[PATCH 01/61] KVM: x86: Return -E2BIG when KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID hits max entries
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Sat Feb 01 2020 - 13:58:01 EST
Fix a long-standing bug that causes KVM to return 0 instead of -E2BIG
when userspace's array is insufficiently sized.
Note, while the Fixes: tag is accurate with respect to the immediate
bug, it's likely that similar bugs in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID existed
prior to the refactoring, e.g. Qemu contains a workaround for the broken
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID behavior that predates the buggy commit by over
two years. The Qemu workaround is also likely the main reason the bug
has gone unreported for so long.
Qemu hack:

kvm: work around supported cpuid ioctl() brokenness
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID has been known to fail to return -E2BIG
when it runs out of entries. Detect this by always trying again
with a bigger table if the ioctl() fills the table.
Fixes: 831bf664e9c1f ("KVM: Refactor and simplify kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid")
