Subject: [BUG] arch/x86/kvm/vmx/pmu_intel.c:54: error: dereference of NULL ‘pmc’ [CWE-476]
Hi,
In the build of 6.10.0 from stable tree, the following error was detected.
You see that the function get_fixed_pmc() can return NULL pointer as a result
if msr is outside of [base, base + pmu->nr_arch_fixed_counters) interval.
kvm_pmu_request_counter_reprogram(pmc) is then called with that NULL pointer
as the argument, which expands to .../pmu.h
#define pmc_to_pmu(pmc) (&(pmc)->vcpu->arch.pmu)
which is a NULL pointer dereference in that speculative case.
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/pmu_intel.c
----------------------------
37 static void reprogram_fixed_counters(struct kvm_pmu *pmu, u64 data)
38 {
39 struct kvm_pmc *pmc;
40 u64 old_fixed_ctr_ctrl = pmu->fixed_ctr_ctrl;
41 int i;
42
43 pmu->fixed_ctr_ctrl = data;
44 for (i = 0; i < pmu->nr_arch_fixed_counters; i++) {
45 u8 new_ctrl = fixed_ctrl_field(data, i);
46 u8 old_ctrl = fixed_ctrl_field(old_fixed_ctr_ctrl, i);
47
48 if (old_ctrl == new_ctrl)
49 continue;

51 → pmc = get_fixed_pmc(pmu, MSR_CORE_PERF_FIXED_CTR0 + i);
52
53 __set_bit(KVM_FIXED_PMC_BASE_IDX + i, pmu->pmc_in_use);

Offending commits are: 76d287b2342e1 and 4fa5843d81fdc.
I am not familiar with this subset of code, so I do not know the right code to implement
for the case get_fixed_pmc(pmu, MSR_CORE_PERF_FIXED_CTR0 + i) returns NULL.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Mirsad Todorovac
