KVM: MIPS: Don't leak FPU/DSP to guest
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The FPU and DSP are enabled via the CP0 Status CU1 and MX bits by
kvm_mips_set_c0_status() on a guest exit, presumably in case there is
active state that needs saving if pre-emption occurs. However neither of
these bits are cleared again when returning to the guest.

This effectively gives the guest access to the FPU/DSP hardware after
the first guest exit even though it is not aware of its presence,
allowing FP instructions in guest user code to intermittently actually
execute instead of trapping into the guest OS for emulation. It will
then read & manipulate the hardware FP registers which technically
belong to the user process (e.g. QEMU), or are stale from another user
process. It can also crash the guest OS by causing an FP exception, for
which a guest exception handler won't have been registered.

First lets save and disable the FPU (and MSA) state with lose_fpu(1)
before entering the guest. This simplifies the problem, especially for
when guest FPU/MSA support is added in the future, and prevents FR=1 FPU
state being live when the FR bit gets cleared for the guest, which
according to the architecture causes the contents of the FPU and vector
registers to become UNPREDICTABLE.

We can then safely remove the enabling of the FPU in
kvm_mips_set_c0_status(), since there should never be any active FPU or
MSA state to save at pre-emption, which should plug the FPU leak.

DSP state is always live rather than being lazily restored, so for that
it is simpler to just clear the MX bit again when re-entering the guest.
