[PATCH v6 5/8] kvm: vmx: Extend VMX's #AC interceptor to handle split lock #AC happens in guest

From: Xiaoyao Li
Date: Tue Mar 24 2020 - 11:37:39 EST


There are two types of #AC can be generated in Intel CPUs:
1. legacy alignment check #AC;
2. split lock #AC;

Legacy alignment check #AC can be injected to guest if guest has enabled
alignemnet check.

when host enables split lock detectin, i.e., sld_warn or sld_fatal,
there will be an unexpected #AC in guest and intercepted by KVM because
KVM doesn't virtualize this feature to guest and hardware value of
MSR_TEST_CTRL.SLD bit stays unchanged when vcpu is running.

To handle this unexpected #AC, treat guest just like host usermode that
calling handle_user_split_lock():
- If host is sld_warn, it warns and set TIF_SLD so that __switch_to_xtra()
does the MSR_TEST_CTRL.SLD bit switching when control transfer to/from
this vcpu.
- If host is sld_fatal, forward #AC to userspace, the similar as sending
SIGBUS.
