kvm_xen_schedop_poll does a kmalloc_array() when a VM polls the host
for more than one event channel potr (nr_ports &gt; 1).

After the kmalloc_array(), the error paths need to go through the
"out" label, but the call to kvm_read_guest_virt() does not.

 - Fix a formatting goof in the TDX documentation.

 - Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for guests with a protected TSC (currently only TDX).

 - Ensure struct kvm_tdx_capabilities fields that are not explicitly set by KVM
   are zeroed.

Remove TDVMCALLINFO_GET_QUOTE from user_tdvmcallinfo_1_r11 reported to
userspace to align with the direction of the GHCI spec.

Recently, concern was raised about a gap in the GHCI spec that left
ambiguity in how to expose to the guest that only a subset of GHCI
TDVMCalls were supported. During the back and forth on the spec details[0],
&lt;GetQuote&gt; was moved from an individually enumerable TDVMCall, to one that
is part of the 'base spec', meaning it doesn't have a specific bit in the
&lt;GetTDVMCallInfo&gt; return values. Although the spec[1] is still in draft
form, the GetQoute part has been agreed by the major TDX VMMs.

Unfortunately the commits that were upstreamed still treat &lt;GetQuote&gt; as
individually enumerable. They set bit 0 in the user_tdvmcallinfo_1_r11
which is reported to userspace to tell supported optional TDVMCalls,
intending to say that &lt;GetQuote&gt; is supported.

So stop reporting &lt;GetQute&gt; in user_tdvmcallinfo_1_r11 to align with
the direction of the spec, and allow some future TDVMCall to use that bit.

<title>KVM: VMX: Ensure unused kvm_tdx_capabilities fields are zeroed out</title>

Zero-allocate the kernel's kvm_tdx_capabilities structure and copy only
the number of CPUID entries from the userspace structure.  As is, KVM
doesn't ensure kernel_tdvmcallinfo_1_{r11,r12} and user_tdvmcallinfo_1_r12
are zeroed, i.e. KVM will reflect whatever happens to be in the userspace
structure back at userspace, and thus may report garbage to userspace.

Zeroing the entire kernel structure also provides better semantics for the
reserved field.  E.g. if KVM extends kvm_tdx_capabilities to enumerate new
information by repurposing bytes from the reserved field, userspace would
be required to zero the new field in order to get useful information back
(because older KVMs without support for the repurposed field would report
garbage, a la the aforementioned tdvmcallinfo bugs).

<title>KVM: x86: Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ vCPU ioctl for TSC protected guest</title>

<content type='text'>
Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ vCPU ioctl if guest's TSC is protected and not
changeable by KVM, and update the documentation to reflect it.

For such TSC protected guests, e.g. TDX guests, typically the TSC is
configured once at VM level before any vCPU are created and remains
unchanged during VM's lifetime.  KVM provides the KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ VM
scope ioctl to allow the userspace VMM to configure the TSC of such VM.
After that the userspace VMM is not supposed to call the KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ
vCPU scope ioctl anymore when creating the vCPU.

The de facto userspace VMM Qemu does this for TDX guests.  The upcoming
SEV-SNP guests with Secure TSC should follow.

Note, TDX support hasn't been fully released as of the "buggy" commit,
i.e. there is no established ABI to break.

   - Remove the last leftovers of the ill-fated FPSIMD host state

   - Fix unexpected advertisement to the guest of unimplemented S2 base
     granule sizes

   - Gracefully fail initialising pKVM if the interrupt controller isn't

   - Also gracefully fail initialising pKVM if the carveout allocation
     fails

   - Fix the computing of the minimum MMIO range required for the host
     on stage-2 fault

   - Fix the generation of the GICv3 Maintenance Interrupt in nested
     mode

  x86:

   - Reject SEV{-ES} intra-host migration if one or more vCPUs are
     actively being created, so as not to create a non-SEV{-ES} vCPU in
     an SEV{-ES} VM

   - Use a pre-allocated, per-vCPU buffer for handling de-sparsification
     of vCPU masks in Hyper-V hypercalls; fixes a "stack frame too
     large" issue

   - Allow out-of-range/invalid Xen event channel ports when configuring
     IRQ routing, to avoid dictating a specific ioctl() ordering to
     userspace

   - Conditionally reschedule when setting memory attributes to avoid
     soft lockups when userspace converts huge swaths of memory to/from
     private

   - Add back MWAIT as a required feature for the MONITOR/MWAIT selftest

   - Add a missing field in struct sev_data_snp_launch_start that
     resulted in the guest-visible workarounds field being filled at the
     wrong offset

   - Skip non-canonical address when processing Hyper-V PV TLB flushes

In function kvm_guest_time_update(), __scale_tsc() is used to calculate
a TSC *frequency* rather than a TSC value.  With low-enough ratios,
a TSC value that is less than 1 would underflow to 0 and to an infinite
while loop in kvm_get_time_scale():

  kvm_guest_time_update(struct kvm_vcpu *v)
    if (kvm_caps.has_tsc_control)
      tgt_tsc_khz = kvm_scale_tsc(tgt_tsc_khz,
                                  v-&gt;arch.l1_tsc_scaling_ratio);

          ratio=122380531, tsc=2299998, N=48

In function kvm_guest_time_update(), __scale_tsc() is used to calculate
a TSC *frequency* rather than a TSC value.  With low-enough ratios,
a TSC value that is less than 1 would underflow to 0 and to an infinite
while loop in kvm_get_time_scale():

  kvm_guest_time_update(struct kvm_vcpu *v)
    if (kvm_caps.has_tsc_control)
      tgt_tsc_khz = kvm_scale_tsc(tgt_tsc_khz,
                                  v-&gt;arch.l1_tsc_scaling_ratio);
        __scale_tsc(u64 ratio, u64 tsc)
          ratio=122380531, tsc=2299998, N=48
          ratio*tsc &gt;&gt; N = 0.999... -&gt; 0

Later in the function:

 "Add the mitigation logic for Transient Scheduler Attacks (TSA)

  TSA are new aspeculative side channel attacks related to the execution

  In some cases, an attacker may be able to use this timing information

  Add the usual controls of the mitigation and integrate it into the

<title>KVM: x86/hyper-v: Skip non-canonical addresses during PV TLB flush</title>

<id>fa787ac07b3ceb56dd88a62d1866038498e96230</id>
<content type='text'>
In KVM guests with Hyper-V hypercalls enabled, the hypercalls
HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_LIST and HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_LIST_EX
allow a guest to request invalidation of portions of a virtual TLB.
For this, the hypercall parameter includes a list of GVAs that are supposed
to be invalidated.

However, when non-canonical GVAs are passed, there is currently no
filtering in place and they are eventually passed to checked invocations of
INVVPID on Intel / INVLPGA on AMD.  While AMD's INVLPGA silently ignores
non-canonical addresses (effectively a no-op), Intel's INVVPID explicitly
signals VM-Fail and ultimately triggers the WARN_ONCE in invvpid_error():

  invvpid failed: ext=0x0 vpid=1 gva=0xaaaaaaaaaaaaa000
  WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 326 at arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:482
  invvpid_error+0x91/0xa0 [kvm_intel]
  Modules linked in: kvm_intel kvm 9pnet_virtio irqbypass fuse
  CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 326 Comm: kvm-vm Not tainted 6.15.0 #14 PREEMPT(voluntary)
  RIP: 0010:invvpid_error+0x91/0xa0 [kvm_intel]
  Call Trace:
    vmx_flush_tlb_gva+0x320/0x490 [kvm_intel]
    kvm_hv_vcpu_flush_tlb+0x24f/0x4f0 [kvm]
    kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x3013/0x5810 [kvm]

Hyper-V documents that invalid GVAs (those that are beyond a partition's
GVA space) are to be ignored.  While not completely clear whether this
ruling also applies to non-canonical GVAs, it is likely fine to make that
assumption, and manual testing on Azure confirms "real" Hyper-V interprets
the specification in the same way.

Skip non-canonical GVAs when processing the list of address to avoid
tripping the INVVPID failure.  Alternatively, KVM could filter out "bad"
GVAs before inserting into the FIFO, but practically speaking the only
downside of pushing validation to the final processing is that doing so
is suboptimal for the guest, and no well-behaved guest will request TLB
flushes for non-canonical addresses.
