[v3,4/6] x86/vPIT: check values loaded from state save record

Commit Message

Jan Beulich Nov. 28, 2023, 10:35 a.m. UTC

In particular pit_latch_status() and speaker_ioport_read() perform
calculations which assume in-bounds values. Several of the state save
record fields can hold wider ranges, though. Refuse to load values which
cannot result from normal operation, except mode, the init state of
which (see also below) cannot otherwise be reached.

Note that ->gate should only be possible to be zero for channel 2;
enforce that as well.

Adjust pit_reset()'s writing of ->mode as well, to not unduly affect
the value pit_latch_status() may calculate. The chosen mode of 7 is
still one which cannot be established by writing the control word. Note
that with or without this adjustment effectively all switch() statements
using mode as the control expression aren't quite right when the PIT is
still in that init state; there is an apparent assumption that before
these can sensibly be invoked, the guest would init the PIT (i.e. in
particular set the mode).

For mode we could refuse to load values in the [0x08,0xfe] range; I'm
not certain that's going to be overly helpful.

For count I was considering to clip the saved value to 16 bits (i.e. to
convert the internally used 0x10000 back to the architectural 0x0000),
but pit_save() doesn't easily lend itself to such a "fixup". If desired
perhaps better a separate change anyway.

v3: Slightly adjust two comments. Re-base over rename in earlier patch.
v2: Introduce separate checking function; switch to refusing to load
    bogus values. Re-base.

I'm missing something, why should we accept a 0xff mode?  Don't modes
go up to 7 at most (0b111, mode 3).

I don't have a strong opinion.  Could be done in a separate change
anyway.  I guess since we are at it it might be worth to check for as
much as we can, even if it's not going to affect the logic.

I would prefer a separate change iff you want to implement this.

Oh, OK, so that explains the weird 0xff mode.

Thanks, Roger.
