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"

non-running vCPUs if and only if the target vCPU is block

KVM: SVM: Generate GA log IRQs only if the associated vCPUs is blocking

Configure IRTEs to GA log interrupts for device posted IRQs that hit
non-running vCPUs if and only if the target vCPU is blocking, i.e.
actually needs a wake event. If the vCPU has exited to userspace or was
preempted, generating GA log entries and interrupts is wasteful and
unnecessary, as the vCPU will be re-loaded and/or scheduled back in
irrespective of the GA log notification (avic_ga_log_notifier() is just a
fancy wrapper for kvm_vcpu_wake_up()).

Use a should-be-zero bit in the vCPU's Physical APIC ID Table Entry to
track whether or not the vCPU's associated IRTEs are configured to
generate GA logs, but only set the synthetic bit in KVM's "cache", i.e.
never set the should-be-zero bit in tables that are used by hardware.
Use a synthetic bit instead of a dedicated boolean to minimize the odds
of messing up the locking, i.e. so that all the existing rules that apply
to avic_physical_id_entry for IS_RUNNING are reused verbatim for
GA_LOG_INTR.

Note, because KVM (by design) "puts" AVIC state in a "pre-blocking"
phase, using kvm_vcpu_is_blocking() to track the need for notifications
isn't a viable option.

KVM: SVM: Drop pointless masking of kernel page pa's with AVIC HPA masks

Drop AVIC_HPA_MASK and all its users, the mask is just the 4KiB-aligned
maximum theoretical physical address for x86-64 CPUs, as x86-64 is
currently defined (going beyond PA52 would require an entirely new paging
mode, which would arguably create a new, different architecture).

All usage in KVM masks the result of page_to_phys(), which on x86-64 is
guaranteed to be 4KiB aligned and a legal physical address; if either of
those requirements doesn't hold true, KVM has far bigger problems.

Drop masking the avic_backing_page with
AVIC_PHYSICAL_ID_ENTRY_BACKING_PAGE_MASK for all the same reasons, but
keep the macro even though it's unused in functional code. It's a
distinct architectural define, and having the definition in software
helps visualize the layout of an entry. And to be hyper-paranoid about
MAXPA going beyond 52, add a compile-time assert to ensure the kernel's
maximum supported physical address stays in bounds.

The unnecessary masking in avic_init_vmcb() also incorrectly assumes that
SME's C-bit resides between bits 51:11; that holds true for current CPUs,
but isn't required by AMD's architecture:

In some implementations, the bit used may be a physical address bit

Key word being "may".

Opportunistically use the GENMASK_ULL() version for
AVIC_PHYSICAL_ID_ENTRY_BACKING_PAGE_MASK, which is far more readable
than a set of repeating Fs.

KVM: SVM: Add architectural definitions/assets for Bus Lock Threshold

Virtual machines can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of
the system. Bus locks can be caused by Non-WB(Write back) and
misaligned locked RMW (Read-modify-Write) instructions and require
systemwide synchronization among all processors which can result into
significant performance penalties.

To address this issue, the Bus Lock Threshold feature is introduced to
provide ability to hypervisor to restrict guests' capability of
initiating mulitple buslocks, thereby preventing system slowdowns.

Support for the buslock threshold is indicated via CPUID function
0x8000000A_EDX[29].

On the processors that support the Bus Lock Threshold feature, the
VMCB provides a Bus Lock Threshold enable bit and an unsigned 16-bit
Bus Lock threshold count.

VMCB intercept bit
VMCB Offset Bits Function
14h 5 Intercept bus lock operations

Bus lock threshold count
VMCB Offset Bits Function
120h 15:0 Bus lock counter

When a VMRUN instruction is executed, the bus lock threshold count is
loaded into an internal count register. Before the processor executes
a bus lock in the guest, it checks the value of this register:

- If the value is greater than '0', the processor successfully
executes the bus lock and decrements the count.

- If the value is '0', the bus lock is not executed, and a #VMEXIT to
the VMM is taken.

KVM: SEV: Configure "ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES" VMCB Field

AMD EPYC 5th generation processors have introduced a feature that allows
the hypervisor to control the SEV_FEATURES that are set for, or by, a
guest [1]. ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES can be used by the hypervisor to enforce
that SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests cannot enable features that the
hypervisor does not want to be enabled.

Always enable ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES. A VMRUN will fail if any
non-reserved bits are 1 in SEV_FEATURES but are 0 in
ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES.

Some SEV_FEATURES - currently PmcVirtualization and SecureAvic
(see Appendix B, Table B-4) - require an opt-in via ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES,
i.e. are off-by-default, whereas all other features are effectively
on-by-default, but still honor ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES.
