tl;dr: There is a window in the mm switching code where the new CR3 is
set and the CPU should be getting TLB flushes for the new mm. But
should_flush_tlb() has a bug and suppresses the flush. Fix it by
widening the window where should_flush_tlb() sends an IPI.
Long Version:
=== History ===
There were a few things leading up to this.
First, updating mm_cpumask() was observed to be too expensive, so it was
made lazier. But being lazy caused too many unnecessary IPIs to CPUs
due to the now-lazy mm_cpumask(). So code was added to cull
mm_cpumask() periodically[2]. But that culling was a bit too aggressive
and skipped sending TLB flushes to CPUs that need them. So here we are
again.
=== Problem ===
The too-aggressive code in should_flush_tlb() strikes in this window:
// Turn on IPIs for this CPU/mm combination, but only
// if should_flush_tlb() agrees:
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next));
next_tlb_gen = atomic64_read(&next->context.tlb_gen);
choose_new_asid(next, next_tlb_gen, &new_asid, &need_flush);
load_new_mm_cr3(need_flush);
// ^ After 'need_flush' is set to false, IPIs *MUST*
// be sent to this CPU and not be ignored.
this_cpu_write(cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm, next);
// ^ Not until this point does should_flush_tlb()
// become true!
should_flush_tlb() will suppress TLB flushes between load_new_mm_cr3()
and writing to 'loaded_mm', which is a window where they should not be
suppressed. Whoops.
=== Solution ===
Thankfully, the fuzzy "just about to write CR3" window is already marked
with loaded_mm==LOADED_MM_SWITCHING. Simply checking for that state in
should_flush_tlb() is sufficient to ensure that the CPU is targeted with
an IPI.
This will cause more TLB flush IPIs. But the window is relatively small
and I do not expect this to cause any kind of measurable performance
impact.
Update the comment where LOADED_MM_SWITCHING is written since it grew
yet another user.
Peter Z also raised a concern that should_flush_tlb() might not observe
'loaded_mm' and 'is_lazy' in the same order that switch_mm_irqs_off()
writes them. Add a barrier to ensure that they are observed in the
order they are written.

Set the magic BP_SPEC_REDUCE bit to mitigate SRSO when running VMs if and
only if KVM has at least one active VM. Leaving the bit set at all times
unfortunately degrades performance by a wee bit more than expected.
Use a dedicated spinlock and counter instead of hooking virtualization
enablement, as changing the behavior of kvm.enable_virt_at_load based on
SRSO_BP_SPEC_REDUCE is painful, and has its own drawbacks, e.g. could
result in performance issues for flows that are sensitive to VM creation
latency.
Defer setting BP_SPEC_REDUCE until VMRUN is imminent to avoid impacting
performance on CPUs that aren't running VMs, e.g. if a setup is using
housekeeping CPUs. Setting BP_SPEC_REDUCE in task context, i.e. without
blasting IPIs to all CPUs, also helps avoid serializing 1<=>N transitions
without incurring a gross amount of complexity (see the Link for details
on how ugly coordinating via IPIs gets).

[ Rust 1.88.0 (scheduled for 2025-06-26) should have this fixed [1],

When `objtool` lands checking for this with e.g. [2], the plan is
to ideally run that in upstream Rust's CI to prevent regressions
early [3], since we do not control `core`'s source code.

Peter would like that Rust provides a stable `core` which can be
pulled into the kernel: "Relying on that much out of tree code is
'unfortunate'".

Consolidate the whole logic which determines whether the microcode loader
should be enabled or not into a single function and call it everywhere.
Well, almost everywhere - not in mk_early_pgtbl_32() because there the kernel
is running without paging enabled and checking dis_ucode_ldr et al would
require physical addresses and uglification of the code.
But since this is 32-bit, the easier thing to do is to simply map the initrd
unconditionally especially since that mapping is getting removed later anyway
by zap_early_initrd_mapping() and avoid the uglification.
In doing so, address the issue of old 486er machines without CPUID
support, not booting current kernels.

Nathan reported [1] that when built with clang, the um kernel
crashes pretty much immediately. This turned out to be an issue
with the inline assembly I had added, when clang used %rax/%eax
for both operands. Reorder it so current->thread.segv_continue
is written first, and then the lifetime of _faulted won't have
overlap with the lifetime of segv_continue.
In the email thread Benjamin also pointed out that current->mm
is only NULL for true kernel tasks, but we could do this for a
userspace task, so the current->thread.segv_continue logic must
be lifted out of the mm==NULL check.
Finally, while looking at this, put a barrier() so the NULL
assignment to thread.segv_continue cannot be reorder before
the possibly faulting operation.

provided a fix for SEV-SNP memory acceptance from the EFI stub when

guests running at VMPL >0, as those rely on a SVSM calling area, which
is a shared buffer whose address is programmed into a SEV-SNP MSR, and
the SEV init code that sets up this calling area executes much later
during the boot.
Given that booting via the EFI stub at VMPL >0 implies that the firmware
has configured this calling area already, reuse it for performing memory
acceptance in the EFI stub.

When changing memory attributes on a subset of a potential hugepage, add
the hugepage to the invalidation range tracking to prevent installing a
hugepage until the attributes are fully updated. Like the actual hugepage
tracking updates in kvm_arch_post_set_memory_attributes(), process only
the head and tail pages, as any potential hugepages that are entirely
covered by the range will already be tracked.
Note, only hugepage chunks whose current attributes are NOT mixed need to
be added to the invalidation set, as mixed attributes already prevent
installing a hugepage, and it's perfectly safe to install a smaller
mapping for a gfn whose attributes aren't changing.

When generating the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE value that will be loaded on
VM-Entry to a KVM guest, mask the value with the vCPU's desired PEBS_ENABLE
value. Consulting only the host kernel's host vs. guest masks results in
running the guest with PEBS enabled even when the guest doesn't want to use
PEBS. Because KVM uses perf events to proxy the guest virtual PMU, simply
looking at exclude_host can't differentiate between events created by host
userspace, and events created by KVM on behalf of the guest.
Running the guest with PEBS unexpectedly enabled typically manifests as
crashes due to a near-infinite stream of #PFs. E.g. if the guest hasn't
written MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, the CPU will hit page faults on address '0' when
trying to record PEBS events.
The issue is most easily reproduced by running `perf kvm top` from before
commit 7b100989b4 ("perf evlist: Remove __evlist__add_default") (after
which, `perf kvm top` effectively stopped using PEBS). The userspace side
of perf creates a guest-only PEBS event, which intel_guest_get_msrs()
misconstrues a guest-*owned* PEBS event.
Arguably, this is a userspace bug, as enabling PEBS on guest-only events
simply cannot work, and userspace can kill VMs in many other ways (there
is no danger to the host). However, even if this is considered to be bad
userspace behavior, there's zero downside to perf/KVM restricting PEBS to
guest-owned events.
Note, commit 854250329c ("KVM: x86/pmu: Disable guest PEBS temporarily
in two rare situations") fixed the case where host userspace is profiling
KVM *and* userspace, but missed the case where userspace is profiling only
KVM.

Check request KVM_REQ_MMU_FREE_OBSOLETE_ROOTS to free obsolete roots in
kvm_mmu_reload() to prevent kvm_mmu_reload() from seeing a stale obsolete
root.
Since kvm_mmu_reload() can be called outside the
vcpu_enter_guest() path (e.g., kvm_arch_vcpu_pre_fault_memory()), it may be
invoked after a root has been marked obsolete and before vcpu_enter_guest()
is invoked to process KVM_REQ_MMU_FREE_OBSOLETE_ROOTS and set root.hpa to
invalid. This causes kvm_mmu_reload() to fail to load a new root, which
can lead to kvm_arch_vcpu_pre_fault_memory() being stuck in the while
loop in kvm_tdp_map_page() since RET_PF_RETRY is always returned due to
is_page_fault_stale().
Keep the existing check of KVM_REQ_MMU_FREE_OBSOLETE_ROOTS in
vcpu_enter_guest() since the cost of kvm_check_request() is negligible,
especially a check that's guarded by kvm_request_pending().
Export symbol of kvm_mmu_free_obsolete_roots() as kvm_mmu_reload() is

The counter backwards may be observed in the PMI handler when
counters-snapshotting some non-precise events in the freq mode.
For the non-precise events, it's possible the counters-snapshotting
records a positive value for an overflowed PEBS event. Then the HW
auto-reload mechanism reset the counter to 0 immediately. Because the
pebs_event_reset is cleared in the freq mode, which doesn't set the
PERF_X86_EVENT_AUTO_RELOAD.
In the PMI handler, 0 will be read rather than the positive value
recorded in the counters-snapshotting record.
The counters-snapshotting case has to be specially handled. Since the
event value has been updated when processing the counters-snapshotting
record, only needs to set the new period for the counter via
x86_pmu_set_period().

A warning in intel_pmu_lbr_counters_reorder() may be triggered by below
perf command.
perf record -e "{cpu-clock,cycles/call-graph="lbr"/}" -- sleep 1
It's because the group is mistakenly treated as a branch counter group.
The hw.flags of the leader are used to determine whether a group is a
branch counters group. However, the hw.flags is only available for a
hardware event. The field to store the flags is a union type. For a
software event, it's a hrtimer. The corresponding bit may be set if the
leader is a software event.
For a branch counter group and other groups that have a group flag
(e.g., topdown, PEBS counters snapshotting, and ACR), the leader must
be a X86 event. Check the X86 event before checking the flag.
The patch only fixes the issue for the branch counter group.
The following patch will fix the other groups.
There may be an alternative way to fix the issue by moving the hw.flags
out of the union type. It should work for now. But it's still possible
that the flags will be used by other types of events later. As long as
that type of event is used as a leader, a similar issue will be
triggered. So the alternative way is dropped.

However "sync_valid_fields" and kvm_sync_valid_fields() are u32 type so

Previously, commit ed129ec905 ("KVM: x86: forcibly leave nested mode
on vCPU reset") addressed an issue where a triple fault occurring in
nested mode could lead to use-after-free scenarios. However, the commit
did not handle the analogous situation for System Management Mode (SMM).
This omission results in triggering a WARN when KVM forces a vCPU INIT
after SHUTDOWN interception while the vCPU is in SMM. This situation was
reprodused using Syzkaller by:
1) Creating a KVM VM and vCPU
2) Sending a KVM_SMI ioctl to explicitly enter SMM
3) Executing invalid instructions causing consecutive exceptions and
eventually a triple fault
The issue manifests as follows:

Architecturally, INIT is blocked when the CPU is in SMM, hence KVM's WARN()
in kvm_vcpu_reset() to guard against KVM bugs, e.g. to detect improper
emulation of INIT. SHUTDOWN on SVM is a weird edge case where KVM needs to
do _something_ sane with the VMCB, since it's technically undefined, and
INIT is the least awful choice given KVM's ABI.
So, double down on stuffing INIT on SHUTDOWN, and force the vCPU out of
SMM to avoid any weirdness (and the WARN).

The reason is that the check in x86_pmu_hw_config() for sampling events is
unexpectedly applied to counting events as well.
It should only impact x86 platforms with limit_period used for non-PEBS
events. For Intel platforms, it should only impact some older platforms,
e.g., HSW, BDW and NHM.

The GNU coreutils version of truncate, which is the original, accepts a
% prefix for the -s size argument which means the file in question
should be padded to a multiple of the given size. This is currently used
to pad the setup block of bzImage to a multiple of 4k before appending
the decompressor.
busybox reimplements truncate but does not support this idiom, and
therefore fails the build since commit
9c54baab44 ("x86/boot: Drop CRC-32 checksum and the build tool that generates it")
Since very little build code within the kernel depends on the 'truncate'
utility, work around this incompatibility by avoiding truncate altogether,
and relying on dd to perform the padding.

Restore an IRTE back to host control (remapped or posted MSI mode) if the
*new* GSI route prevents posting the IRQ directly to a vCPU, regardless of
the GSI routing type. Updating the IRTE if and only if the new GSI is an
MSI results in KVM leaving an IRTE posting to a vCPU.
The dangling IRTE can result in interrupts being incorrectly delivered to
the guest, and in the worst case scenario can result in use-after-free,
e.g. if the VM is torn down, but the underlying host IRQ isn't freed.

Skip IRTE updates if AVIC is disabled/unsupported, as forcing the IRTE
into remapped mode (kvm_vcpu_apicv_active() will never be true) is
unnecessary and wasteful. The IOMMU driver is responsible for putting
IRTEs into remapped mode when an IRQ is allocated by a device, long before
that device is assigned to a VM. I.e. the kernel as a whole has major
issues if the IRTE isn't already in remapped mode.

Recently _pgd_alloc() was switched from using __get_free_pages() to
pagetable_alloc_noprof(), which might return a compound page in case
the allocation order is larger than 0.
On x86 this will be the case if CONFIG_MITIGATION_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
is set, even if PTI has been disabled at runtime.
When running as a Xen PV guest (this will always disable PTI), using
a compound page for a PGD will result in VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS being
triggered when the Xen code tries to pin the PGD.
Fix the Xen issue together with the not needed 8k allocation for a
PGD with PTI disabled by replacing PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER with an
inline helper returning the needed order for PGD allocations.

Previously, freeing of high memory was also clamped to the end of

free memory above the of ZONE_HIGHMEM as well and that causes
access to mem_map[] entries beyond the end of the memory map.

Currently when a user samples user space GPRs (--user-regs option) with
PEBS, the user space GPRs actually always come from software PMI
instead of from PEBS hardware. This leads to the sampled GPRs to
possibly be inaccurate for single PEBS record case because of the
skid between counter overflow and GPRs sampling on PMI.
For the large PEBS case, it is even worse. If user sets the
exclude_kernel attribute, large PEBS would be used to sample user space
GPRs, but since PEBS GPRs group is not really enabled, it leads to all
samples in the large PEBS record to share the same piece of user space
GPRs, like this reproducer shows:
$ perf record -e branches:pu --user-regs=ip,ax -c 100000 ./foo
$ perf report -D | grep "AX"
.... AX 0x000000003a0d4ead
.... AX 0x000000003a0d4ead
.... AX 0x000000003a0d4ead
.... AX 0x000000003a0d4ead
.... AX 0x000000003a0d4ead

.... AX 0x000000003a0d4ead
.... AX 0x000000003a0d4ead
.... AX 0x000000003a0d4ead
.... AX 0x000000003a0d4ead
So enable GPRs group for user space GPRs sampling and prioritize reading
GPRs from PEBS. If the PEBS sampled GPRs is not user space GPRs (single
