Replace the hack added by commit f958bd2314d1 ("KVM: x86: Fix potential put_fpu() w/o load_fpu() on MPX platform") with a more robust approach of unloading+reloading guest FPU state based on whether or not the vCPU's FPU is currently in-use, i.e. currently loaded. This fixes a bug on hosts that support CET but not MPX, where kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_get_mpstate() neglects to load FPU state (it only checks for MPX support) and leads to KVM attempting to put FPU state due to kvm_apic_accept_events() triggering INIT emulation. E.g. on a host with CET but not MPX, syzkaller+KASAN generates: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000004: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000020-0x0000000000000027] CPU: 211 UID: 0 PID: 20451 Comm: syz.9.26 Tainted: G S 6.18.0-smp-DEV #7 NONE Tainted: [S]=CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC Hardware name: Google Izumi/izumi, BIOS 0.20250729.1-0 07/29/2025 RIP: 0010:fpu_swap_kvm_fpstate+0x3ce/0x610 ../arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c:377 RSP: 0018:ff1100410c167cc0 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000004 RBX: 0000000000000020 RCX: 00000000000001aa RDX: 00000000000001ab RSI: ffffffff817bb960 RDI: 0000000022600000 RBP: dffffc0000000000 R08: ff110040d23c8007 R09: 1fe220081a479000 R10: dffffc0000000000 R11: ffe21c081a479001 R12: ff110040d23c8d98 R13: 00000000fffdc578 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ff110040d23c8d90 FS: 00007f86dd1876c0(0000) GS:ff11007fc969b000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f86dd186fa8 CR3: 00000040d1dfa003 CR4: 0000000000f73ef0 PKRU: 80000000 Call Trace: kvm_vcpu_reset+0x80d/0x12c0 ../arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:11818 kvm_apic_accept_events+0x1cb/0x500 ../arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c:3489 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_get_mpstate+0xd0/0x4e0 ../arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12145 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x5e2/0xed0 ../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4539 __se_sys_ioctl+0x11d/0x1b0 ../fs/ioctl.c:51 do_syscall_x64 ../arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x6e/0x940 ../arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e RIP: 0033:0x7f86de71d9c9 with a very simple reproducer: r0 = openat$kvm(0xffffffffffffff9c, &(0x7f0000000000), 0x80b00, 0x0) r1 = ioctl$KVM_CREATE_VM(r0, 0xae01, 0x0) ioctl$KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP(r1, 0xae60) r2 = ioctl$KVM_CREATE_VCPU(r1, 0xae41, 0x0) ioctl$KVM_SET_IRQCHIP(r1, 0x8208ae63, ...) ioctl$KVM_GET_MP_STATE(r2, 0x8004ae98, &(0x7f00000000c0)) Alternatively, the MPX hack in GET_MP_STATE could be extended to cover CET, but from a "don't break existing functionality" perspective, that isn't any less risky than peeking at the state of in_use, and it's far less robust for a long term solution (as evidenced by this bug).
