commit 5b76a3cff011df2dcb6186c965a2e4d809a05ad4 upstream

When nested virtualization is in use, VMENTER operations from the nested
hypervisor into the nested guest will always be processed by the bare metal
hypervisor, and KVM's "conditional cache flushes" mode in particular does a
flush on nested vmentry.  Therefore, include the "skip L1D flush on
vmentry" bit in KVM's suggested ARCH_CAPABILITIES setting.

Add the relevant Documentation.

commit 8e0b2b916662e09dd4d09e5271cdf214c6b80e62 upstream

Bit 3 of ARCH_CAPABILITIES tells a hypervisor that L1D flush on vmentry is
not needed.  Add a new value to enum vmx_l1d_flush_state, which is used
either if there is no L1TF bug at all, or if bit 3 is set in ARCH_CAPABILITIES.

commit 518e7b94817abed94becfe6a44f1ece0d4745afe upstream

Linux (among the others) has checks to make sure that certain features
aren't enabled on a certain family/model/stepping if the microcode version
isn't greater than or equal to a known good version.

By exposing the real microcode version, we're preventing buggy guests that
don't check that they are running virtualized (i.e., they should trust the
hypervisor) from disabling features that are effectively not buggy.

<title>KVM: SVM: Add MSR-based feature support for serializing LFENCE</title>

commit d1d93fa90f1afa926cb060b7f78ab01a65705b4d upstream

In order to determine if LFENCE is a serializing instruction on AMD
processors, MSR 0xc0011029 (MSR_F10H_DECFG) must be read and the state
of bit 1 checked.  This patch will add support to allow a guest to
properly make this determination.

Add the MSR feature callback operation to svm.c and add MSR 0xc0011029
to the list of MSR-based features.  If LFENCE is serializing, then the
feature is supported, allowing the hypervisor to set the value of the
MSR that guest will see.  Support is also added to write (hypervisor only)
and read the MSR value for the guest.  A write by the guest will result in
a #GP.  A read by the guest will return the value as set by the host.  In
this way, the support to expose the feature to the guest is controlled by
the hypervisor.

commit 18b57ce2eb8c8b9a24174a89250cf5f57c76ecdc upstream

For VMEXITs caused by external interrupts, vmx_handle_external_intr()
indirectly calls into the interrupt handlers through the host's IDT.

It follows that these interrupts get accounted for in the
kvm_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d per-cpu flag.

The subsequently executed vmx_l1d_flush() will thus be aware that some
interrupts have happened and conduct a L1d flush anyway.

Setting l1tf_flush_l1d from vmx_handle_external_intr() isn't needed
anymore. Drop it.

commit 45b575c00d8e72d69d75dd8c112f044b7b01b069 upstream

Part of the L1TF mitigation for vmx includes flushing the L1D cache upon
VMENTRY.

L1D flushes are costly and two modes of operations are provided to users:
"always" and the more selective "conditional" mode.

If operating in the latter, the cache would get flushed only if a host side
code path considered unconfined had been traversed. "Unconfined" in this
context means that it might have pulled in sensitive data like user data
or kernel crypto keys.

The need for L1D flushes is tracked by means of the per-vcpu flag
l1tf_flush_l1d. KVM exit handlers considered unconfined set it. A
vmx_l1d_flush() subsequently invoked before the next VMENTER will conduct a
L1d flush based on its value and reset that flag again.

Currently, interrupts delivered "normally" while in root operation between
VMEXIT and VMENTER are not taken into account. Part of the reason is that
these don't leave any traces and thus, the vmx code is unable to tell if
any such has happened.

As proposed by Paolo Bonzini, prepare for tracking all interrupts by
introducing a new per-cpu flag, "kvm_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d". It will be in
strong analogy to the per-vcpu -&gt;l1tf_flush_l1d.

A later patch will make interrupt handlers set it.

For the sake of cache locality, group kvm_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d into x86'
per-cpu irq_cpustat_t as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

Provide the helpers kvm_set_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d(),
kvm_clear_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d() and kvm_get_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d(). Make them
trivial resp. non-existent for !CONFIG_KVM_INTEL as appropriate.

Let vmx_l1d_flush() handle kvm_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d in the same way as
l1tf_flush_l1d.

commit 45b575c00d8e72d69d75dd8c112f044b7b01b069 upstream

Part of the L1TF mitigation for vmx includes flushing the L1D cache upon
VMENTRY.

L1D flushes are costly and two modes of operations are provided to users:
"always" and the more selective "conditional" mode.

If operating in the latter, the cache would get flushed only if a host side
code path considered unconfined had been traversed. "Unconfined" in this
context means that it might have pulled in sensitive data like user data
or kernel crypto keys.

The need for L1D flushes is tracked by means of the per-vcpu flag
l1tf_flush_l1d. KVM exit handlers considered unconfined set it. A
vmx_l1d_flush() subsequently invoked before the next VMENTER will conduct a
L1d flush based on its value and reset that flag again.

Currently, interrupts delivered "normally" while in root operation between
VMEXIT and VMENTER are not taken into account. Part of the reason is that
these don't leave any traces and thus, the vmx code is unable to tell if
any such has happened.

As proposed by Paolo Bonzini, prepare for tracking all interrupts by
introducing a new per-cpu flag, "kvm_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d". It will be in
strong analogy to the per-vcpu -&gt;l1tf_flush_l1d.

A later patch will make interrupt handlers set it.

For the sake of cache locality, group kvm_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d into x86'
per-cpu irq_cpustat_t as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

Provide the helpers kvm_set_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d(),
kvm_clear_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d() and kvm_get_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d(). Make them
trivial resp. non-existent for !CONFIG_KVM_INTEL as appropriate.

Let vmx_l1d_flush() handle kvm_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d in the same way as
l1tf_flush_l1d.

commit 5b6ccc6c3b1a477fbac9ec97a0b4c1c48e765209 upstream

Currently, vmx_vcpu_run() checks if l1tf_flush_l1d is set and invokes
vmx_l1d_flush() if so.

This test is unncessary for the "always flush L1D" mode.

Move the check to vmx_l1d_flush()'s conditional mode code path.

Notes:
- vmx_l1d_flush() is likely to get inlined anyway and thus, there's no
  extra function call.

- This inverts the (static) branch prediction, but there hadn't been any
  explicit likely()/unlikely() annotations before and so it stays as is.
