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();

2025-11-24KVM: arm64: GICv3: Detect and work around the lack of ICV_DIR_EL1 trappingMarc Zyngier
A long time ago, an unsuspecting architect forgot to add a trap bit for ICV_DIR_EL1 in ICH_HCR_EL2. Which was unfortunate, but what's a bit of spec between friends? Thankfully, this was fixed in a later revision, and ARM "deprecates" the lack of trapping ability. Unfortuantely, a few (billion) CPUs went out with that defect, anything ARMv8.0 from ARM, give or take. And on these CPUs, you can't trap DIR on its own, full stop. As the next best thing, we can trap everything in the common group, which is a tad expensive, but hey ho, that's what you get. You can otherwise recycle the HW in the neaby bin.

2025-11-13arm64/sysreg: Add ICH_VMCR_EL2Sascha Bischoff
Add the ICH_VMCR_EL2 register, which is required for the upcoming GICv5 KVM support. This register has two different field encodings, based on if it is used for GICv3 or GICv5-based VMs. The GICv5-specific field encodings are generated with a FEAT_GCIE prefix. This register is already described in the GICv3 KVM code directly. This will be ported across to use the generated encodings as part of an upcoming change.

2025-11-13arm64/sysreg: Move generation of RES0/RES1/UNKN to functionSascha Bischoff
The RESx and UNKN define generation happens in two places (EndSysreg and EndSysregFields), and was using nearly identical code. Split this out into a function, and call that instead, rather then keeping the dupliated code. There are no changes to the generated sysregs as part of this change.

2025-11-13arm64/sysreg: Support feature-specific fields with 'Prefix' descriptorSascha Bischoff
Some system register field encodings change based on, for example the in-use architecture features, or the context in which they are accessed. In order to support these different field encodings, introduce the Prefix descriptor (Prefix, EndPrefix) for describing such sysregs. The Prefix descriptor can be used in the following way: Sysreg EXAMPLE 0 1 2 3 4 Prefix FEAT_A Field 63:0 Foo EndPrefix Prefix FEAT_B Field 63:1 Bar Res0 0 EndPrefix Field 63:0 Baz EndSysreg This will generate a single set of system register encodings (REG_, SYS_, ...), and then generate three sets of field definitions for the system register called EXAMPLE. The first set is prefixed by FEAT_A, e.g. FEAT_A_EXAMPLE_Foo. The second set is prefixed by FEAT_B, e.g., FEAT_B_EXAMPLE_Bar. The third set is not given a prefix at all, e.g. EXAMPLE_BAZ. For each set, a corresponding set of defines for Res0, Res1, and Unkn is generated. The intent for the final prefix-less fields is to describe default or legacy field encodings. This ensure that prefixed encodings can be added to already-present sysregs without affecting existing legacy code. Prefixed fields must be defined before those without a prefix, and this is checked by the generator. This ensures consisnt ordering within the sysregs definitions. The Prefix descriptor can be used within Sysreg or SysregFields blocks. Field, Res0, Res1, Unkn, Rax, SignedEnum, Enum can all be used within a Prefix block. Fields and Mapping can not. Fields that vary with features must be described as part of a SysregFields block, instead. Mappings, which are just a code comment, make little sense in this context, and have hence not been included. There are no changes to the generated system register definitions as part of this change.

2025-11-13arm64/sysreg: Fix checks for incomplete sysreg definitionsSascha Bischoff
The checks for incomplete sysreg definitions were checking if the next_bit was greater than 0, which is incorrect and missed occasions where bit 0 hasn't been defined for a sysreg. The reason is that next_bit is -1 when all bits have been processed (LSB - 1). Change the checks to use >= 0, instead. Also, set next_bit in Mapping to -1 instead of 0 to match these new checks. There are no changes to the generated sysreg definitons as part of this change, and conveniently no definitions lack definitions for bit 0.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "This excludes the bulk of the x86 changes, which I will send separately. They have two not complex but relatively unusual conflicts so I will wait for other dust to settle. guest_memfd: - Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory for VM types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE (which isn't precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have no way to detect private vs. shared). This lays the groundwork for removal of guest memory from the kernel direct map, as well as for limited mmap() for guest_memfd-backed memory. For more information see: - commit a6ad54137af9 ("Merge branch 'guest-memfd-mmap' into HEAD") - guest_memfd in Firecracker: https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/tree/feature/secret-hiding - direct map removal: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250221160728.1584559-1-roypat@amazon.co.uk/ - mmap support: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250328153133.3504118-1-tabba@google.com/ ARM: - Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM, allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload. - Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised data. - Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker. - Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2 payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This will hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups. - Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing to translate a stage-1 walk. - Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform. - Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at least correct. - Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then allows a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host migration. - Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling NV testing. - Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE fix, just in time for the removal of the feature. LoongArch: - Detect page table walk feature on new hardware - Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation - Improve in-kernel IPI emulation - Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation - Move kvm_iocsr tracepoint out of generic code RISC-V: - Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned delegation and pointer masking PMLEN features - Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension - Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM - Enabled more common KVM selftests for RISC-V - Added SBI v3.0 PMU enhancements in KVM and perf driver s390: - Improve interrupt cpu for wakeup, in particular the heuristic to decide which vCPU to deliver a floating interrupt to. - Clear the PTE when discarding a swapped page because of CMMA; this bug was introduced in 6.16 when refactoring gmap code. x86 selftests: - Add #DE coverage in the fastops test (the only exception that's guest- triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions). - Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR), Sierra Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF). - Minor cleanups and improvements x86 (guest side): - For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI auto-mapping could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers from mapping their devices with UC/UC-. - Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its export. - Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated vCPU=>pCPU bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.

Implement the GCIE_LEGACY capability as a system feature to be able to check for support from KVM. The type is explicitly ARM64_CPUCAP_EARLY_LOCAL_CPU_FEATURE, which means that the capability is enabled early if all boot CPUs support it. Additionally, if this capability is enabled during boot, it prevents late onlining of CPUs that lack it, thereby avoiding potential mismatched configurations which would break KVM.

2025-09-11arm64: sysreg: Add validation checks to sysreg header generation scriptFuad Tabba
The gen_sysreg.awk script processes the system register specification in the sysreg text file to generate C macro definitions. The current script will silently accept certain errors in the specification file, leading to incorrect header generation. For example, a Sysreg or SysregFields can be accidentally duplicated, causing its macros to be emitted twice. An Enum can contain duplicate values for different items, which is architecturally incorrect. Add checks to catch these errors at build time. The script now tracks all seen Sysreg and SysregFields definitions and checks for duplicates. It also tracks values within each Enum block to ensure entries are unique.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "ARM: - Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt translation and wired interrupts - Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface - Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally - Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to perform cache maintenance on the address range - Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor - Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven implementation - Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3 system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the ONE_REG vCPU ioctls - Various cleanups and minor fixes LoongArch: - Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip - Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits - Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation - Various cleanups RISC-V: - Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking - Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events - Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode - MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization s390x - Fixes x86: - Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time - Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it against bugs and runtime errors - Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups O(1) instead of O(n) - For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives - Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are more or less identical - Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes, instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps - Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated independently - Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed - Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration) but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo - Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been created, as there's no known use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a "secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone - Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU doesn't use the list) - Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side code for Secure AVIC - Various cleanups and fixes x86 (Intel): - Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests - Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF x86 (AMD): - WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never happen, but still) - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code - Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs - Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake the vCPU - Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the vCPU's CPUID model - Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for KVM to care - Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache maintenance - When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty, encrypted data Generic: - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a "void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult to understand - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device posted IRQs - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd bindings are globally unique - Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues related to private <=> shared memory conversions - Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL - Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep KVM in a tight loop indefinitely - Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation Selftests: - Fix a comment typo - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random parameter not existing) - Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and print a "Root required?" help message.

2025-07-02fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscallsAndrey Albershteyn
Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat() semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended attributes. This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd. This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory and a path - *at() like syscall.
