Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"This is a bit on the large side, mostly due to two changes:
- Changes to disable some broken PMU virtualization (see below for
details under "x86 PMU")
- Clean up SVM's enter/exit assembly code so that it can be compiled
without OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD. This fixes a warning "Unpatched
return thunk in use. This should not happen!" when running KVM
selftests.
Everything else is small bugfixes and selftest changes:
- Fix a mostly benign bug in the gfn_to_pfn_cache infrastructure
where KVM would allow userspace to refresh the cache with a bogus
GPA. The bug has existed for quite some time, but was exposed by a
new sanity check added in 6.9 (to ensure a cache is either
GPA-based or HVA-based).
- Drop an unused param from gfn_to_pfn_cache_invalidate_start() that
got left behind during a 6.9 cleanup.
- Fix a math goof in x86's hugepage logic for
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES that results in an array overflow
(detected by KASAN).
- Fix a bug where KVM incorrectly clears root_role.direct when
userspace sets guest CPUID.
- Fix a dirty logging bug in the where KVM fails to write-protect
SPTEs used by a nested guest, if KVM is using Page-Modification
Logging and the nested hypervisor is NOT using EPT.
x86 PMU:
- Drop support for virtualizing adaptive PEBS, as KVM's
implementation is architecturally broken without an obvious/easy
path forward, and because exposing adaptive PEBS can leak host LBRs
to the guest, i.e. can leak host kernel addresses to the guest.
- Set the enable bits for general purpose counters in
PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL at RESET time, as done by both Intel and AMD
processors.
- Disable LBR virtualization on CPUs that don't support LBR
callstacks, as KVM unconditionally uses
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL_STACK when creating the perf event, and
would fail on such CPUs.
Tests:
- Fix a flaw in the max_guest_memory selftest that results in it
exhausting the supply of ucall structures when run with more than
256 vCPUs.
- Mark KVM_MEM_READONLY as supported for RISC-V in
set_memory_region_test"

Clean up SVM's enter/exit assembly code so that it can be compiled
without OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD. The "standard" __svm_vcpu_run() can't
be made 100% bulletproof, as RBP isn't restored on #VMEXIT, but that's
also the case for __vmx_vcpu_run(), and getting "close enough" is better
than not even trying.
As for SEV-ES, after yet another refresher on swap types, I realized
KVM can simply let the hardware restore registers after #VMEXIT, all
that's missing is storing the current values to the host save area
(they are swap type B). This should provide 100% accuracy when using
stack frames for unwinding, and requires less assembly.
In between, build the SEV-ES code iff CONFIG_KVM_AMD_SEV=y, and yank out
"support" for 32-bit kernels in __svm_sev_es_vcpu_run, which was
unnecessarily polluting the code for a configuration that is disabled
at build time.

Check kvm_mmu_page_ad_need_write_protect() when deciding whether to
write-protect or clear D-bits on TDP MMU SPTEs, so that the TDP MMU
accounts for any role-specific reasons for disabling D-bit dirty logging.
Specifically, TDP MMU SPTEs must be write-protected when the TDP MMU is
being used to run an L2 (i.e. L1 has disabled EPT) and PML is enabled.
KVM always disables PML when running L2, even when L1 and L2 GPAs are in
the some domain, so failing to write-protect TDP MMU SPTEs will cause
writes made by L2 to not be reflected in the dirty log.

On AMD and Hygon platforms, the local APIC does not automatically set
the mask bit of the LVTPC register when handling a PMI and there is
no need to clear it in the kernel's PMI handler.
For guests, the mask bit is currently set by kvm_apic_local_deliver()
and unless it is cleared by the guest kernel's PMI handler, PMIs stop
arriving and break use-cases like sampling with perf record.
This does not affect non-PerfMonV2 guests because PMIs are handled in
the guest kernel by x86_pmu_handle_irq() which always clears the LVTPC
mask bit irrespective of the vendor.

Add kvm_vcpu_arch.is_amd_compatible to cache if a vCPU's vendor model is
compatible with AMD, i.e. if the vCPU vendor is AMD or Hygon, along with
helpers to check if a vCPU is compatible AMD vs. Intel. To handle Intel
vs. AMD behavior related to masking the LVTPC entry, KVM will need to
check for vendor compatibility on every PMI injection, i.e. querying for
AMD will soon be a moderately hot path.
Note! This subtly (or maybe not-so-subtly) makes "Intel compatible" KVM's
default behavior, both if userspace omits (or never sets) CPUID 0x0 and if
userspace sets a completely unknown vendor. One could argue that KVM
should treat such vCPUs as not being compatible with Intel *or* AMD, but
that would add useless complexity to KVM.
KVM needs to do *something* in the face of vendor specific behavior, and
so unless KVM conjured up a magic third option, choosing to treat unknown
vendors as neither Intel nor AMD means that checks on AMD compatibility
would yield Intel behavior, and checks for Intel compatibility would yield
AMD behavior. And that's far worse as it would effectively yield random
behavior depending on whether KVM checked for AMD vs. Intel vs. !AMD vs.
!Intel. And practically speaking, all x86 CPUs follow either Intel or AMD
architecture, i.e. "supporting" an unknown third architecture adds no
value.
Deliberately don't convert any of the existing guest_cpuid_is_intel()
checks, as the Intel side of things is messier due to some flows explicitly
checking for exactly vendor==Intel, versus some flows assuming anything
that isn't "AMD compatible" gets Intel behavior. The Intel code will be
cleaned up in the future.

Set the enable bits for general purpose counters in IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL
when refreshing the PMU to emulate the MSR's architecturally defined
post-RESET behavior. Per Intel's SDM:
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL: Sets bits n-1:0 and clears the upper bits.
and
Where "n" is the number of general-purpose counters available in the processor.
AMD also documents this behavior for PerfMonV2 CPUs in one of AMD's many
PPRs.
Do not set any PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL bits if there are no general purpose
counters, although a literal reading of the SDM would require the CPU to
set either bits 63:0 or 31:0. The intent of the behavior is to globally
enable all GP counters; honor the intent, if not the letter of the law.
Leaving PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL '0' effectively breaks PMU usage in guests that
haven't been updated to work with PMUs that support PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL.
This bug was recently exposed when KVM added supported for AMD's
PerfMonV2, i.e. when KVM started exposing a vPMU with PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL to
guest software that only knew how to program v1 PMUs (that don't support
PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL).
Failure to emulate the post-RESET behavior results in such guests
unknowingly leaving all general purpose counters globally disabled (the
entire reason the post-RESET value sets the GP counter enable bits is to
maintain backwards compatibility).
The bug has likely gone unnoticed because PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL has been
supported on Intel CPUs for as long as KVM has existed, i.e. hardly anyone
is running guest software that isn't aware of PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL on Intel
PMUs. And because up until v6.0, KVM _did_ emulate the behavior for Intel
CPUs, although the old behavior was likely dumb luck.
Because (a) that old code was also broken in its own way (the history of
this code is a comedy of errors), and (b) PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL was documented
as having a value of '0' post-RESET in all SDMs before March 2023.
Initial vPMU support in commit f5132b0138 ("KVM: Expose a version 2
architectural PMU to a guests") *almost* got it right (again likely by
dumb luck), but for some reason only set the bits if the guest PMU was
advertised as v1:
if (pmu->version == 1) {
pmu->global_ctrl = (1 << pmu->nr_arch_gp_counters) - 1;
return;
}
Commit f19a0c2c2e ("KVM: PMU emulation: GLOBAL_CTRL MSR should be
enabled on reset") then tried to remedy that goof, presumably because
guest PMUs were leaving PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL '0', i.e. weren't enabling
counters.
pmu->global_ctrl = ((1 << pmu->nr_arch_gp_counters) - 1) |
(((1ull << pmu->nr_arch_fixed_counters) - 1) << X86_PMC_IDX_FIXED);
pmu->global_ctrl_mask = ~pmu->global_ctrl;
That was KVM's behavior up until commit c49467a45f ("KVM: x86/pmu:
Don't overwrite the pmu->global_ctrl when refreshing") removed
*everything*. However, it did so based on the behavior defined by the
SDM , which at the time stated that "Global Perf Counter Controls" is
'0' at Power-Up and RESET.
But then the March 2023 SDM (325462-079US), stealthily changed its
"IA-32 and Intel 64 Processor States Following Power-up, Reset, or INIT"
table to say:
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL: Sets bits n-1:0 and clears the upper bits.
Note, kvm_pmu_refresh() can be invoked multiple times, i.e. it's not a
"pure" RESET flow. But it can only be called prior to the first KVM_RUN,
i.e. the guest will only ever observe the final value.
Note #2, KVM has always cleared global_ctrl during refresh (see commit
f5132b0138 ("KVM: Expose a version 2 architectural PMU to a guests")),
i.e. there is no danger of breaking existing setups by clobbering a value
set by userspace.

specific huge pages. For internal KVM reasons, huge pages are also not
allowed to span adjacent memslots regardless of whether the backing memory
could be mapped as huge.
What GFNs support which huge page sizes is tracked by an array of arrays
'lpage_info' on the memslot, of ‘kvm_lpage_info’ structs. Each index of
lpage_info contains a vmalloc allocated array of these for a specific
supported page size. The kvm_lpage_info denotes whether a specific huge
page (GFN and page size) on the memslot is supported. These arrays include
indices for unaligned head and tail huge pages.
Preventing huge pages from spanning adjacent memslot is covered by
incrementing the count in head and tail kvm_lpage_info when the memslot is
allocated, but disallowing huge pages for memory that has mixed attributes
has to be done in a more complicated way. During the
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl KVM updates lpage_info for each memslot in
the range that has mismatched attributes. KVM does this a memslot at a
time, and marks a special bit, KVM_LPAGE_MIXED_FLAG, in the kvm_lpage_info
for any huge page. This bit is essentially a permanently elevated count.
So huge pages will not be mapped for the GFN at that page size if the
count is elevated in either case: a huge head or tail page unaligned to
the memslot or if KVM_LPAGE_MIXED_FLAG is set because it has mixed
attributes.
To determine whether a huge page has consistent attributes, the
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES operation checks an xarray to make sure it
consistently has the incoming attribute. Since level - 1 huge pages are
aligned to level huge pages, it employs an optimization. As long as the
level - 1 huge pages are checked first, it can just check these and assume
that if each level - 1 huge page contained within the level sized huge
page is not mixed, then the level size huge page is not mixed. This
optimization happens in the helper hugepage_has_attrs().
Unfortunately, although the kvm_lpage_info array representing page size
'level' will contain an entry for an unaligned tail page of size level,
the array for level - 1 will not contain an entry for each GFN at page
size level. The level - 1 array will only contain an index for any
unaligned region covered by level - 1 huge page size, which can be a
smaller region. So this causes the optimization to overflow the level - 1
kvm_lpage_info and perform a vmalloc out of bounds read.
In some cases of head and tail pages where an overflow could happen,
callers skip the operation completely as KVM_LPAGE_MIXED_FLAG is not
required to prevent huge pages as discussed earlier. But for memslots that
are smaller than the 1GB page size, it does call hugepage_has_attrs(). In
this case the huge page is both the head and tail page. The issue can be
observed simply by compiling the kernel with CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC and
running the selftest “private_mem_conversions_test”, which produces the
output like the following:
BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in hugepage_has_attrs+0x7e/0x110
Read of size 4 at addr ffffc900000a3008 by task private_mem_con/169

? hugepage_has_attrs
? hugepage_has_attrs
kasan_report
? hugepage_has_attrs
hugepage_has_attrs
kvm_arch_post_set_memory_attributes
kvm_vm_ioctl
It is a little ambiguous whether the unaligned head page (in the bug case
also the tail page) should be expected to have KVM_LPAGE_MIXED_FLAG set.
It is not functionally required, as the unaligned head/tail pages will
already have their kvm_lpage_info count incremented. The comments imply
not setting it on unaligned head pages is intentional, so fix the callers
to skip trying to set KVM_LPAGE_MIXED_FLAG in this case, and in doing so
not call hugepage_has_attrs().

Drop support for virtualizing adaptive PEBS, as KVM's implementation is
architecturally broken without an obvious/easy path forward, and because
exposing adaptive PEBS can leak host LBRs to the guest, i.e. can leak
host kernel addresses to the guest.
Bug #1 is that KVM doesn't account for the upper 32 bits of
IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL when (re)programming fixed counters, e.g
fixed_ctrl_field() drops the upper bits, reprogram_fixed_counters()
stores local variables as u8s and truncates the upper bits too, etc.
Bug #2 is that, because KVM _always_ sets precise_ip to a non-zero value
for PEBS events, perf will _always_ generate an adaptive record, even if
the guest requested a basic record. Note, KVM will also enable adaptive
PEBS in individual *counter*, even if adaptive PEBS isn't exposed to the
guest, but this is benign as MSR_PEBS_DATA_CFG is guaranteed to be zero,
i.e. the guest will only ever see Basic records.
Bug #3 is in perf. intel_pmu_disable_fixed() doesn't clear the upper
bits either, i.e. leaves ICL_FIXED_0_ADAPTIVE set, and
intel_pmu_enable_fixed() effectively doesn't clear ICL_FIXED_0_ADAPTIVE
either. I.e. perf _always_ enables ADAPTIVE counters, regardless of what
KVM requests.
Bug #4 is that adaptive PEBS *might* effectively bypass event filters set
by the host, as "Updated Memory Access Info Group" records information
that might be disallowed by userspace via KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER.
Bug #5 is that KVM doesn't ensure LBR MSRs hold guest values (or at least
zeros) when entering a vCPU with adaptive PEBS, which allows the guest
to read host LBRs, i.e. host RIPs/addresses, by enabling "LBR Entries"
records.
Disable adaptive PEBS support as an immediate fix due to the severity of
the LBR leak in particular, and because fixing all of the bugs will be
non-trivial, e.g. not suitable for backporting to stable kernels.
Note! This will break live migration, but trying to make KVM play nice
with live migration would be quite complicated, wouldn't be guaranteed to
work (i.e. KVM might still kill/confuse the guest), and it's not clear
that there are any publicly available VMMs that support adaptive PEBS,
let alone live migrate VMs that support adaptive PEBS, e.g. QEMU doesn't
support PEBS in any capacity.

BHI mitigation mode spectre_bhi=auto does not deploy the software
mitigation by default. In a cloud environment, it is a likely scenario
where userspace is trusted but the guests are not trusted. Deploying
system wide mitigation in such cases is not desirable.
Update the auto mode to unconditionally mitigate against malicious
guests. Deploy the software sequence at VMexit in auto mode also, when
hardware mitigation is not available. Unlike the force =on mode,
software sequence is not deployed at syscalls in auto mode.

Branch History Injection (BHI) attacks may allow a malicious application to
influence indirect branch prediction in kernel by poisoning the branch
history. eIBRS isolates indirect branch targets in ring0. The BHB can
still influence the choice of indirect branch predictor entry, and although
branch predictor entries are isolated between modes when eIBRS is enabled,
the BHB itself is not isolated between modes.
Alder Lake and new processors supports a hardware control BHI_DIS_S to
mitigate BHI. For older processors Intel has released a software sequence
to clear the branch history on parts that don't support BHI_DIS_S. Add
support to execute the software sequence at syscall entry and VMexit to
overwrite the branch history.
For now, branch history is not cleared at interrupt entry, as malicious
applications are not believed to have sufficient control over the
registers, since previous register state is cleared at interrupt
entry. Researchers continue to poke at this area and it may become
necessary to clear at interrupt entry as well in the future.
This mitigation is only defined here. It is enabled later.

Fix a bug in KVM_SET_CPUID{2,} where KVM looks at the wrong CPUID entries (old
vs. new) and ultimately neglects to clear PV_UNHALT from vCPUs with HLT-exiting
disabled.
KVM SVM changes for 6.9:
- Add support for systems that are configured with SEV and SEV-ES+ enabled,
but have all ASIDs assigned to SEV-ES+ guests, which effectively makes SEV
unusuable. Cleanup ASID handling to make supporting this scenario less
brittle/ugly.
- Return -EINVAL instead of -EBUSY if userspace attempts to invoke
KVM_SEV{,ES}_INIT on an SEV+ guest. The operation is simply invalid, and
not related to resource contention in any way.
Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"S390:
- Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request
- Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
requested
- More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same)
- Fix selftests undefined behavior
x86:
- Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
guest CPUID. The enumeration of an architectural event only says
that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can
be programmed *using the architectural encoding*. The enumeration
does NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't
report support the event *in general*. It might support it, and it
might support it using the same encoding that made it into the
architectural PMU spec
- Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly
emulates RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other
PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are
easier to validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka
kvm-unit-tests)
- Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does
not cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM
would check if a PMC event needs to be synthesized
- Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10%
performance improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is
exposed to the guest
- Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if
an NMI arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit
- Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification
information when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit
code
- Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support
- Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock
held for read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace
deletes a memslot
- Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be
1GiB). KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a
zap, and 1GiB granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that
are quite impolite for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels
- Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory
overhead when a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support
but the workloads use neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization
- Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the
emulator that triggered KMSAN false positives
- Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM
- Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code
ultimately decides how and when to force the exit, which allowed
some optimization for both Intel and AMD
- Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left
elevated if vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra
unnecessary work
- Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
in-kernel
- Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
kernel
x86 Xen emulation:
- Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
but the underlying host virtual address remains the same
- When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
timer emulation
- Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
behavior)
- Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
IDs
RISC-V:
- Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests
- New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)
- New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)
- Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs
ARM:

registers

x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
assigned devices that can tolerate it
- Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
injection path
- Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register
- Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and

LoongArch:
- Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG
- Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking
- Do not restart SW timer when it is expired
- Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest
- Misc cleanups and fixes as usual
Generic:
- Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else
- Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
requiring each architecture to specify it
- Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers
- Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h
- Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded
- Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's
no need to remember to *conditionally* clean up after the worker
Selftests:
- Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP
infrastructure
- Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of
library support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory

Pull x86 RFDS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow a malicious userspace to
infer stale register values from kernel space. Kernel registers can
have all kinds of secrets in them so the mitigation is basically to
wait until the kernel is about to return to userspace and has user
values in the registers. At that point there is little chance of
kernel secrets ending up in the registers and the microarchitectural
state can be cleared.
This leverages some recent robustness fixes for the existing MDS
vulnerability. Both MDS and RFDS use the VERW instruction for
mitigation"

- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the
'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak:
- This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory

compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous
inline assembly code.
- The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for
various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).
FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:
1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
in nested exception scenarios.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
of #NMI code to handle this.
3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.
4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
stack trace.
5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment
6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
on large systems.
7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources
FRED addresses these shortcomings by:
1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
complexity of preserving it in software.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.
3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
per CPU variable access is done in hardware.
4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
return from NMI.
5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP
6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
the vector space restriction.
The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.
7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.
The series implements the initial FRED support by:
- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.
- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE
- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events
- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.
The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.
It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

Mitigation for RFDS requires RFDS_CLEAR capability which is enumerated
by MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES bit 27. If the host has it set, export it
to guests so that they can deploy the mitigation.
RFDS_NO indicates that the system is not vulnerable to RFDS, export it
to guests so that they don't deploy the mitigation unnecessarily. When
the host is not affected by X86_BUG_RFDS, but has RFDS_NO=0, synthesize
RFDS_NO to the guest.

KVM Xen and pfncache changes for 6.9:
- Rip out the half-baked support for using gfn_to_pfn caches to manage pages
that are "mapped" into guests via physical addresses.
- Add support for using gfn_to_pfn caches with only a host virtual address,
i.e. to bypass the "gfn" stage of the cache. The primary use case is
overlay pages, where the guest may change the gfn used to reference the
overlay page, but the backing hva+pfn remains the same.
- Add an ioctl() to allow mapping Xen's shared_info page using an hva instead
of a gpa, so that userspace doesn't need to reconfigure and invalidate the
cache/mapping if the guest changes the gpa (but userspace keeps the resolved
hva the same).
- When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the deadline for
Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the timer emulation.
- Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its APIC to fix
a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's behavior).
- Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ delivery of Xen
events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC IDs.
- Extend gfn_to_pfn_cache's mutex to cover (de)activation (in addition to
refresh), and drop a now-redundant acquisition of xen_lock (that was
protecting the shared_info cache) to fix a deadlock due to recursively
acquiring xen_lock.
KVM x86 PMU changes for 6.9:
- Fix several bugs where KVM speciously prevents the guest from utilizing
fixed counters and architectural event encodings based on whether or not
guest CPUID reports support for the _architectural_ encoding.
- Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC, e.g. for "fast" reads,
priority of VMX interception vs #GP, PMC types in architectural PMUs, etc.
- Add a selftest to verify KVM correctly emulates RDMPC, counter availability,
and a variety of other PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID,
i.e. are difficult to validate via KVM-Unit-Tests.
- Zero out PMU metadata on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled to avoid wasting
cycles, e.g. when checking if a PMC event needs to be synthesized when
skipping an instruction.
- Optimize triggering of emulated events, e.g. for "count instructions" events
when skipping an instruction, which yields a ~10% performance improvement in
VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is exposed to the guest.
- Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if an NMI
arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit.
KVM VMX changes for 6.9:
- Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification information
when exiting to userspace due to an unexpected VM-Exit while the CPU was
vectoring an exception.
- Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support.
- Clean up the logic for massaging the passthrough MSR bitmaps when userspace
changes its MSR filter.
KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.9:
- Clean up code related to unprotecting shadow pages when retrying a guest
instruction after failed #PF-induced emulation.
- Zap TDP MMU roots at 4KiB granularity to minimize the delay in yielding if
a reschedule is needed, e.g. if a high priority task needs to run. Because
KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a zapped non-leaf
SPTE, zapping at 1GiB granularity can result in multi-millisecond lag when
attempting to schedule in a high priority.
- Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock held for
read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace deletes a memslot.
- Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory overhead when
running kernels built with KVMGT support (external write-tracking enabled),
but for workloads that don't use nested virtualization (shadow paging) or
KVMGT.
