There's something else that makes the bug hard to reproduce: as
soon as I set RSP to a valid address in inregs before calling
trap_emulator(), the bug is not reproducible anymore.
But if I keep RSP=0, I won't be able to validate the bug fix
because I won't be able to configure a working #PF handler.
This alone makes the bug not reproducible anymore:
diff --git a/x86/emulator.c b/x86/emulator.c
index 72cb035..a7e61ff 100644
--- a/x86/emulator.c
+++ b/x86/emulator.c
@@ -1104,6 +1104,8 @@ static void test_illegal_movbe(void)
static void test_fetch_failure(void *mem, void *alt_insn_page)
{
+ void *stack = alloc_page();
+ inregs = (struct regs){ .rsp = (u64)stack+1024 };
trap_emulator(mem, NULL, NULL);
}
This is what I see:
When we don't have a stack (inregs.rsp=0),
reexecute_instruction() is preventing the emulation failure from
happening on the I/O instruction VM exits, and KVM keeps entering
the VM in a loop (getting thousands of I/O instruction VM exits)
until we finally get an EPT misconfig VM exit on GVA
0xfffffffffffffff8.
When we set up inregs.rsp, reexecute_instruction() also prevents
the emulation from failing on the I/O instruction VM exits, but
instead of a EPT misconfig VM exit, we get EPT violation VM exit
after a few thousand iterations, and the page fault is delivered
to the VCPU.
I don't know why KVM loops so many times on I/O instruction VM
exits before finally getting an emulation failure (or finally
delivering a page fault, if a stack is available), but this might
explain why the bug is so hard to reproduce under normal
circumstances.
