[PATCH 2/6] KVM: VMX: Add new ops in kvm_x86_ops for LASS violation check

From: Zeng Guang
Date: Thu Apr 20 2023 - 10:16:30 EST


Intel introduce LASS (Linear Address Separation) feature providing
an independent mechanism to achieve the mode-based protection.

LASS partitions 64-bit linear address space into two halves, user-mode
address (LA[bit 63]=0) and supervisor-mode address (LA[bit 63]=1). It
stops any code execution or data access
1. from user mode to supervisor-mode address space
2. from supervisor mode to user-mode address space
and generates LASS violation fault accordingly.

A supervisor mode data access causes a LASS violation only if supervisor
mode access protection is enabled (CR4.SMAP = 1) and either RFLAGS.AC = 0
or the access implicitly accesses a system data structure.

Following are the rule of LASS violation check on the linear address(LA).
User access to supervisor-mode address space:
LA[bit 63] && (CPL == 3)
Supervisor access to user-mode address space:
Instruction fetch: !LA[bit 63] && (CPL < 3)
Data access: !LA[bit 63] && (CR4.SMAP==1) && ((RFLAGS.AC == 0 &&
CPL < 3) || Implicit supervisor access)

Add new ops in kvm_x86_ops to do LASS violation check.
