Deduplicate the prefetching code for indirect and direct MMUs. The core
logic is the same, the only difference is that indirect MMUs need to
prefetch SPTEs one-at-a-time, as contiguous guest virtual addresses aren't
guaranteed to yield contiguous guest physical addresses.

Use kvm_release_page_clean() to put prefeteched pages instead of calling
put_page() directly. This will allow de-duplicating the prefetch code
between indirect and direct MMUs.
Note, there's a small functional change as kvm_release_page_clean() marks
the page/folio as accessed. While it's not strictly guaranteed that the
guest will access the page, KVM won't intercept guest accesses, i.e. won't
mark the page accessed if it _is_ accessed by the guest (unless A/D bits
are disabled, but running without A/D bits is effectively limited to
pre-HSW Intel CPUs).

Drop the gfn_to_page() lookup when installing KVM's internal memslot for
the APIC access page, as KVM doesn't need to immediately fault-in the page
now that the page isn't pinned. In the extremely unlikely event the
kernel can't allocate a 4KiB page, KVM can just as easily return -EFAULT
on the future page fault.

Add an off-by-default module param to control whether or not KVM is allowed
to map memory that isn't pinned, i.e. that KVM can't guarantee won't be
freed while it is mapped into KVM and/or the guest. Don't remove the
functionality entirely, as there are use cases where mapping unpinned
memory is safe (as defined by the platform owner), e.g. when memory is
hidden from the kernel and managed by userspace, in which case userspace
is already fully trusted to not muck with guest memory mappings.
But for more typical setups, mapping unpinned memory is wildly unsafe, and
unnecessary. The APIs are used exclusively by x86's nested virtualization
support, and there is no known (or sane) use case for mapping PFN-mapped
memory a KVM guest _and_ letting the guest use it for virtualization
structures.

When creating a memory map for read, don't request a writable pfn from the
primary MMU. While creating read-only mappings can be theoretically slower,
as they don't play nice with fast GUP due to the need to break CoW before
mapping the underlying PFN, practically speaking, creating a mapping isn't
a super hot path, and getting a writable mapping for reading is weird and
confusing.

Mark the APIC access page as dirty when unmapping it from KVM. The fact
that the page _shouldn't_ be written doesn't guarantee the page _won't_ be
written. And while the contents are likely irrelevant, the values _are_
visible to the guest, i.e. dropping writes would be visible to the guest
(though obviously highly unlikely to be problematic in practice).
Marking the map dirty will allow specifying the write vs. read-only when
*mapping* the memory, which in turn will allow creating read-only maps.

Pin, as in FOLL_PIN, pages when mapping them for direct access by KVM.
As per Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, writing to a page that
was gotten via FOLL_GET is explicitly disallowed.
Correct (uses FOLL_PIN calls):
pin_user_pages()
write to the data within the pages
unpin_user_pages()
INCORRECT (uses FOLL_GET calls):
get_user_pages()
write to the data within the pages
put_page()
Unfortunately, FOLL_PIN is a "private" flag, and so kvm_follow_pfn must
use a one-off bool instead of being able to piggyback the "flags" field.

Introduce kvm_follow_pfn() to eventually supplant the various "gfn_to_pfn"
APIs, albeit by adding more wrappers. The primary motivation of the new
helper is to pass a structure instead of an ever changing set of parameters,
e.g. so that tweaking the behavior, inputs, and/or outputs of the "to pfn"
helpers doesn't require churning half of KVM.
In the more distant future, the APIs exposed to arch code could also
follow suit, e.g. by adding something akin to x86's "struct kvm_page_fault"
when faulting in guest memory. But for now, the goal is purely to clean
up KVM's "internal" MMU code.
As part of the conversion, replace the write_fault, interruptible, and
no-wait boolean flags with FOLL_WRITE, FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE, and FOLL_NOWAIT
respectively. Collecting the various FOLL_* flags into a single field
will again ease the pain of passing new flags.

Remove check_user_page_hwpoison() as it's effectively dead code. Prior to
commit 234b239bea39 ("kvm: Faults which trigger IO release the mmap_sem"),
hva_to_pfn_slow() wasn't actually a slow path in all cases, i.e. would do
get_user_pages_fast() without ever doing slow GUP with FOLL_HWPOISON.
Now that hva_to_pfn_slow() is a straight shot to get_user_pages_unlocked(),
and unconditionally passes FOLL_HWPOISON, it is impossible for hva_to_pfn()
to get an -errno that needs to be morphed to -EHWPOISON.
There are essentially four cases in KVM:
- npages == 0, then FOLL_NOWAIT, a.k.a. @async, must be true, and thus
check_user_page_hwpoison() will not be called
- npages == 1 || npages == -EHWPOISON, all good
- npages == -EINTR || npages == -EAGAIN, bail early, all good
- everything else, including -EFAULT, can go down the vma_lookup() path,
as npages < 0 means KVM went through hva_to_pfn_slow() which passes
FOLL_HWPOISON

Treat an -EAGAIN return from GUP the same as -EINTR and immediately report
to the caller that a signal is pending. GUP only returns -EAGAIN if
the _initial_ mmap_read_lock_killable() fails, which in turn onnly fails
if a signal is pending
Note, rwsem_down_read_slowpath() actually returns -EINTR, so GUP is really
just making life harder than it needs to be. And the call to
mmap_read_lock_killable() in the retry path returns its -errno verbatim,
i.e. GUP (and thus KVM) is already handling locking failure this way, but
only some of the time.

Use gfn_to_page_many_atomic() instead of gfn_to_pfn_memslot_atomic() when
prefetching indirect PTEs (direct_pte_prefetch_many() already uses the
"to page" APIS). Functionally, the two are subtly equivalent, as the "to
pfn" API short-circuits hva_to_pfn() if hva_to_pfn_fast() fails, i.e. is
just a wrapper for get_user_page_fast_only()/get_user_pages_fast_only().
Switching to the "to page" API will allow dropping the @atomic parameter
from the entire hva_to_pfn() callchain.

Now that KVM doesn't clobber Accessed bits of shadow-present SPTEs,
e.g. when prefetching, mark folios as accessed only when zapping leaf
SPTEs, which is a rough heuristic for "only in response to an mmu_notifier
invalidation". Page aging and LRUs are tolerant of false negatives, i.e.
KVM doesn't need to be precise for correctness, and re-marking folios as
accessed when zapping entire roots or when zapping collapsible SPTEs is
expensive and adds very little value.
E.g. when a VM is dying, all of its memory is being freed; marking folios
accessed at that time provides no known value. Similarly, because KVM
marks folios as accessed when creating SPTEs, marking all folios as
accessed when userspace happens to delete a memslot doesn't add value.
The folio was marked access when the old SPTE was created, and will be
marked accessed yet again if a vCPU accesses the pfn again after reloading
a new root. Zapping collapsible SPTEs is a similar story; marking folios
accessed just because userspace disable dirty logging is a side effect of
KVM behavior, not a deliberate goal.
As an intermediate step, a.k.a. bisection point, towards *never* marking
folios accessed when dropping SPTEs, mark folios accessed when the primary
MMU might be invalidating mappings, as such zappings are not KVM initiated,
i.e. might actually be related to page aging and LRU activity.
Note, x86 is the only KVM architecture that "double dips"; every other
arch marks pfns as accessed only when mapping into the guest, not when
mapping into the guest _and_ when removing from the guest.

Mark pages/folios dirty when creating SPTEs to map PFNs into the guest,
not when zapping or modifying SPTEs, as marking folios dirty when zapping
or modifying SPTEs can be extremely inefficient. E.g. when KVM is zapping
collapsible SPTEs to reconstitute a hugepage after disbling dirty logging,
KVM will mark every 4KiB pfn as dirty, even though _at least_ 512 pfns are
guaranteed to be in a single folio (the SPTE couldn't potentially be huge
if that weren't the case). The problem only becomes worse for 1GiB
HugeTLB pages, as KVM can mark a single folio dirty 512*512 times.
Marking a folio dirty when mapping is functionally safe as KVM drops all
relevant SPTEs in response to an mmu_notifier invalidation, i.e. ensures
that the guest can't dirty a folio after access has been removed.
And because KVM already marks folios dirty when zapping/modifying SPTEs
for KVM reasons, i.e. not in response to an mmu_notifier invalidation,
there is no danger of "prematurely" marking a folio dirty. E.g. if a
filesystems cleans a folio without first removing write access, then there
already exists races where KVM could mark a folio dirty before remote TLBs
are flushed, i.e. before guest writes are guaranteed to stop. Furthermore,
x86 is literally the only architecture that marks folios dirty on the
backend; every other KVM architecture marks folios dirty at map time.
x86's unique behavior likely stems from the fact that x86's MMU predates
mmu_notifiers. Long, long ago, before mmu_notifiers were added, marking
pages dirty when zapping SPTEs was logical, and perhaps even necessary, as
KVM held references to pages, i.e. kept a page's refcount elevated while
the page was mapped into the guest. At the time, KVM's rmap_remove()
simply did:
if (is_writeble_pte(*spte))
kvm_release_pfn_dirty(pfn);
else
kvm_release_pfn_clean(pfn);
i.e. dropped the refcount and marked the page dirty at the same time.
After mmu_notifiers were introduced, commit acb66dd051d0 ("KVM: MMU:
don't hold pagecount reference for mapped sptes pages") removed the
refcount logic, but kept the dirty logic, i.e. converted the above to:
if (is_writeble_pte(*spte))
kvm_release_pfn_dirty(pfn);
And for KVM x86, that's essentially how things have stayed over the last
~15 years, without anyone revisiting *why* KVM marks pages/folios dirty at
zap/modification time, e.g. the behavior was blindly carried forward to
the TDP MMU.
Practically speaking, the only downside to marking a folio dirty during
mapping is that KVM could trigger writeback of memory that was never
actually written. Except that can't actually happen if KVM marks folios
dirty if and only if a writable SPTE is created (as done here), because
KVM always marks writable SPTEs as dirty during make_spte(). See commit
9b51a63024bd ("KVM: MMU: Explicitly set D-bit for writable spte."), circa
2015.
Note, KVM's access tracking logic for prefetched SPTEs is a bit odd. If a
guest PTE is dirty and writable, KVM will create a writable SPTE, but then
mark the SPTE for access tracking. Which isn't wrong, just a bit odd, as
it results in _more_ precise dirty tracking for MMUs _without_ A/D bits.
To keep things simple, mark the folio dirty before access tracking comes
into play, as an access-tracked SPTE can be restored in the fast page
fault path, i.e. without holding mmu_lock. While writing SPTEs and
accessing memslots outside of mmu_lock is safe, marking a folio dirty is
not. E.g. if the fast path gets interrupted _just_ after setting a SPTE,
the primary MMU could theoretically invalidate and free a folio before KVM
marks it dirty. Unlike the shadow MMU, which waits for CPUs to respond to
an IPI, the TDP MMU only guarantees the page tables themselves won't be
freed (via RCU).
Opportunistically update a few stale comments.

Set the Accessed bit when making a "new" SPTE during SPTE synchronization,
as _clearing_ the Accessed bit is counter-productive, and even if the
Accessed bit wasn't set in the old SPTE, odds are very good the guest will
access the page in the near future, as the most common case where KVM
synchronizes a shadow-present SPTE is when the guest is making the gPTE
read-only for Copy-on-Write (CoW).
Preserving the Accessed bit will allow dropping the logic that propagates
the Accessed bit to the underlying struct page when overwriting an existing
SPTE, without undue risk of regressing page aging.
Note, KVM's current behavior is very deliberate, as SPTE synchronization
was the only "speculative" access type as of commit 947da5383069 ("KVM:
MMU: Set the accessed bit on non-speculative shadow ptes").
But, much has changed since 2008, and more changes are on the horizon.
Spurious clearing of the Accessed (and Dirty) was mitigated by commit
e6722d9211b2 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Reduce the update to the spte in
FNAME(sync_spte)"), which changed FNAME(sync_spte) to only overwrite SPTEs
if the protections are actually changing. I.e. KVM is already preserving
Accessed information for SPTEs that aren't dropping protections.
And with the aforementioned future change to NOT mark the page/folio as
accessed, KVM's SPTEs will become the "source of truth" so to speak, in
which case clearing the Accessed bit outside of page aging becomes very
undesirable.

Invert the polarity of "can_unsync" and rename the parameter to
"synchronizing" to allow a future change to set the Accessed bit if KVM
is synchronizing an existing SPTE. Querying "can_unsync" in that case is
nonsensical, as the fact that KVM can't unsync SPTEs doesn't provide any
justification for setting the Accessed bit.

Treat attempts to prefetch/prefault MMU SPTEs as spurious if there's an
existing shadow-present SPTE, as overwriting a SPTE that may have been
create by a "real" fault is at best confusing, and at worst potentially
harmful. E.g. mmu_try_to_unsync_pages() doesn't unsync when prefetching,
which creates a scenario where KVM could try to replace a Writable SPTE
with a !Writable SPTE, as sp->unsync is checked prior to acquiring
mmu_unsync_pages_lock.
Note, this applies to three of the four flavors of "prefetch" in KVM:
- KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY
- Async #PF (host or PV)
- Prefetching
The fourth flavor, SPTE synchronization, i.e. FNAME(sync_spte), _only_
overwrites shadow-present SPTEs when calling make_spte(). But SPTE
synchronization specifically uses mmu_spte_update(), and so naturally
avoids the @prefetch check in mmu_set_spte().

Apply make_spte()'s optimization to skip trying to unsync shadow pages if
and only if the old SPTE was a leaf SPTE, as non-leaf SPTEs in direct MMUs
are always writable, i.e. could trigger a false positive and incorrectly
lead to KVM creating a SPTE without write-protecting or marking shadow
pages unsync.
This bug only affects the TDP MMU, as the shadow MMU only overwrites a
shadow-present SPTE when synchronizing SPTEs (and only 4KiB SPTEs can be
unsync). Specifically, mmu_set_spte() drops any non-leaf SPTEs *before*
calling make_spte(), whereas the TDP MMU can do a direct replacement of a
page table with the leaf SPTE.
Opportunistically update the comment to explain why skipping the unsync
stuff is safe, as opposed to simply saying "it's someone else's problem".

Some distros switched gcc to '-march=x86-64-v3' by default and while it's

The failure is easy to reproduce elsewhere with

The root cause of the problem seems to be that with '-march=x86-64-v3' GCC

Ignore nCR3[4:0] when loading PDPTEs from memory for nested SVM, as bits
4:0 of CR3 are ignored when PAE paging is used, and thus VMRUN doesn't
enforce 32-byte alignment of nCR3.
In the absolute worst case scenario, failure to ignore bits 4:0 can result
in an out-of-bounds read, e.g. if the target page is at the end of a
memslot, and the VMM isn't using guard pages.
Per the APM:
The CR3 register points to the base address of the page-directory-pointer
table. The page-directory-pointer table is aligned on a 32-byte boundary,
with the low 5 address bits 4:0 assumed to be 0.
And the SDM's much more explicit:
4:0 Ignored
Note, KVM gets this right when loading PDPTRs, it's only the nSVM flow
that is broken.

Reset the segment cache after segment initialization in vmx_vcpu_reset()
to harden KVM against caching stale/uninitialized data. Without the
recent fix to bypass the cache in kvm_arch_vcpu_put(), the following
scenario is possible:
- vCPU is just created, and the vCPU thread is preempted before
SS.AR_BYTES is written in vmx_vcpu_reset().
- When scheduling out the vCPU task, kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() =>
vmx_get_cpl() reads and caches '0' for SS.AR_BYTES.
- vmx_vcpu_reset() => seg_setup() configures SS.AR_BYTES, but doesn't
invoke vmx_segment_cache_clear() to invalidate the cache.
As a result, KVM retains a stale value in the cache, which can be read,
e.g. via KVM_GET_SREGS. Usually this is not a problem because the VMX
segment cache is reset on each VM-Exit, but if the userspace VMM (e.g KVM
selftests) reads and writes system registers just after the vCPU was
created, _without_ modifying SS.AR_BYTES, userspace will write back the
stale '0' value and ultimately will trigger a VM-Entry failure due to
incorrect SS segment type.
Invalidating the cache after writing the VMCS doesn't address the general
issue of cache accesses from IRQ context being unsafe, but it does prevent
KVM from clobbering the VMCS, i.e. mitigates the harm done _if_ KVM has a
bug that results in an unsafe cache access.

the documented targeted zap behavior to specifically say that KVM _may_

Add a lockdep assertion in kvm_unmap_gfn_range() to ensure that either
mmu_invalidate_in_progress is elevated, or that the range is being zapped
due to memslot removal (loosely detected by slots_lock being held).
Zapping SPTEs without mmu_invalidate_{in_progress,seq} protection is unsafe
as KVM's page fault path snapshots state before acquiring mmu_lock, and
thus can create SPTEs with stale information if vCPUs aren't forced to
retry faults (due to seeing an in-progress or past MMU invalidation).
Memslot removal is a special case, as the memslot is retrieved outside of
mmu_invalidate_seq, i.e. doesn't use the "standard" protections, and
instead relies on SRCU synchronization to ensure any in-flight page faults
are fully resolved before zapping SPTEs.

When performing a targeted zap on memslot removal, zap only MMU pages that
shadow guest PTEs, as zapping all SPs that "match" the gfn is inexact and
unnecessary. Furthermore, for_each_gfn_valid_sp() arguably shouldn't
exist, because it doesn't do what most people would it expect it to do.
The "round gfn for level" adjustment that is done for direct SPs (no gPTE)
means that the exact gfn comparison will not get a match, even when a SP
does "cover" a gfn, or was even created specifically for a gfn.
For memslot deletion specifically, KVM's behavior will vary significantly
based on the size and alignment of a memslot, and in weird ways. E.g. for
a 4KiB memslot, KVM will zap more SPs if the slot is 1GiB aligned than if
it's only 4KiB aligned. And as described below, zapping SPs in the
aligned case overzaps for direct MMUs, as odds are good the upper-level
SPs are serving other memslots.
To iterate over all potentially-relevant gfns, KVM would need to make a
pass over the hash table for each level, with the gfn used for lookup
rounded for said level. And then check that the SP is of the correct
level, too, e.g. to avoid over-zapping.
But even then, KVM would massively overzap, as processing every level is
all but guaranteed to zap SPs that serve other memslots, especially if the
memslot being removed is relatively small. KVM could mitigate that issue
by processing only levels that can be possible guest huge pages, i.e. are
less likely to be re-used for other memslot, but while somewhat logical,
that's quite arbitrary and would be a bit of a mess to implement.
So, zap only SPs with gPTEs, as the resulting behavior is easy to describe,
is predictable, and is explicitly minimal, i.e. KVM only zaps SPs that
absolutely must be zapped.
