From 5177fe91e4cf78a659aada2c9cf712db4d788481 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2022 16:17:54 +0000 Subject: KVM: arm64: Do not change the PMU event filter after a VCPU has run Userspace can specify which events a guest is allowed to use with the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER attribute. The list of allowed events can be identified by a guest from reading the PMCEID{0,1}_EL0 registers. Changing the PMU event filter after a VCPU has run can cause reads of the registers performed before the filter is changed to return different values than reads performed with the new event filter in place. The architecture defines the two registers as read-only, and this behaviour contradicts that. Keep track when the first VCPU has run and deny changes to the PMU event filter to prevent this from happening.
