- gmap rewrite: completely new memory management for kvm/s390
- vSIE improvement
- maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci
- small quality of life improvement for protected guests
KVM x86 APIC-ish changes for 6.20
- Fix a benign bug where KVM could use the wrong memslots (ignored SMM) when
creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory.
- Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty.
- Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused
ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest
and/or user, and all of which were useless.
- Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it
more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow burying the
RTC shenanigans behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y.
- Bury all of ioapic.h and KVM_IRQCHIP_KERNEL behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y.
- Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes.
- Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily
switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested
VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several
bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in
auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting
"struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans.
- Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv()
to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates
for KVM's own cache of ISR information.
- Drop a dead function declaration.
KVM SVM changes for 6.20
- Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure.
- Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of ERAPS
relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM to reduce the
set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must* flush the RAP.
- Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported according to
L1's virtual CPU model.
- Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's fastpath
for EPT Misconfig.
- Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently of SVM,
and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0.
- Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM.
- Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace.
- Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when emulating VMLOAD
or VMSAVE on behalf of L2.
- Misc fixes and cleanups.
KVM selftests changes for 6.20
- Add a regression test for TPR<=>CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking.
- Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU support,
and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT (for L2 guests).
- Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM.
- Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE.
- Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression test for
PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to improve test coverage
and to hopefully make the test easier to understand and maintain.
KVM/arm64 updates for 7.0
- Add support for FEAT_IDST, allowing ID registers that are not
implemented to be reported as a normal trap rather than as an UNDEF
exception.
- Add sanitisation of the VTCR_EL2 register, fixing a number of
UXN/PXN/XN bugs in the process.
- Full handling of RESx bits, instead of only RES0, and resulting in
SCTLR_EL2 being added to the list of sanitised registers.
- More pKVM fixes for features that are not supposed to be exposed to
guests.
- Make sure that MTE being disabled on the pKVM host doesn't give it
the ability to attack the hypervisor.
- Allow pKVM's host stage-2 mappings to use the Force Write Back
version of the memory attributes by using the "pass-through'
encoding.
- Fix trapping of ICC_DIR_EL1 on GICv5 hosts emulating GICv3 for the
guest.
- Preliminary work for guest GICv5 support.
- A bunch of debugfs fixes, removing pointless custom iterators stored
in guest data structures.
- A small set of FPSIMD cleanups.
- Selftest fixes addressing the incorrect alignment of page
allocation.
- Other assorted low-impact fixes and spelling fixes.

Some distributions (such as Ubuntu) configure GCC so that
_FORTIFY_SOURCE is automatically enabled at -O1 or above. This results
in some fortified version of definitions of standard library functions
are included. While linker resolves the symbols, the fortified versions
might override the definitions in lib/string_override.c and reference to
those PLT entries in GLIBC. This is not a problem for the code in host,
but it is a disaster for the guest code. E.g., if build and run
x86/nested_emulation_test on Ubuntu 24.04 will encounter a L1 #PF due to
memset() reference to __memset_chk@plt.
The option -fno-builtin-memset is not helpful here, because those
fortified versions are not built-in but some definitions which are
included by header, they are for different intentions.
In order to eliminate the unpredictable behaviors may vary depending on
the linker and platform, add the "-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" into CFLAGS to
prevent from introducing the fortified definitions.

Add a test for VMLOAD/VMSAVE in an L2 guest. The test verifies that L1
intercepts for VMSAVE/VMLOAD always work regardless of
VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK.
Then, more interestingly, it makes sure that when L1 does not intercept
VMLOAD/VMSAVE, they work as intended in L2. When
VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK is enabled by L1, VMSAVE/VMLOAD from
L2 should interpret the GPA as an L2 GPA and translate it through the
NPT. When VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK is disabled by L1,
VMSAVE/VMLOAD from L2 should interpret the GPA as an L1 GPA.
To test this, put two VMCBs (0 and 1) in L1's physical address space,
and have a single L2 GPA where:
- L2 VMCB GPA == L1 VMCB(0) GPA
- L2 VMCB GPA maps to L1 VMCB(1) via the NPT in L1.
This setup allows detecting how the GPA is interpreted based on which L1
VMCB is actually accessed.
In both cases, L2 sets KERNEL_GS_BASE (one of the fields handled by
VMSAVE/VMLOAD), and executes VMSAVE to write its value to the VMCB. The
test userspace code then checks that the write was made to the correct
VMCB (based on whether VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK is set by L1),
and writes a new value to that VMCB. L2 then executes VMLOAD to load the
new value and makes sure it's reflected correctly in KERNERL_GS_BASE.

* TPR is 0 on reset,
* TPR, PPR and CR8 are equal inside the guest,
* TPR and CR8 read equal by the host after a VMExit
* TPR borderline values set by the host correctly mask interrupts in the

Test how KVM handles guest SEA when APEI is unable to claim it, and
KVM_CAP_ARM_SEA_TO_USER is enabled.
The behavior is triggered by consuming recoverable memory error (UER)
injected via EINJ. The test asserts two major things:
1. KVM returns to userspace with KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA exit reason, and
has provided expected fault information, e.g. esr, flags, gva, gpa.
2. Userspace is able to handle KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA by injecting SEA to
guest and KVM injects expected SEA into the VCPU.
Tested on a data center server running Siryn AmpereOne processor
that has RAS support.
Several things to notice before attempting to run this selftest:
- The test relies on EINJ support in both firmware and kernel to
inject UER. Otherwise the test will be skipped.
- The under-test platform's APEI should be unable to claim the SEA.
Otherwise the test will be skipped.
- Some platform doesn't support notrigger in EINJ, which may cause
APEI and GHES to offline the memory before guest can consume
injected UER, and making test unable to trigger SEA.

KVM x86 CET virtualization support for 6.18
Add support for virtualizing Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) on
Intel (Shadow Stacks and Indirect Branch Tracking) and AMD (Shadow Stacks).
CET is comprised of two distinct features, Shadow Stacks (SHSTK) and Indirect
Branch Tracking (IBT), that can be utilized by software to help provide
Control-flow integrity (CFI). SHSTK defends against backward-edge attacks
(a.k.a. Return-oriented programming (ROP)), while IBT defends against
forward-edge attacks (a.k.a. similarly CALL/JMP-oriented programming (COP/JOP)).
Attackers commonly use ROP and COP/JOP methodologies to redirect the control-
flow to unauthorized targets in order to execute small snippets of code,
a.k.a. gadgets, of the attackers choice. By chaining together several gadgets,
an attacker can perform arbitrary operations and circumvent the system's
defenses.
SHSTK defends against backward-edge attacks, which execute gadgets by modifying
the stack to branch to the attacker's target via RET, by providing a second
stack that is used exclusively to track control transfer operations. The
shadow stack is separate from the data/normal stack, and can be enabled
independently in user and kernel mode.
When SHSTK is is enabled, CALL instructions push the return address on both the
data and shadow stack. RET then pops the return address from both stacks and
compares the addresses. If the return addresses from the two stacks do not
match, the CPU generates a Control Protection (#CP) exception.
IBT defends against backward-edge attacks, which branch to gadgets by executing
indirect CALL and JMP instructions with attacker controlled register or memory
state, by requiring the target of indirect branches to start with a special
marker instruction, ENDBRANCH. If an indirect branch is executed and the next
instruction is not an ENDBRANCH, the CPU generates a #CP. Note, ENDBRANCH
behaves as a NOP if IBT is disabled or unsupported.
From a virtualization perspective, CET presents several problems. While SHSTK
and IBT have two layers of enabling, a global control in the form of a CR4 bit,
and a per-feature control in user and kernel (supervisor) MSRs (U_CET and S_CET
respectively), the {S,U}_CET MSRs can be context switched via XSAVES/XRSTORS.
Practically speaking, intercepting and emulating XSAVES/XRSTORS is not a viable
option due to complexity, and outright disallowing use of XSTATE to context
switch SHSTK/IBT state would render the features unusable to most guests.
To limit the overall complexity without sacrificing performance or usability,
simply ignore the potential virtualization hole, but ensure that all paths in
KVM treat SHSTK/IBT as usable by the guest if the feature is supported in
hardware, and the guest has access to at least one of SHSTK or IBT. I.e. allow
userspace to advertise one of SHSTK or IBT if both are supported in hardware,
even though doing so would allow a misbehaving guest to use the unadvertised
feature.
Fully emulating SHSTK and IBT would also require significant complexity, e.g.
to track and update branch state for IBT, and shadow stack state for SHSTK.
Given that emulating large swaths of the guest code stream isn't necessary on
modern CPUs, punt on emulating instructions that meaningful impact or consume
SHSTK or IBT. However, instead of doing nothing, explicitly reject emulation
of such instructions so that KVM's emulator can't be abused to circumvent CET.
Disable support for SHSTK and IBT if KVM is configured such that emulation of
arbitrary guest instructions may be required, specifically if Unrestricted
Guest (Intel only) is disabled, or if KVM will emulate a guest.MAXPHYADDR that
is smaller than host.MAXPHYADDR.
Lastly disable SHSTK support if shadow paging is enabled, as the protections
for the shadow stack are novel (shadow stacks require Writable=0,Dirty=1, so
that they can't be directly modified by software), i.e. would require
non-trivial support in the Shadow MMU.
Note, AMD CPUs currently only support SHSTK. Explicitly disable IBT support
so that KVM doesn't over-advertise if AMD CPUs add IBT, and virtualizing IBT
in SVM requires KVM modifications.
KVM/riscv changes for 6.18
- Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.18
- 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.

provides more coverage with respect to host accesses, and will be extended

Using hardcoded page sizes can cause test failures on architectures or

more portable and robust across different environments.
Additionally, build the guest_memfd_test selftest for arm64.

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.17
- Prevert the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM (Intel only) when running the

- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter (Intel only) to

- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are more or
less identical.
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from the "source" on MSR filter changes, and
drop the dedicated "shadow" bitmaps (and their awful "max" size defines).
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the
nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR.
- 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 stuffing INIT_RECEIVED,
a.k.a. WFS, and then putting the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Use
the same approach KVM uses for dealing with "impossible" emulation when
running a !URG guest, and simply wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU
has architecturally impossible state.
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of
APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can "virtualize"
APERF/MPERF (with many caveats).
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ if vCPUs have been created, as changing the "default"
frequency is unsupported for VMs with a "secure" TSC, and there's no known
use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types.
Add tests for SError injection considering KVM is more directly involved

- Decrypt and dump the VMSA in dump_vmcb() if debugging enabled for the VM.
- Add support for ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES.
- Add #VMGEXIT to the set of handlers special cased for CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y.
- Treat DEBUGCTL[5:2] as reserved to pave the way for virtualizing features
that utilize those bits.
- Don't account temporary allocations in sev_send_update_data().
- Add support for KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT on SVM, via Bus Lock Threshold.
KVM selftests changes for 6.16:
- Add support for SNP to the various SEV selftests.
- Add a selftest to verify fastops instructions via forced emulation.
- Add MGLRU support to the access tracking perf test.
KVM/arm64 updates for 6.16
* New features:
- Add large stage-2 mapping support for non-protected pKVM guests,
clawing back some performance.
- Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE and
protected modes.
- Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it
(yes, it has been a long time coming), though it is disabled by
default.
* Improvements, fixes and cleanups:
- Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
them with the effects of control bits. This ensures correctness of
emulation (the data is automatically extracted from the published
JSON files), and helps dealing with the evolution of the
architecture.
- Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,
avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's
vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above.
- New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules
- Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests
even if the host didn't have it.
- Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be
rather buggy in some specific contexts.
- Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N
from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a
number of issues in the process.
- Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a
guest.
- Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the
kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly
bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW.
- Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers
from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2
are heavily synchronised.
- Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS
tables in a human-friendly fashion.
- and the usual random cleanups.
Some common KVM test cases are supported on LoongArch now as following:
coalesced_io_test
demand_paging_test
dirty_log_perf_test
dirty_log_test
guest_print_test
hardware_disable_test
kvm_binary_stats_test
kvm_create_max_vcpus
kvm_page_table_test
memslot_modification_stress_test
memslot_perf_test
set_memory_region_test
And other test cases are not supported by LoongArch such as rseq_test,
since it is not supported on LoongArch physical machine either.

Add a test case to verify x86's bus lock exit functionality, which is now
supported on both Intel and AMD. Trigger bus lock exits by performing a
split-lock access, i.e. an atomic access that splits two cache lines.
Verify that the correct number of bus lock exits are generated, and that
the counter is incremented correctly and at the appropriate time based on
the underlying architecture.
Generate bus locks in both L1 and L2 (if nested virtualization is enabled),
as SVM's functionality in particular requires non-trivial logic to do the
right thing when running nested VMs.

Use MGLRU's debugfs interface to do access tracking instead of
page_idle. The logic to use the page_idle bitmap is left in, as it is
useful for kernels that do not have MGLRU built in.
When MGLRU is enabled, page_idle will report pages as still idle even
after being accessed, as MGLRU doesn't necessarily clear the Idle folio
flag when accessing an idle page, so the test will not attempt to use
page_idle if MGLRU is enabled but otherwise not usable.
Aging pages with MGLRU is much faster than marking pages as idle with
page_idle.
