<title>KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Kick VCPUs when queueing already pending IRQs</title>

<content type='text'>
In cases like IPI, we could be queueing an interrupt for a VCPU
that is already running and is not about to exit, because the
VCPU has entered the VM with the interrupt pending and would
not trap on EOI'ing that interrupt. This could result to delays
in interrupt deliveries or even loss of interrupts.
To guarantee prompt interrupt injection, here we have to try to
kick the VCPU.

<id>112b0b8f8f6e18d4695d21457961c0e1b322a1d7</id>
<content type='text'>
In our VGIC implementation we limit the number of SPIs to a number
that the userland application told us. Accordingly we limit the
allocation of memory for virtual IRQs to that number.
However in our MMIO dispatcher we didn't check if we ever access an
IRQ beyond that limit, leading to out-of-bound accesses.
Add a test against the number of allocated SPIs in check_region().
Adjust the VGIC_ADDR_TO_INT macro to avoid an actual division, which
is not implemented on ARM(32).

The conversion done by commit 3706feacd007 ("KVM: Remove deprecated
create_singlethread_workqueue") is broken.  It flushes a single work
item &amp;irqfd-&gt;shutdown instead of all of them, and even worse if there
is no irqfd on the list then you get a NULL pointer dereference.
Revert the virt/kvm/eventfd.c part of that patch; to avoid the
deprecated function, just allocate our own workqueue---it does
not even have to be unbound---with alloc_workqueue.

<title>mm: unexport __get_user_pages()</title>

<id>0d7317598214134d73da59990b846481a9527a00</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function.

Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be
passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to
this function from its one user, kvm.

We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace
__get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call
stacks:

  get_user_page_nowait():
    get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
    __get_user_pages_locked(current, current-&gt;mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
    __get_user_pages(current, current-&gt;mm, start, 1,
		     flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)

  check_user_page_hwpoison():
    get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
    __get_user_pages_locked(current, current-&gt;mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
    __get_user_pages(current, current-&gt;mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL,

This removes the redundant 'write' and 'force' parameters from
__get_user_pages_unlocked() to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in
callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and
hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

look at its data structures or flush/sync anything to the GIC hardware.

If userspace creates a PMU for the VCPU, but doesn't create an in-kernel
irqchip, then we end up in a nasty path where we try to take an
uninitialized spinlock, which can lead to all sorts of breakages.

Luckily, QEMU always creates the VGIC before the PMU, so we can
establish this as ABI and check for the VGIC in the PMU init stage.
This can be relaxed at a later time if we want to support PMU with a
userspace irqchip.
