Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
- Fix a bug where AVIC is incorrectly inhibited when running with
x2AVIC disabled via module param (or on a system without x2AVIC)
- Fix a dangling device posted IRQs bug by explicitly checking if the
irqfd is still active (on the list) when handling an eventfd signal,
instead of zeroing the irqfd's routing information when the irqfd is
deassigned.
Zeroing the irqfd's routing info causes arm64 and x86's to not
disable posting for the IRQ (kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer() looks
for an MSI), incorrectly leaving the IRQ in posted mode (and leading
to use-after-free and memory leaks on AMD in particular).
This is both the most pressing and scariest, but it's been in -next
for a while.
- Disable FORTIFY_SOURCE for KVM selftests to prevent the compiler from
generating calls to the checked versions of memset() and friends,
which leads to unexpected page faults in guest code due e.g.
__memset_chk@plt not being resolved.
- Explicitly configure the supported XSS capabilities from within
{svm,vmx}_set_cpu_caps() to fix a bug where VMX will compute the
reference VMCS configuration with SHSTK and IBT enabled, but then
compute each CPUs local config with SHSTK and IBT disabled if not all
CET xfeatures are enabled, e.g. if the kernel is built with
X86_KERNEL_IBT=n.
The mismatch in features results in differing nVMX setting, and
ultimately causes kvm-intel.ko to refuse to load with nested=1.
