cpu->cfg.mvendorid is a 32 bit field and kvm_set_one_reg() always write
a target_ulong val, i.e. a 64 bit field in a 64 bit host.

Given that we're passing a pointer to the mvendorid field, the reg is
reading 64 bits starting from mvendorid and going 32 bits in the next
field, marchid. Here's an example:

$ ./qemu-system-riscv64 -machine virt,accel=kvm -m 2G -smp 1 \
      -cpu rv64,marchid=0xab,mvendorid=0xcd,mimpid=0xef(...)

(inside the guest)
    # cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor  : 0
hart               : 0
isa                : rv64imafdc_zicbom_zicboz_zihintpause_zbb_sstc
mmu                : sv57
mvendorid  : 0xab000000cd
marchid            : 0xab
mimpid             : 0xef

'mvendorid' was written as a combination of 0xab (the value from the
adjacent field, marchid) and its intended value 0xcd.

Fix it by assigning cpu->cfg.mvendorid to a target_ulong var 'reg' and
use it as input for kvm_set_one_reg(). Here's the result with this patch
applied and using the same QEMU command line:

    # cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor  : 0
hart               : 0
isa                : rv64imafdc_zicbom_zicboz_zihintpause_zbb_sstc
mmu                : sv57
mvendorid  : 0xcd
marchid            : 0xab
mimpid             : 0xef

This bug affects only the generic (rv64) CPUs when running with KVM in a
64 bit env since the 'host' CPU does not allow the machine IDs to be
changed via command line.

We can use the type of cfg since KVM just gets an address and uses the
KVM register type to determine the size. So here,

    uint32_t reg = cpu->cfg.mvendorid;

and then...

        uint64_t id;
        int ret;
        id = kvm_riscv_reg_id(env, KVM_REG_RISCV_CONFIG,
                              KVM_REG_RISCV_CONFIG_REG(mvendorid));

...we don't need this comment since we're not doing anything special.

I tried it out and it doesn't seem to work. Here's the result:

/ # cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor    : 0

marchid              : 0xab
mimpid               : 0xef


The issue here is that the kernel considers 'mvendorid' as an unsigned long (or
what QEMU calls target_ulong). kvm_set_one_reg() will write an unsigned long
regardless of the uint32_t typing of 'reg', meaning that it'll end up writing
32 bits of uninitialized stuff from the stack.

Indeed, I managed to reverse the problem in my head. We need to to worry
about KVM's notion of the type, not QEMU's. I feel like we still need some
sort of helper, but one that takes the type of the KVM register into
account. KVM_REG_RISCV_CONFIG registers are KVM ulongs, which may be
different than QEMU's ulongs, if we ever supported 32-bit userspace on
64-bit kernels. Also, not all KVM register types are ulong, some are
explicitly u32s and others u64s. I see kvm_riscv_reg_id() is used to try
and get the right KVM reg size set, but it's broken for RISCV_FP_F_REG(),
since those are all u32s, even when KVM has 64-bit ulong (I guess nobody
is testing get/set-one-reg with F registers using that helper, otherwise
we'd be getting EINVAL from KVM). And KVM_REG_RISCV_FP_D_REG(fcsr) is also
broken and RISCV_TIMER_REG() looks broken with 32-bit KVM, since it should
always be u64. I guess all that stuff needs an audit.

So, I think we need a helper that has a switch on the KVM register type
and provides the right sized buffer for each case.

Is this a suggestion to do this right now in this patch? I didn't understand
whether you're ok with the fix as is for 8.1 or if you want more things done
right away.

Do you want this in for 8.1? It might be a bit late. It helps a lot if
you put in the title [PATCH 8.1]

Yeah, sorry for not putting that in the subject.

At this point I don't think it's worth spinning a rc4 because of this patch. If 
you have something
else critical for 8.1 then it would be nice to slide this in in the mix, but 
it's not critical to
be pushed standalone for rc4.

target_ulong seems that the right choice here. We could perhaps work with
uint64_t (other parts of the code does that) but target_ulong is nicer with
32-bit setups.


Thanks,

We should audit and fix all uses of &cpu->cfg.* with KVM ioctls. We can
also consider introducing wrappers like

#define kvm_set_one_reg_safe(cs, id, addr)  \
({                                          \
     typeof(*(addr)) _addr = *(addr);        \
     kvm_set_one_reg(cs, id, &_addr)         \
})

drew
