The intent was to create a single column table, however the markup used
was actually for a header which led to docs build failures:
Sphinx parallel build error:

Fix the issue by converting the attempted table to an unordered list.

KVM/arm64 changes for 6.17, round #1
- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
translation and wired interrupts.
- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface.
- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on hardware
that previously advertised it unconditionally.
- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on systems
with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to perform cache
maintenance on the address range.
- Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the guest
hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take traps of
masked external aborts to the hypervisor.
- Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
implementation.
- Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3 system
registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the ONE_REG
vCPU ioctls.
- Various cleanups and minor fixes.

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.17
- Prevert the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM (Intel only) when running the
guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can bleed host state into the guest.
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter (Intel only) to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF.
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the
vCPU's CPUID model.
- 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.

KVM/riscv changes for 6.17
- Enabled ring-based dirty memory tracking
- Improved perf kvm stat to report interrupt events
- Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode
- MMU related improvements for KVM RISC-V for upcoming
nested virtualization
|
|
Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking on riscv:
- Enable CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_ACQ_REL as riscv is weakly
ordered.
- Set KVM_DIRTY_LOG_PAGE_OFFSET for the ring buffer's physical page
offset.
- Add a check to kvm_vcpu_kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests for checking
whether the dirty ring is soft full.
To handle vCPU requests that cause exits to userspace, modified the
`kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests` to return a value (currently only
returns 0 or 1).

Proper testing greatly simplifies both patch development and review,
but it can be unclear what kind of userspace or guest support
should accompany new features. Clarify maintainer expectations
in terms of testing expectations; additionally, list the cases in
which open-source userspace support is pretty much a necessity and
its absence can only be mitigated by selftests.
While these ideas have long been followed implicitly by KVM contributors
and maintainers, formalize them in writing to provide consistent (though
not universal) guidelines.

Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ vCPU ioctl if guest's TSC is protected and not
changeable by KVM, and update the documentation to reflect it.
For such TSC protected guests, e.g. TDX guests, typically the TSC is
configured once at VM level before any vCPU are created and remains
unchanged during VM's lifetime. KVM provides the KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ VM
scope ioctl to allow the userspace VMM to configure the TSC of such VM.
After that the userspace VMM is not supposed to call the KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ
vCPU scope ioctl anymore when creating the vCPU.
The de facto userspace VMM Qemu does this for TDX guests. The upcoming
SEV-SNP guests with Secure TSC should follow.
Note, TDX support hasn't been fully released as of the "buggy" commit,
i.e. there is no established ABI to break.

Reject the KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ VM ioctl when vCPUs have been created and
update the documentation to reflect it.
The VM scope KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ ioctl is used to set up the default TSC
frequency that all subsequently created vCPUs can use. It is only
intended to be called before any vCPU is created. Allowing it to be
called after that only results in confusion but nothing good.
Note this is an ABI change. But currently in Qemu (the de facto
userspace VMM) only TDX uses this VM ioctl, and it is only called once
before creating any vCPU, therefore the risk of breaking userspace is
pretty low.

Allow a guest to read the physical IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSRs
without interception.
The IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSRs are not virtualized. Writes are not
handled at all. The MSR values are not zeroed on vCPU creation, saved
on suspend, or restored on resume. No accommodation is made for
processor migration or for sharing a logical processor with other
tasks. No adjustments are made for non-unit TSC multipliers. The MSRs
do not account for time the same way as the comparable PMU events,
whether the PMU is virtualized by the traditional emulation method or
the new mediated pass-through approach.
Nonetheless, in a properly constrained environment, this capability
can be combined with a guest CPUID table that advertises support for
CPUID.6:ECX.APERFMPERF[bit 0] to induce a Linux guest to report the
effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo. Moreover, there is
no performance cost for this capability.

Introduce a new KVM capability to expose to the userspace whether
cacheable mapping of PFNMAP is supported.
The ability to safely do the cacheable mapping of PFNMAP is contingent
on S2FWB and ARM64_HAS_CACHE_DIC. S2FWB allows KVM to avoid flushing
the D cache, ARM64_HAS_CACHE_DIC allows KVM to avoid flushing the icache
and turns icache_inval_pou() into a NOP. The cap would be false if
those requirements are missing and is checked by making use of
kvm_arch_supports_cacheable_pfnmap.
This capability would allow userspace to discover the support.
It could for instance be used by userspace to prevent live-migration
across FWB and non-FWB hosts.

Exit to userspace for TDG.VP.VMCALL<GetTdVmCallInfo> via KVM_EXIT_TDX,
to allow userspace to provide information about the support of
TDVMCALLs when r12 is 1 for the TDVMCALLs beyond the GHCI base API.
GHCI spec defines the GHCI base TDVMCALLs: <GetTdVmCallInfo>, <MapGPA>,
<ReportFatalError>, <Instruction.CPUID>, <#VE.RequestMMIO>,
<Instruction.HLT>, <Instruction.IO>, <Instruction.RDMSR> and
<Instruction.WRMSR>. They must be supported by VMM to support TDX guests.
For GetTdVmCallInfo
- When leaf (r12) to enumerate TDVMCALL functionality is set to 0,
successful execution indicates all GHCI base TDVMCALLs listed above are
supported.
Update the KVM TDX document with the set of the GHCI base APIs.
- When leaf (r12) to enumerate TDVMCALL functionality is set to 1, it
indicates the TDX guest is querying the supported TDVMCALLs beyond
the GHCI base TDVMCALLs.
Exit to userspace to let userspace set the TDVMCALL sub-function bit(s)
accordingly to the leaf outputs. KVM could set the TDVMCALL bit(s)
supported by itself when the TDVMCALLs don't need support from userspace
after returning from userspace and before entering guest. Currently, no
such TDVMCALLs implemented, KVM just sets the values returned from

Handle TDVMCALL for GetQuote to generate a TD-Quote.
GetQuote is a doorbell-like interface used by TDX guests to request VMM
to generate a TD-Quote signed by a service hosting TD-Quoting Enclave
operating on the host. A TDX guest passes a TD Report (TDREPORT_STRUCT) in
a shared-memory area as parameter. Host VMM can access it and queue the
operation for a service hosting TD-Quoting enclave. When completed, the
Quote is returned via the same shared-memory area.
KVM only checks the GPA from the TDX guest has the shared-bit set and drops
the shared-bit before exiting to userspace to avoid bleeding the shared-bit
into KVM's exit ABI. KVM forwards the request to userspace VMM (e.g. QEMU)
and userspace VMM queues the operation asynchronously. KVM sets the return
code according to the 'ret' field set by userspace to notify the TDX guest
whether the request has been queued successfully or not. When the request
has been queued successfully, the TDX guest can poll the status field in
the shared-memory area to check whether the Quote generation is completed
or not. When completed, the generated Quote is returned via the same
buffer.
Add KVM_EXIT_TDX as a new exit reason to userspace. Userspace is
required to handle the KVM exit reason as the initial support for TDX,
by reentering KVM to ensure that the TDVMCALL is complete. While at it,
add a note that KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL also requires reentry with KVM_RUN.

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.

Add a toggleable VM capability to reset the VCPU from userspace by
setting MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED through IOCTL.
Reset through a mp_state to avoid adding a new IOCTL.
Do not reset on a transition from STOPPED to RUNNABLE, because it's
better to avoid side effects that would complicate userspace adoption.
The MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED is not a permanent mp_state -- IOCTL resets
the VCPU while preserving the original mp_state -- because we wouldn't
gain much from having a new state it in the rest of KVM, but it's a very
non-standard use of the IOCTL.

Add support for KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT on SVM CPUs with Bus Lock
Threshold, which is close enough to VMX's Bus Lock Detection VM-Exit to
allow reusing KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT.
The biggest difference between the two features is that Threshold is
fault-like, whereas Detection is trap-like. To allow the guest to make
forward progress, Threshold provides a per-VMCB counter which is
decremented every time a bus lock occurs, and a VM-Exit is triggered if
and only if the counter is '0'.
To provide Detection-like semantics, initialize the counter to '0', i.e.
exit on every bus lock, and when re-executing the guilty instruction, set
the counter to '1' to effectively step past the instruction.
Note, in the unlikely scenario that re-executing the instruction doesn't
trigger a bus lock, e.g. because the guest has changed memory types or
patched the guilty instruction, the bus lock counter will be left at '1',
i.e. the guest will be able to do a bus lock on a different instruction.
In a perfect world, KVM would ensure the counter is '0' if the guest has
made forward progress, e.g. if RIP has changed. But trying to close that
hole would incur non-trivial complexity, for marginal benefit; the intent
of KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT is to allow userspace rate-limit bus locks,
not to allow for precise detection of problematic guest code. And, it's
simply not feasible to fully close the hole, e.g. if an interrupt arrives
before the original instruction can re-execute, the guest could step past
a different bus lock.

As long as we had purely EL1 VMs, we could easily update the number
of guest-visible counters by letting userspace write to PMCR_EL0.N.
With VMs started at EL2, PMCR_EL1.N only reflects MDCR_EL2.HPMN,
and we don't have a good way to limit it.
For this purpose, introduce a new PMUv3 attribute that allows
limiting the maximum number of counters. This requires the explicit
selection of a PMU.

This large commit contains the initial support for TDX in KVM. All x86
parts enable the host-side hypercalls that KVM uses to talk to the TDX
module, a software component that runs in a special CPU mode called SEAM
(Secure Arbitration Mode).
The series is in turn split into multiple sub-series, each with a separate
merge commit:
- Initialization: basic setup for using the TDX module from KVM, plus
ioctls to create TDX VMs and vCPUs.
- MMU: in TDX, private and shared halves of the address space are mapped by
different EPT roots, and the private half is managed by the TDX module.
Using the support that was added to the generic MMU code in 6.14,
add support for TDX's secure page tables to the Intel side of KVM.
Generic KVM code takes care of maintaining a mirror of the secure page
tables so that they can be queried efficiently, and ensuring that changes
are applied to both the mirror and the secure EPT.
- vCPU enter/exit: implement the callbacks that handle the entry of a TDX
vCPU (via the SEAMCALL TDH.VP.ENTER) and the corresponding save/restore
of host state.
- Userspace exits: introduce support for guest TDVMCALLs that KVM forwards to
userspace. These correspond to the usual KVM_EXIT_* "heavyweight vmexits"
but are triggered through a different mechanism, similar to VMGEXIT for
SEV-ES and SEV-SNP.
- Interrupt handling: support for virtual interrupt injection as well as
handling VM-Exits that are caused by vectored events. Exclusive to
TDX are machine-check SMIs, which the kernel already knows how to
handle through the kernel machine check handler (commit 7911f145de5f,
"x86/mce: Implement recovery for errors in TDX/SEAM non-root mode")
- Loose ends: handling of the remaining exits from the TDX module, including
EPT violation/misconfig and several TDVMCALL leaves that are handled in
the kernel (CPUID, HLT, RDMSR/WRMSR, GetTdVmCallInfo); plus returning
an error or ignoring operations that are not supported by TDX guests

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.15
- Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM
- Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace
- Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers
- Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU implementations
where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue of guest CPU
errata awareness in big-little systems and cross-implementation VM
migration
- Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation
- pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat
- Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events

KVM Xen changes for 6.15
- Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are initiated by
the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs where KVM can write to
guest memory at unexpected times, e.g. during vCPU creation if userspace has
set the Xen hypercall MSR index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates.
- Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR indx to the unofficial synthetic range to
reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are emulated by KVM
(collisions can still happen as KVM emulates Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside
in the synthetic range).
- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and xen_hvm_config.
- Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying the CPUID
entries when updating PV clocks, as there is no guarantee PV clocks will be
updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID emulation, and guest reads
of Xen TSC should be rare, i.e. are not a hot path.

Introduce an Intel specific quirk KVM_X86_QUIRK_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT to have
KVM ignore guest PAT when this quirk is enabled.
On AMD platforms, KVM always honors guest PAT. On Intel however there are
two issues. First, KVM *cannot* honor guest PAT if CPU feature self-snoop
is not supported. Second, UC access on certain Intel platforms can be very
slow[1] and honoring guest PAT on those platforms may break some old
guests that accidentally specify video RAM as UC. Those old guests may
never expect the slowness since KVM always forces WB previously. See [2].
So, introduce a quirk that KVM can enable by default on all Intel platforms
to avoid breaking old unmodifiable guests. Newer userspace can disable this
quirk if it wishes KVM to honor guest PAT; disabling the quirk will fail
if self-snoop is not supported, i.e. if KVM cannot obey the wish.
The quirk is a no-op on AMD and also if any assigned devices have
non-coherent DMA. This is not an issue, as KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED is
another example of a quirk that is sometimes automatically disabled.

Convert TDG.VP.VMCALL<ReportFatalError> to KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT with
a new type KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_TDX_FATAL and forward it to userspace for
handling.
TD guest can use TDG.VP.VMCALL<ReportFatalError> to report the fatal
error it has experienced. This hypercall is special because TD guest
is requesting a termination with the error information, KVM needs to
forward the hypercall to userspace anyway, KVM doesn't do parsing or
conversion, it just dumps the 16 general-purpose registers to userspace
and let userspace decide what to do.

The VGIC maintenance IRQ signals various conditions about the LRs, when
the GIC's virtualization extension is used.
So far we didn't need it, but nested virtualization needs to know about
this interrupt, so add a userland interface to setup the IRQ number.
The architecture mandates that it must be a PPI, on top of that this code
only exports a per-device option, so the PPI is the same on all VCPUs.
