[PATCH v3 4/5] KVM: selftests: Add a test for KVM_RUN+rseq to detect task migration bugs

Thu Sep 2 06:30:29 AEST 2021


Add a test to verify an rseq's CPU ID is updated correctly if the task is
migrated while the kernel is handling KVM_RUN.  This is a regression test
for a bug introduced by commit 72c3c0fe54a3 ("x86/kvm: Use generic xfer
to guest work function"), where TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME would be cleared by KVM
without updating rseq, leading to a stale CPU ID and other badness.

+		 *     ioctl(KVM_RUN) enters the guest so that TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
+		 *     (or TIF_NEED_RESCHED, which indirectly leads to handling
+		 *     NOTIFY_RESUME) is handled in KVM context.
+		 *
+		 *     If NOTIFY_RESUME/NEED_RESCHED is set after KVM enters
+		 *     the guest, the guest will trigger a IO/MMIO exit all the
+		 *     way to userspace and the TIF flags will be handled by
+		 *     the generic "exit to userspace" logic, not by KVM.  The
+		 *     exit to userspace is necessary to give the test a chance
+		 *     to check the rseq CPU ID (see #2).
+		 *
+		 *     Alternatively, guest_code() could include an instruction
+		 *     to trigger an exit that is handled by KVM, but any such
+		 *     exit requires architecture specific code.
+		 *
+		 *  2. To let ioctl(KVM_RUN) make its way back to the test
+		 *     before the next round of migration.  The test's check on
+		 *     the rseq CPU ID must wait for migration to complete in
+		 *     order to avoid false positive, thus any kernel rseq bug
+		 *     will be missed if the next migration starts before the
+		 *     check completes.
+		 *
+		 *  3. To ensure the read-side makes efficient forward progress,
+		 *     e.g. if sched_getcpu() involves a syscall.  Stalling the
+		 *     read-side means the test will spend more time waiting for
+		 *     sched_getcpu() to stabilize and less time trying to hit
+		 *     the timing-dependent bug.
+		 *
+		 * Because any bug in this area is likely to be timing-dependent,
+		 * run with a range of delays at 1us intervals from 1us to 10us
+		 * as a best effort to avoid tuning the test to the point where
+		 * it can hit _only_ the original bug and not detect future
+		 * regressions.
+		 *
+		 * The original bug can reproduce with a delay up to ~500us on
+		 * x86-64, but starts to require more iterations to reproduce
+		 * as the delay creeps above ~10us, and the average runtime of
+		 * each iteration obviously increases as well.  Cap the delay
+		 * at 10us to keep test runtime reasonable while minimizing
+		 * potential coverage loss.
+		 *
+		 * The lower bound for reproducing the bug is likely below 1us,
+		 * e.g. failures occur on x86-64 with nanosleep(0), but at that
+		 * point the overhead of the syscall likely dominates the delay.
+		 * Use usleep() for simplicity and to avoid unnecessary kernel
+		 * dependencies.
