KVM: x86: avoid underflow when scaling TSC frequency
In function kvm_guest_time_update(), __scale_tsc() is used to calculate a TSC *frequency* rather than a TSC value. With low-enough ratios, a TSC value that is less than 1 would underflow to 0 and to an infinite while loop in kvm_get_time_scale(): kvm_guest_time_update(struct kvm_vcpu *v) if (kvm_caps.has_tsc_control) tgt_tsc_khz = kvm_scale_tsc(tgt_tsc_khz, v->arch.l1_tsc_scaling_ratio); __scale_tsc(u64 ratio, u64 tsc) ratio=122380531, tsc=2299998, N=48 ratio*tsc >> N = 0.999... -> 0 Later in the function: Call Trace: <TASK> kvm_get_time_scale arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:2458 [inline] kvm_guest_time_update+0x926/0xb00 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:3268 vcpu_enter_guest.constprop.0+0x1e70/0x3cf0 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:10678 vcpu_run+0x129/0x8d0 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:11126 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x37a/0x13d0 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:11352 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x56b/0xe60 virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4188 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:871 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0x12d/0x190 fs/ioctl.c:857 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:51 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x59/0x110 arch/x86/entry/common.c:81 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x78/0xe2 This can really happen only when fuzzing, since the TSC frequency would have to be nonsensically low.
