Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] KVM: Introduce vcpu->wants_to_run

From: David Matlack <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 3 May 2024 11:17:32 -0700

Introduce vcpu->wants_to_run to indicate when a vCPU is in its core run
loop, i.e. when the vCPU is running the KVM_RUN ioctl and immediate_exit
was not set.

Replace all references to vcpu->run->immediate_exit with
!vcpu->wants_to_run to avoid TOCTOU races with userspace. For example, a
malicious userspace could invoked KVM_RUN with immediate_exit=true and
then after KVM reads it to set wants_to_run=false, flip it to false.
This would result in the vCPU running in KVM_RUN with
wants_to_run=false. This wouldn't cause any real bugs today but is a
dangerous landmine.
