KVM: x86: SVM: Call x86_spec_ctrl_set_guest/host() with interrupts disabled
Mikhail reported the following lockdep splat: WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected CPU 0/KVM/10284 just changed the state of lock: 000000000d538a88 (&st->lock){+...}, at: speculative_store_bypass_update+0x10b/0x170 but this lock was taken by another, HARDIRQ-safe lock in the past: (&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock){-.-.} and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&st->lock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock); lock(&st->lock); <Interrupt> lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock); *** DEADLOCK *** The code path which connects those locks is: speculative_store_bypass_update() ssb_prctl_set() do_seccomp() do_syscall_64() In svm_vcpu_run() speculative_store_bypass_update() is called with interupts enabled via x86_virt_spec_ctrl_set_guest/host(). This is actually a false positive, because GIF=0 so interrupts are disabled even if IF=1; however, we can easily move the invocations of x86_virt_spec_ctrl_set_guest/host() into the interrupt disabled region to cure it, and it's a good idea to keep the GIF=0/IF=1 area as small and self-contained as possible.
