KVM: x86: Return -E2BIG when KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID hits max entries
Fix a long-standing bug that causes KVM to return 0 instead of -E2BIG when userspace's array is insufficiently sized. This technically breaks backwards compatibility, e.g. a userspace with a hardcoded cpuid->nent could theoretically be broken as it would see an error instead of success if cpuid->nent is less than the number of entries required to fully enumerate the host CPU. But, the lowest known cpuid->nent hardcoded by a VMM is 100 (lkvm and selftests), and the limit for current processors on Intel and AMD is well under a 100. E.g. Intel's Icelake server with all the bells and whistles tops out at ~60 entries (variable due to SGX sub-leafs), and AMD's CPUID documentation allows for less than 50. CPUID 0xD sub-leaves on current kernels are capped by the value of KVM_SUPPORTED_XCR0, and therefore so many subleaves cannot have appeared on current kernels. Note, while the Fixes: tag is accurate with respect to the immediate bug, it's likely that similar bugs in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID existed prior to the refactoring, e.g. Qemu contains a workaround for the broken KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID behavior that predates the buggy commit by over two years. The Qemu workaround is also likely the main reason the bug has gone unreported for so long. Qemu hack: commit 76ae317f7c16aec6b469604b1764094870a75470 Author: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Date: Tue May 19 18:55:21 2009 +0100 kvm: work around supported cpuid ioctl() brokenness KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID has been known to fail to return -E2BIG when it runs out of entries. Detect this by always trying again with a bigger table if the ioctl() fills the table.
