KVM: x86: Harden _regs accesses to guard against buggy input
WARN and truncate the incoming GPR number/index when reading/writing GPRs
in the emulator to guard against KVM bugs, e.g. to avoid out-of-bounds
accesses to ctxt->_regs[] if KVM generates a bogus index. Truncate the
index instead of returning e.g. zero, as reg_write() returns a pointer
to the register, i.e. returning zero would result in a NULL pointer
dereference. KVM could also force the index to any arbitrary GPR, but
that's no better or worse, just different.
Open code the restriction to 16 registers; RIP is handled via _eip and
should never be accessed through reg_read() or reg_write(). See the
comments above the declarations of reg_read() and reg_write(), and the
behavior of writeback_registers(). The horrific open coded mess will be
cleaned up in a future commit.
There are no such bugs known to exist in the emulator, but determining
that KVM is bug-free is not at all simple and requires a deep dive into
the emulator. The code is so convoluted that GCC-12 with the recently
enable -Warray-bounds spits out a false-positive due to a GCC bug:
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c:254:27: warning: array subscript 32 is above array
bounds of 'long unsigned int[17]' [-Warray-bounds]
254 | return ctxt->_regs[nr];
