KVM x86 misc changes for 6.14:
- Overhaul KVM's CPUID feature infrastructure to track all vCPU capabilities
instead of just those where KVM needs to manage state and/or explicitly
enable the feature in hardware. Along the way, refactor the code to make
it easier to add features, and to make it more self-documenting how KVM
is handling each feature.
- Rework KVM's handling of VM-Exits during event vectoring; this plugs holes
where KVM unintentionally puts the vCPU into infinite loops in some scenarios
(e.g. if emulation is triggered by the exit), and brings parity between VMX
and SVM.
- Add pending request and interrupt injection information to the kvm_exit and
kvm_entry tracepoints respectively.
- Fix a relatively benign flaw where KVM would end up redoing RDPKRU when
loading guest/host PKRU, due to a refactoring of the kernel helpers that
didn't account for KVM's pre-checking of the need to do WRPKRU.
Move the handling of a nested posted interrupt notification that is
unblocked by nested VM-Enter (unblocks L1 IRQs when ack-on-exit is enabled
by L1) from VM-Enter emulation to vmx_check_nested_events(). To avoid a
pointless forced immediate exit, i.e. to not regress IRQ delivery latency
when a nested posted interrupt is pending at VM-Enter, block processing of
the notification IRQ if and only if KVM must block _all_ events. Unlike
injected events, KVM doesn't need to actually enter L2 before updating the
vIRR and vmcs02.GUEST_INTR_STATUS, as the resulting L2 IRQ will be blocked
by hardware itself, until VM-Enter to L2 completes.
Note, very strictly speaking, moving the IRQ from L2's PIR to IRR before
entering L2 is still technically wrong. But, practically speaking, only
an L1 hypervisor or an L0 userspace that is deliberately checking event
priority against PIR=>IRR processing can even notice; L2 will see
architecturally correct behavior, as KVM ensures the VM-Enter is finished
before doing anything that would effectively preempt the PIR=>IRR movement.

Use vmcs01's execution controls shadow to check for IRQ/NMI windows after
a successful nested VM-Enter, instead of snapshotting the information prior
to emulating VM-Enter. It's quite difficult to see that the entire reason
controls are snapshot prior nested VM-Enter is to read them from vmcs01
(vmcs02 is loaded if nested VM-Enter is successful).
That could be solved with a comment, but explicitly using vmcs01's shadow
makes the code self-documenting to a certain extent.
No functional change intended (vmcs01's execution controls must not be
modified during emulation of nested VM-Enter).

Drop the manual check for a pending IRQ in vmcs01's RVI field during
nested VM-Enter, as the recently added call to kvm_apic_has_interrupt()
when checking for pending events after successful VM-Enter is a superset
of the RVI check (IRQs that are pending in RVI are also pending in L1's
IRR).

Explicitly check for a pending INIT or SIPI after entering non-root mode
during nested VM-Enter emulation, as no VMCS information is quered as part
of the check, i.e. there is no need to check for INIT/SIPI while vmcs01 is
still loaded.

Always request pending event evaluation after successful nested VM-Enter
if L1 has a pending IRQ, as KVM will effectively do so anyways when APICv
is enabled, by way of vmx_has_apicv_interrupt(). This will allow dropping
the aforementioned APICv check, and will also allow handling nested Posted
Interrupt processing entirely within vmx_check_nested_events(), which is
necessary to honor priority between concurrent events.
Note, checking for pending IRQs has a subtle side effect, as it results in
a PPR update for L1's vAPIC (PPR virtualization does happen at VM-Enter,
but for nested VM-Enter that affects L2's vAPIC, not L1's vAPIC). However,
KVM updates PPR _constantly_, even when PPR technically shouldn't be
refreshed, e.g. kvm_vcpu_has_events() re-evaluates PPR if IRQs are
unblocked, by way of the same kvm_apic_has_interrupt() check. Ditto for
nested VM-Enter itself, when nested posted interrupts are enabled. Thus,
trying to avoid a PPR update on VM-Enter just to be pedantically accurate
is ridiculous, given the behavior elsewhere in KVM.

If KVM emulates an EOI for L1's virtual APIC while L2 is active, defer
updating GUEST_INTERUPT_STATUS.SVI, i.e. the VMCS's cache of the highest
in-service IRQ, until L1 is active, as vmcs01, not vmcs02, needs to track
vISR. The missed SVI update for vmcs01 can result in L1 interrupts being
incorrectly blocked, e.g. if there is a pending interrupt with lower
priority than the interrupt that was EOI'd.
This bug only affects use cases where L1's vAPIC is effectively passed
through to L2, e.g. in a pKVM scenario where L2 is L1's depriveleged host,
as KVM will only emulate an EOI for L1's vAPIC if Virtual Interrupt
Delivery (VID) is disabled in vmc12, and L1 isn't intercepting L2 accesses
to its (virtual) APIC page (or if x2APIC is enabled, the EOI MSR).
WARN() if KVM updates L1's ISR while L2 is active with VID enabled, as an
EOI from L2 is supposed to affect L2's vAPIC, but still defer the update,
to try to keep L1 alive. Specifically, KVM forwards all APICv-related
VM-Exits to L1 via nested_vmx_l1_wants_exit():

Switch all queries (except XSAVES) of guest features from guest CPUID to
guest capabilities, i.e. replace all calls to guest_cpuid_has() with calls
to guest_cpu_cap_has().
Keep guest_cpuid_has() around for XSAVES, but subsume its helper
guest_cpuid_get_register() and add a compile-time assertion to prevent
using guest_cpuid_has() for any other feature. Add yet another comment
for XSAVE to explain why KVM is allowed to query its raw guest CPUID.
Opportunistically drop the unused guest_cpuid_clear(), as there should be
no circumstance in which KVM needs to _clear_ a guest CPUID feature now
that everything is tracked via cpu_caps. E.g. KVM may need to _change_
a feature to emulate dynamic CPUID flags, but KVM should never need to
clear a feature in guest CPUID to prevent it from being used by the guest.
Delete the last remnants of the governed features framework, as the lone
holdout was vmx_adjust_secondary_exec_control()'s divergent behavior for
governed vs. ungoverned features.
Note, replacing guest_cpuid_has() checks with guest_cpu_cap_has() when
computing reserved CR4 bits is a nop when viewed as a whole, as KVM's
capabilities are already incorporated into the calculation, i.e. if a
feature is present in guest CPUID but unsupported by KVM, its CR4 bit
was already being marked as reserved, checking guest_cpu_cap_has() simply
double-stamps that it's a reserved bit.

As the first step toward replacing KVM's so-called "governed features"
framework with a more comprehensive, less poorly named implementation,
replace the "kvm_governed_feature" function prefix with "guest_cpu_cap"
and rename guest_can_use() to guest_cpu_cap_has().
The "guest_cpu_cap" naming scheme mirrors that of "kvm_cpu_cap", and
provides a more clear distinction between guest capabilities, which are
KVM controlled (heh, or one might say "governed"), and guest CPUID, which
with few exceptions is fully userspace controlled.
Opportunistically rewrite the comment about XSS passthrough for SEV-ES
guests to avoid referencing so many functions, as such comments are prone
to becoming stale (case in point...).
No functional change intended.

- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to MSR_IA32_APICBASE.
- Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs to
their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM creating
invalid vCPU state. E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to a non-zero
value results in the vCPU having invalid state if userspace hides PDCM
from the guest, which can lead to save/restore failures.
- Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support LA57
to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the actual
behavior is poorly documented. E.g. most MSR writes and descriptor
table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on whether the CPU
supports LA57.

over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor VMs.
- Minor cleanups
When getting the current VPID, e.g. to emulate a guest TLB flush, return
vpid01 if L2 is running but with VPID disabled, i.e. if VPID is disabled
in vmcs12. Architecturally, if VPID is disabled, then the guest and host
effectively share VPID=0. KVM emulates this behavior by using vpid01 when
running an L2 with VPID disabled (see prepare_vmcs02_early_rare()), and so
KVM must also treat vpid01 as the current VPID while L2 is active.
Unconditionally treating vpid02 as the current VPID when L2 is active
causes KVM to flush TLB entries for vpid02 instead of vpid01, which
results in TLB entries from L1 being incorrectly preserved across nested
VM-Enter to L2 (L2=>L1 isn't problematic, because the TLB flush after
nested VM-Exit flushes vpid01).
The bug manifests as failures in the vmx_apicv_test KVM-Unit-Test, as KVM
incorrectly retains TLB entries for the APIC-access page across a nested
VM-Enter.
Opportunisticaly add comments at various touchpoints to explain the
architectural requirements, and also why KVM uses vpid01 instead of vpid02.

As a result of a recent investigation, it was determined that x86 CPUs
which support 5-level paging, don't always respect CR4.LA57 when doing
canonical checks.
In particular:
1. MSRs which contain a linear address, allow full 57-bitcanonical address
regardless of CR4.LA57 state. For example: MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE.
2. All hidden segment bases and GDT/IDT bases also behave like MSRs.
This means that full 57-bit canonical address can be loaded to them
regardless of CR4.LA57, both using MSRS (e.g GS_BASE) and instructions
(e.g LGDT).
3. TLB invalidation instructions also allow the user to use full 57-bit
address regardless of the CR4.LA57.
Finally, it must be noted that the CPU doesn't prevent the user from
disabling 5-level paging, even when the full 57-bit canonical address is
present in one of the registers mentioned above (e.g GDT base).
In fact, this can happen without any userspace help, when the CPU enters
SMM mode - some MSRs, for example MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE are left to contain
a non-canonical address in regard to the new mode.
Since most of the affected MSRs and all segment bases can be read and
written freely by the guest without any KVM intervention, this patch makes
the emulator closely follow hardware behavior, which means that the
emulator doesn't take in the account the guest CPUID support for 5-level
paging, and only takes in the account the host CPU support.

KVM VMX changes for 6.12:
- Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT Violations if and only
if the GVA is valid. If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no guest-side page
table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata is nonsensical.
- Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit instead of
emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2.
- Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12 structures.
- Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref (really truly
should be impossible).
- Minor SGX fix and a cleanup.
Explicitly invalidate posted_intr_nv when emulating nested VM-Enter and
posted interrupts are disabled to make it clear that posted_intr_nv is
valid if and only if nested posted interrupts are enabled, and as a cheap
way to harden against KVM bugs.
KVM initializes posted_intr_nv to -1 at vCPU creation and resets it to -1
when unloading vmcs12 and/or leaving nested mode, i.e. this is not a bug
fix (or at least, it's not intended to be a bug fix).
Note, tracking nested.posted_intr_nv as a u16 subtly adds a measure of
safety, as it prevents unintentionally matching KVM's informal "no IRQ"
vector of -1, stored as a signed int. Because a u16 can be always be
represented as a signed int, the effective "invalid" value of
posted_intr_nv, 65535, will be preserved as-is when comparing against an
int, i.e. will be zero-extended, not sign-extended, and thus won't get a
false positive if KVM is buggy and compares posted_intr_nv against -1.
Opportunistically add a comment in vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt()
to call out that it must check vmx->nested.posted_intr_nv, not the vector
in vmcs12, which is presumably the _entire_ reason nested.posted_intr_nv
exists. E.g. vmcs12 is a KVM-controlled snapshot, so there are no TOCTOU
races to worry about, the only potential badness is if the vCPU leaves
nested and frees vmcs12 between the sender checking is_guest_mode() and
dereferencing the vmcs12 pointer.

When synthensizing a nested VM-Exit due to an external interrupt, pend a
nested posted interrupt if the external interrupt vector matches L2's PI
notification vector, i.e. if the interrupt is a PI notification for L2.
This fixes a bug where KVM will incorrectly inject VM-Exit instead of
processing nested posted interrupt when IPI virtualization is enabled.
Per the SDM, detection of the notification vector doesn't occur until the
interrupt is acknowledge and deliver to the CPU core.
If the external-interrupt exiting VM-execution control is 1, any unmasked
external interrupt causes a VM exit (see Section 26.2). If the "process
posted interrupts" VM-execution control is also 1, this behavior is
changed and the processor handles an external interrupt as follows:
1. The local APIC is acknowledged; this provides the processor core
with an interrupt vector, called here the physical vector.
2. If the physical vector equals the posted-interrupt notification
vector, the logical processor continues to the next step. Otherwise,
a VM exit occurs as it would normally due to an external interrupt;
the vector is saved in the VM-exit interruption-information field.
For the most part, KVM has avoided problems because a PI NV for L2 that
arrives will L2 is active will be processed by hardware, and KVM checks
for a pending notification vector during nested VM-Enter. Thus, to hit
the bug, the PI NV interrupt needs to sneak its way into L1's vIRR while
L2 is active.
Without IPI virtualization, the scenario is practically impossible to hit,
modulo L1 doing weird things (see below), as the ordering between
vmx_deliver_posted_interrupt() and nested VM-Enter effectively guarantees
that either the sender will see the vCPU as being in_guest_mode(), or the
receiver will see the interrupt in its vIRR.
With IPI virtualization, introduced by commit d588bb9be1 ("KVM: VMX:
enable IPI virtualization"), the sending CPU effectively implements a rough
equivalent of vmx_deliver_posted_interrupt(), sans the nested PI NV check.
If the target vCPU has a valid PID, the CPU will send a PI NV interrupt
based on _L1's_ PID, as the sender's because IPIv table points at L1 PIDs.
PIR := 32 bytes at PID_ADDR;
// under lock
PIR[V] := 1;
store PIR at PID_ADDR;
// release lock
NotifyInfo := 8 bytes at PID_ADDR + 32;
// under lock
IF NotifyInfo.ON = 0 AND NotifyInfo.SN = 0; THEN
NotifyInfo.ON := 1;
SendNotify := 1;
ELSE
SendNotify := 0;
FI;
store NotifyInfo at PID_ADDR + 32;
// release lock
IF SendNotify = 1; THEN
send an IPI specified by NotifyInfo.NDST and NotifyInfo.NV;
FI;
As a result, the target vCPU ends up receiving an interrupt on KVM's
POSTED_INTR_VECTOR while L2 is running, with an interrupt in L1's PIR for
L2's nested PI NV. The POSTED_INTR_VECTOR interrupt triggers a VM-Exit
from L2 to L0, KVM moves the interrupt from L1's PIR to vIRR, triggers a
KVM_REQ_EVENT prior to re-entry to L2, and calls vmx_check_nested_events(),
effectively bypassing all of KVM's "early" checks on nested PI NV.
Without IPI virtualization, the bug can likely be hit only if L1 programs
an assigned device to _post_ an interrupt to L2's notification vector, by
way of L1's PID.PIR. Doing so would allow the interrupt to get into L1's
vIRR without KVM checking vmcs12's NV. Which is architecturally allowed,
but unlikely behavior for a hypervisor.

Move the logic to get the to-be-acknowledge IRQ for a nested VM-Exit from
nested_vmx_vmexit() to vmx_check_nested_events(), which is subtly the one
and only path where KVM invokes nested_vmx_vmexit() with
EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT. A future fix will perform a last-minute
check on L2's nested posted interrupt notification vector, just before
injecting a nested VM-Exit. To handle that scenario correctly, KVM needs
to get the interrupt _before_ injecting VM-Exit, as simply querying the
highest priority interrupt, via kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(), would result in
TOCTOU bug, as a new, higher priority interrupt could arrive between
kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() and kvm_cpu_get_interrupt().
Unfortunately, simply moving the call to kvm_cpu_get_interrupt() doesn't
suffice, as a VMWRITE to GUEST_INTERRUPT_STATUS.SVI is hiding in
kvm_get_apic_interrupt(), and acknowledging the interrupt before nested
VM-Exit would cause the VMWRITE to hit vmcs02 instead of vmcs01.
Open code a rough equivalent to kvm_cpu_get_interrupt() so that the IRQ
is acknowledged after emulating VM-Exit, taking care to avoid the TOCTOU
issue described above.
Opportunistically convert the WARN_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(). If KVM has
a bug that results in a false positive from kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(),
spamming dmesg won't help the situation.
Note, nested_vmx_reflect_vmexit() can never reflect external interrupts as
they are always "wanted" by L0.

Synthesize a consistency check VM-Exit (VM-Enter) or VM-Abort (VM-Exit) if
L1 attempts to load/store an MSR via the VMCS MSR lists that userspace has
disallowed access to via an MSR filter. Intel already disallows including
a handful of "special" MSRs in the VMCS lists, so denying access isn't
completely without precedent.
More importantly, the behavior is well-defined _and_ can be communicated
the end user, e.g. to the customer that owns a VM running as L1 on top of
KVM. On the other hand, ignoring userspace MSR filters is all but
guaranteed to result in unexpected behavior as the access will hit KVM's
internal state, which is likely not up-to-date.
Unlike KVM-internal accesses, instruction emulation, and dedicated VMCS
fields, the MSRs in the VMCS load/store lists are 100% guest controlled,
thus making it all but impossible to reason about the correctness of
ignoring the MSR filter. And if userspace *really* wants to deny access
to MSRs via the aforementioned scenarios, userspace can hide the
associated feature from the guest, e.g. by disabling the PMU to prevent
accessing PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL via its VMCS field. But for the MSR lists, KVM
is blindly processing MSRs; the MSR filters are the _only_ way for
userspace to deny access.
This partially reverts commit ac8d6cad3c ("KVM: x86: Only do MSR
filtering when access MSR by rdmsr/wrmsr").

Move the handful of MSR_IA32_VMX_MISC bit defines that are currently in
msr-indx.h to vmx.h so that all of the VMX_MISC defines and wrappers can
be found in a single location.
Opportunistically use BIT_ULL() instead of open coding hex values, add
defines for feature bits that are architecturally defined, and move the
defines down in the file so that they are colocated with the helpers for
getting fields from VMX_MISC.
No functional change intended.

Add a helper to encode the VMCS revision, size, and supported memory types
in MSR_IA32_VMX_BASIC, i.e. when synthesizing KVM's supported BASIC MSR
value, and delete the now unused VMCS size and memtype shift macros.
For a variety of reasons, KVM has shifted (pun intended) to using helpers
to *get* information from the VMX MSRs, as opposed to defined MASK and
SHIFT macros for direct use. Provide a similar helper for the nested VMX
code, which needs to *set* information, so that KVM isn't left with a mix
of SHIFT macros and dedicated helpers.

Add defines for the architectural memory types that can be shoved into
various MSRs and registers, e.g. MTRRs, PAT, VMX capabilities MSRs, EPTPs,
etc. While most MSRs/registers support only a subset of all memory types,
the values themselves are architectural and identical across all users.
Leave the goofy MTRR_TYPE_* definitions as-is since they are in a uapi
header, but add compile-time assertions to connect the dots (and sanity
check that the msr-index.h values didn't get fat-fingered).
Keep the VMX_EPTP_MT_* defines so that it's slightly more obvious that the
EPTP holds a single memory type in 3 of its 64 bits; those bits just
happen to be 2:0, i.e. don't need to be shifted.
Opportunistically use X86_MEMTYPE_WB instead of an open coded '6' in
setup_vmcs_config().
No functional change intended.

KVM VMX changes for 6.11
- Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware.
- Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested pending posted
interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing HLT in L2 (with
HLT-exiting disable by L1).
- Misc cleanups
KVM x86 misc changes for 6.11
- Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g. EFER, and
move "shadow_phys_bits" into the structure as "maxphyaddr".
- Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the effective APIC
bus frequency, because TDX.
- Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant tracepoint.
- Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to consistently act on
"compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking for a specific vendor.
- Misc cleanups
Check for a Requested Virtual Interrupt, i.e. a virtual interrupt that is
pending delivery, in vmx_has_nested_events() and drop the one-off
kvm_x86_ops.guest_apic_has_interrupt() hook.
In addition to dropping a superfluous hook, this fixes a bug where KVM
would incorrectly treat virtual interrupts _for L2_ as always enabled due
to kvm_arch_interrupt_allowed(), by way of vmx_interrupt_blocked(),
treating IRQs as enabled if L2 is active and vmcs12 is configured to exit
on IRQs, i.e. KVM would treat a virtual interrupt for L2 as a valid wake
event based on L1's IRQ blocking status.

When requesting an immediate exit from L2 in order to inject a pending
event, do so only if the pending event actually requires manual injection,
i.e. if and only if KVM actually needs to regain control in order to
deliver the event.
Avoiding the "immediate exit" isn't simply an optimization, it's necessary
to make forward progress, as the "already expired" VMX preemption timer
trick that KVM uses to force a VM-Exit has higher priority than events
that aren't directly injected.
At present time, this is a glorified nop as all events processed by
vmx_has_nested_events() require injection, but that will not hold true in
the future, e.g. if there's a pending virtual interrupt in vmcs02.RVI.
I.e. if KVM is trying to deliver a virtual interrupt to L2, the expired
VMX preemption timer will trigger VM-Exit before the virtual interrupt is
delivered, and KVM will effectively hang the vCPU in an endless loop of
forced immediate VM-Exits (because the pending virtual interrupt never
goes away).

Add a helper to retrieve the highest pending vector given a Posted
Interrupt descriptor. While the actual operation is straightforward, it's
surprisingly easy to mess up, e.g. if one tries to reuse lapic.c's
find_highest_vector(), which doesn't work with PID.PIR due to the APIC's
IRR and ISR component registers being physically discontiguous (they're
4-byte registers aligned at 16-byte intervals).
To make PIR handling more consistent with respect to IRR and ISR handling,
return -1 to indicate "no interrupt pending".

Add "struct kvm_host_values kvm_host" to hold the various host values
that KVM snapshots during initialization. Bundling the host values into
a single struct simplifies adding new MSRs and other features with host
state/values that KVM cares about, and provides a one-stop shop. E.g.
adding a new value requires one line, whereas tracking each value
individual often requires three: declaration, definition, and export.

Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() sanity check to verify that a nested PML Full VM-Exit
is only synthesized when the original VM-Exit from L2 was an EPT Violation.
While KVM can fallthrough to kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() if an EPT Misconfig
occurs on a stale MMIO SPTE, KVM should not treat the access as a write
(there isn't enough information to know *what* the access was), i.e. KVM
should never try to insert a PML entry in that case.

Move the exit_qualification field that is used to track information about
in-flight nEPT violations from "struct kvm_vcpu_arch" to "x86_exception",
i.e. associate the information with the actual nEPT violation instead of
the vCPU. To handle bits that are pulled from vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION,
i.e. that are propagated from the "original" EPT violation VM-Exit, simply
grab them from the VMCS on-demand when injecting a nEPT Violation or a PML
Full VM-exit.
Aside from being ugly, having an exit_qualification field in kvm_vcpu_arch
is outright dangerous, e.g. see commit d7f0a00e43 ("KVM: VMX: Report
up-to-date exit qualification to userspace").
Opportunstically add a comment to call out that PML Full and EPT Violation
VM-Exits use the same bit to report NMI blocking information.

Explicitly clear the EXIT_QUALIFCATION field when injecting an EPT
misconfig into L1, as required by the VMX architecture. Per the SDM:
This field is saved for VM exits due to the following causes:
debug exceptions; page-fault exceptions; start-up IPIs (SIPIs);
system-management interrupts (SMIs) that arrive immediately after the
execution of I/O instructions; task switches; INVEPT; INVLPG; INVPCID;
INVVPID; LGDT; LIDT; LLDT; LTR; SGDT; SIDT; SLDT; STR; VMCLEAR; VMPTRLD;
VMPTRST; VMREAD; VMWRITE; VMXON; WBINVD; WBNOINVD; XRSTORS; XSAVES;
control-register accesses; MOV DR; I/O instructions; MWAIT; accesses to
the APIC-access page; EPT violations; EOI virtualization; APIC-write
emulation; page-modification log full; SPP-related events; and
instruction timeout. For all other VM exits, this field is cleared.
Generating EXIT_QUALIFICATION from vcpu->arch.exit_qualification is wrong
for all (two) paths that lead to nested_ept_inject_page_fault(). For EPT
violations (the common case), vcpu->arch.exit_qualification will have been
set by handle_ept_violation() to vmcs02.EXIT_QUALIFICATION, i.e. contains
the information of a EPT violation and thus is likely non-zero.
For an EPT misconfig, which can reach FNAME(walk_addr_generic) and thus
inject a nEPT misconfig if KVM created an MMIO SPTE that became stale,
vcpu->arch.exit_qualification will hold the information from the last EPT
violation VM-Exit, as vcpu->arch.exit_qualification is _only_ written by
handle_ept_violation().

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.
Bite the bullet, and open code all direct reads of DR6 and DR7. KVM
currently has a mix of open coded accesses and calls to kvm_get_dr(),
which is confusing and ugly because there's no rhyme or reason as to why
any particular chunk of code uses kvm_get_dr().
The obvious alternative is to force all accesses through kvm_get_dr(),
but it's not at all clear that doing so would be a net positive, e.g. even
if KVM ends up wanting/needing to force all reads through a common helper,
e.g. to play caching games, the cost of reverting this change is likely
lower than the ongoing cost of maintaining weird, arbitrary code.
No functional change intended.

Snapshot the event selectors for the events that KVM emulates in software,
which is currently instructions retired and branch instructions retired.
The event selectors a tied to the underlying CPU, i.e. are constant for a
given platform even though perf doesn't manage the mappings as such.
Getting the event selectors from perf isn't exactly cheap, especially if
mitigations are enabled, as at least one indirect call is involved.
Snapshot the values in KVM instead of optimizing perf as working with the
raw event selectors will be required if KVM ever wants to emulate events
that aren't part of perf's uABI, i.e. that don't have an "enum perf_hw_id"
entry.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Generic:
- Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.
- Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all
architectures.
- Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting
- New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that
creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers
to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be
resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can
be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular
anonymous memory.
- New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify
per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the
only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via
guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP,
TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that
guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in
the case of pKVM).
x86:
- Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new
guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly
useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to
provide a meaningfully reduced TCB.
- Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages
during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.
- Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in
non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with
a non-huge SPTE.
- Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually
care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.
- let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a
stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit
(added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.
- Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for
TLB_CONTROL.
- Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM
always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush
requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware
Workstation on top of KVM.
- Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV
support.
- On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of
intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs
- Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)
- Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters
and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model.
- Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events
using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous"
counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is
recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event
count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow
and for KVM-triggered overflow.
- Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be
problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1
builds.
- Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate
IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features".
- Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the
current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause
kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace
hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.
- Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter
fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to
make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds.
- Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the
code.
- Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV
"emulation" at build time.
ARM64:
- LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base
granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix
branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to
that version of the architecture.
- A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.
Loongarch:
- Optimization for memslot hugepage checking
- Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues
- Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support
RISC-V:
- KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers
- Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list
selftest
- Support for reporting steal time along with selftest
s390:
- Bugfixes
Selftests:
- Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage
instead of the magic token needed to run the test.
- Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing
flag in the Makefile.
- Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful
message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed.
- Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix
the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation"
