Fabiano Rosas 5d7d6dac8f KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix copy_tofrom_guest routines
The __kvmhv_copy_tofrom_guest_radix function was introduced along with
nested HV guest support. It uses the platform's Radix MMU quadrants to
provide a nested hypervisor with fast access to its nested guests
memory (H_COPY_TOFROM_GUEST hypercall). It has also since been added
as a fast path for the kvmppc_ld/st routines which are used during
instruction emulation.

The commit def0bfdbd6 ("powerpc: use probe_user_read() and
probe_user_write()") changed the low level copy function from
raw_copy_from_user to probe_user_read, which adds a check to
access_ok. In powerpc that is:

 static inline bool __access_ok(unsigned long addr, unsigned long size)
 {
         return addr < TASK_SIZE_MAX && size <= TASK_SIZE_MAX - addr;
 }

and TASK_SIZE_MAX is 0x0010000000000000UL for 64-bit, which means that
setting the two MSBs of the effective address (which correspond to the
quadrant) now cause access_ok to reject the access.

This was not caught earlier because the most common code path via
kvmppc_ld/st contains a fallback (kvm_read_guest) that is likely to
succeed for L1 guests. For nested guests there is no fallback.

Another issue is that probe_user_read (now __copy_from_user_nofault)
does not return the number of bytes not copied in case of failure, so
the destination memory is not being cleared anymore in
kvmhv_copy_from_guest_radix:

 ret = kvmhv_copy_tofrom_guest_radix(vcpu, eaddr, to, NULL, n);
 if (ret > 0)                            <-- always false!
         memset(to + (n - ret), 0, ret);

This patch fixes both issues by skipping access_ok and open-coding the
low level __copy_to/from_user_inatomic.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
