Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:

- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
translation and wired interrupts

- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface

- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on
hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally

- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on
systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to
perform cache maintenance on the address range

- Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the
guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take
traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor

- Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
implementation

- Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3
system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the
ONE_REG vCPU ioctls

- Various cleanups and minor fixes

LoongArch:

- Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip

- Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits

- Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation

- Various cleanups

RISC-V:

- Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking

- Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events

- Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode

- MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization

s390x

- Fixes

x86:

- Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O
APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time

- Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it
against bugs and runtime errors

- Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups
O(1) instead of O(n)

- For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has
access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO
pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives

- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are
more or less identical

- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps

- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
independently

- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the
vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting
the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every
possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard
and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid
state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until
KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed

- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling
interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured
VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF
cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and
resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration)
but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux
guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo

- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a
"secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone

- Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
doesn't use the list)

- Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local
APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side
code for Secure AVIC

- Various cleanups and fixes

x86 (Intel):

- Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests

- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support,
e.g. BTF

x86 (AMD):

- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel
if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which
is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never
happen, but still)

- Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code

- Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation

- Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry

- Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs

- Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
the vCPU

- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
the vCPU's CPUID model

- Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
KVM to care

- Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
maintenance

- When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
encrypted data

Generic:

- Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI

- Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
"void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
to understand

- Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
posted IRQs

- Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code

- Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
bindings are globally unique

- Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
related to private <=> shared memory conversions

- Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL

- Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
KVM in a tight loop indefinitely

- Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation

Selftests:

- Fix a comment typo

- Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
parameter not existing)

- Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
needs to be run with elevated permissions"

KVM: arm64: nv: Honor SError exception routing / masking

To date KVM has used HCR_EL2.VSE to track the state of a pending SError
for the guest. With this bit set, hardware respects the EL1 exception
routing / masking rules and injects the vSError when appropriate.

This isn't correct for NV guests as hardware is oblivious to vEL2's
intentions for SErrors. Better yet, with FEAT_NV2 the guest can change
the routing behind our back as HCR_EL2 is redirected to memory. Cope
with this mess by:

- Using a flag (instead of HCR_EL2.VSE) to track the pending SError
state when SErrors are unconditionally masked for the current context

- Resampling the routing / masking of a pending SError on every guest
entry/exit

- Emulating exception entry when SError routing implies a translation
regime change

KVM: arm64: Add helper to identify a nested context

A common idiom in the KVM code is to check if we are currently
dealing with a "nested" context, defined as having NV enabled,
but being in the EL1&0 translation regime.

This is usually expressed as:

if (vcpu_has_nv(vcpu) && !is_hyp_ctxt(vcpu) ... )

which is a mouthful and a bit hard to read, specially when followed
by additional conditions.

Introduce a new helper that encapsulate these two terms, allowing
the above to be written as

if (is_nested_context(vcpu) ... )

which is both shorter and easier to read, and makes more obvious
the potential for simplification on some code paths.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"As far as x86 goes this pull request "only" includes TDX host support.

Quotes are appropriate because (at 6k lines and 100+ commits) it is
much bigger than the rest, which will come later this week and
consists mostly of bugfixes and selftests. s390 changes will also come
in the second batch.

ARM:

- Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests
when pKVM is enabled, clawing back some performance.

- Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it,
though it is disabled by default.

- Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE
and protected modes.

- Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
them with the effects of control bits. While this has no functional
impact, it ensures correctness of emulation (the data is
automatically extracted from the published JSON files), and helps
dealing with the evolution of the architecture.

- Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,
avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's
vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above.

- New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules

- Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests
even if the host didn't have it.

- Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be
rather buggy in some specific contexts.

- Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N
from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a
number of issues in the process.

- Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a
guest.

- Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the
kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly
bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW.

- Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers
from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2
are heavily synchronised.

- Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS
tables in a human-friendly fashion.

- and the usual random cleanups.

LoongArch:

- Don't flush tlb if the host supports hardware page table walks.

- Add KVM selftests support.

RISC-V:

- Add vector registers to get-reg-list selftest

- VCPU reset related improvements

- Remove scounteren initialization from VCPU reset

- Support VCPU reset from userspace using set_mpstate() ioctl

x86:

- Initial support for TDX in KVM.

This finally makes it possible to use the TDX module to run
confidential guests on Intel processors. This is quite a large
series, including support for private page tables (managed by the
TDX module and mirrored in KVM for efficiency), forwarding some
TDVMCALLs to userspace, and handling several special VM exits from
the TDX module.

This has been in the works for literally years and it's not really
possible to describe everything here, so I'll defer to the various
merge commits up to and including commit 7bcf7246c42a ('Merge
branch 'kvm-tdx-finish-initial' into HEAD')"

KVM: arm64: nv: Handle VNCR_EL2-triggered faults

As VNCR_EL2.BADDR contains a VA, it is bound to trigger faults.

These faults can have multiple source:

- We haven't mapped anything on the host: we need to compute the
resulting translation, populate a TLB, and eventually map
the corresponding page

- The permissions are out of whack: we need to tell the guest about
this state of affairs

Note that the kernel doesn't support S1POE for itself yet, so
the particular case of a VNCR page mapped with no permissions
or with write-only permissions is not correctly handled yet.
