Some of the statistics values exported by KVM are always only 0 or 1.
It can be useful to export this fact to userspace so that it can track
them specially (for example by polling the value every now and then to
compute a % of time spent in a specific state).
Therefore, add "boolean value" as a new "unit". While it is not exactly
a unit, it walks and quacks like one. In particular, using the type
would be wrong because boolean values could be instantaneous or peak
values (e.g. "is the rmap allocated?") or even two-bucket histograms
(e.g. "number of posted vs. non-posted interrupt injections").

For TDX guests, the maximum number of vcpus needs to be specified when the
TDX guest VM is initialized (creating the TDX data corresponding to TDX
guest) before creating vcpu. It needs to record the maximum number of
vcpus on VM creation (KVM_CREATE_VM) and return error if the number of
vcpus exceeds it
Because there is already max_vcpu member in arm64 struct kvm_arch, move it
to common struct kvm and initialize it to KVM_MAX_VCPUS before
kvm_arch_init_vm() instead of adding it to x86 struct kvm_arch.

Flush the CPU caches when memory is reclaimed from an SEV guest (where
reclaim also includes it being unmapped from KVM's memslots). Due to lack
of coherency for SEV encrypted memory, failure to flush results in silent
data corruption if userspace is malicious/broken and doesn't ensure SEV
guest memory is properly pinned and unpinned.
Cache coherency is not enforced across the VM boundary in SEV (AMD APM
vol.2 Section 15.34.7). Confidential cachelines, generated by confidential
VM guests have to be explicitly flushed on the host side. If a memory page
containing dirty confidential cachelines was released by VM and reallocated
to another user, the cachelines may corrupt the new user at a later time.
KVM takes a shortcut by assuming all confidential memory remain pinned
until the end of VM lifetime. Therefore, KVM does not flush cache at
mmu_notifier invalidation events. Because of this incorrect assumption and
the lack of cache flushing, malicous userspace can crash the host kernel:
creating a malicious VM and continuously allocates/releases unpinned
confidential memory pages when the VM is running.
Add cache flush operations to mmu_notifier operations to ensure that any
physical memory leaving the guest VM get flushed. In particular, hook
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and mmu_notifier_release events and
flush cache accordingly. The hook after releasing the mmu lock to avoid
contention with other vCPUs.

Add wrappers to acquire/release KVM's SRCU lock when stashing the index
in vcpu->src_idx, along with rudimentary detection of illegal usage,
e.g. re-acquiring SRCU and thus overwriting vcpu->src_idx. Because the
SRCU index is (currently) either 0 or 1, illegal nesting bugs can go
unnoticed for quite some time and only cause problems when the nested
lock happens to get a different index.
Wrap the WARNs in PROVE_RCU=y, and make them ONCE, otherwise KVM will
likely yell so loudly that it will bring the kernel to its knees.

Clean it up to return -errno on error consistently, while still being
compatible with the return conventions for kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic()
and the kvm_set_irq() callback.
We use -ENOTCONN to indicate when the port is masked. No existing users
care, except that it's negative.
Also allow it to optimise the vCPU lookup. Unless we abuse the lapic
map, there is no quick lookup from APIC ID to a vCPU; the logic in
kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() will just iterate over all vCPUs till it finds
the one it wants. So do that just once and stash the result in the
struct kvm_xen_evtchn for next time.

It isn't OK to cache the dirty status of a page in internal structures
for an indefinite period of time.
Any time a vCPU exits the run loop to userspace might be its last; the
VMM might do its final check of the dirty log, flush the last remaining
dirty pages to the destination and complete a live migration. If we
have internal 'dirty' state which doesn't get flushed until the vCPU
is finally destroyed on the source after migration is complete, then
we have lost data because that will escape the final copy.
This problem already exists with the use of kvm_vcpu_unmap() to mark
pages dirty in e.g. VMX nesting.
Note that the actual Linux MM already considers the page to be dirty
since we have a writeable mapping of it. This is just about the KVM
dirty logging.
For the nesting-style use cases (KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN) we will need to
track which gfn_to_pfn_caches have been used and explicitly mark the
corresponding pages dirty before returning to userspace. But we would
have needed external tracking of that anyway, rather than walking the
full list of GPCs to find those belonging to this vCPU which are dirty.
So let's rely *solely* on that external tracking, and keep it simple
rather than laying a tempting trap for callers to fall into.

Replace the guest_uses_pa and kernel_map booleans in the PFN cache code
with a unified enum/bitmask. Using explicit names makes it easier to

Opportunistically add a WARN to prevent passing garbage; instantating a

Don't actually set a request bit in vcpu->requests when making a request
purely to force a vCPU to exit the guest. Logging a request but not
actually consuming it would cause the vCPU to get stuck in an infinite
loop during KVM_RUN because KVM would see the pending request and bail
from VM-Enter to service the request.
Note, it's currently impossible for KVM to set KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE as
nothing in KVM is wired up to set guest_uses_pa=true. But, it'd be all
too easy for arch code to introduce use of kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_init()
without implementing handling of the request, especially since getting
test coverage of MMU notifier interaction with specific KVM features
usually requires a directed test.
Opportunistically rename gfn_to_pfn_cache_invalidate_start()'s wake_vcpus
to evict_vcpus. The purpose of the request is to get vCPUs out of guest
mode, it's supposed to _avoid_ waking vCPUs that are blocking.
Opportunistically rename KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE to be more specific as to
what it wants to accomplish, and to genericize the name so that it can
used for similar but unrelated scenarios, should they arise in the future.
Add a comment and documentation to explain why the "no action" request
exists.
Add compile-time assertions to help detect improper usage. Use the inner
assertless helper in the one s390 path that makes requests without a
hardcoded request.

Remove the generic kvm_reload_remote_mmus() and open code its
functionality into the two x86 callers. x86 is (obviously) the only
architecture that uses the hook, and is also the only architecture that
uses KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD in a way that's consistent with the name. That
will change in a future patch, as x86's usage when zapping a single
shadow page x86 doesn't actually _need_ to reload all vCPUs' MMUs, only
MMUs whose root is being zapped actually need to be reloaded.
s390 also uses KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD, but for a slightly different purpose.
Drop the generic code in anticipation of implementing s390 and x86 arch
specific requests, which will allow dropping KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD entirely.
Opportunistically reword the x86 TDP MMU comment to avoid making
references to functions (and requests!) when possible, and to remove the
rather ambiguous "this".
No functional change intended.

When transitioning to/from guest mode, it is necessary to inform
lockdep, tracing, and RCU in a specific order, similar to the
requirements for transitions to/from user mode. Additionally, it is
necessary to perform vtime accounting for a window around running the
guest, with RCU enabled, such that timer interrupts taken from the guest
can be accounted as guest time.
Most architectures don't handle all the necessary pieces, and a have a
number of common bugs, including unsafe usage of RCU during the window
between guest_enter() and guest_exit().
On x86, this was dealt with across commits:
87fa7f3e98a1310e ("x86/kvm: Move context tracking where it belongs")
0642391e2139a2c1 ("x86/kvm/vmx: Add hardirq tracing to guest enter/exit")
9fc975e9efd03e57 ("x86/kvm/svm: Add hardirq tracing on guest enter/exit")
3ebccdf373c21d86 ("x86/kvm/vmx: Move guest enter/exit into .noinstr.text")
135961e0a7d555fc ("x86/kvm/svm: Move guest enter/exit into .noinstr.text")
160457140187c5fb ("KVM: x86: Defer vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling")
bc908e091b326467 ("KVM: x86: Consolidate guest enter/exit logic to common helpers")
... but those fixes are specific to x86, and as the resulting logic
(while correct) is split across generic helper functions and
x86-specific helper functions, it is difficult to see that the
entry/exit accounting is balanced.
This patch adds generic helpers which architectures can use to handle
guest entry/exit consistently and correctly. The guest_{enter,exit}()
helpers are split into guest_timing_{enter,exit}() to perform vtime
accounting, and guest_context_{enter,exit}() to perform the necessary
context tracking and RCU management. The existing guest_{enter,exit}()
heleprs are left as wrappers of these.
Atop this, new guest_state_enter_irqoff() and guest_state_exit_irqoff()
helpers are added to handle the ordering of lockdep, tracing, and RCU
manageent. These are inteneded to mirror exit_to_user_mode() and
enter_from_user_mode().
Subsequent patches will migrate architectures over to the new helpers,
following a sequence:
guest_timing_enter_irqoff();
guest_state_enter_irqoff();
< run the vcpu >
guest_state_exit_irqoff();
< take any pending IRQs >
guest_timing_exit_irqoff();
This sequences handles all of the above correctly, and more clearly
balances the entry and exit portions, making it easier to understand.
The existing helpers are marked as deprecated, and will be removed once
all architectures have been converted.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Move the seemingly generic block_vcpu_list from kvm_vcpu to vcpu_vmx, and
rename the list and all associated variables to clarify that it tracks
the set of vCPU that need to be poked on a posted interrupt to the wakeup
vector. The list is not used to track _all_ vCPUs that are blocking, and
the term "blocked" can be misleading as it may refer to a blocking
condition in the host or the guest, where as the PI wakeup case is
specifically for the vCPUs that are actively blocking from within the
guest.

This adds basic support for delivering 2 level event channels to a guest.
Initially, it only supports delivery via the IRQ routing table, triggered
by an eventfd. In order to do so, it has a kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast()
function which will use the pre-mapped shared_info page if it already
exists and is still valid, while the slow path through the irqfd_inject
workqueue will remap the shared_info page if necessary.
It sets the bits in the shared_info page but not the vcpu_info; that is
deferred to __kvm_xen_has_interrupt() which raises the vector to the
appropriate vCPU.
Add a 'verbose' mode to xen_shinfo_test while adding test cases for this.

This can be used in two modes. There is an atomic mode where the cached
mapping is accessed while holding the rwlock, and a mode where the
physical address is used by a vCPU in guest mode.
For the latter case, an invalidation will wake the vCPU with the new
KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE, and the architecture will need to refresh any
caches it still needs to access before entering guest mode again.
Only one vCPU can be targeted by the wake requests; it's simple enough
to make it wake all vCPUs or even a mask but I don't see a use case for
that additional complexity right now.
Invalidation happens from the invalidate_range_start MMU notifier, which
needs to be able to sleep in order to wake the vCPU and wait for it.
This means that revalidation potentially needs to "wait" for the MMU
operation to complete and the invalidate_range_end notifier to be
invoked. Like the vCPU when it takes a page fault in that period, we
just spin — fixing that in a future patch by implementing an actual
*wait* may be another part of shaving this particularly hirsute yak.
As noted in the comments in the function itself, the only case where
the invalidate_range_start notifier is expected to be called *without*
being able to sleep is when the OOM reaper is killing the process. In
that case, we expect the vCPU threads already to have exited, and thus
there will be nothing to wake, and no reason to wait. So we clear the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT bit and send the request anyway, then complain loudly
if there actually *was* anything to wake up.

KVM/arm64 updates for Linux 5.16
- Simplification of the 'vcpu first run' by integrating it into
KVM's 'pid change' flow
- Refactoring of the FP and SVE state tracking, also leading to
a simpler state and less shared data between EL1 and EL2 in
the nVHE case
- Tidy up the header file usage for the nvhe hyp object
- New HYP unsharing mechanism, finally allowing pages to be
unmapped from the Stage-1 EL2 page-tables
- Various pKVM cleanups around refcounting and sharing
- A couple of vgic fixes for bugs that would trigger once
the vcpu xarray rework is merged, but not sooner
- Add minimal support for ARMv8.7's PMU extension
- Rework kvm_pgtable initialisation ahead of the NV work
- New selftest for IRQ injection
- Teach selftests about the lack of default IPA space and
page sizes
- Expand sysreg selftest to deal with Pointer Authentication
- The usual bunch of cleanups and doc update

Add a "blocking" stat that userspace can use to detect the case where a
vCPU is not being run because of an vCPU/guest action, e.g. HLT or WFS on
x86, WFI on arm64, etc... Current guest/host/halt stats don't show this
well, e.g. if a guest halts for a long period of time then the vCPU could
could appear pathologically blocked due to a host condition, when in
reality the vCPU has been put into a not-runnable state by the guest.

Do not define/reference kvm_vcpu.wait if __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_WQP is true, and
instead force the architecture (PPC) to define its own rcuwait object.
Allowing common KVM to directly access vcpu->wait without a guard makes
it all too easy to introduce potential bugs, e.g. kvm_vcpu_block(),
kvm_vcpu_on_spin(), and async_pf_execute() all operate on vcpu->wait, not
the result of kvm_arch_vcpu_get_wait(), and so may do the wrong thing for
PPC.
Due to PPC's shenanigans with respect to callbacks and waits (it switches
to the virtual core's wait object at KVM_RUN!?!?), it's not clear whether
or not this fixes any bugs.

The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

The current memslots implementation only allows quick binary search by gfn,
quick lookup by hva is not possible - the implementation has to do a linear
scan of the whole memslots array, even though the operation being performed
might apply just to a single memslot.
This significantly hurts performance of per-hva operations with higher
memslot counts.
Since hva ranges can overlap between memslots an interval tree is needed
for tracking them.

Memslot ID to the corresponding memslot mappings are currently kept as
indices in static id_to_index array.
The size of this array depends on the maximum allowed memslot count
(regardless of the number of memslots actually in use).
This has become especially problematic recently, when memslot count cap was
removed, so the maximum count is now full 32k memslots - the maximum
allowed by the current KVM API.
Keeping these IDs in a hash table (instead of an array) avoids this
problem.
Resolving a memslot ID to the actual memslot (instead of its index) will
also enable transitioning away from an array-based implementation of the
whole memslots structure in a later commit.

Pass the "old" slot to kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() and force arch
code to handle propagating arch specific data from "new" to "old" when
necessary. This is a baby step towards dynamically allocating "new" from
the get go, and is a (very) minor performance boost on x86 due to not
unnecessarily copying arch data.
For PPC HV, copy the rmap in the !CREATE and !DELETE paths, i.e. for MOVE
and FLAGS_ONLY. This is functionally a nop as the previous behavior
would overwrite the pointer for CREATE, and eventually discard/ignore it
for DELETE.
For x86, copy the arch data only for FLAGS_ONLY changes. Unlike PPC HV,
x86 needs to reallocate arch data in the MOVE case as the size of x86's
allocations depend on the alignment of the memslot's gfn.
Opportunistically tweak kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region()'s param order to
match the "commit" prototype.

Explicitly disallow creating more memslot pages than can fit in an
unsigned long, KVM doesn't correctly handle a total number of memslot
pages that doesn't fit in an unsigned long and remedying that would be a
waste of time.
For a 64-bit kernel, this is a nop as memslots are not allowed to overlap
in the gfn address space.
With a 32-bit kernel, userspace can at most address 3gb of virtual memory,
whereas wrapping the total number of pages would require 4tb+ of guest
physical memory. Even with x86's second address space for SMM, userspace
would need to alias all of guest memory more than one _thousand_ times.
And on older x86 hardware with MAXPHYADDR < 43, the guest couldn't
actually access any of those aliases even if userspace lied about
guest.MAXPHYADDR.
On 390 and arm64, this is a nop as they don't support 32-bit hosts.
On x86, practically speaking this is simply acknowledging reality as the
existing kvm_mmu_calculate_default_mmu_pages() assumes the total number
of pages fits in an "unsigned long".
On PPC, this is likely a nop as every flavor of PPC KVM assumes gfns (and
gpas!) fit in unsigned long. arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_32_mmu_host.c goes
a step further and fails the build if CONFIG_PTE_64BIT=y, which
presumably means that it does't support 64-bit physical addresses.
On MIPS, this is also likely a nop as the core MMU helpers assume gpas
fit in unsigned long, e.g. see kvm_mips_##name##_pte.
And finally, RISC-V is a "don't care" as it doesn't exist in any release,
i.e. there is no established ABI to break.

At least on arm64 and x86, the vcpus array is pretty huge (up to
1024 entries on x86) and is mostly empty in the majority of the cases
(running 1k vcpu VMs is not that common).
This mean that we end-up with a 4kB block of unused memory in the
middle of the kvm structure.
Instead of wasting away this memory, let's use an xarray instead,
which gives us almost the same flexibility as a normal array, but
with a reduced memory usage with smaller VMs.

All architectures have similar loops iterating over the vcpus,
freeing one vcpu at a time, and eventually wiping the reference
off the vcpus array. They are also inconsistently taking

In commit 7e2175ebd695 ("KVM: x86: Fix recording of guest steal time /
preempted status") I removed the only user of these functions because
it was basically impossible to use them safely.
There are two stages to the GFN->PFN mapping; first through the KVM
memslots to a userspace HVA and then through the page tables to
translate that HVA to an underlying PFN. Invalidations of the former
were being handled correctly, but no attempt was made to use the MMU
notifiers to invalidate the cache when the HVA->GFN mapping changed.
As a prelude to reinventing the gfn_to_pfn_cache with more usable
semantics, rip it out entirely and untangle the implementation of
the unsafe kvm_vcpu_map()/kvm_vcpu_unmap() functions from it.
All current users of kvm_vcpu_map() also look broken right now, and
will be dealt with separately. They broadly fall into two classes:
* Those which map, access the data and immediately unmap. This is
mostly gratuitous and could just as well use the existing user
HVA, and could probably benefit from a gfn_to_hva_cache as they
do so.
* Those which keep the mapping around for a longer time, perhaps
even using the PFN directly from the guest. These will need to
be converted to the new gfn_to_pfn_cache and then kvm_vcpu_map()
can be removed too.

All of the irqfds would to be updated when update the irq
routing, it's too expensive if there're too many irqfds.
However we can reduce the cost by avoid some unnecessary
updates. For irqs of MSI type on X86, the update can be
saved if the msi values are not change.
The vfio migration could receives benefit from this optimi-
zaiton. The test VM has 128 vcpus and 8 VF (with 65 vectors
enabled), so the VM has more than 520 irqfds. We mesure the
cost of the vfio_msix_enable (in QEMU, it would set routing
for each irqfd) for each VF, and we can see the total cost
can be significantly reduced.
