[PATCH 9/9] KVM: x86/mmu: BUG() in rmap helpers iff CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION=y

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu May 11 2023 - 20:00:19 EST


Introduce KVM_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION() and use it in the low-level rmap
helpers to convert the existing BUG()s to WARN_ON_ONCE() when the kernel
is built with CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION=n, i.e. does NOT want to BUG()
on corruption of host kernel data structures. Environments that don't
have infrastructure to automatically capture crash dumps, i.e. aren't
likely to enable CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION=y, are typically better
served overall by WARN-and-continue behavior (for the kernel, the VM is
dead regardless), as a BUG() while holding mmu_lock all but guarantees
the _best_ case scenario is a panic().

Make the BUG()s conditional instead of removing/replacing them entirely as
there's a non-zero chance (though by no means a guarantee) that the damage
isn't contained to the target VM, e.g. if no rmap is found for a SPTE then
KVM may be double-zapping the SPTE, i.e. has already freed the memory the
SPTE pointed at and thus KVM is reading/writing memory that KVM no longer
owns.
