<content type='text'>
Drop lookup_address_in_mm() now that KVM is providing it's own variant
of lookup_address_in_pgd() that is safe for use with user addresses, e.g.
guards against page tables being torn down.  A variant that provides a
non-init mm is inherently dangerous and flawed, as the only reason to use
an mm other than init_mm is to walk a userspace mapping, and
lookup_address_in_pgd() does not play nice with userspace mappings, e.g.
doesn't disable IRQs to block TLB shootdowns and doesn't use READ_ONCE()
to ensure an upper level entry isn't converted to a huge page between
checking the PAGE_SIZE bit and grabbing the address of the next level
down.

This reverts commit 13c72c060f1ba6f4eddd7b1c4f52a8aded43d6d9.

<title>KVM: SEV: add cache flush to solve SEV cache incoherency issues</title>
<updated>2022-04-21T19:41:00+00:00</updated>
<author>

<id>683412ccf61294d727ead4a73d97397396e69a6b</id>
<content type='text'>
Flush the CPU caches when memory is reclaimed from an SEV guest (where
reclaim also includes it being unmapped from KVM's memslots).  Due to lack
of coherency for SEV encrypted memory, failure to flush results in silent
data corruption if userspace is malicious/broken and doesn't ensure SEV
guest memory is properly pinned and unpinned.

Cache coherency is not enforced across the VM boundary in SEV (AMD APM
vol.2 Section 15.34.7). Confidential cachelines, generated by confidential
VM guests have to be explicitly flushed on the host side. If a memory page
containing dirty confidential cachelines was released by VM and reallocated
to another user, the cachelines may corrupt the new user at a later time.

KVM takes a shortcut by assuming all confidential memory remain pinned
until the end of VM lifetime. Therefore, KVM does not flush cache at
mmu_notifier invalidation events. Because of this incorrect assumption and
the lack of cache flushing, malicous userspace can crash the host kernel:
creating a malicious VM and continuously allocates/releases unpinned
confidential memory pages when the VM is running.

Add cache flush operations to mmu_notifier operations to ensure that any
physical memory leaving the guest VM get flushed. In particular, hook
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and mmu_notifier_release events and
flush cache accordingly. The hook after releasing the mmu lock to avoid
contention with other vCPUs.

When resuming from system sleep state, restore_processor_state()
restores the boot CPU MSRs. These MSRs could be emulated by microcode.
If microcode is not loaded yet, writing to emulated MSRs leads to
unchecked MSR access error:

 "Two x86 fixes related to TSX:

   - Use either MSR_TSX_FORCE_ABORT or MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL to disable TSX
     to cover all CPUs which allow to disable it.

   - Disable TSX development mode at boot so that a microcode update

<title>mm/vmalloc: fix spinning drain_vmap_work after reading from /proc/vmcore</title>

Commit 3ee48b6af49c ("mm, x86: Saving vmcore with non-lazy freeing of
vmas") introduced set_iounmap_nonlazy(), which sets vmap_lazy_nr to
lazy_max_pages() + 1, ensuring that any future vunmaps() immediately
purge the vmap areas instead of doing it lazily.

Commit 690467c81b1a ("mm/vmalloc: Move draining areas out of caller
context") moved the purging from the vunmap() caller to a worker thread.
Unfortunately, set_iounmap_nonlazy() can cause the worker thread to spin
(possibly forever).  For example, consider the following scenario:

 1. Thread reads from /proc/vmcore. This eventually calls
    __copy_oldmem_page() -&gt; set_iounmap_nonlazy(), which sets
    vmap_lazy_nr to lazy_max_pages() + 1.

 2. Then it calls free_vmap_area_noflush() (via iounmap()), which adds 2
    pages (one page plus the guard page) to the purge list and
    vmap_lazy_nr. vmap_lazy_nr is now lazy_max_pages() + 3, so the
    drain_vmap_work is scheduled.

 3. Thread returns from the kernel and is scheduled out.

 4. Worker thread is scheduled in and calls drain_vmap_area_work(). It
    frees the 2 pages on the purge list. vmap_lazy_nr is now
    lazy_max_pages() + 1.

 5. This is still over the threshold, so it tries to purge areas again,
    but doesn't find anything.

 6. Repeat 5.

If the system is running with only one CPU (which is typicial for kdump)
and preemption is disabled, then this will never make forward progress:
there aren't any more pages to purge, so it hangs.  If there is more
than one CPU or preemption is enabled, then the worker thread will spin
forever in the background.  (Note that if there were already pages to be
purged at the time that set_iounmap_nonlazy() was called, this bug is
avoided.)

This can be reproduced with anything that reads from /proc/vmcore
multiple times.  E.g., vmcore-dmesg /proc/vmcore.

It turns out that improvements to vmap() over the years have obsoleted
the need for this "optimization".  I benchmarked `dd if=/proc/vmcore
of=/dev/null` with 4k and 1M read sizes on a system with a 32GB vmcore.
The test was run on 5.17, 5.18-rc1 with a fix that avoided the hang, and
5.18-rc1 with set_iounmap_nonlazy() removed entirely:

    |5.17  |5.18+fix|5.18+removal
  4k|40.86s|  40.09s|      26.73s
  1M|24.47s|  23.98s|      21.84s

The removal was the fastest (by a wide margin with 4k reads).  This
patch removes set_iounmap_nonlazy().
