[Bug 1896726] Re: [UBUNTU 20.04.1]Secure guest (qemu) crash during boot (mostly) but also while running workload (rare) (secure execution)

2020-09-23 Thread Frank Heimes
While working on this bug a patched kernel was created and made available here:
https://people.canonical.com/~fheimes/lp1896726/
But it's a patched groovy kernel only, since the commit/patch doesn't cleanly 
apply to focal master-next:

git apply --stat 
~/0001-mm-gup-fix-gup_fast-with-dynamic-page-table-folding.patch
 arch/s390/include/asm/pgtable.h |   42 ---
 include/linux/pgtable.h |   10 +
 mm/gup.c|   18 -
 3 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-)

git apply --check 
~/0001-mm-gup-fix-gup_fast-with-dynamic-page-table-folding.patch
error: patch failed: arch/s390/include/asm/pgtable.h:1260
error: arch/s390/include/asm/pgtable.h: patch does not apply
error: include/linux/pgtable.h: No such file or directory

Please always check if a patch/commit applies cleanly to the master-next
tree of the target Ubuntu kernel releases. If not double check if any
further commits are needed or if a even a backport is required.

There is btw. a significant regression risk associated to this patch,
since it touches general memory management (page table handling and
address translation) and gup code - and this includes common code, where
special care taking is needed, since it may potentially affect millions
of installations across all supported platforms.

Hence my recommendation is to bring this in with the help of an upstream
stable release update (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.4/process
/stable-kernel-rules.html) to upstream kernel 5.4 - which will then be
(more or less) automatically be picked up by the Canonical kernel team
for focal.
