Allow userspace to advertise TDG.VP.VMCALL subfunctions that the
kernel also supports. For each output register of GetTdVmCallInfo's
leaf 1, add two fields to KVM_TDX_CAPABILITIES: one for kernel-supported
TDVMCALLs (userspace can set those blindly) and one for user-supported
TDVMCALLs (userspace can set those if it knows how to handle them).

Document a flaw in KVM's ABI which lets userspace attempt to inject a
"bad" hardware exception event, and thus induce VM-Fail on Intel CPUs.
Fixing the flaw is a fool's errand, as AMD doesn't sanity check the
validity of the error code, Intel CPUs that support CET relax the check
for Protected Mode, userspace can change the mode after queueing an
exception, KVM ignores the error code when emulating Real Mode exceptions,
and so on and so forth.
The VM-Fail itself doesn't harm KVM or the kernel beyond triggering a
ratelimited pr_warn(), so just document the oddity.

KVM x86 MTRR virtualization removal
Remove support for virtualizing MTRRs on Intel CPUs, along with a nasty CR0.CD
hack, and instead always honor guest PAT on CPUs that support self-snoop.
|
|
Drop KVM's emulation of CR0.CD=1 on Intel CPUs now that KVM no longer
honors guest MTRR memtypes, as forcing UC memory for VMs with
non-coherent DMA only makes sense if the guest is using something other
than PAT to configure the memtype for the DMA region.
Furthermore, KVM has forced WB memory for CR0.CD=1 since commit
fb279950ba02 ("KVM: vmx: obey KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED"), and no known
VMM in existence disables KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED, let alone does
so with non-coherent DMA.
Lastly, commit fb279950ba02 ("KVM: vmx: obey KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED") was
from the same author as commit b18d5431acc7 ("KVM: x86: fix CR0.CD
virtualization"), and followed by a mere month. I.e. forcing UC memory
was likely the result of code inspection or perhaps misdiagnosed failures,
and not the necessitate by a concrete use case.
Update KVM's documentation to note that KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED is now
AMD-only, and to take an erratum for lack of CR0.CD virtualization on
Intel.

Remove KVM's support for virtualizing guest MTRR memtypes, as full MTRR
adds no value, negatively impacts guest performance, and is a maintenance
burden due to it's complexity and oddities.
KVM's approach to virtualizating MTRRs make no sense, at all. KVM *only*
honors guest MTRR memtypes if EPT is enabled *and* the guest has a device
that may perform non-coherent DMA access. From a hardware virtualization
perspective of guest MTRRs, there is _nothing_ special about EPT. Legacy
shadowing paging doesn't magically account for guest MTRRs, nor does NPT.
Unwinding and deciphering KVM's murky history, the MTRR virtualization
code appears to be the result of misdiagnosed issues when EPT + VT-d with
passthrough devices was enabled years and years ago. And importantly, the
underlying bugs that were fudged around by honoring guest MTRR memtypes
have since been fixed (though rather poorly in some cases).
The zapping GFNs logic in the MTRR virtualization code came from:

KVM: MMU: fix MTRR update
Currently, whenever guest MTRR registers are changed
kvm_mmu_reset_context is called to switch to the new root shadow page
table, however, it's useless since:
1) the cache type is not cached into shadow page's attribute so that
the original root shadow page will be reused
2) the cache type is set on the last spte, that means we should sync
the last sptes when MTRR is changed
This patch fixs this issue by drop all the spte in the gfn range which
is being updated by MTRR
which was a fix for:

KVM: VMX: Set IGMT bit in EPT entry
There is a potential issue that, when guest using pagetable without vmexit when
EPT enabled, guest would use PAT/PCD/PWT bits to index PAT msr for it's memory,
which would be inconsistent with host side and would cause host MCE due to
inconsistent cache attribute.
The patch set IGMT bit in EPT entry to ignore guest PAT and use WB as default
memory type to protect host (notice that all memory mapped by KVM should be WB).
Note the CommitDates! The AuthorDates strongly suggests Sheng Yang added
the whole "ignoreIGMT things as a bug fix for issues that were detected
during EPT + VT-d + passthrough enabling, but it was applied earlier
because it was a generic fix.
Jumping back to 0bed3b568b68 ("KVM: Improve MTRR structure"), the other
relevant code, or rather lack thereof, is the handling of *host* MMIO.
That fix came in a bit later, but given the author and timing, it's safe
to say it was all part of the same EPT+VT-d enabling mess.

KVM: MMU: Map device MMIO as UC in EPT
Software are not allow to access device MMIO using cacheable memory type, the
patch limit MMIO region with UC and WC(guest can select WC using PAT and
PCD/PWT).
In addition to the host MMIO and IGMT issues, KVM's MTRR virtualization
was obviously never tested on NPT until much later, which lends further
credence to the theory/argument that this was all the result of
misdiagnosed issues.
Discussion from the EPT+MTRR enabling thread[*] more or less confirms that
Sheng Yang was trying to resolve issues with passthrough MMIO.

And in the same thread, there's also what appears to be confirmation of
Intel running into issues with Windows XP related to a guest device driver
mapping DMA with WC in the PAT.

So, for the most part, what likely happened is that 15 years ago, a few
engineers (a) fixed a #MC problem by ignoring guest PAT and (b) initially
"fixed" passthrough device MMIO by emulating *guest* MTRRs. Except for
the below case, everything since then has been a result of those two
intertwined changes.
The one exception, which is actually yet more confirmation of all of the
above, is the revert of Paolo's attempt at "full" virtualization of guest
MTRRs:

KVM: x86: apply guest MTRR virtualization on host reserved pages
Currently guest MTRR is avoided if kvm_is_reserved_pfn returns true.
However, the guest could prefer a different page type than UC for
such pages. A good example is that pass-throughed VGA frame buffer is
not always UC as host expected.
This patch enables full use of virtual guest MTRRs.
I.e. Paolo tried to add back KVM's behavior before "Map device MMIO as UC
in EPT" and got the same result: machine checks, likely due to the guest
MTRRs not being trustworthy/sane at all times.
Note, Paolo also tried to enable MTRR virtualization on SVM+NPT, but that
too got reverted. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that anyone ever found
a smoking gun, i.e. exactly why emulating guest MTRRs via NPT PAT caused
extremely slow boot times doesn't appear to have a definitive root cause.

KVM: SVM: use NPT page attributes
Right now, NPT page attributes are not used, and the final page
attribute depends solely on gPAT (which however is not synced
correctly), the guest MTRRs and the guest page attributes.
However, we can do better by mimicking what is done for VMX.
In the absence of PCI passthrough, the guest PAT can be ignored
and the page attributes can be just WB. If passthrough is being
used, instead, keep respecting the guest PAT, and emulate the guest
MTRRs through the PAT field of the nested page tables.
The only snag is that WP memory cannot be emulated correctly,
because Linux's default PAT setting only includes the other types.
In short, honoring guest MTRRs for VMX was initially a workaround of
sorts for KVM ignoring guest PAT *and* for KVM not forcing UC for host
MMIO. And while there *are* known cases where honoring guest MTRRs is
desirable, e.g. passthrough VGA frame buffers, the desired behavior in
that case is to get WC instead of UC, i.e. at this point it's for
performance, not correctness.
Furthermore, the complete absence of MTRR virtualization on NPT and
shadow paging proves that, while KVM theoretically can do better, it's
by no means necessary for correctnesss.
Lastly, since kernels mostly rely on firmware to do MTRR setup, and the
host typically provides guest firmware, honoring guest MTRRs is effectively
honoring *host* userspace memtypes, which is also backwards. I.e. it
would be far better for host userspace to communicate its desired memtype
directly to KVM (or perhaps indirectly via VMAs in the host kernel), not
through guest MTRRs.

Add a KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH command to finalize the cryptographic
launch digest which stores the measurement of the guest at launch time.
Also extend the existing SNP firmware data structures to support
disabling the use of Versioned Chip Endorsement Keys (VCEK) by guests as
part of this command.
While finalizing the launch flow, the code also issues the LAUNCH_UPDATE
SNP firmware commands to encrypt/measure the initial VMSA pages for each
configured vCPU, which requires setting the RMP entries for those pages
to private, so also add handling to clean up the RMP entries for these
pages whening freeing vCPUs during shutdown.

A key aspect of a launching an SNP guest is initializing it with a
known/measured payload which is then encrypted into guest memory as
pre-validated private pages and then measured into the cryptographic
launch context created with KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_START so that the guest
can attest itself after booting.
Since all private pages are provided by guest_memfd, make use of the
kvm_gmem_populate() interface to handle this. The general flow is that
guest_memfd will handle allocating the pages associated with the GPA
ranges being initialized by each particular call of
KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE, copying data from userspace into those pages,
and then the post_populate callback will do the work of setting the
RMP entries for these pages to private and issuing the SNP firmware
calls to encrypt/measure them.

KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_START begins the launch process for an SEV-SNP guest.
The command initializes a cryptographic digest context used to construct
the measurement of the guest. Other commands can then at that point be
used to load/encrypt data into the guest's initial launch image.

The idea that no parameter would ever be necessary when enabling SEV or
SEV-ES for a VM was decidedly optimistic. In fact, in some sense it's
already a parameter whether SEV or SEV-ES is desired. Another possible
source of variability is the desired set of VMSA features, as that affects
the measurement of the VM's initial state and cannot be changed
arbitrarily by the hypervisor.
Create a new sub-operation for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP that can take a struct,
and put the new op to work by including the VMSA features as a field of the
struct. The existing KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT use the full set of
supported VMSA features for backwards compatibility.
The struct also includes the usual bells and whistles for future
extensibility: a flags field that must be zero for now, and some padding
at the end.

Refer to commit fd10cde9294f ("KVM paravirt: Add async PF initialization
to PV guest") and commit 344d9588a9df ("KVM: Add PV MSR to enable
asynchronous page faults delivery"). It turns out that at the time when
asyncpf was introduced, the purpose was defining the shared PV data 'struct
kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data' with the size of 64 bytes. However, it made a mistake
and defined the size to 68 bytes, which failed to make fit in a cache line
and made the code inconsistent with the documentation.
Below justification quoted from Sean[*]
KVM (the host side) has *never* read kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data.enabled, and
the documentation clearly states that enabling is based solely on the
bit in the synthetic MSR.
So rather than update the documentation, fix the goof by removing the
enabled filed and use the separate percpu variable instread.
KVM-as-a-host obviously doesn't enforce anything or consume the size,
and changing the header will only affect guests that are rebuilt against
the new header, so there's no chance of ABI breakage between KVM and its
guests. The only possible breakage is if some other hypervisor is
emulating KVM's async #PF (LOL) and relies on the guest to set
kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data.enabled. But (a) I highly doubt such a hypervisor
exists, (b) that would arguably be a violation of KVM's "spec", and
(c) the worst case scenario is that the guest would simply lose async
#PF functionality.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Provide a virtual cache topology to the guest to avoid
inconsistencies with migration on heterogenous systems. Non secure
software has no practical need to traverse the caches by set/way in
the first place
- Add support for taking stage-2 access faults in parallel. This was
an accidental omission in the original parallel faults
implementation, but should provide a marginal improvement to
machines w/o FEAT_HAFDBS (such as hardware from the fruit company)
- A preamble to adding support for nested virtualization to KVM,
including vEL2 register state, rudimentary nested exception
handling and masking unsupported features for nested guests
- Fixes to the PSCI relay that avoid an unexpected host SVE trap when
resuming a CPU when running pKVM
- VGIC maintenance interrupt support for the AIC
- Improvements to the arch timer emulation, primarily aimed at
reducing the trap overhead of running nested
- Add CONFIG_USERFAULTFD to the KVM selftests config fragment in the
interest of CI systems
- Avoid VM-wide stop-the-world operations when a vCPU accesses its
own redistributor
- Serialize when toggling CPACR_EL1.SMEN to avoid unexpected
exceptions in the host
- Aesthetic and comment/kerneldoc fixes
- Drop the vestiges of the old Columbia mailing list and add [Oliver]
as co-maintainer
RISC-V:
- Fix wrong usage of PGDIR_SIZE instead of PUD_SIZE
- Correctly place the guest in S-mode after redirecting a trap to the
guest
- Redirect illegal instruction traps to guest
- SBI PMU support for guest
s390:
- Sort out confusion between virtual and physical addresses, which
currently are the same on s390
- A new ioctl that performs cmpxchg on guest memory
- A few fixes
x86:
- Change tdp_mmu to a read-only parameter
- Separate TDP and shadow MMU page fault paths
- Enable Hyper-V invariant TSC control
- Fix a variety of APICv and AVIC bugs, some of them real-world, some
of them affecting architecurally legal but unlikely to happen in
practice
- Mark APIC timer as expired if its in one-shot mode and the count
underflows while the vCPU task was being migrated
- Advertise support for Intel's new fast REP string features
- Fix a double-shootdown issue in the emergency reboot code
- Ensure GIF=1 and disable SVM during an emergency reboot, i.e. give
SVM similar treatment to VMX
- Update Xen's TSC info CPUID sub-leaves as appropriate
- Add support for Hyper-V's extended hypercalls, where "support" at
this point is just forwarding the hypercalls to userspace
- Clean up the kvm->lock vs. kvm->srcu sequences when updating the
PMU and MSR filters
- One-off fixes and cleanups
- Fix and cleanup the range-based TLB flushing code, used when KVM is
running on Hyper-V
- Add support for filtering PMU events using a mask. If userspace
wants to restrict heavily what events the guest can use, it can now
do so without needing an absurd number of filter entries
- Clean up KVM's handling of "PMU MSRs to save", especially when vPMU
support is disabled
- Add PEBS support for Intel Sapphire Rapids
- Fix a mostly benign overflow bug in SEV's
send|receive_update_data()
- Move several SVM-specific flags into vcpu_svm
x86 Intel:
- Handle NMI VM-Exits before leaving the noinstr region
- A few trivial cleanups in the VM-Enter flows
- Stop enabling VMFUNC for L1 purely to document that KVM doesn't
support EPTP switching (or any other VM function) for L1
- Fix a crash when using eVMCS's enlighted MSR bitmaps
Generic:
- Clean up the hardware enable and initialization flow, which was
scattered around multiple arch-specific hooks. Instead, just let
the arch code call into generic code. Both x86 and ARM should
benefit from not having to fight common KVM code's notion of how to
do initialization
- Account allocations in generic kvm_arch_alloc_vm()
- Fix a memory leak if coalesced MMIO unregistration fails
selftests:
- On x86, cache the CPU vendor (AMD vs. Intel) and use the info to
emit the correct hypercall instruction instead of relying on KVM to
patch in VMMCALL
- Use TAP interface for kvm_binary_stats_test and tsc_msrs_test"

Apply KVM's hotplug hack if and only if userspace has enabled 32-bit IDs
for x2APIC. If 32-bit IDs are not enabled, disable the optimized map to
honor x86 architectural behavior if multiple vCPUs shared a physical APIC
ID. As called out in the changelog that added the hack, all CPUs whose
(possibly truncated) APIC ID matches the target are supposed to receive
the IPI.
KVM intentionally differs from real hardware, because real hardware
(Knights Landing) does just "x2apic_id & 0xff" to decide whether to
accept the interrupt in xAPIC mode and it can deliver one interrupt to
more than one physical destination, e.g. 0x123 to 0x123 and 0x23.
Applying the hack even when x2APIC is not fully enabled means KVM doesn't
correctly handle scenarios where the guest has aliased xAPIC IDs across
multiple vCPUs, as only the vCPU with the lowest vCPU ID will receive any
interrupts. It's extremely unlikely any real world guest aliases APIC
IDs, or even modifies APIC IDs, but KVM's behavior is arbitrary, e.g. the
lowest vCPU ID "wins" regardless of which vCPU is "aliasing" and which
vCPU is "normal".
Furthermore, the hack is _not_ guaranteed to work! The hack works if and
only if the optimized APIC map is successfully allocated. If the map
allocation fails (unlikely), KVM will fall back to its unoptimized
behavior, which _does_ honor the architectural behavior.
Pivot on 32-bit x2APIC IDs being enabled as that is required to take
advantage of the hotplug hack (see kvm_apic_state_fixup()), i.e. won't
break existing setups unless they are way, way off in the weeds.
And an entry in KVM's errata to document the hack. Alternatively, KVM
could provide an actual x2APIC quirk and document the hack that way, but
there's unlikely to ever be a use case for disabling the quirk. Go the
errata route to avoid having to validate a quirk no one cares about.

Currently the OS fails the PSP initialization when the file specified at
'init_ex_path' does not exist or has invalid content. However the SEV
spec just requires users to allocate 32KB of 0xFF in the file, which can
be taken care of by the OS easily.
To improve the robustness during the PSP init, leverage the retry
mechanism and continue the init process:
Before the first INIT_EX call, if the content is invalid or missing,
continue the process by feeding those contents into PSP instead of
aborting. PSP will then override it with 32KB 0xFF and return
SEV_RET_SECURE_DATA_INVALID status code. In the second INIT_EX call,
this 32KB 0xFF content will then be fed and PSP will write the valid
data to the file.
In order to do this, sev_read_init_ex_file should only be called once
for the first INIT_EX call. Calling it again for the second INIT_EX call
will cause the invalid file content overwriting the valid 32KB 0xFF data
provided by PSP in the first INIT_EX call.

When shadowing 5-level NPT for 4-level NPT L1 guest, the root_sp is
allocated with role.level = 5 and the guest pagetable's root gfn.
And root_sp->spt[0] is also allocated with the same gfn and the same
role except role.level = 4. Luckily that they are different shadow
pages, but only root_sp->spt[0] is the real translation of the guest
pagetable.
Here comes a problem:
If the guest switches from gCR4_LA57=0 to gCR4_LA57=1 (or vice verse)
and uses the same gfn as the root page for nested NPT before and after
switching gCR4_LA57. The host (hCR4_LA57=1) might use the same root_sp
for the guest even the guest switches gCR4_LA57. The guest will see
unexpected page mapped and L2 may exploit the bug and hurt L1. It is
lucky that the problem can't hurt L0.
And three special cases need to be handled:
The root_sp should be like role.direct=1 sometimes: its contents are
not backed by gptes, root_sp->gfns is meaningless. (For a normal high
level sp in shadow paging, sp->gfns is often unused and kept zero, but
it could be relevant and meaningful if sp->gfns is used because they
are backed by concrete gptes.)
For such root_sp in the case, root_sp is just a portal to contribute
root_sp->spt[0], and root_sp->gfns should not be used and
root_sp->spt[0] should not be dropped if gpte[0] of the guest root
pagetable is changed.
Such root_sp should not be accounted too.
So add role.passthrough to distinguish the shadow pages in the hash
when gCR4_LA57 is toggled and fix above special cases by using it in
kvm_mmu_page_{get|set}_gfn() and sp_has_gptes().
