[ Upstream commit 76d58e0f07ec203bbdfcaabd9a9fc10a5a3ed5ea ]

If a memory slot's size is not a multiple of 64 pages (256K), then
the KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG API is unusable: clearing the final 64 pages
either requires the requested page range to go beyond memslot-&gt;npages,
or requires log-&gt;num_pages to be unaligned, and kvm_clear_dirty_log_protect
requires log-&gt;num_pages to be both in range and aligned.

To allow this case, allow log-&gt;num_pages not to be a multiple of 64 if
it ends exactly on the last page of the slot.

<title>KVM: Reject device ioctls from processes other than the VM's creator</title>

commit ddba91801aeb5c160b660caed1800eb3aef403f8 upstream.

KVM's API requires thats ioctls must be issued from the same process
that created the VM.  In other words, userspace can play games with a
VM's file descriptors, e.g. fork(), SCM_RIGHTS, etc..., but only the
creator can do anything useful.  Explicitly reject device ioctls that
are issued by a process other than the VM's creator, and update KVM's
API documentation to extend its requirements to device ioctls.

<title>x86/kvm/hyper-v: Introduce KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID</title>

<content type='text'>
With every new Hyper-V Enlightenment we implement we're forced to add a
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_* capability. While this approach works it is fairly
inconvenient: the majority of the enlightenments we do have corresponding
CPUID feature bit(s) and userspace has to know this anyways to be able to
expose the feature to the guest.

Add KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl (backed by KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID, "one
cap to rule them all!") returning all Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves.

Using the existing KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID doesn't seem to be possible:
Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves intersect with KVM's (e.g. 0x40000000,
0x40000001) and we would probably confuse userspace in case we decide to
return these twice.

KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID's number is interim: we're intended to drop
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_STIMER_DIRECT and use its number instead.

<title>kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect</title>

There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG.  First, and less important,
it can take kvm-&gt;mmu_lock for an extended period of time.  Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases.  The latter is due
to a benign race like this:

  1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
     them.
  2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
  3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
  4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
     they were not written to since (3).

This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial.  This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns.  Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page.  The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

 "ARM:
   - Improved guest IPA space support (32 to 52 bits)

   - RAS event delivery for 32bit

   - PMU fixes

   - Guest entry hardening

   - Various cleanups

   - Port of dirty_log_test selftest

  PPC:
   - Nested HV KVM support for radix guests on POWER9. The performance
     is much better than with PR KVM. Migration and arbitrary level of
     nesting is supported.

   - Disable nested HV-KVM on early POWER9 chips that need a particular
     hardware bug workaround

   - One VM per core mode to prevent potential data leaks

   - PCI pass-through optimization

   - merge ppc-kvm topic branch and kvm-ppc-fixes to get a better base

  s390:
   - Initial version of AP crypto virtualization via vfio-mdev

   - Improvement for vfio-ap

   - Set the host program identifier

   - Optimize page table locking

  x86:
   - Enable nested virtualization by default

   - Implement Hyper-V IPI hypercalls

   - Improve #PF and #DB handling

   - Allow guests to use Enlightened VMCS

   - Add migration selftests for VMCS and Enlightened VMCS

   - Allow coalesced PIO accesses

   - Add an option to perform nested VMCS host state consistency check
     through hardware

   - Automatic tuning of lapic_timer_advance_ns

This is a per-VM capability which can be enabled by userspace so that
the faulting linear address will be included with the information
about a pending #PF in L2, and the "new DR6 bits" will be included
with the information about a pending #DB in L2. With this capability
enabled, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #PF before CR2 is
modified. Under VMX, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #DB before
DR6 and DR7 are modified.

When userspace has enabled KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, it should
generally provide an appropriate payload when injecting a #PF or #DB
exception via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS. However, to support restoring old
checkpoints, this payload is not required.

Note that bit 16 of the "new DR6 bits" is set to indicate that a debug
exception (#DB) or a breakpoint exception (#BP) occurred inside an RTM
region while advanced debugging of RTM transactional regions was
enabled. This is the reverse of DR6.RTM, which is cleared in this
scenario.

This capability also enables exception.pending in struct
kvm_vcpu_events, which allows userspace to distinguish between pending
and injected exceptions.
