Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Arm:

- Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This
uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be
exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came
through the tracing tree

- Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM

- Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are
unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can
be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected
guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the
elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous
memory is also supported

This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet
isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it
promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST +
'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is
created. Caveat emptor

- Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state
immutable

- Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page
tables on a per-VM basis

- Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to
follow

- Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
to very bad HW lockups

- A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
cases

- Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
SMCCC calls

- The usual cleanups and other selftest churn

LoongArch:

- Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()

- Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support

RISC-V:

- Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks

- Fix vector context allocation leak

- Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()

- Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()

- Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()

- Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()

- Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging

- Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging

- Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core

- Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests

- Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources

- Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config

- Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources

- Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space

s390:

- Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors

- Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed
anymore with the new gmap code

- Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking
event address register)

x86:

- Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before
they were initialized

- Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting
hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in
the page table and thus write all bytes

- As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings
if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage

x86 generic:

- Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more
precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack
bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to
userspace

- Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it
easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier")

- Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of
VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O

- Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions

- Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one
of KVM's headers that is included multiple times

- Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
unintentionally crashing the VM

- Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec

- Misc hardening and cleanup changes

x86 (AMD):

- Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it
per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs

- Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which
KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple
CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should
usually be the same for all CPUs

- Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains
about a "too large" size based purely on user input

- Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION

- Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted
vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an
RMP violation page fault

- Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped
queries are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep.
Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for
the whole duration of a function or ioctl

- Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard()

- Play nicer with userspace that does not enable
KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6
as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the
payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example).
Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent,
but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths
where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6

- Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT
instead of vmcb02->save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a
save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2

- Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are
not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so
are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE

- Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly
initialized after save+restore

- Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks

- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields
on nested #VMEXIT

- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or
#GP for SVM-related instructions

- Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM)

- Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and
(hopefully) make the code easier to maintain

- Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard
against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined
features

- Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when
emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM
doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests

- Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails
instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double
down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP
for "unsupported" addresses)

- Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs

x86 (Intel):

- Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros

- Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
register input when appropriate

- Code cleanups

guest_memfd:

- Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't
support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage
to write back to

LoongArch selftests:

- Add KVM PMU test cases

s390 selftests:

- Enable more memory selftests

x86 selftests:

- Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests

- Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on
AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP

- Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test
for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd
folios against KVM's will"

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:

- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
translation and wired interrupts

- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface

- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on
hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally

- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on
systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to
perform cache maintenance on the address range

- Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the
guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take
traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor

- Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
implementation

- Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3
system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the
ONE_REG vCPU ioctls

- Various cleanups and minor fixes

LoongArch:

- Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip

- Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits

- Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation

- Various cleanups

RISC-V:

- Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking

- Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events

- Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode

- MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization

s390x

- Fixes

x86:

- Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O
APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time

- Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it
against bugs and runtime errors

- Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups
O(1) instead of O(n)

- For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has
access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO
pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives

- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are
more or less identical

- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps

- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
independently

- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the
vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting
the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every
possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard
and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid
state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until
KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed

- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling
interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured
VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF
cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and
resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration)
but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux
guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo

- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a
"secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone

- Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
doesn't use the list)

- Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local
APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side
code for Secure AVIC

- Various cleanups and fixes

x86 (Intel):

- Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests

- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support,
e.g. BTF

x86 (AMD):

- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel
if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which
is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never
happen, but still)

- Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code

- Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation

- Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry

- Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs

- Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
the vCPU

- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
the vCPU's CPUID model

- Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
KVM to care

- Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
maintenance

- When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
encrypted data

Generic:

- Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI

- Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
"void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
to understand

- Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
posted IRQs

- Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code

- Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
bindings are globally unique

- Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
related to private <=> shared memory conversions

- Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL

- Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
KVM in a tight loop indefinitely

- Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation

Selftests:

- Fix a comment typo

- Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
parameter not existing)

- Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
needs to be run with elevated permissions"

Merge tag 'kvmarm-6.17' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD

KVM/arm64 changes for 6.17, round #1

- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
translation and wired interrupts.

- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface.

- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on hardware
that previously advertised it unconditionally.

- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on systems
with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to perform cache
maintenance on the address range.

- Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the guest
hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take traps of
masked external aborts to the hypervisor.

- Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
implementation.

- Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3 system
registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the ONE_REG
vCPU ioctls.

- Various cleanups and minor fixes.
