KVM generic changes for 7.0
- Remove a subtle pseudo-overlay of kvm_stats_desc, which, aside from being
unnecessary and confusing, triggered compiler warnings due to
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end.
- Document that vcpu->mutex is take outside of kvm->slots_lock and
kvm->slots_arch_lock, which is intentional and desirable despite being
rather unintuitive.
KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU is provided by KVM's MMU notifiers, which are now always
available. Move the definition from individual architectures to common
code.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20
Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU
hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct
access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts
access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the
guest from profiling sensitive host state.
To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing
for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param). The Mediated PMU
is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing
setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that
may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to
profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot,
entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc.
Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated
PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and
thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster
emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on
a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from
within the guest:
Perf command:
a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions -a --overwrite
b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite
Guest performance overhead:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with |
| | | | event filters |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When establishing a "host access map", lookup the gfn in the vCPU specific
memslots, as the intent is that the mapping will be established for the
current vCPU context. Specifically, using __kvm_vcpu_map() in x86's SMM
context should create mappings based on the SMM memslots, not the non-SMM
memslots.
Luckily, the bug is benign as x86 is the only architecture with multiple
memslot address spaces, and all of x86's usage is limited to non-SMM. The
calls in (or reachable by) {svm,vmx}_enter_smm() are made before
enter_smm() sets HF_SMM_MASK, and the calls in {svm,vmx}_leave_smm() are
made after emulator_leave_smm() clears HF_SMM_MASK.
Note, kvm_vcpu_unmap() uses the vCPU specific memslots, only the map() side
of things is broken.

Remove KVM's internal pseudo-overlay of kvm_stats_desc, which subtly
aliases the flexible name[] in the uAPI definition with a fixed-size array
of the same name. The unusual embedded structure results in compiler
warnings due to -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end, and also necessitates an
extra level of dereferencing in KVM. To avoid the "overlay", define the
uAPI structure to have a fixed-size name when building for the kernel.
Opportunistically clean up the indentation for the stats macros, and
replace spaces with tabs.
No functional change intended.

KVM fixes for 6.19-rc1
- Add a missing "break" to fix param parsing in the rseq selftest.
- Apply runtime updates to the _current_ CPUID when userspace is setting
CPUID, e.g. as part of vCPU hotplug, to fix a false positive and to avoid
dropping the pending update.
- Disallow toggling KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD on an existing memslot, as it's not
supported by KVM and leads to a use-after-free due to KVM failing to unbind
the memslot from the previously-associated guest_memfd instance.
- Harden against similar KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD goofs, and prepare for supporting
flags-only changes on KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD memlslots, e.g. for dirty logging.
- Set exit_code[63:32] to -1 (all 0xffs) when synthesizing a nested
SVM_EXIT_ERR (a.k.a. VMEXIT_INVALID) #VMEXIT, as VMEXIT_INVALID is defined
as -1ull (a 64-bit value).
- Update SVI when activating APICv to fix a bug where a post-activation EOI
for an in-service IRQ would effective be lost due to SVI being stale.
- Immediately refresh APICv controls (if necessary) on a nested VM-Exit
instead of deferring the update via KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE, as the request is
effectively ignored because KVM thinks the vCPU already has the correct
APICv settings.
Wire up system vector 0xf5 for handling PMIs (i.e. interrupts delivered
through the LVTPC) while running KVM guests with a mediated PMU. Perf
currently delivers all PMIs as NMIs, e.g. so that events that trigger while
IRQs are disabled aren't delayed and generate useless records, but due to
the multiplexing of NMIs throughout the system, correctly identifying NMIs
for a mediated PMU is practically infeasible.
To (greatly) simplify identifying guest mediated PMU PMIs, perf will
switch the CPU's LVTPC between PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR and NMI when
guest PMU context is loaded/put. I.e. PMIs that are generated by the CPU
while the guest is active will be identified purely based on the IRQ
vector.
Route the vector through perf, e.g. as opposed to letting KVM attach a
handler directly a la posted interrupt notification vectors, as perf owns
the LVTPC and thus is the rightful owner of PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR.
Functionally, having KVM directly own the vector would be fine (both KVM
and perf will be completely aware of when a mediated PMU is active), but
would lead to an undesirable split in ownership: perf would be responsible
for installing the vector, but not handling the resulting IRQs.
Add a new perf_guest_info_callbacks hook (and static call) to allow KVM to
register its handler with perf when running guests with mediated PMUs.
Note, because KVM always runs guests with host IRQs enabled, there is no
danger of a PMI being delayed from the guest's perspective due to using a
regular IRQ instead of an NMI.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts
(SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a
non-fatal manner
- Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers
in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
one that acked the IRQ
- Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
table walkers and shadow MMU
- Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long
need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM
- Minor fixes to KVM and selftests
Loongarch:
- Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register
- Add AVEC basic support
- Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC
- Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests
RISC/V:
- SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest
- Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file
- Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
in small chunks
- Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions
- Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores
s390:
- Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits
(and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was
introduced by z114/z196 in 2010
- VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support
- Operation exception forwarding support
- Cleanups
x86:
- Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO
SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to
zap
- Relocate a misplaced export
- Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue
when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when
handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM
- Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown,
keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the
MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the
CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down
- Use the checked version of {get,put}_user()
- Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for
periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host
- Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections
- Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the
latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS
- Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast
path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to
paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been
fixed
- Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with
emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with
large multi-byte instructions
x86 (AMD):
- Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs
- Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation
- Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode
- Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking
intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
on VMRUN and #VMEXIT
- Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting
a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the
VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3
- Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits
to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that
don't require any actual support from KVM
x86 (Intel):
- Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of
the current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to
pave the way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT
flushes on pCPU migration if the root is clean from a previous
flush
- Add a few missing nested consistency checks
- Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware
as the functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer
useful in general; replace it with an off-by-default module param
to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's
SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter
- Misc cleanups
- Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting
on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention
in the TDX-Module; KVM was either working around these in weird,
ugly ways, or was simply oblivious to them (though even Yan's
devilish selftests could only break individual VMs, not the host
kernel)
- Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a
TDX vCPU, if creating said vCPU failed partway through
- Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL)
- Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace
- Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR
values if the TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber
host MSRs as expected
Selftests:
- Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU
system/VM
- Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with
specifying ARCH=x86_64 on the command line
- Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well
- Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test
to verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using
5-level paging, but L2 is not
- Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core
logic for nested EPT and nested NPT
guest_memfd:
- Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety
of rough edges in guest_memfd along the way
- Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a
guest_memfd from a memslot to make it harder to leak references
- Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug
selftests like those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where
test and/or KVM bugs often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors
- Misc cleanups
Generic:
- Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU
workqueue for irqfd cleanup
- Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation
- Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to
kvm_vcpu_on_spin(); the function was always starting from the first
vCPU instead of continuing the round-robin search"

Add two separate WARNs, once to yell if a guest_memfd memslot is moved

Reject attempts to disable KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD on a memslot that was
initially created with a guest_memfd binding, as KVM doesn't support
toggling KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD on existing memslots. KVM prevents enabling
KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD, but doesn't prevent clearing the flag.
Failure to reject the new memslot results in a use-after-free due to KVM
not unbinding from the guest_memfd instance. Unbinding on a FLAGS_ONLY
change is easy enough, and can/will be done as a hardening measure (in
anticipation of KVM supporting dirty logging on guest_memfd at some point),
but fixing the use-after-free would only address the immediate symptom.

In kvm_vcpu_on_spin(), the loop counter 'i' is incorrectly written to
last_boosted_vcpu instead of the actual vCPU index 'idx'. This causes
last_boosted_vcpu to store the loop iteration count rather than the
vCPU index, leading to incorrect round-robin behavior in subsequent
directed yield operations.
Fix this by using 'idx' instead of 'i' in the assignment.

Rename the "async" ioctl API to "unlocked" so that upcoming usage in x86's
TDX code doesn't result in a massive misnomer. To avoid having to retry
SEAMCALLs, TDX needs to acquire kvm->lock *and* all vcpu->mutex locks, and
acquiring all of those locks after/inside the current vCPU's mutex is a
non-starter. However, TDX also needs to acquire the vCPU's mutex and load
the vCPU, i.e. the handling is very much not async to the vCPU.

Hypervisors invoke resume_user_mode_work() before entering the guest, which
clears TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. The @regs argument is NULL as there is no user
space context available to them, so the rseq notify handler skips
inspecting the critical section, but updates the CPU/MM CID values
unconditionally so that the eventual pending rseq event is not lost on the
way to user space.
This is a pointless exercise as the task might be rescheduled before
actually returning to user space and it creates unnecessary work in the
vcpu_run() loops.
It's way more efficient to ignore that invocation based on @regs == NULL
and let the hypervisors re-raise TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME after returning from the
vcpu_run() loop before returning from the ioctl().
This ensures that a pending RSEQ update is not lost and the IDs are updated
before returning to user space.
Once the RSEQ handling is decoupled from TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, this turns into
a NOOP.

guest_memfd's inode represents memory the guest_memfd is
providing. guest_memfd's file represents a struct kvm's view of that
memory.
Using a custom inode allows customization of the inode teardown
process via callbacks. For example, ->evict_inode() allows
customization of the truncation process on file close, and
->destroy_inode() and ->free_inode() allow customization of the inode
freeing process.
Customizing the truncation process allows flexibility in management of
guest_memfd memory and customization of the inode freeing process
allows proper cleanup of memory metadata stored on the inode.
Memory metadata is more appropriately stored on the inode (as opposed
to the file), since the metadata is for the memory and is not unique
to a specific binding and struct kvm.

Allow mmap() on guest_memfd instances for x86 VMs with private memory as
the need to track private vs. shared state in the guest_memfd instance is
only pertinent to INIT_SHARED. Doing mmap() on private memory isn't
terrible useful (yet!), but it's now possible, and will be desirable when
guest_memfd gains support for other VMA-based syscalls, e.g. mbind() to
set NUMA policy.
Lift the restriction now, before MMAP support is officially released, so
that KVM doesn't need to add another capability to enumerate support for
mmap() on private memory.

Add a guest_memfd flag to allow userspace to state that the underlying
memory should be configured to be initialized as shared, and reject user
page faults if the guest_memfd instance's memory isn't shared. Because
KVM doesn't yet support in-place private<=>shared conversions, all
guest_memfd memory effectively follows the initial state.
Alternatively, KVM could deduce the initial state based on MMAP, which for
all intents and purposes is what KVM currently does. However, implicitly
deriving the default state based on MMAP will result in a messy ABI when
support for in-place conversions is added.
For x86 CoCo VMs, which don't yet support MMAP, memory is currently private
by default (otherwise the memory would be unusable). If MMAP implies
memory is shared by default, then the default state for CoCo VMs will vary
based on MMAP, and from userspace's perspective, will change when in-place
conversion support is added. I.e. to maintain guest<=>host ABI, userspace
would need to immediately convert all memory from shared=>private, which
is both ugly and inefficient. The inefficiency could be avoided by adding
a flag to state that memory is _private_ by default, irrespective of MMAP,
but that would lead to an equally messy and hard to document ABI.
Bite the bullet and immediately add a flag to control the default state so
that the effective behavior is explicit and straightforward.

With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-

Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external

VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).

for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.18
- Recover possible NX huge pages within the TDP MMU under read lock to
reduce guest jitter when restoring NX huge pages.
- Return -EAGAIN during prefault if userspace concurrently deletes/moves the
relevant memslot to fix an issue where prefaulting could deadlock with the
memslot update.
- Don't retry in TDX's anti-zero-step mitigation if the target memslot is
invalid, i.e. is being deleted or moved, to fix a deadlock scenario similar
to the aforementioned prefaulting case.
KVM/arm64 updates for 6.18
- 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.
Device MMIO registration may happen quite frequently during VM boot,
and the SRCU synchronization each time has a measurable effect
on VM startup time. In our experiments it can account for around 25%
of a VM's startup time.

Subsequent patches in this series will add guest_memfd support for

Renaming the Kconfig option to CONFIG_KVM_GUEST_MEMFD more accurately
reflects its broader scope as the main Kconfig option for all
guest_memfd-backed memory. This provides clearer semantics for the
option and avoids confusion as new features are introduced.

KVM Dirty Ring changes for 6.17
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. Clean up code and comments along the way.
KVM generic changes for 6.17
- 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.
Cap the number of ring entries that are reset in a single ioctl to INT_MAX
to ensure userspace isn't confused by a wrap into negative space, and so
that, in a truly pathological scenario, KVM doesn't miss a TLB flush due
to the count wrapping to zero. While the size of the ring is fixed at
0x10000 entries and KVM (currently) supports at most 4096, userspace is
allowed to harvest entries from the ring while the reset is in-progress,
i.e. it's possible for the ring to always have harvested entries.
Opportunistically return an actual error code from the helper so that a
future fix to handle pending signals can gracefully return -EINTR. Drop
the function comment now that the return code is a stanard 0/-errno (and
because a future commit will add a proper lockdep assertion).
Opportunistically drop a similarly stale comment for kvm_dirty_ring_push().

Introduce new mutex locking functions mutex_trylock_nest_lock() and
mutex_lock_killable_nest_lock() and use them to clean up locking
of all vCPUs for a VM.
For x86, this removes some complex code that was used instead
of lockdep's "nest_lock" feature.
For ARM and RISC-V, this removes a lockdep warning when the VM is
configured to have more than MAX_LOCK_DEPTH vCPUs, and removes a fair
amount of duplicate code by sharing the logic across all architectures.
Signed-off-by: Paolo BOnzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
In a few cases, usually in the initialization code, KVM locks all vCPUs
of a VM to ensure that userspace doesn't do funny things while KVM performs
an operation that affects the whole VM.
Until now, all these operations were implemented using custom code,
and all of them share the same problem:
Lockdep can't cope with simultaneous locking of a large number of locks of
the same class.
However if these locks are taken while another lock is already held,
which is luckily the case, it is possible to take advantage of little known
_nest_lock feature of lockdep which allows in this case to have an
unlimited number of locks of same class to be taken.
To implement this, create two functions:
kvm_lock_all_vcpus() and kvm_trylock_all_vcpus()
Both functions are needed because some code that will be replaced in
the subsequent patches, uses mutex_trylock, instead of regular mutex_lock.

KVM SVM changes for 6.16:
- Wait for target vCPU to acknowledge KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE to
fix a race between AP destroy and VMRUN.
- Decrypt and dump the VMSA in dump_vmcb() if debugging enabled for the VM.
- Add support for ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES.
- Add #VMGEXIT to the set of handlers special cased for CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y.
- Treat DEBUGCTL[5:2] as reserved to pave the way for virtualizing features
that utilize those bits.
- Don't account temporary allocations in sev_send_update_data().
- Add support for KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT on SVM, via Bus Lock Threshold.
An AP destroy request for a target vCPU is typically followed by an
RMPADJUST to remove the VMSA attribute from the page currently being
used as the VMSA for the target vCPU. This can result in a vCPU that
is about to VMRUN to exit with #VMEXIT_INVALID.
This usually does not happen as APs are typically sitting in HLT when
being destroyed and therefore the vCPU thread is not running at the time.
However, if HLT is allowed inside the VM, then the vCPU could be about to
VMRUN when the VMSA attribute is removed from the VMSA page, resulting in
a #VMEXIT_INVALID when the vCPU actually issues the VMRUN and causing the
guest to crash. An RMPADJUST against an in-use (already running) VMSA
results in a #NPF for the vCPU issuing the RMPADJUST, so the VMSA
attribute cannot be changed until the VMRUN for target vCPU exits. The
Qemu command line option '-overcommit cpu-pm=on' is an example of allowing
HLT inside the guest.
Update the KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event to include the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag. The kvm_vcpu_kick() function will not wait for
requests to be honored, so create kvm_make_request_and_kick() that will
add a new event request and honor the KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag. This will
ensure that the target vCPU sees the AP destroy request before returning
to the initiating vCPU should the target vCPU be in guest mode.

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 7911f145de,
"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

- Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace
- Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers
- Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU
implementations where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue
of guest CPU errata awareness in big-little systems and
cross-implementation VM migration
- Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation
- pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat
- Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events
LoongArch:
- Remove unnecessary header include path
- Assume constant PGD during VM context switch
- Add perf events support for guest VM
RISC-V:
- Disable the kernel perf counter during configure
- KVM selftests improvements for PMU
- Fix warning at the time of KVM module removal
x86:
- Add support for aging of SPTEs without holding mmu_lock.
Not taking mmu_lock allows multiple aging actions to run in
parallel, and more importantly avoids stalling vCPUs. This includes
an implementation of per-rmap-entry locking; aging the gfn is done
with only a per-rmap single-bin spinlock taken, whereas locking an
rmap for write requires taking both the per-rmap spinlock and the
mmu_lock.
Note that this decreases slightly the accuracy of accessed-page
information, because changes to the SPTE outside aging might not
use atomic operations even if they could race against a clear of
the Accessed bit.
This is deliberate because KVM and mm/ tolerate false
positives/negatives for accessed information, and testing has shown
that reducing the latency of aging is far more beneficial to
overall system performance than providing "perfect" young/old
information.
- Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction,
to coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are
changing, e.g. as part of a nested transition
- Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for
synthesizing nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting
#UD into L2)
- Drop "support" for async page faults for protected guests that do
not set SEND_ALWAYS (i.e. that only want async page faults at CPL3)
- Bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has
accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. Particularly, destroy
vCPUs before the MMU, despite the latter being a VM-wide operation
- Add common secure TSC infrastructure for use within SNP and in the
future TDX
- Block KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS if guest state is protected. It does not
make sense to use the capability if the relevant registers are not
available for reading or writing
- Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend
notifier to fix a largely theoretical deadlock
- Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the
Xen timer, as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus
- Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across
different PV clocks; restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as
KVM's suspend notifier only accounts for kvmclock, and there's no
evidence that the flag is actually supported by Xen guests
- Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead
only track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which
is moderately expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern
setups)
- Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are
initiated by the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs
where KVM can write to guest memory at unexpected times, e.g.
during vCPU creation if userspace has set the Xen hypercall MSR
index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates
- Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR index to the unofficial synthetic
range to reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are
emulated by KVM (collisions can still happen as KVM emulates
Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside in the synthetic range)
- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and
xen_hvm_config
- Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying
the CPUID entries when updating PV clocks; there is no guarantee PV
clocks will be updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID
emulation, and guest reads of the TSC leaves should be rare, i.e.
are not a hot path
x86 (Intel):
- Fix a bug where KVM unnecessarily reads XFD_ERR from hardware and
thus modifies the vCPU's XFD_ERR on a #NM due to CR0.TS=1
- Pass XFD_ERR as the payload when injecting #NM, as a preparatory
step for upcoming FRED virtualization support
- Decouple the EPT entry RWX protection bit macros from the EPT
Violation bits, both as a general cleanup and in anticipation of
adding support for emulating Mode-Based Execution Control (MBEC)
- Reject KVM_RUN if userspace manages to gain control and stuff
invalid guest state while KVM is in the middle of emulating nested
VM-Enter
- Add a macro to handle KVM's sanity checks on entry/exit VMCS
control pairs in anticipation of adding sanity checks for secondary
exit controls (the primary field is out of bits)
x86 (AMD):
- Ensure the PSP driver is initialized when both the PSP and KVM
modules are built-in (the initcall framework doesn't handle
dependencies)
- Use long-term pins when registering encrypted memory regions, so
that the pages are migrated out of MIGRATE_CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE and
don't lead to excessive fragmentation
- Add macros and helpers for setting GHCB return/error codes
- Add support for Idle HLT interception, which elides interception if
the vCPU has a pending, unmasked virtual IRQ when HLT is executed
- Fix a bug in INVPCID emulation where KVM fails to check for a
non-canonical address
- Don't attempt VMRUN for SEV-ES+ guests if the vCPU's VMSA is
invalid, e.g. because the vCPU was "destroyed" via SNP's AP
Creation hypercall
- Reject SNP AP Creation if the requested SEV features for the vCPU
don't match the VM's configured set of features
Selftests:
- Fix again the Intel PMU counters test; add a data load and do
CLFLUSH{OPT} on the data instead of executing code. The theory is
that modern Intel CPUs have learned new code prefetching tricks
that bypass the PMU counters
- Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that an
event is counting correctly without actually knowing what the event
counts on the underlying hardware
- Fix a variety of flaws, bugs, and false failures/passes
dirty_log_test, and improve its coverage by collecting all dirty
entries on each iteration
- Fix a few minor bugs related to handling of stats FDs
- Add infrastructure to make vCPU and VM stats FDs available to tests
by default (open the FDs during VM/vCPU creation)
- Relax an assertion on the number of HLT exits in the xAPIC IPI test
when running on a CPU that supports AMD's Idle HLT (which elides
interception of HLT if a virtual IRQ is pending and unmasked)"

The immediate issue being fixed here is a nVMX bug where KVM fails to
detect that, after nested VM-Exit, L1 has a pending IRQ (or NMI).
However, checking for a pending interrupt accesses the legacy PIC, and
x86's kvm_arch_destroy_vm() currently frees the PIC before destroying
vCPUs, i.e. checking for IRQs during the forced nested VM-Exit results
in a NULL pointer deref; that's a prerequisite for the nVMX fix.
The remaining patches attempt to bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM
teardown code, which has accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. E.g.
KVM currently unloads each vCPU's MMUs in a separate operation from
destroying vCPUs, all because when guest SMP support was added, KVM had a
kludgy MMU teardown flow that broke when a VM had more than one 1 vCPU.
And that oddity lived on, for 18 years...
