<id>87ad7cc9aa7f0a202189640c5015aa985e7e8f3b</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix the build of non-kernel code that includes the RISC-V ptrace uapi
header, and the RISC-V validate_v_ptrace.c kselftest, by using the
_BITUL() macro rather than BIT().  BIT() is not available outside
the kernel.

Based on patches and comments from Charlie Jenkins, Michael Neuling,
and Andreas Schwab.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Loongarch:

   - Add more CPUCFG mask bits

   - Improve feature detection

   - Add lazy load support for FPU and binary translation (LBT) register
     state

   - Fix return value for memory reads from and writes to in-kernel
     devices

   - Add support for detecting preemption from within a guest

   - Add KVM steal time test case to tools/selftests

  ARM:

   - Add support for FEAT_IDST, allowing ID registers that are not
     implemented to be reported as a normal trap rather than as an UNDEF
     exception

   - Add sanitisation of the VTCR_EL2 register, fixing a number of
     UXN/PXN/XN bugs in the process

   - Full handling of RESx bits, instead of only RES0, and resulting in
     SCTLR_EL2 being added to the list of sanitised registers

   - More pKVM fixes for features that are not supposed to be exposed to
     guests

   - Make sure that MTE being disabled on the pKVM host doesn't give it
     the ability to attack the hypervisor

   - Allow pKVM's host stage-2 mappings to use the Force Write Back
     version of the memory attributes by using the "pass-through'
     encoding

   - Fix trapping of ICC_DIR_EL1 on GICv5 hosts emulating GICv3 for the
     guest

   - Preliminary work for guest GICv5 support

   - A bunch of debugfs fixes, removing pointless custom iterators
     stored in guest data structures

   - A small set of FPSIMD cleanups

   - Selftest fixes addressing the incorrect alignment of page
     allocation

   - Other assorted low-impact fixes and spelling fixes

  RISC-V:

   - Fixes for issues discoverd by KVM API fuzzing in
     kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(), kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr(), and
     kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update()

   - Allow Zalasr, Zilsd and Zclsd extensions for Guest/VM

   - Transparent huge page support for hypervisor page tables

   - Adjust the number of available guest irq files based on MMIO
     register sizes found in the device tree or the ACPI tables

   - Add RISC-V specific paging modes to KVM selftests

   - Detect paging mode at runtime for selftests

  s390:

   - Performance improvement for vSIE (aka nested virtualization)

   - Completely new memory management. s390 was a special snowflake that
     enlisted help from the architecture's page table management to
     build hypervisor page tables, in particular enabling sharing the
     last level of page tables. This however was a lot of code (~3K
     lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features.
     The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is
     completely independent of the page size used by the guest:
     userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit,
     and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's
     also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages
     running on the same host

   - Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci

   - Small quality of life improvement for protected guests

  x86:

   - Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware
     (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing
     direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model).

     KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce
     event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive
     host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of
     contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less
     overhead.

     For more information, see the commit message for merge commit
     bf2c3138ae36 ("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' ...")

   - Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all
     the same reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first
     KVM_RUN

   - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV
     MSRs when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled,
     even if those were advertised as supported to userspace,

   - Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs,
     where KVM would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry

   - Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM
     (for x86 only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL.
     Only a few exports that are intended for external usage, and those
     are allowed explicitly

   - When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore
     -EBUSY instead of WARNing. Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU
     into what should be an impossible state, and spurious exit to
     userspace on -EBUSY does not really do anything to solve the issue

   - Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being
     blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in
     playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller stuffing architecturally
     impossible states into KVM

   - Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything
     beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace

   - Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2

   - Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the
     intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to
     unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration

   - Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI
     broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest
     (currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC).
     Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an
     option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior
     (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or
     not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs)

   - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty

   - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's
     unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered
     by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless

   - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to
     make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to
     allow fropping these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n

   - Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including
     KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y

   - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes

   - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in
     kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to
     co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR
     information

   - Drop a dead function declaration

   - Minor cleanups

  x86 (Intel):

   - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to
     temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until
     the next nested VM-Exit.

     The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs,
     was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in
     auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting
     "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans

   - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page
     faults, and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM
     doesn't shadow EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM
     interference and can't be resolved by KVM

   - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup
     handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed

   - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported,
     mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other
     features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that
     conditionally exist

   - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to
     load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch

  x86 (AMD):

   - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure

   - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of
     ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM
     to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must*
     flush the RAP

   - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported
     according to L1's virtual CPU model

   - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's
     fastpath for EPT Misconfig

   - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently
     of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0

   - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM

   - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace

   - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when
     emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2

   - Misc fixes and cleanups

  x86 selftests:

   - Add a regression test for TPR&lt;=&gt;CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking

   - Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU
     support, and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT
     (for L2 guests)

   - Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM

   - Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE

   - Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression
     test for PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to
     improve test coverage and to hopefully make the test easier to
     understand and maintain

  guest_memfd:

   - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked
     hugepage handling. SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it
     can do it via the RMP

   - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that
     KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the
     source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for
     something that no known VMM seems to be doing and to avoid an API
     special case for in-place conversion, which simply can't support
     unaligned sources

   - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common
     code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead
     of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a
     looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee
     mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock

  Generic:

   - Fix a bug where KVM would ignore the vCPU's selected address space
     when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. Actually
     this bug could not be hit even on x86, the only architecture with
     multiple address spaces, but it's a bug nevertheless"

   - Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE

   - Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression
     test for PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to
     improve test coverage and to hopefully make the test easier to
     understand and maintain

  guest_memfd:

   - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked
     hugepage handling. SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it
     can do it via the RMP

   - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that
     KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the
     source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for
     something that no known VMM seems to be doing and to avoid an API
     special case for in-place conversion, which simply can't support
     unaligned sources

   - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common
     code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead
     of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a
     looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee
     mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock

  Generic:

   - Fix a bug where KVM would ignore the vCPU's selected address space
     when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. Actually
     this bug could not be hit even on x86, the only architecture with
     multiple address spaces, but it's a bug nevertheless"

RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_IMA_EXT_1, along with the framework to set the

Expose a new register type NT_RISCV_USER_CFI for risc-v CFI status and
state. Intentionally, both landing pad and shadow stack status and
state are rolled into the CFI state. Creating two different
NT_RISCV_USER_XXX would not be useful and would waste a note
type. Enabling, disabling and locking the CFI feature is not allowed
via ptrace set interface. However, setting 'elp' state or setting
shadow stack pointer are allowed via the ptrace set interface.  It is
expected that 'gdb' might need to fixup 'elp' state or 'shadow stack'
pointer.

<title>riscv/signal: save and restore the shadow stack on a signal</title>

<id>66c9c713de597f9b40a319ebda4d3466ce2cdff0</id>
<content type='text'>
Save the shadow stack pointer in the sigcontext structure when
delivering a signal.  Restore the shadow stack pointer from sigcontext
on sigreturn.

As part of the save operation, the kernel uses the 'ssamoswap'
instruction to save a snapshot of the current shadow stack on the
shadow stack itself (this can be called a "save token"). During
restore on sigreturn, the kernel retrieves the save token from the top
of the shadow stack and validates it. This ensures that user mode
can't arbitrarily pivot to any shadow stack address without having a
token and thus provides a strong security assurance during the window
between signal delivery and sigreturn.

Use an ABI-compatible way of saving/restoring the shadow stack pointer
into the signal stack. This follows the vector extension, where extra
registers are placed in a form of extension header + extension body in
the stack.  The extension header indicates the size of the extra
architectural states plus the size of header itself, and a magic
identifier for the extension. Then, the extension body contains the
new architectural states in the form defined by uapi.

<id>51d90a15fedf8366cb96ef68d0ea2d0bf15417d2</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts
     (SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a
     non-fatal manner

   - Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
     supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers
     in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
     deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
     one that acked the IRQ

   - Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
     FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
     table walkers and shadow MMU

   - Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long
     need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM

   - Minor fixes to KVM and selftests

  Loongarch:

   - Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register

   - Add AVEC basic support

   - Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC

   - Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests

  RISC/V:

   - SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest

   - Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
     AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file

   - Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
     in small chunks

   - Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions

   - Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores

  s390:

   - Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
     starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
     addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits
     (and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was
     introduced by z114/z196 in 2010

   - VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support

   - Operation exception forwarding support

   - Cleanups

  x86:

   - Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO
     SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to
     zap

   - Relocate a misplaced export

   - Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue
     when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when
     handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM

   - Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
     virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown,
     keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the
     MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the
     CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down

   - Use the checked version of {get,put}_user()

   - Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for
     periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host

   - Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
     clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections

   - Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the
     latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS

   - Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast
     path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to
     paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been
     fixed

   - Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with
     emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with
     large multi-byte instructions

  x86 (AMD):

   - Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs

   - Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation

   - Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode

   - Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking
     intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions

   - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
     on VMRUN and #VMEXIT

   - Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting
     a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the
     VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3

   - Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits
     to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that
     don't require any actual support from KVM

  x86 (Intel):

   - Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of
     the current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to
     pave the way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT
     flushes on pCPU migration if the root is clean from a previous
     flush

   - Add a few missing nested consistency checks

   - Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware
     as the functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer
     useful in general; replace it with an off-by-default module param
     to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform

   - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's
     SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter

   - Misc cleanups

   - Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting
     on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention
     in the TDX-Module; KVM was either working around these in weird,
     ugly ways, or was simply oblivious to them (though even Yan's
     devilish selftests could only break individual VMs, not the host
     kernel)

   - Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a
     TDX vCPU, if creating said vCPU failed partway through

   - Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL)

   - Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace

   - Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR
     values if the TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber
     host MSRs as expected

  Selftests:

   - Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU
     system/VM

   - Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with
     specifying ARCH=x86_64 on the command line

   - Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well

   - Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test
     to verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using
     5-level paging, but L2 is not

   - Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core
     logic for nested EPT and nested NPT

  guest_memfd:

   - Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety
     of rough edges in guest_memfd along the way

   - Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a
     guest_memfd from a memslot to make it harder to leak references

   - Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug
     selftests like those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where
     test and/or KVM bugs often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors

   - Misc cleanups

  Generic:

   - Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU
     workqueue for irqfd cleanup

   - Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation

   - Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to
     kvm_vcpu_on_spin(); the function was always starting from the first
     vCPU instead of continuing the round-robin search"

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts
     (SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a
     non-fatal manner

   - Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
     supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers
     in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
     deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
     one that acked the IRQ

   - Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
     FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
     table walkers and shadow MMU

   - Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long
     need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM

   - Minor fixes to KVM and selftests

  Loongarch:

   - Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register

   - Add AVEC basic support

   - Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC

   - Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests

  RISC/V:

   - SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest

   - Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
     AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file

   - Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
     in small chunks

   - Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions

   - Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores

  s390:

   - Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
     starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
     addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits
     (and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was
     introduced by z114/z196 in 2010

   - VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support

   - Operation exception forwarding support

   - Cleanups

  x86:

   - Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO
     SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to
     zap

   - Relocate a misplaced export

   - Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue
     when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when
     handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM

   - Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
     virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown,
     keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the
     MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the
     CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down

   - Use the checked version of {get,put}_user()

   - Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for
     periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host

   - Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
     clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections

   - Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the
     latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS

   - Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast
     path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to
     paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been
     fixed

   - Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with
     emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with
     large multi-byte instructions

  x86 (AMD):

   - Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs

   - Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation

   - Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode

   - Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking
     intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions

   - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
     on VMRUN and #VMEXIT

   - Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting
     a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the
     VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3

   - Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits
     to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that
     don't require any actual support from KVM

  x86 (Intel):
