[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 56/99] MIPS: KVM: Fix timer IRQ race when writing CP0_Compare

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Thu Jul 07 2016 - 14:50:51 EST


3.19.8-ckt23 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b45bacd2d048f405c7760e5cc9b60dd67708734f upstream.

Writing CP0_Compare clears the timer interrupt pending bit
(CP0_Cause.TI), but this wasn't being done atomically. If a timer
interrupt raced with the write of the guest CP0_Compare, the timer
interrupt could end up being pending even though the new CP0_Compare is
nowhere near CP0_Count.

We were already updating the hrtimer expiry with
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), which used both kvm_mips_freeze_hrtimer() and
kvm_mips_resume_hrtimer(). Close the race window by expanding out
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), and clearing CP0_Cause.TI and setting
CP0_Compare between the freeze and resume. Since the pending timer
interrupt should not be cleared when CP0_Compare is written via the KVM
user API, an ack argument is added to distinguish the source of the
write.
