Move kvm_intr_is_single_vcpu() to lapic.c, drop its export, and make its
"fast" helper local to lapic.c. kvm_intr_is_single_vcpu() is only usable
if the local APIC is in-kernel, i.e. it most definitely belongs in the
local APIC code.
No functional change intended.

Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

Use kvm_is_gpa_in_memslot() to check the validity of the notification
indicator byte address instead of open coding equivalent logic in the VFIO
AP driver.
Opportunistically use a dedicated wrapper that exists and is exported
expressly for the VFIO AP module. kvm_is_gpa_in_memslot() is generally
unsuitable for use outside of KVM; other drivers typically shouldn't rely
on KVM's memslots, and using the API requires kvm->srcu (or slots_lock) to
be held for the entire duration of the usage, e.g. to avoid TOCTOU bugs.
handle_pqap() is a bit of a special case, as it's explicitly invoked from
KVM with kvm->srcu already held, and the VFIO AP driver is in many ways an
extension of KVM that happens to live in a separate module.
Providing a dedicated API for the VFIO AP driver will allow restricting
the vast majority of generic KVM's exports to KVM submodules (e.g. to x86's
kvm-{amd,intel}.ko vendor mdoules).
No functional change intended.

KVM x86 CET virtualization support for 6.18
Add support for virtualizing Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) on
Intel (Shadow Stacks and Indirect Branch Tracking) and AMD (Shadow Stacks).
CET is comprised of two distinct features, Shadow Stacks (SHSTK) and Indirect
Branch Tracking (IBT), that can be utilized by software to help provide
Control-flow integrity (CFI). SHSTK defends against backward-edge attacks
(a.k.a. Return-oriented programming (ROP)), while IBT defends against
forward-edge attacks (a.k.a. similarly CALL/JMP-oriented programming (COP/JOP)).
Attackers commonly use ROP and COP/JOP methodologies to redirect the control-
flow to unauthorized targets in order to execute small snippets of code,
a.k.a. gadgets, of the attackers choice. By chaining together several gadgets,
an attacker can perform arbitrary operations and circumvent the system's
defenses.
SHSTK defends against backward-edge attacks, which execute gadgets by modifying
the stack to branch to the attacker's target via RET, by providing a second
stack that is used exclusively to track control transfer operations. The
shadow stack is separate from the data/normal stack, and can be enabled
independently in user and kernel mode.
When SHSTK is is enabled, CALL instructions push the return address on both the
data and shadow stack. RET then pops the return address from both stacks and
compares the addresses. If the return addresses from the two stacks do not
match, the CPU generates a Control Protection (#CP) exception.
IBT defends against backward-edge attacks, which branch to gadgets by executing
indirect CALL and JMP instructions with attacker controlled register or memory
state, by requiring the target of indirect branches to start with a special
marker instruction, ENDBRANCH. If an indirect branch is executed and the next
instruction is not an ENDBRANCH, the CPU generates a #CP. Note, ENDBRANCH
behaves as a NOP if IBT is disabled or unsupported.
From a virtualization perspective, CET presents several problems. While SHSTK
and IBT have two layers of enabling, a global control in the form of a CR4 bit,
and a per-feature control in user and kernel (supervisor) MSRs (U_CET and S_CET
respectively), the {S,U}_CET MSRs can be context switched via XSAVES/XRSTORS.
Practically speaking, intercepting and emulating XSAVES/XRSTORS is not a viable
option due to complexity, and outright disallowing use of XSTATE to context
switch SHSTK/IBT state would render the features unusable to most guests.
To limit the overall complexity without sacrificing performance or usability,
simply ignore the potential virtualization hole, but ensure that all paths in
KVM treat SHSTK/IBT as usable by the guest if the feature is supported in
hardware, and the guest has access to at least one of SHSTK or IBT. I.e. allow
userspace to advertise one of SHSTK or IBT if both are supported in hardware,
even though doing so would allow a misbehaving guest to use the unadvertised
feature.
Fully emulating SHSTK and IBT would also require significant complexity, e.g.
to track and update branch state for IBT, and shadow stack state for SHSTK.
Given that emulating large swaths of the guest code stream isn't necessary on
modern CPUs, punt on emulating instructions that meaningful impact or consume
SHSTK or IBT. However, instead of doing nothing, explicitly reject emulation
of such instructions so that KVM's emulator can't be abused to circumvent CET.
Disable support for SHSTK and IBT if KVM is configured such that emulation of
arbitrary guest instructions may be required, specifically if Unrestricted
Guest (Intel only) is disabled, or if KVM will emulate a guest.MAXPHYADDR that
is smaller than host.MAXPHYADDR.
Lastly disable SHSTK support if shadow paging is enabled, as the protections
for the shadow stack are novel (shadow stacks require Writable=0,Dirty=1, so
that they can't be directly modified by software), i.e. would require
non-trivial support in the Shadow MMU.
Note, AMD CPUs currently only support SHSTK. Explicitly disable IBT support
so that KVM doesn't over-advertise if AMD CPUs add IBT, and virtualizing IBT
in SVM requires KVM modifications.
KVM x86 changes for 6.18
- Don't (re)check L1 intercepts when completing userspace I/O to fix a flaw
where a misbehaving usersepace (a.k.a. syzkaller) could swizzle L1's
intercepts and trigger a variety of WARNs in KVM.
- Emulate PERF_CNTR_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET for PerfMonV2 guests, as the MSR is
supposed to exist for v2 PMUs.
- Allow Centaur CPU leaves (base 0xC000_0000) for Zhaoxin CPUs.
- Clean up KVM's vector hashing code for delivering lowest priority IRQs.
- Clean up the fastpath handler code to only handle IPIs and WRMSRs that are
actually "fast", as opposed to handling those that KVM _hopes_ are fast, and
in the process of doing so add fastpath support for TSC_DEADLINE writes on
AMD CPUs.
- Clean up a pile of PMU code in anticipation of adding support for mediated
vPMUs.
- Add support for the immediate forms of RDMSR and WRMSRNS, sans full
emulator support (KVM should never need to emulate the MSRs outside of
forced emulation and other contrived testing scenarios).
- Clean up the MSR APIs in preparation for CET and FRED virtualization, as
well as mediated vPMU support.
- Rejecting a fully in-kernel IRQCHIP if EOIs are protected, i.e. for TDX VMs,
as KVM can't faithfully emulate an I/O APIC for such guests.
- KVM_REQ_MSR_FILTER_CHANGED into a generic RECALC_INTERCEPTS in preparation
for mediated vPMU support, as KVM will need to recalculate MSR intercepts in
response to PMU refreshes for guests with mediated vPMUs.
- Misc cleanups and minor fixes.

KVM SEV-SNP CipherText Hiding support for 6.18
Add support for SEV-SNP's CipherText Hiding, an opt-in feature that prevents
unauthorized CPU accesses from reading the ciphertext of SNP guest private
memory, e.g. to attempt an offline attack. Instead of ciphertext, the CPU
will always read back all FFs when CipherText Hiding is enabled.
Add new module parameter to the KVM module to enable CipherText Hiding and
control the number of ASIDs that can be used for VMs with CipherText Hiding,
which is in effect the number of SNP VMs. When CipherText Hiding is enabled,
the shared SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space is split into separate ranges for SEV-ES
and SEV-SNP guests, i.e. ASIDs that can be used for CipherText Hiding cannot
be used to run SEV-ES guests.
KVM SVM changes for 6.18
- Require a minimum GHCB version of 2 when starting SEV-SNP guests via
KVM_SEV_INIT2 so that invalid GHCB versions result in immediate errors
instead of latent guest failures.
- Add support for Secure TSC for SEV-SNP guests, which prevents the untrusted
host from tampering with the guest's TSC frequency, while still allowing the
the VMM to configure the guest's TSC frequency prior to launch.
- Mitigate the potential for TOCTOU bugs when accessing GHCB fields by
wrapping all accesses via READ_ONCE().
- Validate the XCR0 provided by the guest (via the GHCB) to avoid tracking a
bogous XCR0 value in KVM's software model.
- Save an SEV guest's policy if and only if LAUNCH_START fully succeeds to
avoid leaving behind stale state (thankfully not consumed in KVM).
- Explicitly reject non-positive effective lengths during SNP's LAUNCH_UPDATE
instead of subtly relying on guest_memfd to do the "heavy" lifting.
- Reload the pre-VMRUN TSC_AUX on #VMEXIT for SEV-ES guests, not the host's
desired TSC_AUX, to fix a bug where KVM could clobber a different vCPU's
TSC_AUX due to hardware not matching the value cached in the user-return MSR
infrastructure.
- Enable AVIC by default for Zen4+ if x2AVIC (and other prereqs) is supported,
and clean up the AVIC initialization code along the way.
KVM VMX changes for 6.18
- Add read/write helpers for MSRs that need to be accessed with preemption
disable to prepare for virtualizing FRED RSP0.
- Fix a bug where KVM would return 0/success from __tdx_bringup() on error,
i.e. where KVM would load with enable_tdx=true despite TDX not being usable.
- Minor cleanups.
KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.18
- Recover possible NX huge pages within the TDP MMU under read lock to
reduce guest jitter when restoring NX huge pages.
- Return -EAGAIN during prefault if userspace concurrently deletes/moves the
relevant memslot to fix an issue where prefaulting could deadlock with the
memslot update.
- Don't retry in TDX's anti-zero-step mitigation if the target memslot is
invalid, i.e. is being deleted or moved, to fix a deadlock scenario similar
to the aforementioned prefaulting case.
x86/kvm guest side changes for 6.18
- For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when
overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI auto-mapping
could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers from mapping their
devices with UC/UC-.
- Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its
export.
- Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated vCPU=>pCPU
bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.
KVM/riscv changes for 6.18
- Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned
delegation and pointer masking PMLEN features
- Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension
- Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM
- Enabled more common KVM selftests for RISC-V such as
access_tracking_perf_test, dirty_log_perf_test,
memslot_modification_stress_test, memslot_perf_test,
mmu_stress_test, and rseq_test
- Added SBI v3.0 PMU enhancements in KVM and perf driver
KVM/arm64 updates for 6.18
- Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM,
allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload.
- Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the
privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised
data.
- Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU
synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker.
- Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2
payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This will
hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups.
- Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use
of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing
to translate a stage-1 walk.
- Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring
feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform.
- Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug
in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at
least correct.
- Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and
give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then allows
a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host
migration.
- Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to
transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling
NV testing.
- Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE
fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.
KVM/arm64 changes for 6.17, round #3
- Invalidate nested MMUs upon freeing the PGD to avoid WARNs when
visiting from an MMU notifier
- Fixes to the TLB match process and TLB invalidation range for
managing the VCNR pseudo-TLB
- Prevent SPE from erroneously profiling guests due to UNKNOWN reset
values in PMSCR_EL1
- Fix save/restore of host MDCR_EL2 to account for eagerly programming
at vcpu_load() on VHE systems
- Correct lock ordering when dealing with VGIC LPIs, avoiding scenarios
where an xarray's spinlock was nested with a *raw* spinlock
- Permit stage-2 read permission aborts which are possible in the case
of NV depending on the guest hypervisor's stage-2 translation
- Call raw_spin_unlock() instead of the internal spinlock API
- Fix parameter ordering when assigning VBAR_EL1

KVM: s390: A bugfix and a performance improvement
* Improve interrupt cpu for wakeup, change the heuristic to decide wich
vCPU to deliver a floating interrupt to.
* Clear the pte when discarding a swapped page because of CMMA; this
bug was introduced in 6.16 when refactoring gmap code.
KVM run fails when guests with 'cmm' cpu feature and host are
under memory pressure and use swap heavily. This is because
npages becomes ENOMEN (out of memory) in hva_to_pfn_slow()
which inturn propagates as EFAULT to qemu. Clearing the page
table entry when discarding an address that maps to a swap
entry resolves the issue.

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Add a RISC-V optimized implementation of Poly1305. This code was
written by Andy Polyakov and contributed by Zhihang Shao.
- Migrate the MD5 code into lib/crypto/, and add KUnit tests for MD5.
Yes, it's still the 90s, and several kernel subsystems are still
using MD5 for legacy use cases. As long as that remains the case,
it's helpful to clean it up in the same way as I've been doing for
other algorithms.
Later, I plan to convert most of these users of MD5 to use the new
MD5 library API instead of the generic crypto API.
- Simplify the organization of the ChaCha, Poly1305, BLAKE2s, and
Curve25519 code.
Consolidate these into one module per algorithm, and centralize the
configuration and build process. This is the same reorganization that
has already been successful for SHA-1 and SHA-2.

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a series I originally wrote and that Eric brought over
the finish line. It moves out the i_crypt_info and i_verity_info
pointers out of 'struct inode' and into the fs-specific part of the
inode.
So now the few filesytems that actually make use of this pay the price
in their own private inode storage instead of forcing it upon every
user of struct inode.
The pointer for the crypt and verity info is simply found by storing
an offset to its address in struct fsverity_operations and struct
fscrypt_operations. This shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes.
I hope to move a lot more out of it in the future so that struct inode
becomes really just about very core stuff that we need, much like
struct dentry and struct file, instead of the dumping ground it has
become over the years.
On top of this are a various changes associated with the ongoing inode
lifetime handling rework that multiple people are pushing forward:
- Stop accessing inode->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2. They
simply should use the __iget() and iput() helpers
- Make the i_state flags an enum
- Rework the iput() logic
Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME
bit set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark
it dirty and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the
time update for as long as possible
We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and
if it is do the time update while still holding the i_count
reference
Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the
->i_lock and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the
atomic_add_unless above
- Add an icount_read() helper and convert everyone that accesses
inode->i_count directly for this purpose to use the helper
- Expand dump_inode() to dump more information about an inode helping
in debugging
- Add some might_sleep() annotations to iput() and associated
helpers"

Remove superfluous newlines from inline assemblies. Compilers use the
number of lines of inline assemblies as heuristic for the complexity
and inline decisions. Therefore inline assemblies should only contain
as many lines as required.
A lot of inline assemblies contain a superfluous newline for the last
line. Remove such newlines to improve compiler inlining decisions.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

In the very early kernel 1.x days, assembler files were pre-processed
with the "-traditional" flag. With kernel 1.1.85, the sparc subsystem
was changed to use "-ansi" instead while the other parts of the kernel
continued to use "-traditional". That "-traditional" got removed from
the other architectures in the course of time, but the sparc part
kept the "-ansi" until today.
This is bad since it comes with some disadvantages nowadays: You have
to make sure to not include any header that contains a "//" C++ comment
by accident (there are now some in the tree that use these for SPDX
identifiers for example), and with "-ansi" we also do not get the
pre-defined __ASSEMBLER__ macro which we'd like to use instead of the
kernel-only __ASSEMBLY__ macro in the future.
Since there does not seem to be any compelling reason anymore to use
"-ansi" nowadays, let's simply drop the "-ansi" flag from the sparc
subsystem now to get rid of those disadvantages.
