[libvirt] [PATCHv3 6/6] qemu: process: Validate specific CPUID flags of a guest

When starting a VM the qemu process may filter out some requested features of a domain as it's not supported either by the host or by qemu. Libvirt didn't check if this happened which might end up in changing of the guest ABI when migrating. The proof of concept implementation adds the check for the recently introduced kvm_pv_unhalt cpuid feature bit. This feature depends on both qemu and host kernel support and thus increase the possibility of guest ABI breakage. --- Notes: Version 3: - monitor code is now called only on the correct arch to avoid spurious errors in log Version 2: - adapted to previous changes src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 46 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c index 7c23eb4..95b6d1d 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c @@ -44,6 +44,7 @@ #include "qemu_bridge_filter.h" #include "qemu_migration.h" +#include "cpu/cpu.h" #include "datatypes.h" #include "virlog.h" #include "virerror.h" @@ -3473,6 +3474,47 @@ qemuValidateCpuMax(virDomainDefPtr def, virQEMUCapsPtr qemuCaps) return true; } + +static bool +qemuProcessVerifyGuestCPU(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, virDomainObjPtr vm) +{ + virDomainDefPtr def = vm->def; + virArch arch = def->os.arch; + virCPUDataPtr guestcpu = NULL; + qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr priv = vm->privateData; + bool ret = false; + + switch (arch) { + case VIR_ARCH_I686: + case VIR_ARCH_X86_64: + qemuDomainObjEnterMonitor(driver, vm); + guestcpu = qemuMonitorGetGuestCPU(priv->mon, arch); + qemuDomainObjExitMonitor(driver, vm); + + if (!(guestcpu)) + goto cleanup; + + if (def->features[VIR_DOMAIN_FEATURE_PVSPINLOCK] == VIR_DOMAIN_FEATURE_STATE_ON) { + if (!cpuHasFeature(guestcpu, VIR_CPU_x86_KVM_PV_UNHALT)) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, "%s", + _("host doesn't support paravirtual spinlocks")); + goto cleanup; + } + } + break; + + default: + break; + } + + ret = true; + +cleanup: + cpuDataFree(guestcpu); + return ret; +} + + int qemuProcessStart(virConnectPtr conn, virQEMUDriverPtr driver, virDomainObjPtr vm, @@ -3932,6 +3974,10 @@ int qemuProcessStart(virConnectPtr conn, priv->agentError = true; } + VIR_DEBUG("Detecting if required emulator features are present"); + if (!qemuProcessVerifyGuestCPU(driver, vm)) + goto cleanup; + VIR_DEBUG("Detecting VCPU PIDs"); if (qemuProcessDetectVcpuPIDs(driver, vm) < 0) goto cleanup; -- 1.8.4.2
