Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/crash: Disable virt in core NMI crash handler to
avoid double list_add
Disable virtualization in crash_nmi_callback() and skip the requested NMI
shootdown if a shootdown has already occurred, i.e. a callback has been
registered. The NMI crash shootdown path doesn't play nice with multiple
invocations, e.g. attempting to register the NMI handler multiple times
will trigger a double list_add() and hang the system (in addition to
multiple other issues). If "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" is specified on
the kernel command line, panic() will invoke crash_smp_send_stop() and
result in a second call to nmi_shootdown_cpus() during
native_machine_emergency_restart().
Invoke the callback _before_ disabling virtualization, as the current
VMCS needs to be cleared before doing VMXOFF. Note, this results in a
subtle change in ordering between disabling virtualization and stopping
Intel PT on the responding CPUs. While VMX and Intel PT do interact,
VMXOFF and writes to MSR_IA32_RTIT_CTL do not induce faults between one
another, which is all that matters when panicking.
WARN if nmi_shootdown_cpus() is called a second time with anything other
than the reboot path's "nop" handler, as bailing means the requested
isn't being invoked. Punt true handling of multiple shootdown callbacks
until there's an actual use case for doing so (beyond disabling
virtualization).
Extract the disabling logic to a common helper to deduplicate code, and
to prepare for doing the shootdown in the emergency reboot path if SVM
is supported.
Note, prior to commit ed72736183c4 ("x86/reboot: Force all cpus to exit
VMX root if VMX is supported"), nmi_shootdown_cpus() was subtly protected
against a second invocation by a cpu_vmx_enabled() check as the kdump
handler would disable VMX if it ran first.
Fixes: ed72736183c4 ("x86/reboot: Force all cpus to exit VMX root if VMX is supported)
