Bluepill is an Intel type-2 research hypervisor. This project is purely for educational purposes and is designed to run on Windows 10 systems. Bluepill is an Intel type-2 research hypervisor. This project is purely for educational purposes and is designed to run on Windows 10 systems.
This project uses WDK and thus Windows Kernel functions to facilitate vmxlaunch. This project uses WDK and thus Windows Kernel functions to facilitate vmxlaunch.
##### Features
* Integration with VDM...
* Hypervisor has its own GDT, TSS, IDT, and address space...
* Read/Write Virtual memory example...
* SEH in vmxroot handled by hypervisor interrupt handlers...
* SEH works reguardless if manually mapped or loaded normally...
### Why Write A Hypervisor?
Why write a type-2 (Intel or AMD) hypervisor? "To learn" is the typical response, but to learn what? To learn VMX instructions? To learn how to write a windows kernel driver? To learn how to use windbg? Although all of the prior reasons to write a hypervisor are important, learning how to read technical documents and extract what you need from the reading material is much more valuable than all of the other stuff one might learn while writing a hypervisor. This is best summed up as the old saying goes:
> “give a man a fish, he will feed himself for a day, teach a man to read the manual and he will make a hypervisor”

### Host State Information
Bluepill has its "own" GDT, TSS, IDT, and address space. However, in order to allow for windbg usage, some interrupt handlers
forward to guest controlled interrupt handlers such as #DB and interrupt handler three. The host GDT also contains a unique TR base (TSS), which contains three new interrupt stacks.
These stacks are used by bluepills interrupt routines. This is not required at all but I felt I should go the extra mile here and setup dedicated stacks for my interrupt handlers in the
off chance that RSP contains an invalid address when a page fault, division error, or general protection error happens.
#### GDT - Global Descriptor Table
The host GDT is 1:1 with the guest GDT except firstly, a different, host controlled page is used for each cores GDT. Secondly the TR segment base address is updated to reflect
the new TSS (which is also 1:1 with the guest TSS but on a new page).
```cpp
segment_descriptor_register_64 gdt_value;
_sgdt(&gdt_value);
// the GDT can be 65536 bytes large
// but on windows its less then a single page (4kb)
// ...
// also note each logical processor gets its own GDT...
memcpy(vcpu->gdt, (void*)gdt_value.base_address, PAGE_SIZE);
```
###### TSS - Task State Segment
The host TSS is 1:1 with the guest TSS except that there are additional interrupt stack table entries. When an exception happens and execution is redirected to an interrupt handler, the address
in RSP cannot ***always*** be trusted. Therefore, ***especially*** on privilege level changes, RSP will be changed with a predetermined valid stack (which is located in the TSS). However if an exception happens and there is no privilege change (say you have an exception in ring-0),
RSP ***might not*** need to be changed as there is not a risk of privilege escalation. An OS (and type-2 hypervisor) designer can determine how they want RSP to be handled by the CPU by configuring interrupt descriptor table entries accordingly.
In an interrupt descriptor table entry there is a bit field for interrupt stack table index.
```cpp
typedef struct _tss64
{
u32 reserved;
// if you dont use an IST entry and there is a privilage change,
// rsp will be swapped with an address in this array...
u64 privilege_stacks[3];
u64 reserved_1;
u64 interrupt_stack_table[7];
u16 reserved_2;
u16 iomap_base;
} tss64, *ptss64;
typedef union _idt_entry_t
{
u128 flags;
struct
{
u64 offset_low : 16;
u64 segment_selector : 16;
// if this is zero IST isnt used, if there is no privilage change then RSP wont be changed at all,
// and if there is a privilage change then RSP is swapped with an address in the TSS (rsp0).
u64 ist_index : 3;
u64 reserved_0 : 5;
u64 gate_type : 5;
u64 dpl : 2;
u64 present : 1;
u64 offset_middle : 16;
u64 offset_high : 32;
u64 reserved_1 : 32;
};
} idt_entry_t, * pidt_entry_t;
```
###### IST - Interrupt Stack Table
This interrupt stack table is located inside of the TSS. Bluepill interrupt routines have their own stack, this is the only change done to the TSS. IST entries zero through three are used by windows interrupt routines and entries four through six are used by Bluepill.
```cpp
// host page fault interrupt stack...
vcpu->tss.interrupt_stack_table[idt::ist_idx::pf] =
reinterpret_cast<u64>(ExAllocatePool(NonPagedPool,
PAGE_SIZE * HOST_STACK_PAGES)) + (PAGE_SIZE * HOST_STACK_PAGES);
// host general protection interrupt stack...
vcpu->tss.interrupt_stack_table[idt::ist_idx::gp] =
reinterpret_cast<u64>(ExAllocatePool(NonPagedPool,
PAGE_SIZE * HOST_STACK_PAGES)) + (PAGE_SIZE * HOST_STACK_PAGES);
// host division error interrupt stack...
vcpu->tss.interrupt_stack_table[idt::ist_idx::de] =
reinterpret_cast<u64>(ExAllocatePool(NonPagedPool,
PAGE_SIZE * HOST_STACK_PAGES)) + (PAGE_SIZE * HOST_STACK_PAGES);
```
#### IDT - Interrupt Descriptor Table
The host IDT is 1:1 to the guest IDT except for three interrupt handlers, #PF, #DE, and #GP. These three different interrupt handlers all route to the same SEH handler function
which just changes RIP to the catch block of whatever try/except the exception happened in. This allows for page faults, general protection faults and division errors to not be handled
by guest controlled interrupt handlers.
```cpp
// setup IDT for host....
segment_descriptor_register_64 idt_value;
__sidt(&idt_value);
// copy the guest IDT entries...
memcpy(idt::table, (void*)idt_value.base_address, idt_value.limit);
// change gp, pf, and de to vmxroot handlers...
idt::table[general_protection] = idt::create_entry(hv::idt_addr_t{ __gp_handler }, idt::ist_idx::gp);
idt::table[page_fault] = idt::create_entry(hv::idt_addr_t{ __pf_handler }, idt::ist_idx::pf);
idt::table[divide_error] = idt::create_entry(hv::idt_addr_t{ __de_handler }, idt::ist_idx::de);
```
