Vitaly Kuznetsov 7a35e515a7 KVM: VMX: Properly handle kvm_read/write_guest_virt*() result
Syzbot reports the following issue:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6819 at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:618

'exception' we're trying to inject with kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault()
comes from:

  nested_vmx_get_vmptr()
   kvm_read_guest_virt()
     kvm_read_guest_virt_helper()
       vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->gva_to_gpa()

but it is only set when GVA to GPA conversion fails. In case it doesn't but
we still fail kvm_vcpu_read_guest_page(), X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED is returned and
nested_vmx_get_vmptr() calls kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault() with zeroed
'exception'. This happen when the argument is MMIO.

Paolo also noticed that nested_vmx_get_vmptr() is not the only place in
KVM code where kvm_read/write_guest_virt*() return result is mishandled.
VMX instructions along with INVPCID have the same issue. This was already
noticed before, e.g. see commit 541ab2aeb2 ("KVM: x86: work around
leak of uninitialized stack contents") but was never fully fixed.

KVM could've handled the request correctly by going to userspace and
performing I/O but there doesn't seem to be a good need for such requests
in the first place.

Introduce vmx_handle_memory_failure() as an interim solution.

Note, nested_vmx_get_vmptr() now has three possible outcomes: OK, PF,
KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR and callers need to know if userspace exit is
needed (for KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR) in case of failure. We don't seem
to have a good enum describing this tristate, just add "int *ret" to
nested_vmx_get_vmptr() interface to pass the information.

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.
