[PATCH 1/3] xen, pvh: fix unbootable VMs (PVH + KASAN - AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT)
From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Fri Aug 02 2024 - 11:43:28 EST
Uninstrument arch/x86/platform/pvh/enlighten.c: KASAN has not been setup
_this_ early in the boot process.
Steps to reproduce:
make allnoconfig
make sure CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT is disabled
AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT independently uninstruments lib/string.o
so PVH boot code calls into uninstrumented memset() and
memcmp() which can make the bug disappear depending on
the compiler.
enable CONFIG_PVH
enable CONFIG_KASAN
enable serial console
this is fun exercise if you never done it from nothing :^)
make
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-enable-kvm \
-cpu host \
-smp cpus=1 \
-m 4096 \
-serial stdio \
-kernel vmlinux \
-append 'console=ttyS0 ignore_loglevel'
Messages on serial console will easily tell OK kernel from unbootable
kernel. In bad case qemu hangs in an infinite loop stroboscoping
"SeaBIOS" message.
