This series addresses bug fixes across KVM PPC Book3S HV
locking/synchronization and paired-single instruction decoding.
Patches 1 & 2 fix synchronization and preemption issues introduced in
commit 6165d5dd99db ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: add virtual mode handlers for
HPT hcalls and page faults"):
- Patch 1 adds SRCU read lock protection when walking memslots during
virtual-mode HPT hcalls to prevent use-after-free races with concurrent
memslot updates.
- Patch 2 adds preempt_disable() around all virtual-mode HPTE bit-lock
holders — both the guest vCPU paths (kvmppc_hpte_hv_fault() and
kvmppc_pseries_do_hpt_hcall()) and the host-side paths
(kvm_unmap_rmapp(), kvm_age_rmapp(), resize_hpt_rehash_hpte()) — to
prevent CPU stalls and deadlocks on preemption.
Patch 3 fixes paired-single D-form instruction emulation:
- Patch 3 fixes get_d_signext() to correctly extract the full 12-bit D
displacement field and perform proper two's-complement sign extension.
Testing:
========
All test kernel builds were compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y.
The following scenarios were verified:
1. Power9 PowerNV (L0) in Radix mode:
- Booted L0 host with kernel containing all 3 patches.
- Booted KVM guests in both Radix and Hash modes.
- Ran kernel build workload inside guests — no errors observed.
- Booted L1 guest with the same kernel — booted and ran cleanly.
2. Power9 PowerNV (L0) in Hash mode:
- Booted L0 host with kernel containing all 3 patches.
- Booted KVM guest in Hash mode.
- Ran kernel build workload inside guest — no errors observed.
- Booted L1 nested guest with the same kernel — booted and ran cleanly.
3. Power10 LPAR (L1):
- Booted Power10 LPAR with the patched kernel.
- Booted KVM guest and ran workloads — no errors observed.
Changes in v4:
==============
- v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261006122404.99358-1-amachhiw@linux.ibm.com/
- Patch 2:
- Fixed missing preemption guard in kvm_htab_write(): introduced
kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_remove(), a thin wrapper that brackets
kvmppc_do_h_remove() with preempt_disable()/preempt_enable(), mirroring
the existing kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter() pattern. Replaced both raw
kvmppc_do_h_remove() call sites in kvm_htab_write() with the new wrapper.
- Updated commit message to document the kvm_htab_write() fix.
- Dropped Reviewed-by from Shrikanth Hegde as the patch was materially
extended.
Changes in v3:
==============
- v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260930173750.56759-1-amachhiw@linux.ibm.com/
- Patch 2:
- Fixed preemption window in kvm_unmap_rmapp() and kvm_age_rmapp(): moved
preempt_disable() before lock_rmap() so both the rmap lock and the HPTE
bit-lock are held under a single non-preemptible section, and added
preempt_enable() on all early exits and retry paths before cpu_relax().
- Cleaned up kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages(): removed redundant per-iteration
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pairs since the caller
kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log_hpt() already holds preempt_disable() across the
entire loop.
- Reworded commit message to clearly detail the per-function locking design
and rationale.
- Picked up Reviewed-by tag from Shrikanth Hegde.
- Patch 3:
- Picked up Reviewed-by tag from Shrikanth Hegde.
Changes in v2:
==============
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260928122837.8782-1-amachhiw@linux.ibm.com/
- Patch 2: Extended preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() coverage to also wrap
the HPTE bit-lock hold windows in four host-side virtual-mode functions:
kvm_unmap_rmapp(), kvm_age_rmapp(), kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages(), and
resize_hpt_rehash_hpte(). These were identified as vulnerable by Sashiko AI
review and confirmed correct by audit.
- Dropped Reviewed-by from Ritesh as the patch was materially extended.
- Patch 2: Added warning comment above kvmppc_pseries_do_hpt_hcall()
documenting the preemption requirement.

The virtual-mode HPT hcall handlers (H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_BULK_REMOVE,
H_CLEAR_REF, H_CLEAR_MOD) call into book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c, which accesses
memslots via kvm_memslots_raw(). kvm_memslots_raw() uses
rcu_dereference_raw_check() to bypass SRCU lockdep annotation checking.
This is safe in real mode because the entire guest entry/exit is wrapped
in srcu_read_lock/unlock inside kvmppc_run_core() and
kvmhv_run_single_vcpu().
However, since commit 6165d5dd99db ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: add virtual
mode handlers for HPT hcalls and page faults"), these same handlers are
also executed in virtual mode via kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall(), which runs
after SRCU has already been released on guest exit.
A concurrent KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION deletion or move can therefore
call synchronize_srcu_expedited() — which does not wait for this thread —
and then kfree(slot) and vfree(slot->arch.rmap) while the hcall handler
still holds a raw pointer to the memslot. lock_rmap() then writes to
freed vmalloc memory, leading to use-after-free and memory corruption.
Because kvm_memslots_raw() suppresses lockdep checks, this race is
entirely silent.
Fix this by factoring out the 7 HPT hcall handlers (H_REMOVE, H_ENTER,
H_READ, H_CLEAR_MOD, H_CLEAR_REF, H_PROTECT, H_BULK_REMOVE) into a
helper function, kvmppc_pseries_do_hpt_hcall(), and wrapping its call
site in srcu_read_lock(&kvm->srcu) / srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu, idx).
Targeting only the HPT hcalls avoids wrapping non-HPT hcalls that sleep
(such as H_CONFER, H_REGISTER_VPA, H_PAGE_INIT) or handlers that already
acquire SRCU internally (such as H_RTAS).

kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte() requires virtual-mode callers to run with
preemption disabled, because it can return with HPTE_V_HVLOCK still held
until the caller later unlocks the HPTE. Existing virtual-mode callers
in book3s_64_mmu_hv.c already follow that rule, but several paths do
not.
kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() calls kvmppc_hpte_hv_fault() for hash-mode
data-side and instruction-side faults after guest exit with preemption
enabled. kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall() executes virtual-mode HPT hcall
handlers via kvmppc_pseries_do_hpt_hcall() with preemption enabled; the
handlers for H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_READ, H_CLEAR_MOD, H_CLEAR_REF,
H_PROTECT, and H_BULK_REMOVE all spin on try_lock_hpte() or lock_rmap().
H_ENTER also reaches kvmppc_do_h_enter(), which uses arch_spin_lock() on
kvm->mmu_lock. That raw lock choice is intentional because
kvmppc_do_h_enter() is also called from real-mode paths, so the correct
fix is to establish the proper preemption context at the virtual-mode
caller boundary. kvm_htab_write(), the HPT migration restore path, also
called kvmppc_do_h_remove() directly with preemption enabled from two
sites: once in the n_valid loop to evict any occupied slot before
inserting a new HPTE, and once in the n_invalid loop to evict any
occupied slot that the restore marks as invalid. This was inconsistent:
the insert in the same function already used the guarded
kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter() helper.
On the host side, kvm_unmap_rmapp(), kvm_age_rmapp(),
kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages(), and resize_hpt_rehash_hpte() also acquire
HPTE_V_HVLOCK via try_lock_hpte() in process context with preemption
enabled, serving MMU notifier callbacks, dirty-log harvesting, and HPT
resize respectively.
If any of these threads is preempted while holding HPTE_V_HVLOCK, any
other thread on the same CPU spinning on the same bit-lock can never
make progress, as the lock owner cannot be rescheduled to release it.
This is particularly acute when the spinning thread has preemption
disabled: it will never yield, causing a permanent CPU hang.
Fix this by adding preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pairs around the
two kvmppc_hpte_hv_fault() call sites in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() and
around the kvmppc_pseries_do_hpt_hcall() invocation in
kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall().
For kvm_htab_write(), introduce kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_remove(), a thin
wrapper that brackets kvmppc_do_h_remove() with preempt_disable()/
preempt_enable(), mirroring the existing kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter()
pattern. The wrapper retains the full flags and avpn parameters so that
future virtual-mode callers can use the H_AVPN and H_ANDCOND conditional
guards if needed. Note that kvmppc_do_h_remove() spins on both
HPTE_V_HVLOCK and lock_rmap() (via remove_revmap_chain()); preemption
must be disabled across both bit-locks.
For kvm_unmap_rmapp() and kvm_age_rmapp(), place preempt_disable() before
lock_rmap() so that both the rmap chain lock and the subsequent
HPTE_V_HVLOCK bit-lock are held under a single non-preemptible window.
There is an ABBA ordering constraint between the two locks: the rmap chain
lock must be dropped before spinning on the HPTE bit-lock (documented in
the comment above the try_lock_hpte() call in kvm_unmap_rmapp()). To
preserve this, preempt_enable() is called after unlock_rmap() on the
failed try_lock_hpte() retry path and on any early-exit path, before the
cpu_relax() spin, so the HPTE lock owner can be scheduled.
For kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages(), remove the per-iteration
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pairs: this function has a single call
site, kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log_hpt(), which already holds preempt_disable()
across the entire loop, making the inner guards redundant.
For resize_hpt_rehash_hpte(), place preempt_disable() before the
unconditional try_lock_hpte() spin loop and preempt_enable() after
unlock_hpte() at the single exit point. This function is called from
kvm_vm_ioctl_resize_hpt_commit(), which first quiesces all vCPUs by
clearing kvm->arch.mmu_ready and calling on_each_cpu() to flush any vCPU
currently running in guest mode back to host. With all vCPUs out of the
guest, no vCPU thread can hold HPTE_V_HVLOCK; any remaining lock holder
(an MMU notifier callback or dirty-log walker) runs on a separate CPU
and is not preempted, so the spin always makes forward progress.

get_d_signext() has two compounding bugs since its introduction in 2010:
1. The extraction mask 0x8FF silently drops bits 8-10 of the 12-bit D
field (PPC ISA bits 21-23), corrupting any displacement that has any
of those bits set.
2. The sign-magnitude idiom "-(d & 0x7ff)" is wrong for two's-complement:
for D=0xFFC (encoding of -4) it returns -252 instead of -4.
Together these errors produce a wrong effective address for psq_l, psq_lu,
psq_st, and psq_stu whenever the displacement is negative or is a positive
value >= 0x100 with bits 8-10 set — essentially any real-world paired-
single stack-relative access.
The D field occupies the bottom 12 bits of the instruction word (confirmed
by the adjacent W and I extractions via inst_get_field(inst,16,16) and
inst_get_field(inst,17,19)). Replace the open-coded logic with the standard
sign_extend32(inst & 0xfff, 11), which correctly performs two's-complement
sign extension from 12 bits to 32 bits.
