Since commit b0563468ee ("x86/CPU/AMD: Disable XSAVES on AMD family 0x17")
kernel unconditionally clears the XSAVES CPU feature bit on Zen1/2 CPUs.
Because KVM CPU caps are initialized from the kernel boot CPU features this
makes the XSAVES feature also unavailable for KVM guests in this case.
At the same time the XSAVEC feature is left enabled.
Unfortunately, having XSAVEC but no XSAVES in CPUID breaks Hyper-V enabled
Windows Server 2016 VMs that have more than one vCPU.
Let's at least give users hint in the kernel log what could be wrong since
these VMs currently simply hang at boot with a black screen - giving no
clue what suddenly broke them and how to make them work again.
Trigger the kernel message hint based on the particular guest ID written to
the Guest OS Identity Hyper-V MSR implemented by KVM.
Defer this check to when the L1 Hyper-V hypervisor enables SVM in EFER
since we want to limit this message to Hyper-V enabled Windows guests only
(Windows session running nested as L2) but the actual Guest OS Identity MSR
write is done by L1 and happens before it enables SVM.

As the kvm api(https://docs.kernel.org/virt/kvm/api.html) reads,
KVM_CREATE_PIT2 call is only valid after enabling in-kernel irqchip
support via KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP.
Without this check, I can create PIT first and enable irqchip-split
then, which may cause the PIT invalid because of lacking of in-kernel
PIC to inject the interrupt.

kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events() routine makes 'KVM_REQ_NMI'
request for a vcpu even when its 'events->nmi.pending' is zero.
Ex:
qemu_thread_start
kvm_vcpu_thread_fn
qemu_wait_io_event
qemu_wait_io_event_common
process_queued_cpu_work
do_kvm_cpu_synchronize_post_init/_reset
kvm_arch_put_registers
kvm_put_vcpu_events (cpu, level=[2|3])
This leads vCPU threads in QEMU to constantly acquire & release the
global mutex lock, delaying the guest boot due to lock contention.
Add check to make KVM_REQ_NMI request only if vcpu has NMI pending.

Apply the pre-intercepts RDPMC validity check only to AMD, and rename all
relevant functions to make it as clear as possible that the check is not a
standard PMC index check. On Intel, the basic rule is that only invalid
opcodes and privilege/permission/mode checks have priority over VM-Exit,
i.e. RDPMC with an invalid index should VM-Exit, not #GP. While the SDM
doesn't explicitly call out RDPMC, it _does_ explicitly use RDMSR of a
non-existent MSR as an example where VM-Exit has priority over #GP, and
RDPMC is effectively just a variation of RDMSR.
Manually testing on various Intel CPUs confirms this behavior, and the
inverted priority was introduced for SVM compatibility, i.e. was not an
intentional change for Intel PMUs. On AMD, *all* exceptions on RDPMC have
priority over VM-Exit.
Check for a NULL kvm_pmu_ops.check_rdpmc_early instead of using a RET0
static call so as to provide a convenient location to document the
difference between Intel and AMD, and to again try to make it as obvious
as possible that the early check is a one-off thing, not a generic "is
this PMC valid?" helper.

- 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.
There are two non-KVM patches buried in the middle of guest_memfd support:
fs: Rename anon_inode_getfile_secure() and anon_inode_getfd_secure()
mm: Add AS_UNMOVABLE to mark mapping as completely unmovable
The first is small and mostly suggested-by Christian Brauner; the second
a bit less so but it was written by an mm person (Vlastimil Babka).

Merge tag 'kvm-x86-xen-6.8' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD
KVM Xen change for 6.8:
To workaround Xen guests that don't expect Xen PV clocks to be marked as being
based on a stable TSC, add a Xen config knob to allow userspace to opt out of
KVM setting the "TSC stable" bit in Xen PV clocks. Note, the "TSC stable" bit
was added to the PVCLOCK ABI by KVM without an ack from Xen, i.e. KVM isn't
entirely blameless for the buggy guest behavior.
Add KVM support for Linear Address Masking (LAM). LAM tweaks the canonicality
checks for most virtual address usage in 64-bit mode, such that only the most
significant bit of the untranslated address bits must match the polarity of the
last translated address bit. This allows software to use ignored, untranslated
address bits for metadata, e.g. to efficiently tag pointers for address
sanitization.
LAM can be enabled separately for user pointers and supervisor pointers, and
for userspace LAM can be select between 48-bit and 57-bit masking
- 48-bit LAM: metadata bits 62:48, i.e. LAM width of 15.
- 57-bit LAM: metadata bits 62:57, i.e. LAM width of 6.
For user pointers, LAM enabling utilizes two previously-reserved high bits from
CR3 (similar to how PCID_NOFLUSH uses bit 63): LAM_U48 and LAM_U57, bits 62 and
61 respectively. Note, if LAM_57 is set, LAM_U48 is ignored, i.e.:
- CR3.LAM_U48=0 && CR3.LAM_U57=0 == LAM disabled for user pointers
- CR3.LAM_U48=1 && CR3.LAM_U57=0 == LAM-48 enabled for user pointers
- CR3.LAM_U48=x && CR3.LAM_U57=1 == LAM-57 enabled for user pointers
For supervisor pointers, LAM is controlled by a single bit, CR4.LAM_SUP, with
the 48-bit versus 57-bit LAM behavior following the current paging mode, i.e.:
- CR4.LAM_SUP=0 && CR4.LA57=x == LAM disabled for supervisor pointers
- CR4.LAM_SUP=1 && CR4.LA57=0 == LAM-48 enabled for supervisor pointers
- CR4.LAM_SUP=1 && CR4.LA57=1 == LAM-57 enabled for supervisor pointers
The modified LAM canonicality checks:
- LAM_S48 : [ 1 ][ metadata ][ 1 ]
63 47
- LAM_U48 : [ 0 ][ metadata ][ 0 ]
63 47
- LAM_S57 : [ 1 ][ metadata ][ 1 ]
63 56
- LAM_U57 + 5-lvl paging : [ 0 ][ metadata ][ 0 ]
63 56
- LAM_U57 + 4-lvl paging : [ 0 ][ metadata ][ 0...0 ]
63 56..47
The bulk of KVM support for LAM is to emulate LAM's modified canonicality
checks. The approach taken by KVM is to "fill" the metadata bits using the
highest bit of the translated address, e.g. for LAM-48, bit 47 is sign-extended
to bits 62:48. The most significant bit, 63, is *not* modified, i.e. its value
from the raw, untagged virtual address is kept for the canonicality check. This
untagging allows
Aside from emulating LAM's canonical checks behavior, LAM has the usual KVM
touchpoints for selectable features: enumeration (CPUID.7.1:EAX.LAM[bit 26],
enabling via CR3 and CR4 bits, etc.

KVM x86 support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)
Add KVM support for Linear Address Masking (LAM). LAM tweaks the canonicality
checks for most virtual address usage in 64-bit mode, such that only the most
significant bit of the untranslated address bits must match the polarity of the
last translated address bit. This allows software to use ignored, untranslated
address bits for metadata, e.g. to efficiently tag pointers for address
sanitization.
LAM can be enabled separately for user pointers and supervisor pointers, and
for userspace LAM can be select between 48-bit and 57-bit masking
- 48-bit LAM: metadata bits 62:48, i.e. LAM width of 15.
- 57-bit LAM: metadata bits 62:57, i.e. LAM width of 6.
For user pointers, LAM enabling utilizes two previously-reserved high bits from
CR3 (similar to how PCID_NOFLUSH uses bit 63): LAM_U48 and LAM_U57, bits 62 and
61 respectively. Note, if LAM_57 is set, LAM_U48 is ignored, i.e.:
- CR3.LAM_U48=0 && CR3.LAM_U57=0 == LAM disabled for user pointers
- CR3.LAM_U48=1 && CR3.LAM_U57=0 == LAM-48 enabled for user pointers
- CR3.LAM_U48=x && CR3.LAM_U57=1 == LAM-57 enabled for user pointers
For supervisor pointers, LAM is controlled by a single bit, CR4.LAM_SUP, with
the 48-bit versus 57-bit LAM behavior following the current paging mode, i.e.:
- CR4.LAM_SUP=0 && CR4.LA57=x == LAM disabled for supervisor pointers
- CR4.LAM_SUP=1 && CR4.LA57=0 == LAM-48 enabled for supervisor pointers
- CR4.LAM_SUP=1 && CR4.LA57=1 == LAM-57 enabled for supervisor pointers
The modified LAM canonicality checks:
- LAM_S48 : [ 1 ][ metadata ][ 1 ]
63 47
- LAM_U48 : [ 0 ][ metadata ][ 0 ]
63 47
- LAM_S57 : [ 1 ][ metadata ][ 1 ]
63 56
- LAM_U57 + 5-lvl paging : [ 0 ][ metadata ][ 0 ]
63 56
- LAM_U57 + 4-lvl paging : [ 0 ][ metadata ][ 0...0 ]
63 56..47
The bulk of KVM support for LAM is to emulate LAM's modified canonicality
checks. The approach taken by KVM is to "fill" the metadata bits using the
highest bit of the translated address, e.g. for LAM-48, bit 47 is sign-extended
to bits 62:48. The most significant bit, 63, is *not* modified, i.e. its value
from the raw, untagged virtual address is kept for the canonicality check. This
untagging allows
Aside from emulating LAM's canonical checks behavior, LAM has the usual KVM
touchpoints for selectable features: enumeration (CPUID.7.1:EAX.LAM[bit 26],
enabling via CR3 and CR4 bits, etc.
- Fix a variety of bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters and other state

hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is recognized in the same VM-Exit

hardware-triggered overflow and for KVM-triggered overflow.

Unless explicitly told to do so (by passing 'clocksource=tsc' and
'tsc=stable:socket', and then jumping through some hoops concerning
potential CPU hotplug) Xen will never use TSC as its clocksource.
Hence, by default, a Xen guest will not see PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT set
in either the primary or secondary pvclock memory areas. This has
led to bugs in some guest kernels which only become evident if
PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT *is* set in the pvclocks. Hence, to support
such guests, give the VMM a new Xen HVM config flag to tell KVM to
forcibly clear the bit in the Xen pvclocks.

Hyper-V emulation in KVM is a fairly big chunk and in some cases it may be
desirable to not compile it in to reduce module sizes as well as the attack
surface. Introduce CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV option to make it possible.
Note, there's room for further nVMX/nSVM code optimizations when
!CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV, this will be done in follow-up patches.
Reorganize Makefile a bit so all CONFIG_HYPERV and CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV files

Hyper-V partition assist page is used when KVM runs on top of Hyper-V and
is not used for Windows/Hyper-V guests on KVM, this means that 'hv_pa_pg'
placement in 'struct kvm_hv' is unfortunate. As a preparation to making
Hyper-V emulation optional, move 'hv_pa_pg' to 'struct kvm_arch' and put it
under CONFIG_HYPERV.
While on it, introduce hv_get_partition_assist_page() helper to allocate
partition assist page. Move the comment explaining why we use a single page
for all vCPUs from VMX and expand it a bit.

only for RESET, which is really just the same thing as vCPU creation,

Unlike Intel, AMD's amd_pmu_refresh() does fill all_valid_pmc_idx even if

Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the current
TSC generation, e.g. when userspace hotplugs a pre-created vCPU into the
VM. Unnecessarily updating the masterclock is undesirable as it can cause
kvmclock's time to jump, which is particularly painful on systems with a
stable TSC as kvmclock _should_ be fully reliable on such systems.
The unexpected time jumps are due to differences in the TSC=>nanoseconds
conversion algorithms between kvmclock and the host's CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
(the pvclock algorithm is inherently lossy). When updating the
masterclock, KVM refreshes the "base", i.e. moves the elapsed time since
the last update from the kvmclock/pvclock algorithm to the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW algorithm. Synchronizing kvmclock with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is the lesser of evils when the TSC is unstable, but
adds no real value when the TSC is stable.
Prior to commit 7f187922dd ("KVM: x86: update masterclock values on TSC
writes"), KVM did NOT force an update when synchronizing a vCPU to the
current generation.
commit 7f187922dd
Author: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Nov 4 21:30:44 2014 -0200
KVM: x86: update masterclock values on TSC writes
When the guest writes to the TSC, the masterclock TSC copy must be
updated as well along with the TSC_OFFSET update, otherwise a negative
tsc_timestamp is calculated at kvm_guest_time_update.
Once "if (!vcpus_matched && ka->use_master_clock)" is simplified to
"if (ka->use_master_clock)", the corresponding "if (!ka->use_master_clock)"
becomes redundant, so remove the do_request boolean and collapse
everything into a single condition.
Before that, KVM only re-synced the masterclock if the masterclock was
enabled or disabled Note, at the time of the above commit, VMX
synchronized TSC on *guest* writes to MSR_IA32_TSC:
case MSR_IA32_TSC:
kvm_write_tsc(vcpu, msr_info);
break;
which is why the changelog specifically says "guest writes", but the bug
that was being fixed wasn't unique to guest write, i.e. a TSC write from
the host would suffer the same problem.
So even though KVM stopped synchronizing on guest writes as of commit
0c899c25d7 ("KVM: x86: do not attempt TSC synchronization on guest
writes"), simply reverting commit 7f187922dd is not an option. Figuring
out how a negative tsc_timestamp could be computed requires a bit more
sleuthing.
In kvm_write_tsc() (at the time), except for KVM's "less than 1 second"
hack, KVM snapshotted the vCPU's current TSC *and* the current time in
nanoseconds, where kvm->arch.cur_tsc_nsec is the current host kernel time
in nanoseconds:
ns = get_kernel_ns();
...
if (usdiff < USEC_PER_SEC &&
vcpu->arch.virtual_tsc_khz == kvm->arch.last_tsc_khz) {
...
} else {
/*
* We split periods of matched TSC writes into generations.
* For each generation, we track the original measured
* nanosecond time, offset, and write, so if TSCs are in
* sync, we can match exact offset, and if not, we can match
* exact software computation in compute_guest_tsc()
*
* These values are tracked in kvm->arch.cur_xxx variables.
*/
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_generation++;
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_nsec = ns;
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_write = data;
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_offset = offset;
matched = false;
pr_debug("kvm: new tsc generation %llu, clock %llu\n",
kvm->arch.cur_tsc_generation, data);
}
...
/* Keep track of which generation this VCPU has synchronized to */
vcpu->arch.this_tsc_generation = kvm->arch.cur_tsc_generation;
vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec = kvm->arch.cur_tsc_nsec;
vcpu->arch.this_tsc_write = kvm->arch.cur_tsc_write;
Note that the above creates a new generation and sets "matched" to false!
But because kvm_track_tsc_matching() looks for matched+1, i.e. doesn't
require the vCPU that creates the new generation to match itself, KVM
would immediately compute vcpus_matched as true for VMs with a single vCPU.
As a result, KVM would skip the masterlock update, even though a new TSC
generation was created:
vcpus_matched = (ka->nr_vcpus_matched_tsc + 1 ==
atomic_read(&vcpu->kvm->online_vcpus));
if (vcpus_matched && gtod->clock.vclock_mode == VCLOCK_TSC)
if (!ka->use_master_clock)
do_request = 1;
if (!vcpus_matched && ka->use_master_clock)
do_request = 1;
if (do_request)
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_MASTERCLOCK_UPDATE, vcpu);
On hardware without TSC scaling support, vcpu->tsc_catchup is set to true
if the guest TSC frequency is faster than the host TSC frequency, even if
the TSC is otherwise stable. And for that mode, kvm_guest_time_update(),
by way of compute_guest_tsc(), uses vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec, a.k.a. the
kernel time at the last TSC write, to compute the guest TSC relative to
kernel time:
static u64 compute_guest_tsc(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, s64 kernel_ns)
{
u64 tsc = pvclock_scale_delta(kernel_ns-vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec,
vcpu->arch.virtual_tsc_mult,
vcpu->arch.virtual_tsc_shift);
tsc += vcpu->arch.this_tsc_write;
return tsc;
}
Except the "kernel_ns" passed to compute_guest_tsc() isn't the current
kernel time, it's the masterclock snapshot!
spin_lock(&ka->pvclock_gtod_sync_lock);
use_master_clock = ka->use_master_clock;
if (use_master_clock) {
host_tsc = ka->master_cycle_now;
kernel_ns = ka->master_kernel_ns;
}
spin_unlock(&ka->pvclock_gtod_sync_lock);
if (vcpu->tsc_catchup) {
u64 tsc = compute_guest_tsc(v, kernel_ns);
if (tsc > tsc_timestamp) {
adjust_tsc_offset_guest(v, tsc - tsc_timestamp);
tsc_timestamp = tsc;
}
}
And so when KVM skips the masterclock update after a TSC write, i.e. after
a new TSC generation is started, the "kernel_ns-vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec"
is *guaranteed* to generate a negative value, because this_tsc_nsec was
captured after ka->master_kernel_ns.
Forcing a masterclock update essentially fudged around that problem, but
in a heavy handed way that introduced undesirable side effects, i.e.
unnecessarily forces a masterclock update when a new vCPU joins the party
via hotplug.
Note, KVM forces masterclock updates in other weird ways that are also
likely unnecessary, e.g. when establishing a new Xen shared info page and
when userspace creates a brand new vCPU. But the Xen thing is firmly a
separate mess, and there are no known userspace VMMs that utilize kvmclock
*and* create new vCPUs after the VM is up and running. I.e. the other
issues are future problems.

When querying whether or not a vCPU "is" running in kernel mode, directly
get the CPL if the vCPU is the currently loaded vCPU. In scenarios where
a guest is profiled via perf-kvm, querying vcpu->arch.preempted_in_kernel
from kvm_guest_state() is wrong if vCPU is actively running, i.e. isn't
scheduled out due to being preempted and so preempted_in_kernel is stale.
This affects perf/core's ability to accurately tag guest RIP with
PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_{KERNEL|USER} and record it in the sample. This
causes perf/tool to fail to connect the vCPU RIPs to the guest kernel
space symbols when parsing these samples due to incorrect PERF_RECORD_MISC
flags:
Before (perf-report of a cpu-cycles sample):
1.23% :58945 [unknown] [u] 0xffffffff818012e0
After:
1.35% :60703 [kernel.vmlinux] [g] asm_exc_page_fault
Note, checking preempted_in_kernel in kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() is awful
as nothing in the API's suggests that it's safe to use if and only if the
vCPU was preempted. That can be cleaned up in the future, for now just
fix the glaring correctness bug.
Note #2, checking vcpu->preempted is NOT safe, as getting the CPL on VMX
requires VMREAD, i.e. is correct if and only if the vCPU is loaded. If
the target vCPU *was* preempted, then it can be scheduled back in after
the check on vcpu->preempted in kvm_vcpu_on_spin(), i.e. KVM could end up
trying to do VMREAD on a VMCS that isn't loaded on the current pCPU.

Stub in vmx_get_untagged_addr() and wire up calls from the emulator (via
get_untagged_addr()) and "direct" calls from various VM-Exit handlers in
VMX where LAM untagging is supposed to be applied. Defer implementing
the guts of vmx_get_untagged_addr() to future patches purely to make the
changes easier to consume.
LAM is active only for 64-bit linear addresses and several types of
accesses are exempted.
- Cases need to untag address (handled in get_vmx_mem_address())
Operand(s) of VMX instructions and INVPCID.
Operand(s) of SGX ENCLS.
- Cases LAM doesn't apply to (no change needed)
Operand of INVLPG.
Linear address in INVPCID descriptor.
Linear address in INVVPID descriptor.
BASEADDR specified in SECS of ECREATE.
Note:
- LAM doesn't apply to write to control registers or MSRs
- LAM masking is applied before walking page tables, i.e. the faulting
linear address in CR2 doesn't contain the metadata.
- The guest linear address saved in VMCS doesn't contain metadata.

When enabled feature like Intel Linear Address Masking (LAM) or AMD Upper

needs to be dropped prior to canonicality checks, i.e. the metadata is
ignored.
Introduce get_untagged_addr() to kvm_x86_ops to hide the vendor specific

Add a new x86 VM type, KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM, to serve as a development
and testing vehicle for Confidential (CoCo) VMs, and potentially to even
become a "real" product in the distant future, e.g. a la pKVM.
The private memory support in KVM x86 is aimed at AMD's SEV-SNP and
Intel's TDX, but those technologies are extremely complex (understatement),
difficult to debug, don't support running as nested guests, and require
hardware that's isn't universally accessible. I.e. relying SEV-SNP or TDX
for maintaining guest private memory isn't a realistic option.
At the very least, KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM will enable a variety of
selftests for guest_memfd and private memory support without requiring
unique hardware.

Let x86 track the number of address spaces on a per-VM basis so that KVM
can disallow SMM memslots for confidential VMs. Confidentials VMs are
fundamentally incompatible with emulating SMM, which as the name suggests
requires being able to read and write guest memory and register state.
Disallowing SMM will simplify support for guest private memory, as KVM
will not need to worry about tracking memory attributes for multiple
address spaces (SMM is the only "non-default" address space across all
architectures).

Disallow creating hugepages with mixed memory attributes, e.g. shared
versus private, as mapping a hugepage in this case would allow the guest
to access memory with the wrong attributes, e.g. overlaying private memory
with a shared hugepage.
Tracking whether or not attributes are mixed via the existing
disallow_lpage field, but use the most significant bit in 'disallow_lpage'
to indicate a hugepage has mixed attributes instead using the normal
refcounting. Whether or not attributes are mixed is binary; either they
are or they aren't. Attempting to squeeze that info into the refcount is
unnecessarily complex as it would require knowing the previous state of
the mixed count when updating attributes. Using a flag means KVM just
needs to ensure the current status is reflected in the memslots.

Initialize run->exit_reason to KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN early in KVM_RUN to reduce
the probability of exiting to userspace with a stale run->exit_reason that
*appears* to be valid.
To support fd-based guest memory (guest memory without a corresponding
userspace virtual address), KVM will exit to userspace for various memory
related errors, which userspace *may* be able to resolve, instead of using
e.g. BUS_MCEERR_AR. And in the more distant future, KVM will also likely
utilize the same functionality to let userspace "intercept" and handle
memory faults when the userspace mapping is missing, i.e. when fast gup()
fails.
Because many of KVM's internal APIs related to guest memory use '0' to
indicate "success, continue on" and not "exit to userspace", reporting
memory faults/errors to userspace will set run->exit_reason and
corresponding fields in the run structure fields in conjunction with a
a non-zero, negative return code, e.g. -EFAULT or -EHWPOISON. And because
KVM already returns -EFAULT in many paths, there's a relatively high
probability that KVM could return -EFAULT without setting run->exit_reason,
in which case reporting KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN is much better than reporting
whatever exit reason happened to be in the run structure.
Note, KVM must wait until after run->immediate_exit is serviced to
sanitize run->exit_reason as KVM's ABI is that run->exit_reason is
preserved across KVM_RUN when run->immediate_exit is true.

Add a new KVM exit type to allow userspace to handle memory faults that
KVM cannot resolve, but that userspace *may* be able to handle (without
terminating the guest).
KVM will initially use KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT to report implicit
conversions between private and shared memory. With guest private memory,
there will be two kind of memory conversions:
- explicit conversion: happens when the guest explicitly calls into KVM
to map a range (as private or shared)
- implicit conversion: happens when the guest attempts to access a gfn
that is configured in the "wrong" state (private vs. shared)
On x86 (first architecture to support guest private memory), explicit
conversions will be reported via KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL+KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE,
but reporting KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL for implicit conversions is undesriable
as there is (obviously) no hypercall, and there is no guarantee that the
guest actually intends to convert between private and shared, i.e. what
KVM thinks is an implicit conversion "request" could actually be the
result of a guest code bug.
KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT will be used to report memory faults that appear to
be implicit conversions.
Note! To allow for future possibilities where KVM reports
KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT and fills run->memory_fault on _any_ unresolved
fault, KVM returns "-EFAULT" (-1 with errno == EFAULT from userspace's
perspective), not '0'! Due to historical baggage within KVM, exiting to
userspace with '0' from deep callstacks, e.g. in emulation paths, is
infeasible as doing so would require a near-complete overhaul of KVM,
whereas KVM already propagates -errno return codes to userspace even when
the -errno originated in a low level helper.
Report the gpa+size instead of a single gfn even though the initial usage
is expected to always report single pages. It's entirely possible, likely
even, that KVM will someday support sub-page granularity faults, e.g.
Intel's sub-page protection feature allows for additional protections at
128-byte granularity.

Introduce a "version 2" of KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION so that additional
information can be supplied without setting userspace up to fail. The
padding in the new kvm_userspace_memory_region2 structure will be used to
pass a file descriptor in addition to the userspace_addr, i.e. allow
userspace to point at a file descriptor and map memory into a guest that
is NOT mapped into host userspace.
Alternatively, KVM could simply add "struct kvm_userspace_memory_region2"
without a new ioctl(), but as Paolo pointed out, adding a new ioctl()
makes detection of bad flags a bit more robust, e.g. if the new fd field
is guarded only by a flag and not a new ioctl(), then a userspace bug
(setting a "bad" flag) would generate out-of-bounds access instead of an
-EINVAL error.

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.7:
- Add CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS to allow supporting up to 4096 vCPUs without
forcing more common use cases to eat the extra memory overhead.
- Add IBPB and SBPB virtualization support.
- Fix a bug where restoring a vCPU snapshot that was taken within 1 second of
creating the original vCPU would cause KVM to try to synchronize the vCPU's
TSC and thus clobber the correct TSC being set by userspace.
- Compute guest wall clock using a single TSC read to avoid generating an

Service NMI and SMI requests after PMI requests in vcpu_enter_guest() so
that KVM does not need to cancel and redo the VM-Enter if the guest
configures its PMIs to be delivered as NMIs (likely) or SMIs (unlikely).
Because APIC emulation "injects" NMIs via KVM_REQ_NMI, handling PMI
requests after NMI requests (the likely case) means KVM won't detect the
pending NMI request until the final check for outstanding requests.
Detecting requests at the final stage is costly as KVM has already loaded
guest state, potentially queued events for injection, disabled IRQs,
dropped SRCU, etc., most of which needs to be unwound.
Note that changing the order of request processing doesn't change the end
result, as KVM's final check for outstanding requests prevents entering
the guest until all requests are serviced. I.e. KVM will ultimately
coalesce events (or not) regardless of the ordering.
Using SPEC2017 benchmark programs running along with Intel vtune in a VM
demonstrates that the following code change reduces 800~1500 canceled
VM-Enters per second.

Hyper-V enabled Windows Server 2022 KVM VM cannot be started on Zen1 Ryzen
since it crashes at boot with SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED +
STATUS_PRIVILEGED_INSTRUCTION (in other words, because of an unexpected #GP
in the guest kernel).
This is because Windows tries to set bit 8 in MSR_AMD64_TW_CFG and can't
handle receiving a #GP when doing so.
Give this MSR the same treatment that commit 2e32b71906
("x86, kvm: Add MSR_AMD64_BU_CFG2 to the list of ignored MSRs") gave
MSR_AMD64_BU_CFG2 under justification that this MSR is baremetal-relevant
only.
Although apparently it was then needed for Linux guests, not Windows as in
this case.
With this change, the aforementioned guest setup is able to finish booting
successfully.
This issue can be reproduced either on a Summit Ridge Ryzen (with
just "-cpu host") or on a Naples EPYC (with "-cpu host,stepping=1" since
EPYC is ordinarily stepping 2).
Alternatively, userspace could solve the problem by using MSR filters, but
forcing every userspace to define a filter isn't very friendly and doesn't
add much, if any, value. The only potential hiccup is if one of these
"baremetal-only" MSRs ever requires actual emulation and/or has F/M/S
specific behavior. But if that happens, then KVM can still punt *that*
handling to userspace since userspace MSR filters "win" over KVM's default
handling.

- Truncate writes to PMU counters to the counter's width to avoid spurious
overflows when emulating counter events in software.

Mask off xfeatures that aren't exposed to the guest only when saving guest
state via KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} instead of modifying user_xfeatures directly.
Preserving the maximal set of xfeatures in user_xfeatures restores KVM's
ABI for KVM_SET_XSAVE, which prior to commit ad856280dd ("x86/kvm/fpu:
Limit guest user_xfeatures to supported bits of XCR0") allowed userspace
to load xfeatures that are supported by the host, irrespective of what
xfeatures are exposed to the guest.
There is no known use case where userspace *intentionally* loads xfeatures
that aren't exposed to the guest, but the bug fixed by commit ad856280dd
was specifically that KVM_GET_SAVE{2} would save xfeatures that weren't
exposed to the guest, e.g. would lead to userspace unintentionally loading
guest-unsupported xfeatures when live migrating a VM.
Restricting KVM_SET_XSAVE to guest-supported xfeatures is especially
problematic for QEMU-based setups, as QEMU has a bug where instead of
terminating the VM if KVM_SET_XSAVE fails, QEMU instead simply stops
loading guest state, i.e. resumes the guest after live migration with
incomplete guest state, and ultimately results in guest data corruption.
Note, letting userspace restore all host-supported xfeatures does not fix
setups where a VM is migrated from a host *without* commit ad856280dd,
to a target with a subset of host-supported xfeatures. However there is
no way to safely address that scenario, e.g. KVM could silently drop the
unsupported features, but that would be a clear violation of KVM's ABI and
so would require userspace to opt-in, at which point userspace could
simply be updated to sanitize the to-be-loaded XSAVE state.

Plumb an xfeatures mask into __copy_xstate_to_uabi_buf() so that KVM can
constrain which xfeatures are saved into the userspace buffer without
having to modify the user_xfeatures field in KVM's guest_fpu state.
KVM's ABI for KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} is that features that are not exposed to
guest must not show up in the effective xstate_bv field of the buffer.
Saving only the guest-supported xfeatures allows userspace to load the
saved state on a different host with a fewer xfeatures, so long as the
target host supports the xfeatures that are exposed to the guest.
KVM currently sets user_xfeatures directly to restrict KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} to
the set of guest-supported xfeatures, but doing so broke KVM's historical
ABI for KVM_SET_XSAVE, which allows userspace to load any xfeatures that
are supported by the *host*.

Zap KVM TDP when noncoherent DMA assignment starts (noncoherent dma count
transitions from 0 to 1) or stops (noncoherent dma count transitions
from 1 to 0). Before the zap, test if guest MTRR is to be honored after
the assignment starts or was honored before the assignment stops.
When there's no noncoherent DMA device, EPT memory type is
((MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK << VMX_EPT_MT_EPTE_SHIFT) | VMX_EPT_IPAT_BIT)
When there're noncoherent DMA devices, EPT memory type needs to honor
guest CR0.CD and MTRR settings.
So, if noncoherent DMA count transitions between 0 and 1, EPT leaf entries
need to be zapped to clear stale memory type.
This issue might be hidden when the device is statically assigned with
VFIO adding/removing MMIO regions of the noncoherent DMA devices for
several times during guest boot, and current KVM MMU will call
kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() on the memslot removal.
But if the device is hot-plugged, or if the guest has mmio_always_on for
the device, the MMIO regions of it may only be added for once, then there's
no path to do the EPT entries zapping to clear stale memory type.
Therefore do the EPT zapping when noncoherent assignment starts/stops to
ensure stale entries cleaned away.

[sean: fix misspelled words in comment and changelog]
Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
The legacy API for setting the TSC is fundamentally broken, and only
allows userspace to set a TSC "now", without any way to account for
time lost between the calculation of the value, and the kernel eventually
handling the ioctl.
To work around this, KVM has a hack which, if a TSC is set with a value
which is within a second's worth of the last TSC "written" to any vCPU in
the VM, assumes that userspace actually intended the two TSC values to be
in sync and adjusts the newly-written TSC value accordingly.
Thus, when a VMM restores a guest after suspend or migration using the
legacy API, the TSCs aren't necessarily *right*, but at least they're
in sync.
This trick falls down when restoring a guest which genuinely has been
running for less time than the 1 second of imprecision KVM allows for in
in the legacy API. On *creation*, the first vCPU starts its TSC counting
from zero, and the subsequent vCPUs synchronize to that. But then when
the VMM tries to restore a vCPU's intended TSC, because the VM has been
alive for less than 1 second and KVM's default TSC value for new vCPU's is
'0', the intended TSC is within a second of the last "written" TSC and KVM
incorrectly adjusts the intended TSC in an attempt to synchronize.
But further hacks can be piled onto KVM's existing hackish ABI, and
declare that the *first* value written by *userspace* (on any vCPU)
should not be subject to this "correction", i.e. KVM can assume that the
first write from userspace is not an attempt to sync up with TSC values
that only come from the kernel's default vCPU creation.
To that end: Add a flag, kvm->arch.user_set_tsc, protected by
kvm->arch.tsc_write_lock, to record that a TSC for at least one vCPU in
the VM *has* been set by userspace, and make the 1-second slop hack only
trigger if user_set_tsc is already set.
Note that userspace can explicitly request a *synchronization* of the
TSC by writing zero. For the purpose of user_set_tsc, an explicit
synchronization counts as "setting" the TSC, i.e. if userspace then
subsequently writes an explicit non-zero value which happens to be within
1 second of the previous value, the new value will be "corrected". This
behavior is deliberate, as treating explicit synchronization as "setting"
the TSC preserves KVM's existing behaviour inasmuch as possible (KVM
always applied the 1-second "correction" regardless of whether the write
came from userspace vs. the kernel).

On certain CPUs, Linux guests expect HWCR.TscFreqSel[bit 24] to be
set. If it isn't set, they complain:
[Firmware Bug]: TSC doesn't count with P0 frequency!
Allow userspace (and the guest) to set this bit in the virtual HWCR to
eliminate the above complaint.
Allow the guest to write the bit even though its is R/O on *some* CPUs.
Like many bits in HWRC, TscFreqSel is not architectural at all. On Family
10h[1], it was R/W and powered on as 0. In Family 15h, one of the "changes
relative to Family 10H Revision D processors[2] was:
• MSRC001_0015 [Hardware Configuration (HWCR)]:
• Dropped TscFreqSel; TSC can no longer be selected to run at NB P0-state.
Despite the "Dropped" above, that same document later describes
HWCR[bit 24] as follows:
TscFreqSel: TSC frequency select. Read-only. Reset: 1. 1=The TSC
increments at the P0 frequency
If the guest clears the bit, the worst case scenario is the guest will be
no worse off than it is today, e.g. the whining may return after a guest
clears the bit and kexec()'s into a new kernel.
