9972befc3e KVM: s390: Fall back to short-term pinning in MAP ioctl
FOLL_LONGTERM pinning fails for some memory types, such as file-backed
guest memory. As a result, kvm_s390_adapter_map() returns -EINVAL and
irqfd adapter registration fails even though interrupt delivery could
still work via the existing non-atomic path.

When FOLL_LONGTERM pinning fails, verify that the page is accessible
using a short-term pin instead. If the short-term pin succeeds, unpin
the page and add a map entry with pinned=false to preserve MAP/UNMAP
symmetry. The non-atomic irqfd path already performs short-term pinning
for interrupt delivery, so this restores the previous behavior for
memory that cannot be pinned long-term.

get_map_info() is updated to return NULL for unpinned entries so that
the atomic irqfd fast path falls back to the non-atomic path.
kvm_s390_adapter_unmap() and kvm_s390_unmap_all_adapters() skip dirty
marking and unpin for unpinned entries.

Update Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/s390_flic.rst to reflect the
new MAP/UNMAP behavior.

679d7201c1 KVM: arm64: Reject guest_memfd memslots when the VM has MTE
The user cannot use MTE on VMAs created by mapping a guest_memfd file,
as arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() does not set VM_MTE_ALLOWED.

When creating a guest_memfd backed memslot,
kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() rejects the memslot if MTE is enabled for
the VM and if guest_memfd has been mapped in a VMA that intersects the
memslot.

However, the documentation for KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 explicitly
states that the only condition for userspace_addr is for it to be a legal
userspace address, but the mapping is not required to be valid nor
populated at memslot creation.

If userspace sets userspace_addr to an address that hasn't been mapped, or
if userspace_addr belongs to a VMA that isn't backed by the guest_memfd
file, or if the VMA doesn't intersect the memslot, memslot creation is
successful and KVM ends up with a VM with MTE and guest_memfd-backed
memslots.

The same happens if the order is reversed: when userspace enables MTE, KVM
does not check if memslots backed by guest_memfd are already present.

Fix both issues by rejecting guest_memfd-backed memslots when MTE is
enabled, and by rejecting MTE when guest_memfd-backed memslots are already
present.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "arm64:

     This is a bit of an odd merge window on the KVM/arm64 front. There
     is absolutely no new feature in the pull request. It is purely
     fixes, because it is simply becoming too hard to review new stuff
     when so many AI-fuelled fixes hit the list.

   - Significant cleanup of the vgic-v5 PPI support which was merged in
     7.1. This makes the code more maintainable, and squashes a couple
     of bugs in the meantime

   - Set of fixes for the handling of the MMU in an NV context,
     particularly VNCR-triggered faults. S1POE support is fixed as well

   - Large set of pKVM fixes, mostly addressing recurring issues around
     hypervisor tracking of donated pages in obscure cases where the
     donation could fail and leave things in a bizarre state

   - Fixes for the so-called "lazy vgic init", which resulted in
     sleeping operations in non-preemptible sections. This turned out to
     be far more invasive than initially expected..

   - Reduce the overhead of L1/L2 context switch by not touching the FP
     registers

   - Fix the way non-implemented page sizes are dealt with when a guest
     insist on using them for S2 translation

   - The usual set of low-impact fixes and cleanups all over the map

  Loongarch:

   - On a request for lazy FPU load, load all FPU state that the VM
     supports instead of enabling only the part (FPU, LSX or LASX) that
     caused the FPU load request

   - Some enhancements about interrupt injection

   - Some bug fixes and other small changes

  RISC-V:

   - Batch G-stage TLB flushes for GPA range based page table updates

   - Convert HGEI line management to fully per-HART

   - Fix missing CSR dirty marking when FWFT state updated via ONE_REG

   - Fix stale FWFT feature exposure to Guest/VM

   - Speed up dirty logging write faults using MMU rwlock and atomic PTE
     updates using cmpxchg() for permission-only changes

   - Use flexible array for APLIC IRQ state

   - Use kvm_slot_dirty_track_enabled() for logging enable check on a
     memslot

   - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_wp_range()

   - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_unmap_range()

   - Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory

  S390:

   - KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY support

   - Support for 2G hugepages

   - Support for the ASTFLEIE 2 facility

   - Support for fast inject using kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic

   - Fix potential leak of uninitialized bytes

   - A few more misc gmap fixes

  x86:

   - Generic support for the more granular permissions allowed by EPT,
     namely "read" (which was previously usurping the U bit) and
     separate execution bits for kernel and userspace

   - Do not assume that all page tables start with U=1/W=1/NX=0 at the
     root, as AMD GMET needs to have U=0 at the root

   - Introduce common assembly macros for use within Intel and AMD
     vendor-specific vmentry code. This touches the SPEC_CTRL handling,
     which is now entirely done in assembly for Intel (by reusing the
     AMD code that already existed), and register save/restore which
     uses some macro magic to compute the offsets in the struct. Both of
     these are preparatory changes for upcoming APX support

   - Clean up KVM's register tracking and storage, primarily to prepare
     for APX support, which expands the maximum number of GPRs from 16
     to 32

   - Keep a single copy of the PDPTRs rather than two, since
     architecturally there is just one

   - Handle EXIT_FASTPATH_EXIT_USERSPACE in vendor code to ensure vendor
     code gets a chance to handle things like reaping the PML buffer

   - Update KVM's view of PV async enabling if and only if the MSR write
     fully succeeds

   - Fix a variety of issues where the emulator doesn't honor
     guest-debug state, and clean up related code along the way

   - Synthesize EPT Violation and #NPF "error code" bits when injecting
     faults into L1 that didn't originate in hardware (in which case the
     VMCS/VMCB doesn't hold relevant information)

   - Add support for virtualizing (well, emulating) AMD's flavor of
     CPL>0 CPUID faulting

   - Clean up the GPR APIs so that KVM's use of "raw" is consistent, and
     fix a variety of minor bugs along the way

   - Fix an OOB memory access due to not checking the VP ID when
     handling a Hyper-V PV TLB flush for L2

   - Fix a bug in the mediated PMU's handling of fixed counters that
     allowed the guest to bypass the PMU event filter

   - Allow userspace to return EAGAIN when handling SNP and TDX
     hypercalls, so the KVM can forward a "retry" status code to the
     guest, and reserve all unused error codes for future usage

   - Overhaul the TDP MMU => S-EPT code to move as much S-EPT specific
     logic as possible into the TDX code, and to funnel (almost) all
     S-EPT updates into a single chokepoint. The motivation is largely
     to prepare for upcoming Dynamic PAMT support, but the cleanups are
     nice to have on their own

   - Plug a hole in shadow page table handling, where KVM fails to
     recursively zap nested EPT/NPT shadow page tables when the nested
     hypervisor tears down its own EPT/NPT page tables from the bottom
     up

  x86 (Intel):

   - Support for nested MBEC (Mode-Based Execute Control), see above in
     the generic section; also run with MBEC enabled even for non-nested
     mode

   - Use the kernel's "enum pg_level" in the TDX APIs instead of the
     TDX-Module's level definitions (which are 0-based)

   - Rework the TDX memory APIs to not require/assume that guest memory
     is backed by "struct page" (in prepartion for guest_memfd hugepage
     support)

   - Fix a largely benign bug where KVM TDX would incorrectly state it
     could emulate several x2APIC MSRs

   - Use the "safe" WRMSR API when proxying LBR MSR writes as the
     to-be-written value is guest controlled and completely unvalidated

  x86 (AMD):

   - Support for nested GMET (Guest Mode Execution Trap), see above in
     the generic section; also run with GMET enabled even for non-nested
     mode

   - Fixes and minor cleanups to GHCB handling, on top of the earlier
     work already merged into 7.1-rc

   - Ensure KVM's copy of CR0 and CR3 are up-to-date prior to invoking
     fastpath handlers

   - Add support for virtualizing gPAT (KVM previously just used L1's
     PAT when running L2)

   - Fix goofs where KVM mishandles side effects (e.g. single-step and
     PMC updates) when emulating VMRUN

   - Fix a variety of bugs in AVIC's handling of x2APIC MSR
     interception, most notably where KVM didn't disable interception of
     IRR, ISR, and TMR regs

   - Add support for virtualizing Host-Only/Guest-Only bits in the
     mediated PMU

   - Don't advertise support for unusable VM types, and account for VM
     types that are disabled by firmware, e.g. to mitigate security
     vulnerabilities

   - Rewrite the SEV {en,de}crypt debug ioctls as they were riddle with
     bugs and unnecessarily complicated, and add comprehensive tests

   - Clean up and deduplicate the SEV page pinning code

   - Fix minor goofs related to writing back CPUID information after
     firmware rejects a CPUID page for an SNP vCPU

  Generic:

   - Rename invalidate_begin() to invalidate_start() throughout KVM to
     follow the kernel's nomenclature, e.g. for mmu_notifiers

   - Use guard() to cleanup up various KVM+VFIO flows

   - Minor cleanups

  guest_memfd:

   - Return -EEXIST instead of -EINVAL if userspace attempts to bind a
     gmem range to multiple memslots, and fix the test that was supposed
     to ensure KVM returns -EEXIST

   - Treat memslot binding offsets and sizes as unsigned values to fix a
     bug where KVM interprets a large "offset + size" as a negative
     value and allows a nonsensical offset

   - Use the inode number instead of the page offset for the NUMA
     interleaving index to fix a bug where the effective index would
     jump by two for consecutive pages (the caller also adds in the page
     offset)

  Selftests:

   - Randomize the dirty log test's delay when reaping the bitmap on the
     first pass, as always waiting only 1ms hid a KVM RISC-V bug as the
     test reaped the bitmap before KVM could build up enough state to
     hit the bug

   - A pile of one-off fixes and cleanups"

3e2dec1ede KVM: TDX: Allow userspace to return errors to guest for MAPGPA
MAPGPA request from TDX VMs gets split into chunks by KVM using a loop
of userspace exits until the complete range is handled.

In some cases userspace VMM might decide to break the MAPGPA operation
and continue it later. For example: in the case of intrahost migration
userspace might decide to continue the MAPGPA operation after the
migration is completed.

Allow userspace to signal to TDX guests that the MAPGPA operation should
be retried the next time the guest is scheduled.

This is potentially a breaking change since if userspace sets
hypercall.ret to a value other than EBUSY or EINVAL an EINVAL error code
will be returned to userspace. As of now QEMU never sets hypercall.ret
to a non-zero value after handling KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL so this change
should be safe.

however, must be communicated via the
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_CTRL->KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ ioctl as a full
GICv5-style Interrupt ID. That is, 0x20000017. Optionally, the whole
ioctl can be skipped for GICv5.

This was previously not clearly documented, so bump the documentation
accordingly.

4f256d5770 KVM: x86: nSVM: Save/restore gPAT with KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE
Add a 'gpat' field to kvm_svm_nested_state_hdr to carry L2's guest PAT
value across save and restore.

When KVM_X86_QUIRK_NESTED_SVM_SHARED_PAT is disabled and the vCPU is in
guest mode with nested NPT enabled, save vmcb02's g_pat into the header on
KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE, and restore it on KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE.

Host-initiated accesses to IA32_PAT (via KVM_GET/SET_MSRS) always target
L1's hPAT, so they cannot be used to save or restore gPAT. The separate
header field ensures that KVM_GET/SET_MSRS and KVM_GET/SET_NESTED_STATE are
independent and can be ordered arbitrarily during save and restore.

Note that struct kvm_svm_nested_state_hdr is included in a union padded to
120 bytes, so there is room to add the gpat field without changing any
offsets.

d51c978b7d KVM: arm64: gic-v5: Communicate userspace-driveable PPIs via a UAPI
GICv5 systems will likely not support the full set of PPIs. The
presence of any virtual PPI is tied to the presence of the physical
PPI. Therefore, the available PPIs will be limited by the physical
host. Userspace cannot drive any PPIs that are not implemented.

Moreover, it is not desirable to expose all PPIs to the guest in the
first place, even if they are supported in hardware. Some devices,
such as the arch timer, are implemented in KVM, and hence those PPIs
shouldn't be driven by userspace, either.

Provided a new UAPI:
  KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL => KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_USERPSPACE_PPIs

This allows userspace to query which PPIs it is able to drive via
KVM_IRQ_LINE.

Additionally, introduce a check in kvm_vm_ioctl_irq_line() to reject
any PPIs not in the userspace mask.

b88d05a893 KVM: arm64: gic-v5: Support GICv5 interrupts with KVM_IRQ_LINE
Interrupts under GICv5 look quite different to those from older Arm
GICs. Specifically, the type is encoded in the top bits of the
interrupt ID.

Extend KVM_IRQ_LINE to cope with GICv5 PPIs and SPIs. The requires
subtly changing the KVM_IRQ_LINE API for GICv5 guests. For older Arm
GICs, PPIs had to be in the range of 16-31, and SPIs had to be
32-1019, but this no longer holds true for GICv5. Instead, for a GICv5
guest support PPIs in the range of 0-127, and SPIs in the range
0-65535. The documentation is updated accordingly.

The SPI range doesn't cover the full SPI range that a GICv5 system can
potentially cope with (GICv5 provides up to 24-bits of SPI ID space,
and we only have 16 bits to work with in KVM_IRQ_LINE). However, 65k
SPIs is more than would be reasonably expected on systems for years to
come.

In order to use vgic_is_v5(), the kvm/arm_vgic.h header is added to
kvm/arm.c.

Note: As the GICv5 KVM implementation currently doesn't support
injecting SPIs attempts to do so will fail. This restriction will by
lifted as the GICv5 KVM support evolves.

by default for backwards compatibility (like all quirks); userspace
can disable it via KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS2 for consistency with the
constraints on WRMSR(IA32_DEBUGCTL).

Note that the quirk only bypasses the consistency check.  The vmcs02 bit is
still owned by the host, and PMCs are not frozen during virtualized SMM.
In particular, if a host administrator decides that PMCs should not be
frozen during physical SMM, then L1 has no say in the matter.

f8211e95df Documentation: KVM: Formalizing taking vcpu->mutex *outside* of kvm->slots_lock
Explicitly document the ordering of vcpu->mutex being taken *outside* of
kvm->slots_lock.  While somewhat unintuitive since vCPUs conceptually have
narrower scope than VMs, the scope of the owning object (vCPU versus VM)
doesn't automatically carry over to the lock.  In this case, vcpu->mutex
has far broader scope than kvm->slots_lock.  As Paolo put it, it's a
"don't worry about multiple ioctls at the same time" mutex that's intended
to be taken at the outer edges of KVM.

More importantly, arm64 and x86 have gained flows that take kvm->slots_lock
inside of vcpu->mutex.  x86's kvm_inhibit_apic_access_page() is particularly
nasty, as slots_lock is taken quite deep within KVM_RUN, i.e. simply
swapping the ordering isn't an option.

Commit to the vcpu->mutex => kvm->slots_lock ordering, as vcpu->mutex
really is intended to be a "top-level" lock, whereas kvm->slots_lock is
"just" a helper lock.

Opportunistically document that vcpu->mutex is also taken outside of
slots_arch_lock, e.g. when allocating shadow roots on x86 (which is the
entire reason slots_arch_lock exists, as shadow roots must be allocated
while holding kvm->srcu)

   - Add more CPUCFG mask bits

   - Improve feature detection

   - Add lazy load support for FPU and binary translation (LBT) register
     state

   - Fix return value for memory reads from and writes to in-kernel
     devices

   - Add support for detecting preemption from within a guest

   - Add KVM steal time test case to tools/selftests

  ARM:

   - Add support for FEAT_IDST, allowing ID registers that are not
     implemented to be reported as a normal trap rather than as an UNDEF
     exception

   - Add sanitisation of the VTCR_EL2 register, fixing a number of
     UXN/PXN/XN bugs in the process

   - Full handling of RESx bits, instead of only RES0, and resulting in
     SCTLR_EL2 being added to the list of sanitised registers

   - More pKVM fixes for features that are not supposed to be exposed to
     guests

   - Make sure that MTE being disabled on the pKVM host doesn't give it
     the ability to attack the hypervisor

   - Allow pKVM's host stage-2 mappings to use the Force Write Back
     version of the memory attributes by using the "pass-through'
     encoding

   - Fix trapping of ICC_DIR_EL1 on GICv5 hosts emulating GICv3 for the
     guest

   - Preliminary work for guest GICv5 support

   - A bunch of debugfs fixes, removing pointless custom iterators
     stored in guest data structures

   - A small set of FPSIMD cleanups

   - Selftest fixes addressing the incorrect alignment of page
     allocation

   - Other assorted low-impact fixes and spelling fixes

  RISC-V:

   - Fixes for issues discoverd by KVM API fuzzing in
     kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(), kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr(), and
     kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update()

   - Allow Zalasr, Zilsd and Zclsd extensions for Guest/VM

   - Transparent huge page support for hypervisor page tables

   - Adjust the number of available guest irq files based on MMIO
     register sizes found in the device tree or the ACPI tables

   - Add RISC-V specific paging modes to KVM selftests

   - Detect paging mode at runtime for selftests

  s390:

   - Performance improvement for vSIE (aka nested virtualization)

   - Completely new memory management. s390 was a special snowflake that
     enlisted help from the architecture's page table management to
     build hypervisor page tables, in particular enabling sharing the
     last level of page tables. This however was a lot of code (~3K
     lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features.
     The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is
     completely independent of the page size used by the guest:
     userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit,
     and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's
     also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages
     running on the same host

   - Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci

   - Small quality of life improvement for protected guests

  x86:

   - Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware
     (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing
     direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model).

     KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce
     event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive
     host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of
     contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less
     overhead.

     For more information, see the commit message for merge commit
     bf2c3138ae ("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' ...")

   - Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all
     the same reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first
     KVM_RUN

   - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV
     MSRs when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled,
     even if those were advertised as supported to userspace,

   - Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs,
     where KVM would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry

   - Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM
     (for x86 only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL.
     Only a few exports that are intended for external usage, and those
     are allowed explicitly

   - When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore
     -EBUSY instead of WARNing. Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU
     into what should be an impossible state, and spurious exit to
     userspace on -EBUSY does not really do anything to solve the issue

   - Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being
     blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in
     playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller stuffing architecturally
     impossible states into KVM

   - Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything
     beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace

   - Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2

   - Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the
     intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to
     unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration

   - Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI
     broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest
     (currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC).
     Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an
     option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior
     (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or
     not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs)

   - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty

   - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's
     unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered
     by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless

   - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to
     make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to
     allow fropping these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n

   - Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including
     KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y

   - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes

   - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in
     kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to
     co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR
     information

   - Drop a dead function declaration

   - Minor cleanups

  x86 (Intel):

   - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to
     temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until
     the next nested VM-Exit.

     The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs,
     was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in
     auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting
     "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans

   - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page
     faults, and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM
     doesn't shadow EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM
     interference and can't be resolved by KVM

   - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup
     handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed

   - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported,
     mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other
     features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that
     conditionally exist

   - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to
     load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch

  x86 (AMD):

   - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure

   - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of
     ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM
     to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must*
     flush the RAP

   - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported
     according to L1's virtual CPU model

   - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's
     fastpath for EPT Misconfig

   - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently
     of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0

   - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM

   - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace

   - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when
     emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2

   - Misc fixes and cleanups

  x86 selftests:

   - Add a regression test for TPR<=>CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking

   - Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU
     support, and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT
     (for L2 guests)

   - Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM

   - Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE

   - Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression
     test for PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to
     improve test coverage and to hopefully make the test easier to
     understand and maintain

  guest_memfd:

   - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked
     hugepage handling. SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it
     can do it via the RMP

   - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that
     KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the
     source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for
     something that no known VMM seems to be doing and to avoid an API
     special case for in-place conversion, which simply can't support
     unaligned sources

   - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common
     code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead
     of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a
     looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee
     mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock

  Generic:

   - Fix a bug where KVM would ignore the vCPU's selected address space
     when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. Actually
     this bug could not be hit even on x86, the only architecture with
     multiple address spaces, but it's a bug nevertheless"

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.20

 - Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all the same

 - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV MSRs that

6517dfbcc9 KVM: x86: Add x2APIC "features" to control EOI broadcast suppression
Add two flags for KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API to allow userspace to control support
for Suppress EOI Broadcasts when using a split IRQCHIP (I/O APIC emulated
by userspace), which KVM completely mishandles. When x2APIC support was
first added, KVM incorrectly advertised and "enabled" Suppress EOI
Broadcast, without fully supporting the I/O APIC side of the equation,
i.e. without adding directed EOI to KVM's in-kernel I/O APIC.

That flaw was carried over to split IRQCHIP support, i.e. KVM advertised
support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts irrespective of whether or not the
userspace I/O APIC implementation supported directed EOIs. Even worse,
KVM didn't actually suppress EOI broadcasts, i.e. userspace VMMs without
support for directed EOI came to rely on the "spurious" broadcasts.

KVM "fixed" the in-kernel I/O APIC implementation by completely disabling
support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts in commit 0bcc3fb95b ("KVM: lapic:
stop advertising DIRECTED_EOI when in-kernel IOAPIC is in use"), but
didn't do anything to remedy userspace I/O APIC implementations.

KVM's bogus handling of Suppress EOI Broadcast is problematic when the
guest relies on interrupts being masked in the I/O APIC until well after
the initial local APIC EOI. E.g. Windows with Credential Guard enabled
handles interrupts in the following order:
  1. Interrupt for L2 arrives.
  2. L1 APIC EOIs the interrupt.
  3. L1 resumes L2 and injects the interrupt.
  4. L2 EOIs after servicing.
  5. L1 performs the I/O APIC EOI.

Because KVM EOIs the I/O APIC at step #2, the guest can get an interrupt
storm, e.g. if the IRQ line is still asserted and userspace reacts to the
EOI by re-injecting the IRQ, because the guest doesn't de-assert the line
until step #4, and doesn't expect the interrupt to be re-enabled until
step #5.

Unfortunately, simply "fixing" the bug isn't an option, as KVM has no way
of knowing if the userspace I/O APIC supports directed EOIs, i.e.
suppressing EOI broadcasts would result in interrupts being stuck masked
in the userspace I/O APIC due to step #5 being ignored by userspace. And
fully disabling support for Suppress EOI Broadcast is also undesirable, as
picking up the fix would require a guest reboot, *and* more importantly
would change the virtual CPU model exposed to the guest without any buy-in
from userspace.

Add KVM_X2APIC_ENABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST and
KVM_X2APIC_DISABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST flags to allow userspace to
explicitly enable or disable support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts. This
gives userspace control over the virtual CPU model exposed to the guest,
as KVM should never have enabled support for Suppress EOI Broadcast without
userspace opt-in. Not setting either flag will result in legacy quirky
behavior for backward compatibility.

Disallow fully enabling SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST when using an in-kernel
I/O APIC, as KVM's history/support is just as tragic.  E.g. it's not clear
that commit c806a6ad35 ("KVM: x86: call irq notifiers with directed EOI")
was entirely correct, i.e. it may have simply papered over the lack of
Directed EOI emulation in the I/O APIC.

Note, Suppress EOI Broadcasts is defined only in Intel's SDM, not in AMD's
APM. But the bit is writable on some AMD CPUs, e.g. Turin, and KVM's ABI
is to support Directed EOI (KVM's name) irrespective of guest CPU vendor.

a592a36e49 Documentation: use a source-read extension for the index link boilerplate
The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the
generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The
other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't.

For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst,
but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a
".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html
builds.

This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to
all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the
root document.

Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and
include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an
ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py.

For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this
approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

fa9893fadb KVM: Introduce KVM_EXIT_SNP_REQ_CERTS for SNP certificate-fetching
For SEV-SNP, the host can optionally provide a certificate table to the
guest when it issues an attestation request to firmware (see GHCB 2.0
specification regarding "SNP Extended Guest Requests"). This certificate
table can then be used to verify the endorsement key used by firmware to
sign the attestation report.

While it is possible for guests to obtain the certificates through other
means, handling it via the host provides more flexibility in being able
to keep the certificate data in sync with the endorsement key throughout
host-side operations that might resulting in the endorsement key
changing.

In the case of KVM, userspace will be responsible for fetching the
certificate table and keeping it in sync with any modifications to the
endorsement key by other userspace management tools. Define a new
KVM_EXIT_SNP_REQ_CERTS event where userspace is provided with the GPA of
the buffer the guest has provided as part of the attestation request so
that userspace can write the certificate data into it while relying on
filesystem-based locking to keep the certificates up-to-date relative to
the endorsement keys installed/utilized by firmware at the time the
certificates are fetched.

[Melody: Update the documentation scheme about how file locking is
         expected to happen.]
