Exit to userspace for TDG.VP.VMCALL<GetTdVmCallInfo> via KVM_EXIT_TDX,
to allow userspace to provide information about the support of
TDVMCALLs when r12 is 1 for the TDVMCALLs beyond the GHCI base API.
GHCI spec defines the GHCI base TDVMCALLs: <GetTdVmCallInfo>, <MapGPA>,
<ReportFatalError>, <Instruction.CPUID>, <#VE.RequestMMIO>,
<Instruction.HLT>, <Instruction.IO>, <Instruction.RDMSR> and
<Instruction.WRMSR>. They must be supported by VMM to support TDX guests.
For GetTdVmCallInfo
- When leaf (r12) to enumerate TDVMCALL functionality is set to 0,
successful execution indicates all GHCI base TDVMCALLs listed above are
supported.
Update the KVM TDX document with the set of the GHCI base APIs.
- When leaf (r12) to enumerate TDVMCALL functionality is set to 1, it
indicates the TDX guest is querying the supported TDVMCALLs beyond
the GHCI base TDVMCALLs.
Exit to userspace to let userspace set the TDVMCALL sub-function bit(s)
accordingly to the leaf outputs. KVM could set the TDVMCALL bit(s)
supported by itself when the TDVMCALLs don't need support from userspace
after returning from userspace and before entering guest. Currently, no
such TDVMCALLs implemented, KVM just sets the values returned from
userspace.

Handle TDVMCALL for GetQuote to generate a TD-Quote.
GetQuote is a doorbell-like interface used by TDX guests to request VMM
to generate a TD-Quote signed by a service hosting TD-Quoting Enclave
operating on the host. A TDX guest passes a TD Report (TDREPORT_STRUCT) in
a shared-memory area as parameter. Host VMM can access it and queue the
operation for a service hosting TD-Quoting enclave. When completed, the
Quote is returned via the same shared-memory area.
KVM only checks the GPA from the TDX guest has the shared-bit set and drops
the shared-bit before exiting to userspace to avoid bleeding the shared-bit
into KVM's exit ABI. KVM forwards the request to userspace VMM (e.g. QEMU)
and userspace VMM queues the operation asynchronously. KVM sets the return
code according to the 'ret' field set by userspace to notify the TDX guest
whether the request has been queued successfully or not. When the request
has been queued successfully, the TDX guest can poll the status field in
the shared-memory area to check whether the Quote generation is completed
or not. When completed, the generated Quote is returned via the same
buffer.
Add KVM_EXIT_TDX as a new exit reason to userspace. Userspace is
required to handle the KVM exit reason as the initial support for TDX,
by reentering KVM to ensure that the TDVMCALL is complete. While at it,
add a note that KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL also requires reentry with KVM_RUN.

* New features:
- Add large stage-2 mapping support for non-protected pKVM guests,
clawing back some performance.
- Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE and
protected modes.
- Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it
(yes, it has been a long time coming), though it is disabled by
default.
* Improvements, fixes and cleanups:
- Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
them with the effects of control bits. This 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.
Starting in the 6.15 kernel, VMBus interrupts are automatically
assigned away from a CPU that is being taken offline. Add documentation
describing this case.
Also add details of Hyper-V behavior when the primary channel of
a VMBus device is closed as the result of unbinding the device's
driver. This behavior has not changed, but it was not previously
documented.

Add a toggleable VM capability to reset the VCPU from userspace by
setting MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED through IOCTL.
Reset through a mp_state to avoid adding a new IOCTL.
Do not reset on a transition from STOPPED to RUNNABLE, because it's
better to avoid side effects that would complicate userspace adoption.
The MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED is not a permanent mp_state -- IOCTL resets
the VCPU while preserving the original mp_state -- because we wouldn't
gain much from having a new state it in the rest of KVM, but it's a very
non-standard use of the IOCTL.

Add support for KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT on SVM CPUs with Bus Lock
Threshold, which is close enough to VMX's Bus Lock Detection VM-Exit to
allow reusing KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT.
The biggest difference between the two features is that Threshold is
fault-like, whereas Detection is trap-like. To allow the guest to make
forward progress, Threshold provides a per-VMCB counter which is
decremented every time a bus lock occurs, and a VM-Exit is triggered if
and only if the counter is '0'.
To provide Detection-like semantics, initialize the counter to '0', i.e.
exit on every bus lock, and when re-executing the guilty instruction, set
the counter to '1' to effectively step past the instruction.
Note, in the unlikely scenario that re-executing the instruction doesn't
trigger a bus lock, e.g. because the guest has changed memory types or
patched the guilty instruction, the bus lock counter will be left at '1',
i.e. the guest will be able to do a bus lock on a different instruction.
In a perfect world, KVM would ensure the counter is '0' if the guest has
made forward progress, e.g. if RIP has changed. But trying to close that
hole would incur non-trivial complexity, for marginal benefit; the intent
of KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT is to allow userspace rate-limit bus locks,
not to allow for precise detection of problematic guest code. And, it's
simply not feasible to fully close the hole, e.g. if an interrupt arrives
before the original instruction can re-execute, the guest could step past
a different bus lock.

As long as we had purely EL1 VMs, we could easily update the number
of guest-visible counters by letting userspace write to PMCR_EL0.N.
With VMs started at EL2, PMCR_EL1.N only reflects MDCR_EL2.HPMN,
and we don't have a good way to limit it.
For this purpose, introduce a new PMUv3 attribute that allows
limiting the maximum number of counters. This requires the explicit
selection of a PMU.

This large commit contains the initial support for TDX in KVM. All x86
parts enable the host-side hypercalls that KVM uses to talk to the TDX
module, a software component that runs in a special CPU mode called SEAM
(Secure Arbitration Mode).
The series is in turn split into multiple sub-series, each with a separate
merge commit:
- Initialization: basic setup for using the TDX module from KVM, plus
ioctls to create TDX VMs and vCPUs.
- MMU: in TDX, private and shared halves of the address space are mapped by
different EPT roots, and the private half is managed by the TDX module.
Using the support that was added to the generic MMU code in 6.14,
add support for TDX's secure page tables to the Intel side of KVM.
Generic KVM code takes care of maintaining a mirror of the secure page
tables so that they can be queried efficiently, and ensuring that changes
are applied to both the mirror and the secure EPT.
- vCPU enter/exit: implement the callbacks that handle the entry of a TDX
vCPU (via the SEAMCALL TDH.VP.ENTER) and the corresponding save/restore
of host state.
- Userspace exits: introduce support for guest TDVMCALLs that KVM forwards to
userspace. These correspond to the usual KVM_EXIT_* "heavyweight vmexits"
but are triggered through a different mechanism, similar to VMGEXIT for
SEV-ES and SEV-SNP.
- Interrupt handling: support for virtual interrupt injection as well as
handling VM-Exits that are caused by vectored events. Exclusive to
TDX are machine-check SMIs, which the kernel already knows how to
handle through the kernel machine check handler (commit 7911f145de,
"x86/mce: Implement recovery for errors in TDX/SEAM non-root mode")
- Loose ends: handling of the remaining exits from the TDX module, including
EPT violation/misconfig and several TDVMCALL leaves that are handled in
the kernel (CPUID, HLT, RDMSR/WRMSR, GetTdVmCallInfo); plus returning
an error or ignoring operations that are not supported by TDX guests

KVM Xen changes for 6.15
- Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are initiated by
the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs where KVM can write to
guest memory at unexpected times, e.g. during vCPU creation if userspace has
set the Xen hypercall MSR index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates.
- Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR indx to the unofficial synthetic range to
reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are emulated by KVM
(collisions can still happen as KVM emulates Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside
in the synthetic range).
- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and xen_hvm_config.
- Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying the CPUID
entries when updating PV clocks, as there is no guarantee PV clocks will be
updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID emulation, and guest reads
of Xen TSC should be rare, i.e. are not a hot path.
Introduce an Intel specific quirk KVM_X86_QUIRK_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT to have
KVM ignore guest PAT when this quirk is enabled.
On AMD platforms, KVM always honors guest PAT. On Intel however there are
two issues. First, KVM *cannot* honor guest PAT if CPU feature self-snoop
is not supported. Second, UC access on certain Intel platforms can be very
slow[1] and honoring guest PAT on those platforms may break some old
guests that accidentally specify video RAM as UC. Those old guests may
never expect the slowness since KVM always forces WB previously. See [2].
So, introduce a quirk that KVM can enable by default on all Intel platforms
to avoid breaking old unmodifiable guests. Newer userspace can disable this
quirk if it wishes KVM to honor guest PAT; disabling the quirk will fail
if self-snoop is not supported, i.e. if KVM cannot obey the wish.
The quirk is a no-op on AMD and also if any assigned devices have
non-coherent DMA. This is not an issue, as KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED is
another example of a quirk that is sometimes automatically disabled.

is requesting a termination with the error information, KVM needs to
forward the hypercall to userspace anyway, KVM doesn't do parsing or
conversion, it just dumps the 16 general-purpose registers to userspace
and let userspace decide what to do.

The VGIC maintenance IRQ signals various conditions about the LRs, when
the GIC's virtualization extension is used.
So far we didn't need it, but nested virtualization needs to know about
this interrupt, so add a userland interface to setup the IRQ number.
The architecture mandates that it must be a PPI, on top of that this code
only exports a per-device option, so the PPI is the same on all VCPUs.

The vendor_hyp_bmap bitmap holds the information about the Vendor Hyp
services available to the user space and can be get/set using
{G, S}ET_ONE_REG interfaces. This is done using the pseudo-firmware
bitmap register KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BMAP.
At present, this bitmap is a 64 bit one and since the function numbers
for newly added DISCOVER_IPML_* hypercalls are 64-65, introduce
another pseudo-firmware bitmap register KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BMAP_2.

One of the not-so-obvious requirements for restoring a VM is ensuring
that the vITS has been restored _before_ creating any irqbypass mappings.
This is because KVM needs to get the guest translation for MSIs to
correctly assemble the vLPI mapping getting installed in the physical
ITS.
Document the restore ordering requirements necessary for GICv4 vLPI
injection to work.

KVM's treatment of the ID registers that describe the implementation
(MIDR, REVIDR, and AIDR) is interesting, to say the least. On the
userspace-facing end of it, KVM presents the values of the boot CPU on
all vCPUs and treats them as invariant. On the guest side of things KVM
presents the hardware values of the local CPU, which can change during
CPU migration in a big-little system.
While one may call this fragile, there is at least some degree of
predictability around it. For example, if a VMM wanted to present
big-little to a guest, it could affine vCPUs accordingly to the correct
clusters.
All of this makes a giant mess out of adding support for making these
implementation ID registers writable. Avoid breaking the rather subtle
ABI around the old way of doing things by requiring opt-in from
userspace to make the registers writable.
When the cap is enabled, allow userspace to set MIDR, REVIDR, and AIDR
to any non-reserved value and present those values consistently across
all vCPUs.

Reject userspace attempts to set the Xen hypercall page MSR to an index
outside of the "standard" virtualization range [0x40000000, 0x4fffffff],
as KVM is not equipped to handle collisions with real MSRs, e.g. KVM
doesn't update MSR interception, conflicts with VMCS/VMCB fields, special
case writes in KVM, etc.
While the MSR index isn't strictly ABI, i.e. can theoretically float to
any value, in practice no known VMM sets the MSR index to anything other
than 0x40000000 or 0x40000200.

Don't force SPTE modifications to be done atomically if the only volatile
bit in the SPTE is the Accessed bit. KVM and the primary MMU tolerate
stale aging state, and the probability of an Accessed bit A/D assist being
clobbered *and* affecting again is likely far lower than the probability
of consuming stale information due to not flushing TLBs when aging.
Rename spte_has_volatile_bits() to spte_needs_atomic_update() to better
capture the nature of the helper.
Opportunstically do s/write/update on the TDP MMU wrapper, as it's not
simply the "write" that needs to be done atomically, it's the entire
update, i.e. the entire read-modify-write operation needs to be done
atomically so that KVM has an accurate view of the old SPTE.
Leave kvm_tdp_mmu_write_spte_atomic() as is. While the name is imperfect,
it pairs with kvm_tdp_mmu_write_spte(), which in turn pairs with
kvm_tdp_mmu_read_spte(). And renaming all of those isn't obviously a net
positive, and would require significant churn.

Pull KVM/arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"New features:
- Support for non-protected guest in protected mode, achieving near
feature parity with the non-protected mode
- Support for the EL2 timers as part of the ongoing NV support
- Allow control of hardware tracing for nVHE/hVHE
Improvements, fixes and cleanups:
- Massive cleanup of the debug infrastructure, making it a bit less
awkward and definitely easier to maintain. This should pave the way
for further optimisations
- Complete rewrite of pKVM's fixed-feature infrastructure, aligning
it with the rest of KVM and making the code easier to follow
- Large simplification of pKVM's memory protection infrastructure
- Better handling of RES0/RES1 fields for memory-backed system
registers
- Add a workaround for Qualcomm's Snapdragon X CPUs, which suffer
from a pretty nasty timer bug
- Small collection of cleanups and low-impact fixes"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Loongarch:
- Clear LLBCTL if secondary mmu mapping changes
- Add hypercall service support for usermode VMM
x86:
- Add a comment to kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() to explain why KVM
performs a direct call to kvm_tdp_page_fault() when RETPOLINE is
enabled
- Ensure that all SEV code is compiled out when disabled in Kconfig,
even if building with less brilliant compilers
- Remove a redundant TLB flush on AMD processors when guest CR4.PGE
changes
- Use str_enabled_disabled() to replace open coded strings
- Drop kvm_x86_ops.hwapic_irr_update() as KVM updates hardware's
APICv cache prior to every VM-Enter
- Overhaul KVM's CPUID feature infrastructure to track all vCPU
capabilities instead of just those where KVM needs to manage state
and/or explicitly enable the feature in hardware. Along the way,
refactor the code to make it easier to add features, and to make it
more self-documenting how KVM is handling each feature
- Rework KVM's handling of VM-Exits during event vectoring; this
plugs holes where KVM unintentionally puts the vCPU into infinite
loops in some scenarios (e.g. if emulation is triggered by the
exit), and brings parity between VMX and SVM
- Add pending request and interrupt injection information to the
kvm_exit and kvm_entry tracepoints respectively
- Fix a relatively benign flaw where KVM would end up redoing RDPKRU
when loading guest/host PKRU, due to a refactoring of the kernel
helpers that didn't account for KVM's pre-checking of the need to
do WRPKRU
- Make the completion of hypercalls go through the complete_hypercall
function pointer argument, no matter if the hypercall exits to
userspace or not.
Previously, the code assumed that KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE specifically
went to userspace, and all the others did not; the new code need
not special case KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE and in fact does not care at
all whether there was an exit to userspace or not
- As part of enabling TDX virtual machines, support support
separation of private/shared EPT into separate roots.
When TDX will be enabled, operations on private pages will need to
go through the privileged TDX Module via SEAMCALLs; as a result,
they are limited and relatively slow compared to reading a PTE.
The patches included in 6.14 allow KVM to keep a mirror of the
private EPT in host memory, and define entries in kvm_x86_ops to
operate on external page tables such as the TDX private EPT
- The recently introduced conversion of the NX-page reclamation
kthread to vhost_task moved the task under the main process. The
task is created as soon as KVM_CREATE_VM was invoked and this, of
course, broke userspace that didn't expect to see any child task of
the VM process until it started creating its own userspace threads.
In particular crosvm refuses to fork() if procfs shows any child
task, so unbreak it by creating the task lazily. This is arguably a
userspace bug, as there can be other kinds of legitimate worker
tasks and they wouldn't impede fork(); but it's not like userspace
has a way to distinguish kernel worker tasks right now. Should they
show as "Kthread: 1" in proc/.../status?
x86 - Intel:
- Fix a bug where KVM updates hardware's APICv cache of the highest
ISR bit while L2 is active, while ultimately results in a
hardware-accelerated L1 EOI effectively being lost
- Honor event priority when emulating Posted Interrupt delivery
during nested VM-Enter by queueing KVM_REQ_EVENT instead of
immediately handling the interrupt
- Rework KVM's processing of the Page-Modification Logging buffer to
reap entries in the same order they were created, i.e. to mark gfns
dirty in the same order that hardware marked the page/PTE dirty
- Misc cleanups
Generic:
- Cleanup and harden kvm_set_memory_region(); add proper lockdep
assertions when setting memory regions and add a dedicated API for
setting KVM-internal memory regions. The API can then explicitly
disallow all flags for KVM-internal memory regions
- Explicitly verify the target vCPU is online in kvm_get_vcpu() to
fix a bug where KVM would return a pointer to a vCPU prior to it
being fully online, and give kvm_for_each_vcpu() similar treatment
to fix a similar flaw
- Wait for a vCPU to come online prior to executing a vCPU ioctl, to
fix a bug where userspace could coerce KVM into handling the ioctl
on a vCPU that isn't yet onlined
- Gracefully handle xarray insertion failures; even though such
failures are impossible in practice after xa_reserve(), reserving
an entry is always followed by xa_store() which does not know (or
differentiate) whether there was an xa_reserve() before or not
RISC-V:
- Zabha, Svvptc, and Ziccrse extension support for guests. None of
them require anything in KVM except for detecting them and marking
them as supported; Zabha adds byte and halfword atomic operations,
while the others are markers for specific operation of the TLB and
of LL/SC instructions respectively
- Virtualize SBI system suspend extension for Guest/VM
- Support firmware counters which can be used by the guests to
collect statistics about traps that occur in the host
Selftests:
- Rework vcpu_get_reg() to return a value instead of using an
out-param, and update all affected arch code accordingly
- Convert the max_guest_memory_test into a more generic
mmu_stress_test. The basic gist of the "conversion" is to have the
test do mprotect() on guest memory while vCPUs are accessing said
memory, e.g. to verify KVM and mmu_notifiers are working as
intended
- Play nice with treewrite builds of unsupported architectures, e.g.
arm (32-bit), as KVM selftests' Makefile doesn't do anything to
ensure the target architecture is actually one KVM selftests
supports
- Use the kernel's $(ARCH) definition instead of the target triple
for arch specific directories, e.g. arm64 instead of aarch64,
mainly so as not to be different from the rest of the kernel
- Ensure that format strings for logging statements are checked by
the compiler even when the logging statement itself is disabled
- Attempt to whack the last LLC references/misses mole in the Intel
PMU counters test by adding a data load and doing CLFLUSH{OPT} on
the data instead of the code being executed. It seems that modern
Intel CPUs have learned new code prefetching tricks that bypass the
PMU counters
- Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that
events are counting correctly without actually knowing what the
events count given the underlying hardware; this can happen if
Intel reuses a formerly microarchitecture-specific event encoding
as an architectural event, as was the case for Top-Down Slots"
