If the vCPU\nis in L2 with INIT *and* a TRIPLE_FAULT request pending, then getting MP\nstate will trigger a nested VM-Exit by way of ->check_nested_events(), and\nemuating the nested VM-Exit can access guest memory.\n\nThe splat was originally hit by syzkaller on a Google-internal kernel, and\nreproduced on an upstream kernel by hacking the triple_fault_event_test\nselftest to stuff a pending INIT, store an MSR on VM-Exit (to generate a\nmemory access on VMX), and do vcpu_mp_state_get() to trigger the scenario.\n\n =============================\n WARNING: suspicious RCU usage\n 6.14.0-rc3-b112d356288b-vmx/pi_lockdep_false_pos-lock #3 Not tainted\n -----------------------------\n include/linux/kvm_host.h:1058 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!\n\n other info that might help us debug this:\n\n rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1\n 1 lock held by triple_fault_ev/1256:\n #0: ffff88810df5a330 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x8b/0x9a0 [kvm]\n\n stack backtrace:\n CPU: 11 UID: 1000 PID: 1256 Comm: triple_fault_ev Not tainted 6.14.0-rc3-b112d356288b-vmx #3\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015\n Call Trace:\n \n dump_stack_lvl+0x7f/0x90\n lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x144/0x190\n kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot+0x156/0x180 [kvm]\n kvm_vcpu_read_guest+0x3e/0x90 [kvm]\n read_and_check_msr_entry+0x2e/0x180 [kvm_intel]\n __nested_vmx_vmexit+0x550/0xde0 [kvm_intel]\n kvm_check_nested_events+0x1b/0x30 [kvm]\n kvm_apic_accept_events+0x33/0x100 [kvm]\n kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_get_mpstate+0x30/0x1d0 [kvm]\n kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x33e/0x9a0 [kvm]\n __x64_sys_ioctl+0x8b/0xb0\n do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x170\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53\n ", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "1c96dcceaeb3a99aaf0d548eef2223e0b02a7e40", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "56d997b257075951a46663970cd350cd5e34c041" }, { "version": "1c96dcceaeb3a99aaf0d548eef2223e0b02a7e40", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "0357c8406dfa09430dd9858ebe813feb65524b6e" }, { "version": "1c96dcceaeb3a99aaf0d548eef2223e0b02a7e40", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "8a3df0aa1087a89f5ce55f4aba816bfcb1ecf1be" }, { "version": "1c96dcceaeb3a99aaf0d548eef2223e0b02a7e40", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "7bc5c360375d28ba5ef6298b0d53e735c81d66a1" }, { "version": "1c96dcceaeb3a99aaf0d548eef2223e0b02a7e40", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "f5cbe725b7477b4cd677be1b86b4e08f90572997" }, { "version": "1c96dcceaeb3a99aaf0d548eef2223e0b02a7e40", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "592e040572f216d916f465047c8ce4a308fcca44" }, { "version": "1c96dcceaeb3a99aaf0d548eef2223e0b02a7e40", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "ef01cac401f18647d62720cf773d7bb0541827da" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "5.11", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "5.11" }, { "version": "5.15.209", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.1.135", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.88", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.24", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.13.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.13.*" }, { "version": "6.14.3", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.14.*" }, { "version": "6.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
