Andres Beltran 06caa778d8 hv_utils: Add validation for untrusted Hyper-V values
For additional robustness in the face of Hyper-V errors or malicious
behavior, validate all values that originate from packets that Hyper-V
has sent to the guest in the host-to-guest ring buffer. Ensure that
invalid values cannot cause indexing off the end of the icversion_data
array in vmbus_prep_negotiate_resp().

Andres Beltran a8c3209998 Drivers: hv: vmbus: Copy packets sent by Hyper-V out of the ring buffer
Pointers to ring-buffer packets sent by Hyper-V are used within the
guest VM. Hyper-V can send packets with erroneous values or modify
packet fields after they are processed by the guest. To defend
against these scenarios, return a copy of the incoming VMBus packet
after validating its length and offset fields in hv_pkt_iter_first().
In this way, the packet can no longer be modified by the host.

Andrea Parri (Microsoft) 238d2ed8f7 hv_utils: Always execute the fcopy and vss callbacks in a tasklet
The fcopy and vss callback functions could be running in a tasklet
at the same time they are called in hv_poll_channel().  Current code
serializes the invocations of these functions, and their accesses to
the channel ring buffer, by sending an IPI to the CPU that is allowed
to access the ring buffer, cf. hv_poll_channel().  This IPI mechanism
becomes infeasible if we allow changing the CPU that a channel will
interrupt.  Instead modify the callback wrappers to always execute
the fcopy and vss callbacks in a tasklet, thus mirroring the solution
for the kvp callback functions adopted since commit a3ade8cc47
("HV: properly delay KVP packets when negotiation is in progress").
This will ensure that the callback function can't run on two CPUs at
the same time.

Dexuan Cui 54e19d3401 hv_utils: Add the support of hibernation
Add util_pre_suspend() and util_pre_resume() for some hv_utils devices
(e.g. kvp/vss/fcopy), because they need special handling before
util_suspend() calls vmbus_close().

For kvp, all the possible pending work items should be cancelled.

For vss and fcopy, some extra clean-up needs to be done, i.e. fake a
THAW message for hv_vss_daemon and fake a CANCEL_FCOPY message for
hv_fcopy_daemon, otherwise when the VM resums back, the daemons
can end up in an inconsistent state (i.e. the file systems are
frozen but will never be thawed; the file transmitted via fcopy
may not be complete). Note: there is an extra patch for the daemons:
"Tools: hv: Reopen the devices if read() or write() returns errors",
because the hv_utils driver can not guarantee the whole transaction
finishes completely once util_suspend() starts to run (at this time,
all the userspace processes are frozen).

util_probe() disables channel->callback_event to avoid the race with
the channel callback.

The recv_buffer is used to retrieve data from the VMbus ring buffer.
VMbus ring buffers are sized based on the guest page size which
Hyper-V assumes to be 4KB. But it may be different on some
architectures. So use the Hyper-V page size to allocate the
recv_buffer and set the maximum size to receive.

Olaf Hering 549e658a09 Drivers: hv: fcopy: restore correct transfer length
Till recently the expected length of bytes read by the
daemon did depend on the context. It was either hv_start_fcopy or
hv_do_fcopy. The daemon had a buffer size of two pages, which was much
larger than needed.

Now the expected length of bytes read by the
daemon changed slightly. For START_FILE_COPY it is still the size of
hv_start_fcopy.  But for WRITE_TO_FILE and the other operations it is as
large as the buffer that arrived via vmbus. In case of WRITE_TO_FILE
that is slightly larger than a struct hv_do_fcopy. Since the buffer in
the daemon was still larger everything was fine.

Currently, the daemon reads only what is actually needed.
The new buffer layout is as large as a struct hv_do_fcopy, for the
WRITE_TO_FILE operation. Since the kernel expects a slightly larger
size, hvt_op_read will return -EINVAL because the daemon will read
slightly less than expected. Address this by restoring the expected
buffer size in case of WRITE_TO_FILE.

Vitaly Kuznetsov e0fa3e5e7d Drivers: hv: utils: fix a race on userspace daemons registration
Background: userspace daemons registration protocol for Hyper-V utilities
drivers has two steps:
1) daemon writes its own version to kernel
2) kernel reads it and replies with module version
at this point we consider the handshake procedure being completed and we
do hv_poll_channel() transitioning the utility device to HVUTIL_READY
state. At this point we're ready to handle messages from kernel.

When hvutil_transport is in HVUTIL_TRANSPORT_CHARDEV mode we have a
single buffer for outgoing message. hvutil_transport_send() puts to this
buffer and till the buffer is cleared with hvt_op_read() returns -EFAULT
to all consequent calls. Host<->guest protocol guarantees there is no more
than one request at a time and we will not get new requests till we reply
to the previous one so this single message buffer is enough.

Now to the race. When we finish negotiation procedure and send kernel
module version to userspace with hvutil_transport_send() it goes into the
above mentioned buffer and if the daemon is slow enough to read it from
there we can get a collision when a request from the host comes, we won't
be able to put anything to the buffer so the request will be lost. To
solve the issue we need to know when the negotiation is really done (when
the version message is read by the daemon) and transition to HVUTIL_READY
state after this happens. Implement a callback on read to support this.
Old style netlink communication is not affected by the change, we don't
really know when these messages are delivered but we don't have a single
message buffer there.

Commit 3cace4a616 ("Drivers: hv: utils: run polling callback always in

assignments from *_handle_handshake() functions introducing the following
race: if a userspace daemon connects before we get first non-negotiation
request from the server hv_poll_channel() won't set transaction state to
HVUTIL_READY as (!channel) condition will fail, we set it to non-NULL on
the first real request from the server.

Olaf Hering 3cace4a616 Drivers: hv: utils: run polling callback always in interrupt context
All channel interrupts are bound to specific VCPUs in the guest
at the point channel is created. While currently, we invoke the
polling function on the correct CPU (the CPU to which the channel
is bound to) in some cases we may run the polling function in
a non-interrupt context. This  potentially can cause an issue as the
polling function can be interrupted by the channel callback function.
Fix the issue by running the polling function on the appropriate CPU
at interrupt level. Additional details of the issue being addressed by
this patch are given below:

Currently hv_fcopy_onchannelcallback is called from interrupts and also
via the ->write function of hv_utils. Since the used global variables to
maintain state are not thread safe the state can get out of sync.
This affects the variable state as well as the channel inbound buffer.

As suggested by KY adjust hv_poll_channel to always run the given
callback on the cpu which the channel is bound to. This avoids the need
for locking because all the util services are single threaded and only
one transaction is active at any given point in time.

Additionally, remove the context variable, they will always be the same as
recv_channel.
