Update the nested dirty log test to validate KVM's handling of READ faults
when dirty logging is enabled. Specifically, set the Dirty bit in the
guest PTEs used to map L2 GPAs, so that KVM will create writable SPTEs
when handling L2 read faults. When handling read faults in the shadow MMU,
KVM opportunistically creates a writable SPTE if the mapping can be
writable *and* the gPTE is dirty (or doesn't support the Dirty bit), i.e.
if KVM doesn't need to intercept writes in order to emulate Dirty-bit
updates.
To actually test the L2 READ=>WRITE sequence, e.g. without masking a false
pass by other test activity, route the READ=>WRITE and WRITE=>WRITE
sequences to separate L1 pages, and differentiate between "marked dirty
due to a WRITE access/fault" and "marked dirty due to creating a writable
SPTE for a READ access/fault". The updated sequence exposes the bug fixed
by KVM commit 1f4e5fc83a ("KVM: x86: fix nested guest live migration
with PML") when the guest performs a READ=>WRITE sequence with dirty guest
PTEs.
Opportunistically tweak and rename the address macros, and add comments,
to make it more obvious what the test is doing. E.g. NESTED_TEST_MEM1
vs. GUEST_TEST_MEM doesn't make it all that obvious that the test is
creating aliases in both the L2 GPA and GVA address spaces, but only when
L1 is using TDP to run L2.

Implement nCR3 and NPT initialization functions, similar to the EPT
equivalents, and create common TDP helpers for enablement checking and
initialization. Enable NPT for nested guests by default if the TDP MMU
was initialized, similar to VMX.
Reuse the PTE masks from the main MMU in the NPT MMU, except for the C
and S bits related to confidential VMs.

[sean: apply Yosry's fixup for ncr3_gpa]
Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Rework tdp_map() and friends to use __virt_pg_map() and drop the custom
EPT code in __tdp_pg_map() and tdp_create_pte(). The EPT code and
__virt_pg_map() are practically identical, the main differences are:
- EPT uses the EPT struct overlay instead of the PTE masks.
- EPT always assumes 4-level EPTs.
To reuse __virt_pg_map(), extend the PTE masks to work with EPT's RWX and
X-only capabilities, and provide a tdp_mmu_init() API so that EPT can pass
in the EPT PTE masks along with the root page level (which is currently
hardcoded to '4').
Don't reuse KVM's insane overloading of the USER bit for EPT_R as there's
no reason to multiplex bits in the selftests, e.g. selftests aren't trying
to shadow guest PTEs and thus don't care about funnelling protections into
a common permissions check.
Another benefit of reusing the code is having separate handling for
upper-level PTEs vs 4K PTEs, which avoids some quirks like setting the
large bit on a 4K PTE in the EPTs.
For all intents and purposes, no functional change intended.

prepare_eptp() currently allocates new EPTs for each vCPU. memstress has
its own hack to share the EPTs between vCPUs. Currently, there is no
reason to have separate EPTs for each vCPU, and the complexity is
significant. The only reason it doesn't matter now is because memstress
is the only user with multiple vCPUs.
Add vm_enable_ept() to allocate EPT page tables for an entire VM, and use
it everywhere to replace prepare_eptp(). Drop 'eptp' and 'eptp_hva' from
'struct vmx_pages' as they serve no purpose (e.g. the EPTP can be built
from the PGD), but keep 'eptp_gpa' so that the MMU structure doesn't need
to be passed in along with vmx_pages. Dynamically allocate the TDP MMU
structure to avoid a cyclical dependency between kvm_util_arch.h and
kvm_util.h.
Remove the workaround in memstress to copy the EPT root between vCPUs
since that's now the default behavior.
Name the MMU tdp_mmu instead of e.g. nested_mmu or nested.mmu to avoid
recreating the same mess that KVM has with respect to "nested" MMUs, e.g.
does nested refer to the stage-2 page tables created by L1, or the stage-1
page tables created by L2?

Move the PTE bitmasks into kvm_mmu to parameterize them for virt mapping
functions. Introduce helpers to read/write different PTE bits given a
kvm_mmu.
Drop the 'global' bit definition as it's currently unused, but leave the
'user' bit as it will be used in coming changes. Opportunisitcally
rename 'large' to 'huge' as it's more consistent with the kernel naming.
Leave PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK alone, it's fixed in all page table formats and
a lot of other macros depend on it. It's tempting to move all the other
macros to be per-struct instead, but it would be too much noise for
little benefit.
Keep c_bit and s_bit in vm->arch as they used before the MMU is
initialized, through __vmcreate() -> vm_userspace_mem_region_add() ->
vm_mem_add() -> vm_arch_has_protected_memory().
No functional change intended.

In preparation for generalizing the x86 virt mapping APIs to work with
TDP (stage-2) page tables, plumb "struct kvm_mmu" into all of the helper
functions instead of operating on vm->mmu directly.
Opportunistically swap the order of the check in virt_get_pte() to first
assert that the parent is the PGD, and then check that the PTE is present,
as it makes more sense to check if the parent PTE is the PGD/root (i.e.
not a PTE) before checking that the PTE is PRESENT.

Add a "struct kvm_mmu" to track a given MMU instance, e.g. a VM's stage-1
MMU versus a VM's stage-2 MMU, so that x86 can share MMU functionality for
both stage-1 and stage-2 MMUs, without creating the potential for subtle
bugs, e.g. due to consuming on vm->pgtable_levels when operating a stage-2
MMU.
Encapsulate the existing de facto MMU in "struct kvm_vm", e.g instead of
burying the MMU details in "struct kvm_vm_arch", to avoid more #ifdefs in
____vm_create(), and in the hopes that other architectures can utilize the
formalized MMU structure if/when they too support stage-2 page tables.
No functional change intended.

Call paths leading to __virt_pg_map() are currently:
(a) virt_pg_map() -> virt_arch_pg_map() -> __virt_pg_map()
(b) virt_map_level() -> __virt_pg_map()
For (a), calls to virt_pg_map() from kvm_util.c make sure they update
vm->vpages_mapped, but other callers do not. Move the sparsebit_set()
call into virt_pg_map() to make sure all callers are captured.
For (b), call sparsebit_set_num() from virt_map_level().
It's tempting to have a single the call inside __virt_pg_map(), however:
- The call path in (a) is not x86-specific, while (b) is. Moving the
call into __virt_pg_map() would require doing something similar for
other archs implementing virt_pg_map().
- Future changes will reusue __virt_pg_map() for nested PTEs, which should
not update vm->vpages_mapped, i.e. a triple underscore version that does
not update vm->vpages_mapped would need to be provided.

The KVM_IRQFD ioctl fails if no irqchip is present in-kernel, which
isn't too surprising as there's not much KVM can do for an IRQ if it
cannot resolve a destination.
As written the irqfd_test assumes that a 'default' VM created in
selftests has an in-kernel irqchip created implicitly. That may be the
case on x86 but it isn't necessarily true on other architectures.
Add an arch predicate indicating if 'default' VMs get an irqchip and
make the irqfd_test depend on it. Work around arm64 VGIC initialization
requirements by using vm_create_with_one_vcpu(), ignoring the created
vCPU as it isn't used for the test.

- Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR), Sierra
Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF).
- Minor cleanups and improvements
Start creating a VGICv3 by default unless explicitly opted-out by the

here is clearing a hurdle for EL2 VMs which mandate the presence of a

so that the fastops test can verify KVM correctly handles #DE when
emulating DIV or IDIV on behalf of the guest. Morph #DE to 0xff (i.e.
to -1) as a mostly-arbitrary vector to indicate #DE, so that '0' (the
real #DE vector) can still be used to indicate "no exception".

Probe /dev/kvm when getting a KVM module param so that attempting to load
a module param super early in a selftest generates a SKIP message about
KVM not being loaded/enabled, versus some random parameter not existing.
E.g. KVM x86's unconditional retrieval of force_emulation_prefix during
kvm_selftest_arch_init() generates a rather confusing error message that
takes far too much triage to understand.

Use the kernel's canonical $(ARCH) paths instead of the raw target triple
for KVM selftests directories. KVM selftests are quite nearly the only
place in the entire kernel that using the target triple for directories,
tools/testing/selftests/drivers/s390x being the lone holdout.
Using the kernel's preferred nomenclature eliminates the minor, but
annoying, friction of having to translate to KVM's selftests directories,
e.g. for pattern matching, opening files, running selftests, etc.
Opportunsitically delete file comments that reference the full path of the
file, as they are obviously prone to becoming stale, and serve no known
purpose.
