commit 7e46dddd6f6cd5dbf3c7bd04a7e75d19475ac9f2 upstream.

Commit d1442d85cc30 ("KVM: x86: Handle errors when RIP is set during far
jumps") introduced a bug that caused the fix to be incomplete.  Due to
incorrect evaluation, far jump to segment with L bit cleared (i.e., 32-bit
segment) and RIP with any of the high bits set (i.e, RIP[63:32] != 0) set may
not trigger #GP.  As we know, this imposes a security problem.

In addition, the condition for two warnings was incorrect.

<title>x86,kvm,vmx: Preserve CR4 across VM entry</title>

commit d974baa398f34393db76be45f7d4d04fbdbb4a0a upstream.

CR4 isn't constant; at least the TSD and PCE bits can vary.

TBH, treating CR0 and CR3 as constant scares me a bit, too, but it looks
like it's correct.

This adds a branch and a read from cr4 to each vm entry.  Because it is
extremely likely that consecutive entries into the same vcpu will have
the same host cr4 value, this fixes up the vmcs instead of restoring cr4
after the fact.  A subsequent patch will add a kernel-wide cr4 shadow,
reducing the overhead in the common case to just two memory reads and a
branch.

commit d1442d85cc30ea75f7d399474ca738e0bc96f715 upstream.

Far jmp/call/ret may fault while loading a new RIP.  Currently KVM does not
handle this case, and may result in failed vm-entry once the assignment is
done.  The tricky part of doing so is that loading the new CS affects the
VMCS/VMCB state, so if we fail during loading the new RIP, we are left in
unconsistent state.  Therefore, this patch saves on 64-bit the old CS
descriptor and restores it if loading RIP failed.

This fixes CVE-2014-3647.

<title>KVM: x86: use new CS.RPL as CPL during task switch</title>

commit 2356aaeb2f58f491679dc0c38bc3f6dbe54e7ded upstream.

During task switch, all of CS.DPL, CS.RPL, SS.DPL must match (in addition
to all the other requirements) and will be the new CPL.  So far this
worked by carefully setting the CS selector and flag before doing the
task switch; setting CS.selector will already change the CPL.

However, this will not work once we get the CPL from SS.DPL, because
then you will have to set the full segment descriptor cache to change
the CPL.  ctxt-&gt;ops-&gt;cpl(ctxt) will then return the old CPL during the
task switch, and the check that SS.DPL == CPL will fail.

Temporarily assume that the CPL comes from CS.RPL during task switch
to a protected-mode task.  This is the same approach used in QEMU's
emulation code, which (until version 2.0) manually tracks the CPL.

commit 234f3ce485d54017f15cf5e0699cff4100121601 upstream.

Before changing rip (during jmp, call, ret, etc.) the target should be asserted
to be canonical one, as real CPUs do.  During sysret, both target rsp and rip
should be canonical. If any of these values is noncanonical, a #GP exception
should occur.  The exception to this rule are syscall and sysenter instructions
in which the assigned rip is checked during the assignment to the relevant
MSRs.

This patch fixes the emulator to behave as real CPUs do for near branches.
Far branches are handled by the next patch.

This fixes CVE-2014-3647.

commit bfd0a56b90005f8c8a004baf407ad90045c2b11e upstream.

If we let L1 use EPT, we should probably also support the INVEPT instruction.

In our current nested EPT implementation, when L1 changes its EPT table
for L2 (i.e., EPT12), L0 modifies the shadow EPT table (EPT02), and in
the course of this modification already calls INVEPT. But if last level
of shadow page is unsync not all L1's changes to EPT12 are intercepted,
which means roots need to be synced when L1 calls INVEPT. Global INVEPT
should not be different since roots are synced by kvm_mmu_load() each
time EPTP02 changes.

commit 2febc839133280d5a5e8e1179c94ea674489dae2 upstream.

There's a race condition in the PIT emulation code in KVM.  In
__kvm_migrate_pit_timer the pit_timer object is accessed without
synchronization.  If the race condition occurs at the wrong time this
can crash the host kernel.

This fixes CVE-2014-3611.
