git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD
KVM/arm64 updates for 6.7
- Generalized infrastructure for 'writable' ID registers, effectively
allowing userspace to opt-out of certain vCPU features for its guest
- Optimization for vSGI injection, opportunistically compressing MPIDR
to vCPU mapping into a table
- Improvements to KVM's PMU emulation, allowing userspace to select
the number of PMCs available to a VM
- Guest support for memory operation instructions (FEAT_MOPS)
- Cleanups to handling feature flags in KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT, squashing
bugs and getting rid of useless code
- Changes to the way the SMCCC filter is constructed, avoiding wasted
memory allocations when not in use
- Load the stage-2 MMU context at vcpu_load() for VHE systems, reducing
the overhead of errata mitigations
- Miscellaneous kernel and selftest fixes
|
|
KVM x86 Documentation updates for 6.7:
- Fix various typos, notably a confusing reference to the non-existent
"struct kvm_vcpu_event" (the actual structure is kvm_vcpu_events, plural).
- Update x86's kvm_mmu_page documentation to bring it closer to the code
(this raced with the removal of async zapping and so the documentation is
already stale; my bad).
- Document the behavior of x86 PMU filters on fixed counters.

KVM/arm64 has a couple schemes for handling vCPU feature selection now,
which is a lot to put on userspace. Add some documentation about how
these interact and provide some recommendations for how to use the
writable ID register scheme.

It goes without saying, but it is probably better to spell it out:
If userspace tries to restore and VM, but creates vcpus and/or RDs
in a different order, the vcpu/RD mapping will be different. Yes,
our API is an ugly piece of crap and I can't believe that we missed
this.
If we want to relax the above, we'll need to define a new userspace
API that allows the mapping to be specified, rather than relying
on the kernel to perform the mapping on its own.

Update the documentation for the KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER ioctl
to include a detailed description of how fixed performance events
are handled in the pmu filter. The action and fixed_counter_bitmap
members of the pmu filter to determine whether fixed performance
events can be programmed by the guest. This information is helpful
for correctly configuring the fixed_counter_bitmap and action fields
to filter fixed performance events.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Clean up vCPU targets, always returning generic v8 as the preferred
target
- Trap forwarding infrastructure for nested virtualization (used for
traps that are taken from an L2 guest and are needed by the L1
hypervisor)
- FEAT_TLBIRANGE support to only invalidate specific ranges of
addresses when collapsing a table PTE to a block PTE. This avoids
that the guest refills the TLBs again for addresses that aren't
covered by the table PTE.
- Fix vPMU issues related to handling of PMUver.
- Don't unnecessary align non-stack allocations in the EL2 VA space
- Drop HCR_VIRT_EXCP_MASK, which was never used...
- Don't use smp_processor_id() in kvm_arch_vcpu_load(), but the cpu
parameter instead
- Drop redundant call to kvm_set_pfn_accessed() in user_mem_abort()
- Remove prototypes without implementations
RISC-V:
- Zba, Zbs, Zicntr, Zicsr, Zifencei, and Zihpm support for guest
- Added ONE_REG interface for SATP mode
- Added ONE_REG interface to enable/disable multiple ISA extensions
- Improved error codes returned by ONE_REG interfaces
- Added KVM_GET_REG_LIST ioctl() implementation for KVM RISC-V
- Added get-reg-list selftest for KVM RISC-V
s390:
- PV crypto passthrough enablement (Tony, Steffen, Viktor, Janosch)
Allows a PV guest to use crypto cards. Card access is governed by
the firmware and once a crypto queue is "bound" to a PV VM every
other entity (PV or not) looses access until it is not bound
anymore. Enablement is done via flags when creating the PV VM.
- Guest debug fixes (Ilya)
x86:
- Clean up KVM's handling of Intel architectural events
- Intel bugfixes
- Add support for SEV-ES DebugSwap, allowing SEV-ES guests to use
debug registers and generate/handle #DBs
- Clean up LBR virtualization code
- Fix a bug where KVM fails to set the target pCPU during an IRTE
update
- Fix fatal bugs in SEV-ES intrahost migration
- Fix a bug where the recent (architecturally correct) change to
reinject #BP and skip INT3 broke SEV guests (can't decode INT3 to
skip it)
- Retry APIC map recalculation if a vCPU is added/enabled
- Overhaul emergency reboot code to bring SVM up to par with VMX, tie
the "emergency disabling" behavior to KVM actually being loaded,
and move all of the logic within KVM
- Fix user triggerable WARNs in SVM where KVM incorrectly assumes the
TSC ratio MSR cannot diverge from the default when TSC scaling is
disabled up related code
- Add a framework to allow "caching" feature flags so that KVM can
check if the guest can use a feature without needing to search
guest CPUID
- Rip out the ancient MMU_DEBUG crud and replace the useful bits with
CONFIG_KVM_PROVE_MMU
- Fix KVM's handling of !visible guest roots to avoid premature
triple fault injection
- Overhaul KVM's page-track APIs, and KVMGT's usage, to reduce the
API surface that is needed by external users (currently only
KVMGT), and fix a variety of issues in the process
Generic:
- Wrap kvm_{gfn,hva}_range.pte in a union to allow mmu_notifier
events to pass action specific data without needing to constantly
update the main handlers.
- Drop unused function declarations
Selftests:
- Add testcases to x86's sync_regs_test for detecting KVM TOCTOU bugs
- Add support for printf() in guest code and covert all guest asserts
to use printf-based reporting
- Clean up the PMU event filter test and add new testcases
- Include x86 selftests in the KVM x86 MAINTAINERS entry"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM64:
- Eager page splitting optimization for dirty logging, optionally
allowing for a VM to avoid the cost of hugepage splitting in the
stage-2 fault path.
- Arm FF-A proxy for pKVM, allowing a pKVM host to safely interact
with services that live in the Secure world. pKVM intervenes on
FF-A calls to guarantee the host doesn't misuse memory donated to
the hyp or a pKVM guest.
- Support for running the split hypervisor with VHE enabled, known as
'hVHE' mode. This is extremely useful for testing the split
hypervisor on VHE-only systems, and paves the way for new use cases
that depend on having two TTBRs available at EL2.
- Generalized framework for configurable ID registers from userspace.
KVM/arm64 currently prevents arbitrary CPU feature set
configuration from userspace, but the intent is to relax this
limitation and allow userspace to select a feature set consistent
with the CPU.
- Enable the use of Branch Target Identification (FEAT_BTI) in the
hypervisor.
- Use a separate set of pointer authentication keys for the
hypervisor when running in protected mode, as the host is untrusted
at runtime.
- Ensure timer IRQs are consistently released in the init failure
paths.
- Avoid trapping CTR_EL0 on systems with Enhanced Virtualization
Traps (FEAT_EVT), as it is a register commonly read from userspace.
- Erratum workaround for the upcoming AmpereOne part, which has
broken hardware A/D state management.
RISC-V:
- Redirect AMO load/store misaligned traps to KVM guest
- Trap-n-emulate AIA in-kernel irqchip for KVM guest
- Svnapot support for KVM Guest

- New uvdevice secret API
- CMM selftest and fixes

- Use standard mmu_notifier hooks for handling APIC access page
- Drop now unnecessary TR/TSS load after VM-Exit on AMD
- Print more descriptive information about the status of SEV and
SEV-ES during module load
- Add a test for splitting and reconstituting hugepages during and
after dirty logging
- Add support for CPU pinning in demand paging test
- Add support for AMD PerfMonV2, with a variety of cleanups and minor
fixes included along the way
- Add a "nx_huge_pages=never" option to effectively avoid creating NX
hugepage recovery threads (because nx_huge_pages=off can be toggled
at runtime)
- Move handling of PAT out of MTRR code and dedup SVM+VMX code

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"s390:
- More phys_to_virt conversions
- Improvement of AP management for VSIE (nested virtualization)
ARM64:
- Numerous fixes for the pathological lock inversion issue that
plagued KVM/arm64 since... forever.
- New framework allowing SMCCC-compliant hypercalls to be forwarded
to userspace, hopefully paving the way for some more features being
moved to VMMs rather than be implemented in the kernel.
- Large rework of the timer code to allow a VM-wide offset to be
applied to both virtual and physical counters as well as a
per-timer, per-vcpu offset that complements the global one. This
last part allows the NV timer code to be implemented on top.
- A small set of fixes to make sure that we don't change anything
affecting the EL1&0 translation regime just after having having
taken an exception to EL2 until we have executed a DSB. This
ensures that speculative walks started in EL1&0 have completed.
- The usual selftest fixes and improvements.
x86:
- Optimize CR0.WP toggling by avoiding an MMU reload when TDP is
enabled, and by giving the guest control of CR0.WP when EPT is
enabled on VMX (VMX-only because SVM doesn't support per-bit
controls)
- Add CR0/CR4 helpers to query single bits, and clean up related code
where KVM was interpreting kvm_read_cr4_bits()'s "unsigned long"
return as a bool
- Move AMD_PSFD to cpufeatures.h and purge KVM's definition
- Avoid unnecessary writes+flushes when the guest is only adding new
PTEs
- Overhaul .sync_page() and .invlpg() to utilize .sync_page()'s
optimizations when emulating invalidations
- Clean up the range-based flushing APIs
- Revamp the TDP MMU's reaping of Accessed/Dirty bits to clear a
single A/D bit using a LOCK AND instead of XCHG, and skip all of
the "handle changed SPTE" overhead associated with writing the
entire entry
- Track the number of "tail" entries in a pte_list_desc to avoid
having to walk (potentially) all descriptors during insertion and
deletion, which gets quite expensive if the guest is spamming
fork()
- Disallow virtualizing legacy LBRs if architectural LBRs are
available, the two are mutually exclusive in hardware
- Disallow writes to immutable feature MSRs (notably
PERF_CAPABILITIES) after KVM_RUN, similar to CPUID features
- Overhaul the vmx_pmu_caps selftest to better validate
PERF_CAPABILITIES
- Apply PMU filters to emulated events and add test coverage to the
pmu_event_filter selftest
- AMD SVM:
- Add support for virtual NMIs
- Fixes for edge cases related to virtual interrupts
- Intel AMX:
- Don't advertise XTILE_CFG in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID if
XTILE_DATA is not being reported due to userspace not opting in
via prctl()
- Fix a bug in emulation of ENCLS in compatibility mode
- Allow emulation of NOP and PAUSE for L2
- AMX selftests improvements
- Misc cleanups
MIPS:
- Constify MIPS's internal callbacks (a leftover from the hardware
enabling rework that landed in 6.3)

When returning to userspace to handle a SMCCC call, we consistently
set PC to point to the instruction immediately after the HVC/SMC.
However, should userspace need to know the exact address of the
trapping instruction, it needs to know about the *size* of that
instruction. For AArch64, this is pretty easy. For AArch32, this
is a bit more funky, as Thumb has 16bit encodings for both HVC
and SMC.
Expose this to userspace with a new flag that directly derives
from ESR_EL2.IL. Also update the documentation to reflect the PC
state at the point of exit.
Finally, this fixes a small buglet where the hypercall.{args,ret}
fields would not be cleared on exit, and could contain some
random junk.

As the SMCCC (and related specifications) march towards an 'everything
and the kitchen sink' interface for interacting with a system it becomes
less likely that KVM will support every related feature. We could do
better by letting userspace have a crack at it instead.
Allow userspace to define an 'SMCCC filter' that applies to both HVCs
and SMCs initiated by the guest. Supporting both conduits with this
interface is important for a couple of reasons. Guest SMC usage is table
stakes for a nested guest, as HVCs are always taken to the virtual EL2.
Additionally, guests may want to interact with a service on the secure
side which can now be proxied by userspace.

In anticipation of user hypercall filters, add the necessary plumbing to
get SMCCC calls out to userspace. Even though the exit structure has
space for KVM to pass register arguments, let's just avoid it altogether
and let userspace poke at the registers via KVM_GET_ONE_REG.
This deliberately stretches the definition of a 'hypercall' to cover
SMCs from EL1 in addition to the HVCs we know and love. KVM doesn't
support EL1 calls into secure services, but now we can paint that as a
userspace problem and be done with it.
Finally, we need a flag to let userspace know what conduit instruction
was used (i.e. SMC vs. HVC).

The 'longmode' field is a bit annoying as it blows an entire __u32 to
represent a boolean value. Since other architectures are looking to add
support for KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL, now is probably a good time to clean it
up.
Redefine the field (and the remaining padding) as a set of flags.
Preserve the existing ABI by using bit 0 to indicate if the guest was in
long mode and requiring that the remaining 31 bits must be zero.
