[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH] xen/arm64: entry: Actually skip do_trap_*() when an SError is triggered
From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>
For SErrors, we support two configurations:
* Every SErrors will result to a panic in Xen
* We will forward SErrors triggered by a VM back to itself
For the latter case, we want to skip the call to do_trap_*() because the PC
was already adjusted.
However, the alternative used to decide between the two configurations
is inverted. This would result to the VM corrupting itself if:
* x19 is non-zero in the panic case
* advance PC too much in the second case
Solve the issue by switch from alternative_if to alternative_if_not.
Fixes: a458d3bd0d25 ("xen/arm: entry: Ensure the guest state is synced when
receiving a vSError")
Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>
----
This is a candidate to be backported to all supported tree.
I don't have a setup where I can easily inject SError. But this was tested
by setting x19 to 1 just before the first alternative and use "serrors=panic".
Before this patch, Linux would get stuck.
