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.
If an APICv status updated was pended while L2 was active, immediately
refresh vmcs01's controls instead of pending KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE as
kvm_vcpu_update_apicv() only calls into vendor code if a change is
necessary.
E.g. if APICv is inhibited, and then activated while L2 is running:
kvm_vcpu_update_apicv()
|
-> __kvm_vcpu_update_apicv()
|
-> apic->apicv_active = true
|
-> vmx_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl()
|
-> vmx->nested.update_vmcs01_apicv_status = true
|
-> return
Then L2 exits to L1:
__nested_vmx_vmexit()
|
-> kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE)
vcpu_enter_guest(): KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE
-> kvm_vcpu_update_apicv()
|
-> __kvm_vcpu_update_apicv()
|
-> return // because if (apic->apicv_active == activate)

KVM VMX changes for 6.19:
- 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 so that KVM can elide EPT flushes on
pCPU migration if KVM has flushed the root at least once.
- 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,
and replace it with an off-by-default module param to detected missed
consistency checks (i.e. WARN if hardware finds a check that KVM does not).
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
on VM-Enter.
- Misc cleanups.
KVM x86 misc changes for 6.19:
- 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.
- 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.
- Leave the user-return notifier used to restore MSRs registered when
disabling virtualization, and instead pin kvm.ko. Restoring host MSRs via
IPI callback is either pointless (clean reboot) or dangerous (forced reboot)
since KVM has no idea what code it's interrupting.
- Use the checked version of {get,put}_user(), as Linus wants to kill them
off, and they're measurably faster on modern CPUs due to the unchecked
versions containing an LFENCE.
- 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 NPT 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 fastpath as
the only reason they were handled in the faspath was to paper of a bug in
the core #MC code that has long since been fixed.
- Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions to play nice with emulated
devices whose PCI BARs guest drivers like to access with large multi-byte
instructions.
Currently the tracking of the need to flush L1D for L1TF is tracked by
two bits: one per-CPU and one per-vCPU.
The per-vCPU bit is always set when the vCPU shows up on a core, so
there is no interesting state that's truly per-vCPU. Indeed, this is a
requirement, since L1D is a part of the physical CPU.
So simplify this by combining the two bits.
The vCPU bit was being written from preemption-enabled regions. To play
nice with those cases, wrap all calls from KVM and use a raw write so that
request a flush with preemption enabled doesn't trigger what would
effectively be DEBUG_PREEMPT false positives. Preemption doesn't need to
be disabled, as kvm_arch_vcpu_load() will mark the new CPU as needing a
flush if the vCPU task is migrated, or if userspace runs the vCPU on a
different task.

Add VMX exit handlers for SEAMCALL and TDCALL to inject a #UD if a non-TD
guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL or TDCALL. Neither SEAMCALL nor TDCALL
is gated by any software enablement other than VMXON, and so will generate
a VM-Exit instead of e.g. a native #UD when executed from the guest kernel.
Note! No unprivileged DoS of the L1 kernel is possible as TDCALL and
SEAMCALL #GP at CPL > 0, and the CPL check is performed prior to the VMX
non-root (VM-Exit) check, i.e. userspace can't crash the VM. And for a
nested guest, KVM forwards unknown exits to L1, i.e. an L2 kernel can
crash itself, but not L1.
Note #2! The Intel® Trust Domain CPU Architectural Extensions spec's
pseudocode shows the CPL > 0 check for SEAMCALL coming _after_ the VM-Exit,
but that appears to be a documentation bug (likely because the CPL > 0
check was incorrectly bundled with other lower-priority #GP checks).
Testing on SPR and EMR shows that the CPL > 0 check is performed before
the VMX non-root check, i.e. SEAMCALL #GPs when executed in usermode.
Note #3! The aforementioned Trust Domain spec uses confusing pseudocode
that says that SEAMCALL will #UD if executed "inSEAM", but "inSEAM"
specifically means in SEAM Root Mode, i.e. in the TDX-Module. The long-
form description explicitly states that SEAMCALL generates an exit when
executed in "SEAM VMX non-root operation". But that's a moot point as the
TDX-Module injects #UD if the guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL, as
documented in the "Unconditionally Blocked Instructions" section of the
TDX-Module base specification.

Add an off-by-default param, "warn_on_missed_cc", to have KVM WARN on a
missed VMX Consistency Check on nested VM-Enter, specifically so that KVM
developers and maintainers can more easily detect missing checks. KVM's
goal/intent is that KVM detect *all* VM-Fail conditions in software, as
relying on hardware leads to false passes when KVM's nested support is a
subset of hardware support, e.g. see commit 095686e6fc ("KVM: nVMX:
Check vmcs12->guest_ia32_debugctl on nested VM-Enter").
With one notable exception, KVM now detects all VM-Fail scenarios for
which there is known test coverage, i.e. KVM developers can enable the
param and expect a clean run, and thus can use the param to detect missed
checks, e.g. when enabling new features, when writing new tests, etc.
The one exception is an unfortunate consistency check on vTPR. Because
the vTPR for L2 comes from the virtual APIC page provided by L1, L2's vTPR
is fully writable at all times, i.e. is inherently subject to TOCTOU
issues with respect to checks in software versus consumption in hardware.
Further complicating matters is KVM's deferred handling of vmcs12 pages
when loading nested state; KVM flat out cannot check vTPR during
KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE without breaking setups that do on-demand paging,
e.g. for live migration and/or live update.
To fudge around the vTPR issue, add a "late" controls check for vTPR and
also treat an invalid virtual APIC as VM-Fail, but gate the check on
warn_on_missed_cc being enabled to avoid unwanted false positives, i.e. to
avoid breaking KVM in production.

Remove nested_early_check and all associated code, as it's quite obviously
not being used or tested (it's been broken for 4+ years without a single
bug report). More importantly, KVM's software-based consistency checks
have matured since the option to do hardware-based checks was added; KVM
appears to be missing only _one_ consistency check, on vTPR. And even
*more* importantly, that consistency check can't be prevented by an early
hardware check due to L1 being able to modify the virtual APIC at any
time, i.e. there's an inherent TOCTOU flaw that could cause KVM to "miss"
a consistency check VM-Fail, regardless of whether the check is performed
by software or by hardware.
In other words, KVM _must_ be able to unwind from a late VM-Fail (which
was a big motivation for doing early checks). I.e. now that KVM provides
(almost) all necessary consistency checks, what's really needed is a way
to detect missing checks in KVM, not a way to avoid having to unwind from
a late VM-Fail. And that can be done much more simply, e.g. by an simple
module param to guard a WARN (which, sadly, must be off-by-default to
avoid splats due to the aforementioned TOCTOU issue).
For all intents and purposes, this reverts commit 52017608da ("KVM:
nVMX: add option to perform early consistency checks via H/W").

If KVM is doing "early" nested VM-Enter consistency checks and TSC scaling
is supported, stuff vmcs02's TSC Multiplier early on to avoid getting a
false positive VM-Fail due to trying to do VM-Enter with TSC_MULTIPLIER=0.
To minimize complexity around L1 vs. L2 TSC, KVM sets the actual TSC
Multiplier rather late during VM-Entry, i.e. may have '0' at the time of
early consistency checks.
If vmcs12 has TSC Scaling enabled, use the multiplier from vmcs12 so that
nested early checks actually check vmcs12 state, otherwise throw in an
arbitrary value of '1' (anything non-zero is legal).

Hardcode the dummy EPTP used for "early" consistency checks as there's no
need to use 5-level EPT based on the guest.MAXPHYADDR (the EPTP just needs
to be valid, it's never truly consumed).
This will allow breaking construct_eptp()'s dependency on having access to
the vCPU, which in turn will (much further in the future) allow for eliding
per-root TLB flushes when a vCPU is migrated between pCPUs (a flush is
need if and only if that particular pCPU hasn't already flushed the vCPU's
roots).

Introduce consistency checks for CET states during nested VM-entry.
A VMCS contains both guest and host CET states, each comprising the
IA32_S_CET MSR, SSP, and IA32_INTERRUPT_SSP_TABLE_ADDR MSR. Various
checks are applied to CET states during VM-entry as documented in SDM
Vol3 Chapter "VM ENTRIES". Implement all these checks during nested
VM-entry to emulate the architectural behavior.
In summary, there are three kinds of checks on guest/host CET states
during VM-entry:
A. Checks applied to both guest states and host states:
* The IA32_S_CET field must not set any reserved bits; bits 10 (SUPPRESS)
and 11 (TRACKER) cannot both be set.
* SSP should not have bits 1:0 set.
* The IA32_INTERRUPT_SSP_TABLE_ADDR field must be canonical.
B. Checks applied to host states only
* IA32_S_CET MSR and SSP must be canonical if the CPU enters 64-bit mode
after VM-exit. Otherwise, IA32_S_CET and SSP must have their higher 32
bits cleared.
C. Checks applied to guest states only:
* IA32_S_CET MSR and SSP are not required to be canonical (i.e., 63:N-1
are identical, where N is the CPU's maximum linear-address width). But,
bits 63:N of SSP must be identical.

Unconditionally forward XSAVES/XRSTORS VM-Exits from L2 to L1, as KVM
doesn't utilize the XSS-bitmap (KVM relies on controlling the XSS value

loads vmcs02 with vmcs12's bitmap, and so any exit _must_ be due to
vmcs12's XSS-bitmap.
Drop the comment about XSS never being non-zero in anticipation of
enabling CET_KERNEL and CET_USER support.
Opportunistically WARN if XSAVES is not enabled for L2, as the CPU is
supposed to generate #UD before checking the XSS-bitmap.

Add support for the immediate forms of RDMSR and WRMSRNS (currently
Intel-only). The immediate variants are only valid in 64-bit mode, and
use a single general purpose register for the data (the register is also
encoded in the instruction, i.e. not implicit like regular RDMSR/WRMSR).
The immediate variants are primarily motivated by performance, not code
size: by having the MSR index in an immediate, it is available *much*
earlier in the CPU pipeline, which allows hardware much more leeway about
how a particular MSR is handled.
Intel VMX support for the immediate forms of MSR accesses communicates
exit information to the host as follows:
1) The immediate form of RDMSR uses VM-Exit Reason 84.
2) The immediate form of WRMSRNS uses VM-Exit Reason 85.
3) For both VM-Exit reasons 84 and 85, the Exit Qualification field is
set to the MSR index that triggered the VM-Exit.
4) Bits 3 ~ 6 of the VM-Exit Instruction Information field are set to
the register encoding used by the immediate form of the instruction,
i.e. the destination register for RDMSR, and the source for WRMSRNS.
5) The VM-Exit Instruction Length field records the size of the
immediate form of the MSR instruction.
To deal with userspace RDMSR exits, stash the destination register in a
new kvm_vcpu_arch field, similar to cui_linear_rip, pio, etc.
Alternatively, the register could be saved in kvm_run.msr or re-retrieved
from the VMCS, but the former would require sanitizing the value to ensure
userspace doesn't clobber the value to an out-of-bounds index, and the
latter would require a new one-off kvm_x86_ops hook.
Don't bother adding support for the instructions in KVM's emulator, as the
only way for RDMSR/WRMSR to be encountered is if KVM is emulating large
swaths of code due to invalid guest state, and a vCPU cannot have invalid
guest state while in 64-bit mode.

Allow a guest to read the physical IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSRs
without interception.
The IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSRs are not virtualized. Writes are not
handled at all. The MSR values are not zeroed on vCPU creation, saved
on suspend, or restored on resume. No accommodation is made for
processor migration or for sharing a logical processor with other
tasks. No adjustments are made for non-unit TSC multipliers. The MSRs
do not account for time the same way as the comparable PMU events,
whether the PMU is virtualized by the traditional emulation method or
the new mediated pass-through approach.
Nonetheless, in a properly constrained environment, this capability
can be combined with a guest CPUID table that advertises support for
CPUID.6:ECX.APERFMPERF[bit 0] to induce a Linux guest to report the
effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo. Moreover, there is
no performance cost for this capability.

Set/clear DEBUGCTLMSR_FREEZE_IN_SMM in GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL based on the
host's pre-VM-Enter value, i.e. preserve the host's FREEZE_IN_SMM setting
while running the guest. When running with the "default treatment of SMIs"
in effect (the only mode KVM supports), SMIs do not generate a VM-Exit that
is visible to host (non-SMM) software, and instead transitions directly
from VMX non-root to SMM. And critically, DEBUGCTL isn't context switched
by hardware on SMI or RSM, i.e. SMM will run with whatever value was
resident in hardware at the time of the SMI.
Failure to preserve FREEZE_IN_SMM results in the PMU unexpectedly counting
events while the CPU is executing in SMM, which can pollute profiling and
potentially leak information into the guest.
Check for changes in FREEZE_IN_SMM prior to every entry into KVM's inner
run loop, as the bit can be toggled in IRQ context via IPI callback (SMP
function call), by way of /sys/devices/cpu/freeze_on_smi.
Add a field in kvm_x86_ops to communicate which DEBUGCTL bits need to be
preserved, as FREEZE_IN_SMM is only supported and defined for Intel CPUs,
i.e. explicitly checking FREEZE_IN_SMM in common x86 is at best weird, and
at worst could lead to undesirable behavior in the future if AMD CPUs ever
happened to pick up a collision with the bit.
Exempt TDX vCPUs, i.e. protected guests, from the check, as the TDX Module
owns and controls GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL.
WARN in SVM if KVM_RUN_LOAD_DEBUGCTL is set, mostly to document that the
lack of handling isn't a KVM bug (TDX already WARNs on any run_flag).
Lastly, explicitly reload GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL on a VM-Fail that is missed
by KVM but detected by hardware, i.e. in nested_vmx_restore_host_state().
Doing so avoids the need to track host_debugctl on a per-VMCS basis, as
GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL is unconditionally written by prepare_vmcs02() and
load_vmcs12_host_state(). For the VM-Fail case, even though KVM won't
have actually entered the guest, vcpu_enter_guest() will have run with
vmcs02 active and thus could result in vmcs01 being run with a stale value.

Add a consistency check for L2's guest_ia32_debugctl, as KVM only supports
a subset of hardware functionality, i.e. KVM can't rely on hardware to
detect illegal/unsupported values. Failure to check the vmcs12 value
would allow the guest to load any harware-supported value while running L2.
Take care to exempt BTF and LBR from the validity check in order to match
KVM's behavior for writes via WRMSR, but without clobbering vmcs12. Even
if VM_EXIT_SAVE_DEBUG_CONTROLS is set in vmcs12, L1 can reasonably expect
that vmcs12->guest_ia32_debugctl will not be modified if writes to the MSR
are being intercepted.
Arguably, KVM _should_ update vmcs12 if VM_EXIT_SAVE_DEBUG_CONTROLS is set
*and* writes to MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR are not being intercepted by L1, but
that would incur non-trivial complexity and wouldn't change the fact that
KVM's handling of DEBUGCTL is blatantly broken. I.e. the extra complexity
is not worth carrying.

- Close another VGIC race where vCPU creation races with VGIC
creation, leading to in-flight vCPUs entering the kernel w/o
private IRQs allocated
- Fix a build issue triggered by the recently added workaround for
Ampere's AC04_CPU_23 erratum
- Correctly sign-extend the VA when emulating a TLBI instruction
potentially targeting a VNCR mapping
- Avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in the VGIC debug code, which
can happen if the device doesn't have any mapping yet
s390:
- Fix interaction between some filesystems and Secure Execution
- Some cleanups and refactorings, preparing for an upcoming big
series
x86:
- Wait for target vCPU to ack 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
- Refine and harden handling of spurious faults
- 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
- Unify virtualization of IBRS on nested VM-Exit, and cross-vCPU
IBPB, between SVM and VMX
- Advertise support to userspace for WRMSRNS and PREFETCHI
- Rescan I/O APIC routes after handling EOI that needed to be
intercepted due to the old/previous routing, but not the
new/current routing
- Add a module param to control and enumerate support for device
posted interrupts
- Fix a potential overflow with nested virt on Intel systems running
32-bit kernels
- Flush shadow VMCSes on emergency reboot
- Add support for SNP to the various SEV selftests
- Add a selftest to verify fastops instructions via forced emulation
- Refine and optimize KVM's software processing of the posted
interrupt bitmap, and share the harvesting code between KVM and the
kernel's Posted MSI handler"

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.

KVM VMX changes for 6.16:
- Explicitly check MSR load/store list counts to fix a potential overflow on
32-bit kernels.
- Flush shadow VMCSes on emergency reboot.
- Revert mem_enc_ioctl() back to an optional hook, as it's nullified when
SEV or TDX is disabled via Kconfig.
- Macrofy the handling of vt_x86_ops to eliminate a pile of boilerplate code
needed for TDX, and to optimize CONFIG_KVM_INTEL_TDX=n builds.
Both SVM and VMX have similar implementation for executing an IBPB
between running different vCPUs on the same CPU to create separate
prediction domains for different vCPUs.
For VMX, when the currently loaded VMCS is changed in
vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs(), an IBPB is executed if there is no 'buddy', which
is the case on vCPU load. The intention is to execute an IBPB when
switching vCPUs, but not when switching the VMCS within the same vCPU.
Executing an IBPB on nested transitions within the same vCPU is handled
separately and conditionally in nested_vmx_vmexit().
For SVM, the current VMCB is tracked on vCPU load and an IBPB is
executed when it is changed. The intention is also to execute an IBPB
when switching vCPUs, although it is possible that in some cases an IBBP
is executed when switching VMCBs for the same vCPU. Executing an IBPB on
nested transitions should be handled separately, and is proposed at [1].
Unify the logic by tracking the last loaded vCPU and execuintg the IBPB
on vCPU change in kvm_arch_vcpu_load() instead. When a vCPU is
destroyed, make sure all references to it are removed from any CPU. This
is similar to how SVM clears the current_vmcb tracking on vCPU
destruction. Remove the current VMCB tracking in SVM as it is no longer
required, as well as the 'buddy' parameter to vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs().

Explicitly verify the MSR load/store list counts are below the advertised
limit as part of the initial consistency checks on the lists, so that code
that consumes the count doesn't need to worry about extreme edge cases.
Enforcing the limit during the initial checks fixes a flaw on 32-bit KVM
where a sufficiently high @count could lead to overflow:
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c:834 nested_vmx_check_msr_switch()
warn: potential user controlled sizeof overflow 'addr + count * 16' '0-u64max + 16-68719476720'
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c
827 static int nested_vmx_check_msr_switch(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
828 u32 count, u64 addr)
829 {
830 if (count == 0)
831 return 0;
832
833 if (!kvm_vcpu_is_legal_aligned_gpa(vcpu, addr, 16) ||
--> 834 !kvm_vcpu_is_legal_gpa(vcpu, (addr + count * sizeof(struct vmx_msr_entry) - 1)))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While the SDM doesn't explicitly state an illegal count results in VM-Fail,
the SDM states that exceeding the limit may result in undefined behavior.
I.e. the SDM gives hardware, and thus KVM, carte blanche to do literally
anything in response to a count that exceeds the "recommended" limit.
If the limit is exceeded, undefined processor behavior may result
(including a machine check during the VMX transition).
KVM already enforces the limit when processing the MSRs, i.e. already
signals a late VM-Exit Consistency Check for VM-Enter, and generates a
VMX Abort for VM-Exit. I.e. explicitly checking the limits simply means
KVM will signal VM-Fail instead of VM-Exit or VMX Abort.

Commit 2e7eab8142 ("KVM: VMX: Execute IBPB on emulated VM-exit when
guest has IBRS") added an IBPB in the emulated VM-exit path on Intel to
properly virtualize IBRS by providing separate predictor modes for L1
and L2.
AMD requires similar handling, except when IbrsSameMode is enumerated by
the host CPU (which is the case on most/all AMD CPUs). With
IbrsSameMode, hardware IBRS is sufficient and no extra handling is
needed from KVM.
Generalize the handling in nested_vmx_vmexit() by moving it into a
generic function, add the AMD handling, and use it in
nested_svm_vmexit() too. The main reason for using a generic function is
to have a single place to park the huge comment about virtualizing IBRS.

Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
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

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM
- 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)"

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.15:
- Fix a bug in PIC emulation that caused KVM to emit a spurious KVM_REQ_EVENT.
- Add a helper to consolidate handling of mp_state transitions, and use it to
clear pv_unhalted whenever a vCPU is made RUNNABLE.
- 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 PV Async #PF with proctected guests without SEND_ALWAYS,
as KVM can't get the current CPL.
- Misc cleanups
Process pending events on nested VM-Exit if the vCPU has an injectable IRQ
or NMI, as the event may have become pending while L2 was active, i.e. may
not be tracked in the context of vmcs01. E.g. if L1 has passed its APIC
through to L2 and an IRQ arrives while L2 is active, then KVM needs to
request an IRQ window prior to running L1, otherwise delivery of the IRQ
will be delayed until KVM happens to process events for some other reason.
The missed failure is detected by vmx_apic_passthrough_tpr_threshold_test
in KVM-Unit-Tests, but has effectively been masked due to a flaw in KVM's
PIC emulation that causes KVM to make spurious KVM_REQ_EVENT requests (and
apparently no one ever ran the test with split IRQ chips).

Rework the nested VM-Exit helper to take the instruction length as a
parameter, and convert nested_vmx_vmexit() into a "default" wrapper that
grabs the length from vmcs02 as appropriate. This will allow KVM to set
the correct instruction length when synthesizing a nested VM-Exit when
emulating an instruction that L1 wants to intercept.
No functional change intended, as the path to prepare_vmcs12()'s reading
of vmcs02.VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN is gated on the same set of conditions

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.14:
- Overhaul KVM's CPUID feature infrastructure to track all vCPU capabilities
instead of just those where KVM needs to manage state and/or explicitly
enable the feature in hardware. Along the way, refactor the code to make
it easier to add features, and to make it more self-documenting how KVM
is handling each feature.
- Rework KVM's handling of VM-Exits during event vectoring; this plugs holes
where KVM unintentionally puts the vCPU into infinite loops in some scenarios
(e.g. if emulation is triggered by the exit), and brings parity between VMX
and SVM.
- Add pending request and interrupt injection information to the kvm_exit and
kvm_entry tracepoints respectively.
- Fix a relatively benign flaw where KVM would end up redoing RDPKRU when
loading guest/host PKRU, due to a refactoring of the kernel helpers that
didn't account for KVM's pre-checking of the need to do WRPKRU.
Move the handling of a nested posted interrupt notification that is
unblocked by nested VM-Enter (unblocks L1 IRQs when ack-on-exit is enabled
by L1) from VM-Enter emulation to vmx_check_nested_events(). To avoid a
pointless forced immediate exit, i.e. to not regress IRQ delivery latency
when a nested posted interrupt is pending at VM-Enter, block processing of
the notification IRQ if and only if KVM must block _all_ events. Unlike
injected events, KVM doesn't need to actually enter L2 before updating the
vIRR and vmcs02.GUEST_INTR_STATUS, as the resulting L2 IRQ will be blocked
by hardware itself, until VM-Enter to L2 completes.
Note, very strictly speaking, moving the IRQ from L2's PIR to IRR before
entering L2 is still technically wrong. But, practically speaking, only
an L1 hypervisor or an L0 userspace that is deliberately checking event
priority against PIR=>IRR processing can even notice; L2 will see
architecturally correct behavior, as KVM ensures the VM-Enter is finished
before doing anything that would effectively preempt the PIR=>IRR movement.

Use vmcs01's execution controls shadow to check for IRQ/NMI windows after
a successful nested VM-Enter, instead of snapshotting the information prior
to emulating VM-Enter. It's quite difficult to see that the entire reason
controls are snapshot prior nested VM-Enter is to read them from vmcs01
(vmcs02 is loaded if nested VM-Enter is successful).
That could be solved with a comment, but explicitly using vmcs01's shadow
makes the code self-documenting to a certain extent.
No functional change intended (vmcs01's execution controls must not be
modified during emulation of nested VM-Enter).

Drop the manual check for a pending IRQ in vmcs01's RVI field during
nested VM-Enter, as the recently added call to kvm_apic_has_interrupt()
when checking for pending events after successful VM-Enter is a superset
of the RVI check (IRQs that are pending in RVI are also pending in L1's
IRR).
