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

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"On top of a lot of Arm fixes, this includes a massive rename of types
and variables in tools/testing/selftests/kvm - these were
unnecessarily different from what the kernel uses, so they're being
made consistent.

arm64:

- Allow tracing for non-pKVM, which was accidentally disabled when
the series was merged

- Rationalise the way the pKVM hypercall ranges are defined by using
the same mechanism as already used for the vcpu_sysreg enum

- Enforce that SMCCC function numbers relayed by the pKVM proxy are
actually compliant with the specification

- Fix a couple of feature to idreg mappings which resulted in the
wrong sanitisation being applied

- Fix the GICD_IIDR revision number field that could never been
written correctly by userspace

- Make kvm_vcpu_initialized() correctly use its parameter instead of
relying on the surrounding context

- Enforce correct ordering in __pkvm_init_vcpu(), plugging a
potential pin leak at the same time

- Move __pkvm_init_finalise() to a less dangerous spot, avoiding
future problems

- Restore functional userspace irqchip support after a four year
breakage (last functional kernel was 5.18...)

- Spelling fixes

Selftests:

- Rename types across all KVM selftests to more closely align with
types used in the kernel:

vm_vaddr_t -> gva_t
vm_paddr_t -> gpa_t

uint64_t -> u64
uint32_t -> u32
uint16_t -> u16
uint8_t -> u8

int64_t -> s64
int32_t -> s32
int16_t -> s16
int8_t -> s8

- Fix Loongarch compilation"

Merge tag 'kvm-x86-selftests_kernel_types-7.1' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD

KVM selftests type renames for 7.1

Renames types across all KVM selftests to more closely align with types used
in the kernel:

vm_vaddr_t -> gva_t
vm_paddr_t -> gpa_t

uint64_t -> u64
uint32_t -> u32
uint16_t -> u16
uint8_t -> u8

int64_t -> s64
int32_t -> s32
int16_t -> s16
int8_t -> s8

Using the kernel's preferred types eliminates a source of friction for many
contributors, as the majority of KVM selftests contributions come from kernel
developers. The kernel names are also shorter, which allows for more concise
code, and in any many cases eliminates newlines thanks to shorter types and
parameter names.

Rename variables and parameters as well as types, e.g. gpa instead of paddr,
to again align with the kernel, and in a few cases to remove ambiguity, e.g.
where paddr is used to refer to a _host_ physical address.

stdint.h to get uint64_t from the libc headers, but the missing dependency
only rears its head once KVM uses u64 instead of uint64_t.

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"

KVM: selftests: Add a flag to identify AMD compatible test cases

Most of KVM x86 selftests for AMD are compatible with Hygon architecture
(but not all), add a flag "host_cpu_is_amd_compatible" to figure out
these cases.

Following test failures on Hygon platform can be fixed:

* Fix hypercall test: Hygon architecture also uses VMMCALL as guest
hypercall instruction.

* Following test failures due to access reserved memory address regions:
- access_tracking_perf_test
- demand_paging_test
- dirty_log_perf_test
- dirty_log_test
- kvm_page_table_test
- memslot_modification_stress_test
- pre_fault_memory_test
- x86/dirty_log_page_splitting_test

Hygon CSV also makes the "physical address space width reduction", the
reduced physical address bits are reported by bits 11:6 of
CPUID[0x8000001f].EBX as well, so the existed logic is totally
applicable for Hygon processors. Mapping memory into these regions and
accessing to them results in a #PF.

so I will wait for other dust to settle.

guest_memfd:

- Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory
for VM types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE
(which isn't precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's
SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have no way to detect private vs. shared).

This lays the groundwork for removal of guest memory from the
kernel direct map, as well as for limited mmap() for

ARM:

- Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM,
allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload.

- Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the
privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised
data.

- Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU
synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker.

- Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2
payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This
will hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups.

- Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use
of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing
to translate a stage-1 walk.

- Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring
feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform.

- Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug
in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at
least correct.

- Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and
give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then
allows a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host
migration.

- Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to
transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling
NV testing.

- Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE
fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.

LoongArch:

- Detect page table walk feature on new hardware

- Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation

- Improve in-kernel IPI emulation

- Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation

- Move kvm_iocsr tracepoint out of generic code

RISC-V:

- Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned delegation
and pointer masking PMLEN features

- Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension

- Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM

- Enabled more common KVM selftests for RISC-V

- Added SBI v3.0 PMU enhancements in KVM and perf driver

s390:

- Improve interrupt cpu for wakeup, in particular the heuristic to
decide which vCPU to deliver a floating interrupt to.

- Clear the PTE when discarding a swapped page because of CMMA; this
bug was introduced in 6.16 when refactoring gmap code.

x86 selftests:

- Add #DE coverage in the fastops test (the only exception that's
guest- triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions).

- Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR),
Sierra Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF).

- Minor cleanups and improvements

x86 (guest side):

- For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when
overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI
auto-mapping could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers
from mapping their devices with UC/UC-.

- Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its
export.

- Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated
vCPU=>pCPU bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.

Generic:

- Remove a redundant __GFP_NOWARN from kvm_setup_async_pf() as
__GFP_NOWARN is now included in GFP_NOWAIT.

selftests/kvm: remove stale TODO in xapic_state_test

The TODO about using the number of vCPUs instead of vcpu.id + 1
was already addressed by commit 376bc1b458c9 ("KVM: selftests: Don't
assume vcpu->id is '0' in xAPIC state test"). The comment is now
stale and can be removed.
