  "title": "KVM: SVM: Preserve TLB control (i.e. pending TLB flush) on failed VMRUN",
  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  KVM: SVM: Preserve TLB control (i.e. pending TLB flush) on failed VMRUN  Don\u0027t reset the VMCB\u0027s TLB control back to \u0022do nothing\u0022 on a failed VMRUN, as empirical testing shows that the CPU performs the requested TLB flush if and only if VMRUN is successful, i.e. clearing TLB control on a failed VMRUN effectively drops a TLB flush.  Explicitly track the need to flush all ASIDs on a per-CPU basis, as the ASID reuse condition is tied to the pCPU, not to the vCPU.  As a bonus, this also obviates the need to avoid clobbering FLUSH_ALL_ASID with TLB_CONTROL_FLUSH_ASID, e.g. in svm_flush_tlb_asid().  Deliberately don\u0027t bother saving/restoring the \u0022old\u0022 tlb_ctl on failure, in quotes because it\u0027s not exactly the old tlb_ctl, it\u0027s the tlb_ctl from after pre_svm_run(), but before updating tlb_ctl for flush_all_asids.  If VMRUN fails and TLB_CONTROL_FLUSH_ALL_ASID is forced, then the next successful run of the VMCB *may* unnecessarily flush all ASIDs, which strictly speaking could result in noisy neighbor issues.  However, the fact that new_asid() is already guest-triggerable, because of KVM\u0027s flawed behavior of clearing the ASID on emulated INIT, means that a guest can already trigger a flush of all ASIDs at roughly the same rate.  And once KVM stops clobbering the ASID on emulated INIT, *or* assigns a static ASID to each vCPU, this flaw goes away.",
