KVM/arm64 updates for 7.2
* New features:
- None. Zilch. Nada. Que dalle.
* Fixes and other improvements:
- 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.
KVM SVM changes for 7.2
- 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.
KVM misc x86 changes for 7.2
- Handle EXIT_FASTPATH_EXIT_USERSPACE in vendor code to ensure vendor code
gets a chance to handle things like reaping the PML buffer.
- Ensure KVM's copy of CR0 and CR3 are up-to-date on SVM prior to invoking
fastpath handlers.
- 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.
- Misc fixes and cleanups.

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.

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.

Define a quirk to control whether nested SVM shares L1's PAT with L2
(legacy behavior) or gives L2 its own independent gPAT (correct behavior
per the APM).
When the quirk is enabled (default), L2 shares L1's PAT, preserving the
legacy KVM behavior. When userspace disables the quirk, KVM correctly
virtualizes the PAT for nested SVM guests, giving L2 a separate gPAT as
specified in the AMD architecture.

Guest page tables can be reused independent of the value of CR4.SMEP
(at least if WP=1). However, this is not true of EPT MBEC pages,
because presence of EPT entries is signaled by bits 0-2 when MBEC
is off, and bits 0-2 + bit 10 when MBEC is on.
In preparation for enabling MBEC, move cr4_smep to the base role.
This makes the smep_andnot_wp bit redundant, so remove it.

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.

Make it mandatory to use the architected PPI when running a GICv5
guest. Attempts to set anything other than the architected PPI (23)
are rejected.
Additionally, KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_INIT is relaxed to no longer require
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ to be called for GICv5-based guests. In this
case, the architectued PPI is automatically used.

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.

Add KVM_X86_QUIRK_VMCS12_ALLOW_FREEZE_IN_SMM to allow L1 to set

prior to commit 6b1dd26544 ("KVM: VMX: Preserve host's

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.

[Rename quirk. - Paolo]
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
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.
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)

"Loongarch:

- 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

KVM x86 misc changes for 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 that
were advertised as supported to userspace when running with
KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled.
- Fix a bug where KVM would attempt to read protect guest state (CR3) when
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. Explicitly allow
the few exports that are intended for external usage.
- Ignore -EBUSY when checking nested events after a vCPU exits blocking as
the WARN is user-triggerable, and because exiting to userspace on -EBUSY
does more harm than good in pretty much every situation.
- Throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU is
in Wait-For-SIPI, as playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller turned out to be an
unwinnable game.
- 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).
- Minor cleanups.
KVM SVM changes for 6.20
- 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.
Add a new IOCTL to allow userspace to manipulate storage keys directly.
This will make it easier to write selftests related to storage keys.

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.

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.

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.

expected to happen.]

In the past, KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE accepted a non-page-aligned
'uaddr' parameter to copy data from, but continuing to support this with
new functionality like in-place conversion and hugepages in the pipeline
has proven to be more trouble than it is worth, since there are no known
users that have been identified who use a non-page-aligned 'uaddr'
parameter.
Rather than locking guest_memfd into continuing to support this, go
ahead and document page-alignment as a requirement and begin enforcing
this in the handling function.

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.19
- 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
KVM/riscv changes for 6.19
- SBI MPXY support for KVM guest
- New KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY_NO_VSFILE for the case when in-kernel
AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file
- Support enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
- Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions
- Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores
KVM SVM changes for 6.19:
- 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.
KVM generic changes for 6.19:
- Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU workqueue for
irqfd cleanup.
- Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation.
There is already support of enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
for x86 in commit 3c9bd4006b ("KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in
small chunks") and c862626 ("KVM: arm64: Support enabling dirty log
gradually in small chunks"). This adds support for riscv.
x86 and arm64 writes protect both huge pages and normal pages now, so
riscv protect also protects both huge pages and normal pages.
