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"

KVM: x86: Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC to allow disabling in-kernel I/O APIC

Add a Kconfig to allow building KVM without support for emulating a I/O
APIC, PIC, and PIT, which is desirable for deployments that effectively
don't support a fully in-kernel IRQ chip, i.e. never expect any VMM to
create an in-kernel I/O APIC. E.g. compiling out support eliminates a few
thousand lines of guest-facing code and gives security folks warm fuzzies.

As a bonus, wrapping relevant paths with CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC #ifdefs makes
it much easier for readers to understand which bits and pieces exist
specifically for fully in-kernel IRQ chips.

Opportunistically convert all two in-kernel uses of __KVM_HAVE_IOAPIC to
CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC, e.g. rather than add a second #ifdef to generate a stub
for kvm_arch_post_irq_routing_update().

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"As far as x86 goes this pull request "only" includes TDX host support.

Quotes are appropriate because (at 6k lines and 100+ commits) it is
much bigger than the rest, which will come later this week and
consists mostly of bugfixes and selftests. s390 changes will also come
in the second batch.

ARM:

- Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests
when pKVM is enabled, clawing back some performance.

- Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it,
though it is disabled by default.

- Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE
and protected modes.

- Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
them with the effects of control bits. While this has no functional
impact, it ensures correctness of emulation (the data is
automatically extracted from the published JSON files), and helps
dealing with the evolution of the architecture.

- Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,
avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's
vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above.

- New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules

- Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests
even if the host didn't have it.

- Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be
rather buggy in some specific contexts.

- Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N
from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a
number of issues in the process.

- Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a
guest.

- Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the
kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly
bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW.

- Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers
from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2
are heavily synchronised.

- Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS
tables in a human-friendly fashion.

- and the usual random cleanups.

LoongArch:

- Don't flush tlb if the host supports hardware page table walks.

- Add KVM selftests support.

RISC-V:

- Add vector registers to get-reg-list selftest

- VCPU reset related improvements

- Remove scounteren initialization from VCPU reset

- Support VCPU reset from userspace using set_mpstate() ioctl

x86:

- Initial support for TDX in KVM.

This finally makes it possible to use the TDX module to run
confidential guests on Intel processors. This is quite a large
series, including support for private page tables (managed by the
TDX module and mirrored in KVM for efficiency), forwarding some
TDVMCALLs to userspace, and handling several special VM exits from
the TDX module.

This has been in the works for literally years and it's not really
possible to describe everything here, so I'll defer to the various
merge commits up to and including commit 7bcf7246c42a ('Merge

Merge branch 'kvm-tdx-initial' into HEAD

This large commit contains the initial support for TDX in KVM. All x86
parts enable the host-side hypercalls that KVM uses to talk to the TDX
module, a software component that runs in a special CPU mode called SEAM
(Secure Arbitration Mode).

The series is in turn split into multiple sub-series, each with a separate
merge commit:

- Initialization: basic setup for using the TDX module from KVM, plus
ioctls to create TDX VMs and vCPUs.

- MMU: in TDX, private and shared halves of the address space are mapped by
different EPT roots, and the private half is managed by the TDX module.
Using the support that was added to the generic MMU code in 6.14,
add support for TDX's secure page tables to the Intel side of KVM.
Generic KVM code takes care of maintaining a mirror of the secure page
tables so that they can be queried efficiently, and ensuring that changes
are applied to both the mirror and the secure EPT.

- vCPU enter/exit: implement the callbacks that handle the entry of a TDX
vCPU (via the SEAMCALL TDH.VP.ENTER) and the corresponding save/restore
of host state.

- Userspace exits: introduce support for guest TDVMCALLs that KVM forwards to
userspace. These correspond to the usual KVM_EXIT_* "heavyweight vmexits"
but are triggered through a different mechanism, similar to VMGEXIT for
SEV-ES and SEV-SNP.

- Interrupt handling: support for virtual interrupt injection as well as
handling VM-Exits that are caused by vectored events. Exclusive to
TDX are machine-check SMIs, which the kernel already knows how to
handle through the kernel machine check handler (commit 7911f145de5f,
"x86/mce: Implement recovery for errors in TDX/SEAM non-root mode")

- Loose ends: handling of the remaining exits from the TDX module, including
EPT violation/misconfig and several TDVMCALL leaves that are handled in
the kernel (CPUID, HLT, RDMSR/WRMSR, GetTdVmCallInfo); plus returning
an error or ignoring operations that are not supported by TDX guests

Merge branch 'kvm-tdx-initialization' into HEAD

This series kicks off the actual interaction of KVM with the TDX module.
This series encompasses the basic setup for using the TDX module from KVM,
and the creation of TD VMs and vCPUs.

The TDX Module is a software component that runs in a special CPU mode
called SEAM (Secure Arbitration Mode). Loading it is mostly handled
outside of KVM by the core kernel. Once it’s loaded KVM can interact with
the TDX Module via a new instruction called SEAMCALL to virtualize a TD
guests. This instruction can be used to make various types of seamcalls,
with names organized into a hierarchy. The format is TDH.[AREA].[ACTION],
where “TDH” stands for “Trust Domain Host”, and differentiates from
another set of calls that can be done by the guest “TDG”. The KVM relevant
areas of SEAMCALLs are:
SYS – TDX module management, static metadata reading.
MNG – TD management. VM scoped things that operate on a TDX module
controlled structure called the TDCS.
VP – vCPU management. vCPU scoped things that operate on TDX module
controlled structures called the TDVPS.
PHYMEM - Operations related to physical memory management (page
reclaiming, cache operations, etc).

This series introduces some TDX specific KVM APIs and stops short of
fully “finalizing” the creation of a TD VM. The part of initializing
a guest where initial private memory is loaded is left to a separate
MMU related series.

Before tearing down the private page tables, TDX requires the guest TD to
be destroyed by reclaiming the KeyID. Do it in the vm_pre_destroy() kvm_x86_ops
hook. The TDR control structures can be freed in the vm_destroy() hook,
which runs last.

KVM: VMX: Initialize TDX during KVM module load

Before KVM can use TDX to create and run TDX guests, TDX needs to be
initialized from two perspectives: 1) TDX module must be initialized
properly to a working state; 2) A per-cpu TDX initialization, a.k.a the
TDH.SYS.LP.INIT SEAMCALL must be done on any logical cpu before it can
run any other TDX SEAMCALLs.

The TDX host core-kernel provides two functions to do the above two
respectively: tdx_enable() and tdx_cpu_enable().

There are two options in terms of when to initialize TDX: initialize TDX
at KVM module loading time, or when creating the first TDX guest.

Choose to initialize TDX during KVM module loading time:

Initializing TDX module is both memory and CPU time consuming: 1) the
kernel needs to allocate a non-trivial size(~1/256) of system memory
as metadata used by TDX module to track each TDX-usable memory page's
status; 2) the TDX module needs to initialize this metadata, one entry
for each TDX-usable memory page.

Also, the kernel uses alloc_contig_pages() to allocate those metadata
chunks, because they are large and need to be physically contiguous.
alloc_contig_pages() can fail. If initializing TDX when creating the
first TDX guest, then there's chance that KVM won't be able to run any
TDX guests albeit KVM _declares_ to be able to support TDX.

This isn't good for the user.

On the other hand, initializing TDX at KVM module loading time can make
sure KVM is providing a consistent view of whether KVM can support TDX
to the user.

Always only try to initialize TDX after VMX has been initialized. TDX
is based on VMX, and if VMX fails to initialize then TDX is likely to be
broken anyway. Also, in practice, supporting TDX will require part of
VMX and common x86 infrastructure in working order, so TDX cannot be
enabled alone w/o VMX support.

There are two cases that can result in failure to initialize TDX: 1) TDX
cannot be supported (e.g., because of TDX is not supported or enabled by
hardware, or module is not loaded, or missing some dependency in KVM's
configuration); 2) Any unexpected error during TDX bring-up. For the
first case only mark TDX is disabled but still allow KVM module to be
loaded. For the second case just fail to load the KVM module so that
the user can be aware.

Because TDX costs additional memory, don't enable TDX by default. Add a
new module parameter 'enable_tdx' to allow the user to opt-in.

Note, the name tdx_init() has already been taken by the early boot code.
Use tdx_bringup() for initializing TDX (and tdx_cleanup() since KVM
doesn't actually teardown TDX). They don't match vt_init()/vt_exit(),
vmx_init()/vmx_exit() etc but it's not end of the world.

Also, once initialized, the TDX module cannot be disabled and enabled
again w/o the TDX module runtime update, which isn't supported by the
kernel. After TDX is enabled, nothing needs to be done when KVM
disables hardware virtualization, e.g., when offlining CPU, or during
suspend/resume. TDX host core-kernel code internally tracks TDX status
and can handle "multiple enabling" scenario.

Similar to KVM_AMD_SEV, add a new KVM_INTEL_TDX Kconfig to guide KVM TDX
code. Make it depend on INTEL_TDX_HOST but not replace INTEL_TDX_HOST
because in the longer term there's a use case that requires making
SEAMCALLs w/o KVM as mentioned by Dan [1].
