commit 946c522b603f281195af1df91837a1d4d1eb3bc9 upstream.
The VMCS.EXIT_QUALIFCATION field reports the displacements of memory operands for various instructions, including VMX instructions, as a naturally sized unsigned value, but masks the value by the addr size, e.g. given a ModRM encoded as -0x28(%ebp), the -0x28 displacement is reported as 0xffffffd8 for a 32-bit address size. Despite some weird wording regarding sign extension, the SDM explicitly states that bits beyond the instructions address size are undefined:
In all cases, bits of this field beyond the instruction’s address size are undefined.
Failure to sign extend the displacement results in KVM incorrectly treating a negative displacement as a large positive displacement when the address size of the VMX instruction is smaller than KVM's native size, e.g. a 32-bit address size on a 64-bit KVM.
The very original decoding, added by commit 064aea774768 ("KVM: nVMX: Decoding memory operands of VMX instructions"), sort of modeled sign extension by truncating the final virtual/linear address for a 32-bit address size. I.e. it messed up the effective address but made it work by adjusting the final address.
When segmentation checks were added, the truncation logic was kept as-is and no sign extension logic was introduced. In other words, it kept calculating the wrong effective address while mostly generating the correct virtual/linear address. As the effective address is what's used in the segment limit checks, this results in KVM incorreclty injecting #GP/#SS faults due to non-existent segment violations when a nested VMM uses negative displacements with an address size smaller than KVM's native address size.
Using the -0x28(%ebp) example, an EBP value of 0x1000 will result in KVM using 0x100000fd8 as the effective address when checking for a segment limit violation. This causes a 100% failure rate when running a 32-bit KVM build as L1 on top of a 64-bit KVM L0.
