maybe the
asm_safe+memcpy could be moved to a separate noinline function, so that
segmented_read_std is invoked with a leaner stack.

That's basically what we had before 9d643f63128b, however without the
"noinline".

Indeed. I do prefer the usage of __fxstate_size though that was
introduced by 9d643f63128b.

So I'll modify my patch to have that inside a static noinline function
and resend.

Can you please tell me more about this? Is it used for testing? Is
there an example code that builds and tests this in user-space?

Not quite, there's no user outside KVM yet. But the emulator code is
designed to be independent from KVM's memory access primitives; with
"nm" you can see how there are very few undefined symbols:

U ex_handler_default
U find_first_bit
U find_next_bit
U memcpy
U printk

Exceptions are only used for div/idiv, if it gets in the way it's okay
to just revert commit b8c0b6ae498f ("KVM: x86 emulator: convert DIV/IDIV
to fastop", 2013-05-21).

On the other hand, dependencies on Linux headers have sneaked in more
and more, but refactoring those away should not be too hard.

Thanks,

Paolo

Thanks for the info. We may be potentially interested in fuzzing this
in user-space.

This is fixed now (thanks David!), so closing the bug:

#syz fix: KVM: x86: fix em_fxstor() sleeping while in atomic

However, isn't this also needed in 4.14-stable?
