Subject: [PATCH 4/4] X86: Use KVM CR pin MSRs
Strengthen existing control register pinning when running
paravirtualized under KVM. Check which bits KVM supports pinning for
each control register and only pin supported bits which are already
pinned via the existing native protection. Write to KVM CR0/4 pinned
MSRs to enable pinning.
Initiate KVM assisted pinning directly following the setup of native
pinning on boot CPU. For non-boot CPUs initiate paravirtualized pinning
on CPU identification.
Identification of non-boot CPUs takes place after the boot CPU has setup
native CR pinning. Therefore, non-boot CPUs access pinned bits setup by
the boot CPU and request that those be pinned. All CPUs request
paravirtualized pinning of the same bits which are already pinned
natively.
Guests using the kexec system call currently do not support
paravirtualized control register pinning. This is due to early boot
code writing known good values to control registers, these values do
not contain the protected bits. This is due to CPU feature
identification being done at a later time, when the kernel properly
checks if it can enable protections. As such, the pv_cr_pin command line
option has been added which instructs the kernel to disable kexec in
favor of enabling paravirtualized control register pinning. crashkernel
is also disabled when the pv_cr_pin parameter is specified due to its
reliance on kexec.
When we fix kexec, we will still need a way for a kernel with support to
know if the kernel it is attempting to load has support. If a kernel
with this enabled attempts to kexec a kernel where this is not
supported, it would trigger a fault almost immediately.
Liran suggested adding a section to the built image acting as a flag to
signify support for being kexec'd by a kernel with pinning enabled.
Should that approach be implemented, it is likely that the command line
flag (pv_cr_pin) would still be desired for some deprecation period. We
wouldn't want the default behavior to change from being able to kexec
older kernels to not being able to, as this might break some users
workflows.
