Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] x86/crash: Fix double NMI shootdown bug
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2022 23:36:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221130233650.1404148-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

Fix a double NMI shootdown bug found and debugged by Guilherme, who did all
the hard work.  NMI shootdown is a one-time thing; the handler leaves NMIs
blocked and enters halt.  At best, a second (or third...) shootdown is an
expensive nop, at worst it can hang the kernel and prevent kexec'ing into
a new kernel, e.g. prior to the hardening of register_nmi_handler(), a
double shootdown resulted in a double list_add(), which is fatal when running
with CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION=y.

With the "right" kexec/kdump configuration, emergency_vmx_disable_all() can
be reached after kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() (currently the only two users
of nmi_shootdown_cpus()).

To fix, move the disabling of virtualization into crash_nmi_callback(),
remove emergency_vmx_disable_all()'s callback, and do a shootdown for
emergency_vmx_disable_all() if and only if a shootdown hasn't yet occurred.
The only thing emergency_vmx_disable_all() cares about is disabling VMX/SVM
(obviously), and since I can't envision a use case for an NMI shootdown that
doesn't want to disable virtualization, doing that in the core handler means
emergency_vmx_disable_all() only needs to ensure _a_ shootdown occurs, it
doesn't care when that shootdown happened or what callback may have run.

Patches 2-4 bring SVM on par with VMX.

v4:
  - Set GIF=1 prior to disabling SVM. [Andrew, Tom]
  - Name new helper cpu_emergency_disable_virtualization() instead of
    cpu_crash_disable_virtualization().
  - Add patch to handle SVM in the stop/reboot case.
  - Drop patch to fold __cpu_emergency_vmxoff() into cpu_emergency_vmxoff(),
    will be sent as part of a larger cleanup.

v3:
  - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221114233441.3895891-1-seanjc@google.com
  - Re-collect Guilherme's Tested-by.
  - Tweak comment in patch 1 to reference STGI instead of CLGI.
  - Celebrate this series' half-birthday.

v2:
  - Use a NULL handler and crash_ipi_issued instead of a magic nop
    handler. [tglx]
  - Add comments to call out that modifying the existing handler
    once the NMI is sent may cause explosions.
  - Add a patch to cleanup cpu_emergency_vmxoff().
