[PATCH 0/5] KVM: x86: Fix breakage in KVM_SET_XSAVE's ABI

[Sean Christopherson]

Rework how KVM limits guest-unsupported xfeatures to effectively hide
only when saving state for userspace (KVM_GET_XSAVE), i.e. to let userspace
load all host-supported xfeatures (via KVM_SET_XSAVE) irrespective of
what features have been exposed to the guest.

The effect on KVM_SET_XSAVE was knowingly done by commit ad856280ddea
("x86/kvm/fpu: Limit guest user_xfeatures to supported bits of XCR0"):

    As a bonus, it will also fail if userspace tries to set fpu features
    (with the KVM_SET_XSAVE ioctl) that are not compatible to the guest
    configuration.  Such features will never be returned by KVM_GET_XSAVE
    or KVM_GET_XSAVE2.

Peventing userspace from doing stupid things is usually a good idea, but in
this case restricting KVM_SET_XSAVE actually exacerbated the problem that
commit ad856280ddea was fixing.  As reported by Tyler, rejecting KVM_SET_XSAVE
for guest-unsupported xfeatures breaks live migration from a kernel without
commit ad856280ddea, to a kernel with ad856280ddea.  I.e. from a kernel that
saves guest-unsupported xfeatures to a kernel that doesn't allow loading
guest-unuspported xfeatures.

To make matters even worse, QEMU doesn't terminate if KVM_SET_XSAVE fails,
and so the end result is that the live migration results (possibly silent)
guest data corruption instead of a failed migration.

Patch 1 refactors the FPU code to let KVM pass in a mask of which xfeatures
to save, patch 2 fixes KVM by passing in guest_supported_xcr0 instead of
modifying user_xfeatures directly.

Patches 3-5 are regression tests.

I have no objection if anyone wants patches 1 and 2 squashed together, I
split them purely to make review easier.

Note, this doesn't fix the scenario where a guest is migrated from a "bad"
to a "good" kernel and the target host doesn't support the over-saved set
of xfeatures.  I don't see a way to safely handle that in the kernel without
an opt-in, which more or less defeats the purpose of handling it in KVM.

    buffer
  KVM: x86: Constrain guest-supported xfeatures only at KVM_GET_XSAVE{2}
  KVM: selftests: Touch relevant XSAVE state in guest for state test
  KVM: selftests: Load XSAVE state into untouched vCPU during state test
  KVM: selftests: Force load all supported XSAVE state in state test
