Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pidfds at process creation
time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the clone() system
call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to
clone() instead of making it a separate system call.
After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the
parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid
and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information
thus becomes rather trivial.
As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on
anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made
unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel
code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd,
signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small.
The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes
to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional.
A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel
supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in
the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status
file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d".
To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes
with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of
CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free
access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>.
Further work based on this patchset has been done by Joel. His work
makes pidfds pollable. It finished too late for this merge window. I
would prefer to have it sitting in linux-next for a while and send it
for inclusion during the 5.3 merge window"

Pull x86 FPU state handling updates from Borislav Petkov:
"This contains work started by Rik van Riel and brought to fruition by
Sebastian Andrzej Siewior with the main goal to optimize when to load
FPU registers: only when returning to userspace and not on every
context switch (while the task remains in the kernel).
In addition, this optimization makes kernel_fpu_begin() cheaper by
requiring registers saving only on the first invocation and skipping
that in following ones.
What is more, this series cleans up and streamlines many aspects of
the already complex FPU code, hopefully making it more palatable for
future improvements and simplifications.
Finally, there's a __user annotations fix from Jann Horn"

Except for RSP and RIP, which are held in VMX's VMCS, GPRs are always
treated "available and dirtly" on both VMX and SVM, i.e. are
unconditionally loaded/saved immediately before/after VM-Enter/VM-Exit.
Eliminating the unnecessary caching code reduces the size of KVM by a
non-trivial amount, much of which comes from the most common code paths.
E.g. on x86_64, kvm_emulate_cpuid() is reduced from 342 to 182 bytes and
kvm_emulate_hypercall() from 1362 to 1143, with the total size of KVM
dropping by ~1000 bytes. With CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y, the numbers are even
more pronounced, e.g.: 353->182, 1418->1172 and well over 2000 bytes.

pfn_valid check is not sufficient because it only checks if a page has a struct
page or not, if "mem=" was passed to the kernel some valid pages won't have a
struct page. This means that if guests were assigned valid memory that lies
after the mem= boundary it will be passed uncached to the guest no matter what
the guest caching attributes are for this memory.
Introduce a new function e820__mapped_raw_any which is equivalent to
e820__mapped_any but uses the original e820 unmodified and use it to

This doesn't work if get_user_pages_fast() is invoked with a userspace

limiting the kernel memory with mem= in the command line and using
/dev/mem to map memory).

Checking for a pending non-periodic interrupt in start_hv_timer() leads
to restart_apic_timer() making an unnecessary call to start_sw_timer()
due to start_hv_timer() returning false.
Alternatively, start_hv_timer() could return %true when there is a
pending non-periodic interrupt, but that approach is less intuitive,
i.e. would require a beefy comment to explain an otherwise simple check.

Functionally, the existing code is correct in the sense that it doesn't
doing anything visibily wrong, e.g. generate spurious interrupts or miss
an interrupt. But it's extremely confusing and inefficient, e.g. there
are multiple extraneous calls to apic_timer_expired() that effectively

Since commits 668fffa3f838 ("kvm: better MWAIT emulation for guestsâ€)
and 4d5422cea3b6 ("KVM: X86: Provide a capability to disable MWAIT interceptsâ€),
KVM was modified to allow an admin to configure certain guests to execute
MONITOR/MWAIT inside guest without being intercepted by host.
This is useful in case admin wishes to allocate a dedicated logical
processor for each vCPU thread. Thus, making it safe for guest to
completely control the power-state of the logical processor.
The ability to use this new KVM capability was introduced to QEMU by
commits 6f131f13e68d ("kvm: support -overcommit cpu-pm=on|offâ€) and
2266d4431132 ("i386/cpu: make -cpu host support monitor/mwaitâ€).
However, exposing MONITOR/MWAIT to a Linux guest may cause it's intel_idle
kernel module to execute c1e_promotion_disable() which will attempt to
RDMSR/WRMSR from/to MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL to manipulate the "C1E Enable"
bit. This behaviour was introduced by commit
32e9518005c8 ("intel_idle: export both C1 and C1Eâ€).
Becuase KVM doesn't emulate this MSR, running KVM with ignore_msrs=0
will cause the above guest behaviour to raise a #GP which will cause
guest to kernel panic.
Therefore, add support for nop emulation of MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL to
avoid #GP in guest in this scenario.
Future commits can optimise emulation further by reflecting guest
MSR changes to host MSR to provide guest with the ability to
fine-tune the dedicated logical processor power-state.

KVM's recent bug fix to update %rip after emulating I/O broke userspace
that relied on the previous behavior of incrementing %rip prior to
exiting to userspace. When running a Windows XP guest on AMD hardware,
Qemu may patch "OUT 0x7E" instructions in reaction to the OUT itself.
Because KVM's old behavior was to increment %rip before exiting to
userspace to handle the I/O, Qemu manually adjusted %rip to account for
the OUT instruction.
Arguably this is a userspace bug as KVM requires userspace to re-enter
the kernel to complete instruction emulation before taking any other
actions. That being said, this is a bit of a grey area and breaking
userspace that has worked for many years is bad.
Pre-increment %rip on OUT to port 0x7e before exiting to userspace to
hack around the issue.

The not-so-recent change to move VMX's VM-Exit handing to a dedicated
"function" unintentionally exposed KVM to a speculative attack from the
guest by executing a RET prior to stuffing the RSB. Make RSB stuffing
happen immediately after VM-Exit, before any unpaired returns.
Alternatively, the VM-Exit path could postpone full RSB stuffing until
its current location by stuffing the RSB only as needed, or by avoiding
returns in the VM-Exit path entirely, but both alternatives are beyond
ugly since vmx_vmexit() has multiple indirect callers (by way of
vmx_vmenter()). And putting the RSB stuffing immediately after VM-Exit
makes it much less likely to be re-broken in the future.
Note, the cost of PUSH/POP could be avoided in the normal flow by
pairing the PUSH RAX with the POP RAX in __vmx_vcpu_run() and adding an
a POP to nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw(), but such a weird/subtle
dependency is likely to cause problems in the long run, and PUSH/POP
will take all of a few cycles, which is peanuts compared to the number
of cycles required to fill the RSB.

To minimize the latency of timer interrupts as observed by the guest,
KVM adjusts the values it programs into the host timers to account for
the host's overhead of programming and handling the timer event. In
the event that the adjustments are too aggressive, i.e. the timer fires
earlier than the guest expects, KVM busy waits immediately prior to
entering the guest.
Currently, KVM manually converts the delay from nanoseconds to clock
cycles. But, the conversion is done in the guest's time domain, while
the delay occurs in the host's time domain. This is perfectly ok when
the guest and host are using the same TSC ratio, but if the guest is
using a different ratio then the delay may not be accurate and could
wait too little or too long.
When the guest is not using the host's ratio, convert the delay from
guest clock cycles to host nanoseconds and use ndelay() instead of
__delay() to provide more accurate timing. Because converting to
nanoseconds is relatively expensive, e.g. requires division and more
multiplication ops, continue using __delay() directly when guest and
host TSCs are running at the same ratio.

The introduction of adaptive tuning of lapic timer advancement did not
allow for the scenario where userspace would want to disable adaptive
tuning but still employ timer advancement, e.g. for testing purposes or
to handle a use case where adaptive tuning is unable to settle on a
suitable time. This is epecially pertinent now that KVM places a hard
threshold on the maximum advancment time.
Rework the timer semantics to accept signed values, with a value of '-1'
being interpreted as "use adaptive tuning with KVM's internal default",
and any other value being used as an explicit advancement time, e.g. a
time of '0' effectively disables advancement.
Note, this does not completely restore the original behavior of
lapic_timer_advance_ns. Prior to tracking the advancement per vCPU,
which is necessary to support autotuning, userspace could adjust
lapic_timer_advance_ns for *running* vCPU. With per-vCPU tracking, the
module params are snapshotted at vCPU creation, i.e. applying a new
advancement effectively requires restarting a VM.
Dynamically updating a running vCPU is possible, e.g. a helper could be
added to retrieve the desired delay, choosing between the global module
param and the per-VCPU value depending on whether or not auto-tuning is
(globally) enabled, but introduces a great deal of complexity. The
wrapper itself is not complex, but understanding and documenting the
effects of dynamically toggling auto-tuning and/or adjusting the timer
advancement is nigh impossible since the behavior would be dependent on
KVM's implementation as well as compiler optimizations. In other words,
providing stable behavior would require extremely careful consideration
now and in the future.
Given that the expected use of a manually-tuned timer advancement is to
"tune once, run many", use the vastly simpler approach of recognizing
changes to the module params only when creating a new vCPU.

Automatically adjusting the globally-shared timer advancement could
corrupt the timer, e.g. if multiple vCPUs are concurrently adjusting
the advancement value. That could be partially fixed by using a local
variable for the arithmetic, but it would still be susceptible to a
race when setting timer_advance_adjust_done.
And because virtual_tsc_khz and tsc_scaling_ratio are per-vCPU, the
correct calibration for a given vCPU may not apply to all vCPUs.
Furthermore, lapic_timer_advance_ns is marked __read_mostly, which is
effectively violated when finding a stable advancement takes an extended
amount of timer.
Opportunistically change the definition of lapic_timer_advance_ns to
a u32 so that it matches the style of struct kvm_timer. Explicitly
pass the param to kvm_create_lapic() so that it doesn't have to be
exposed to lapic.c, thus reducing the probability of unintentionally
using the global value instead of the per-vCPU value.

To minimize the latency of timer interrupts as observed by the guest,
KVM adjusts the values it programs into the host timers to account for
the host's overhead of programming and handling the timer event. Now
that the timer advancement is automatically tuned during runtime, it's
effectively unbounded by default, e.g. if KVM is running as L1 the
advancement can measure in hundreds of milliseconds.
Disable timer advancement if adaptive tuning yields an advancement of
more than 5000ns, as large advancements can break reasonable assumptions
of the guest, e.g. that a timer configured to fire after 1ms won't
arrive on the next instruction. Although KVM busy waits to mitigate the
case of a timer event arriving too early, complications can arise when
shifting the interrupt too far, e.g. kvm-unit-test's vmx.interrupt test
will fail when its "host" exits on interrupts as KVM may inject the INTR
before the guest executes STI+HLT. Arguably the unit test is "broken"
in the sense that delaying a timer interrupt by 1ms doesn't technically
guarantee the interrupt will arrive after STI+HLT, but it's a reasonable
assumption that KVM should support.
Furthermore, an unbounded advancement also effectively unbounds the time
spent busy waiting, e.g. if the guest programs a timer with a very large
delay.
5000ns is a somewhat arbitrary threshold. When running on bare metal,
which is the intended use case, timer advancement is expected to be in
the general vicinity of 1000ns. 5000ns is high enough that false
positives are unlikely, while not being so high as to negatively affect
the host's performance/stability.
Note, a future patch will enable userspace to disable KVM's adaptive
tuning, which will allow priveleged userspace will to specifying an
advancement value in excess of this arbitrary threshold in order to
satisfy an abnormal use case.

It was reported that with some special Multi Processor Group configuration,
e.g:
bcdedit.exe /set groupsize 1
bcdedit.exe /set maxgroup on
bcdedit.exe /set groupaware on
for a 16-vCPU guest WS2012 shows BSOD on boot when PV TLB flush mechanism
is in use.
Tracing kvm_hv_flush_tlb immediately reveals the issue:
kvm_hv_flush_tlb: processor_mask 0x0 address_space 0x0 flags 0x2
The only flag set in this request is HV_FLUSH_ALL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_SPACES,
however, processor_mask is 0x0 and no HV_FLUSH_ALL_PROCESSORS is specified.
We don't flush anything and apparently it's not what Windows expects.
TLFS doesn't say anything about such requests and newer Windows versions
seem to be unaffected. This all feels like a WS2012 bug, which is, however,
easy to workaround in KVM: let's flush everything when we see an empty
flush request, over-flushing doesn't hurt.

If guest sets MSR_IA32_TSCDEADLINE to value such that in host
time-domain it's shorter than lapic_timer_advance_ns, we can
reach a case that we call hrtimer_start() with expiration time set at
the past.
Because lapic_timer.timer is init with HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_PINNED, it
is not allowed to run in softirq and therefore will never expire.
To avoid such a scenario, verify that deadline expiration time is set on
host time-domain further than (now + lapic_timer_advance_ns).
A future patch can also consider adding a min_timer_deadline_ns module parameter,
similar to min_timer_period_us to avoid races that amount of ns it takes
to run logic could still call hrtimer_start() with expiration timer set
at the past.

KVM allows userspace to violate consistency checks related to the
guest's CPUID model to some degree. Generally speaking, userspace has
carte blanche when it comes to guest state so long as jamming invalid
state won't negatively affect the host.
Currently this is seems to be a non-issue as most of the interesting
EFER checks are missing, e.g. NX and LME, but those will be added
shortly. Proactively exempt userspace from the CPUID checks so as not
to break userspace.
Note, the efer_reserved_bits check still applies to userspace writes as
that mask reflects the host's capabilities, e.g. KVM shouldn't allow a
guest to run with NX=1 if it has been disabled in the host.

Most, but not all, helpers that are related to emulating consistency
checks for nested VM-Entry return -EINVAL when a check fails. Convert
the holdouts to have consistency throughout and to make it clear that
the functions are signaling pass/fail as opposed to "resume guest" vs.
"exit to userspace".
Opportunistically fix bad indentation in nested_vmx_check_guest_state().

Convert all top-level nested VM-Enter consistency check functions to
return 0/-EINVAL instead of failure codes, since now they can only
ever return one failure code.
This also does not give the false impression that failure information is
always consumed and/or relevant, e.g. vmx_set_nested_state() only
cares whether or not the checks were successful.
nested_check_host_control_regs() can also now be inlined into its caller,
nested_vmx_check_host_state, since the two have effectively become the
same function.

Rename the top-level consistency check functions to (loosely) align with
the SDM. Historically, KVM has used the terms "prereq" and "postreq" to
differentiate between consistency checks that lead to VM-Fail and those
that lead to VM-Exit. The terms are vague and potentially misleading,
e.g. "postreq" might be interpreted as occurring after VM-Entry.
Note, while the SDM lumps controls and host state into a single section,
"Checks on VMX Controls and Host-State Area", split them into separate
top-level functions as the two categories of checks result in different
VM instruction errors. This split will allow for additional cleanup.
Note #2, "vmentry" is intentionally dropped from the new function names
to avoid confusion with nested_check_vm_entry_controls(), and to keep
the length of the functions names somewhat manageable.

Per Intel's SDM, volume 3, section Checking and Loading Guest State:
Because the checking and the loading occur concurrently, a failure may
be discovered only after some state has been loaded. For this reason,
the logical processor responds to such failures by loading state from
the host-state area, as it would for a VM exit.
In other words, a failed non-register state consistency check results in
a VM-Exit, not VM-Fail. Moving the non-reg state checks also paves the
way for renaming nested_vmx_check_vmentry_postreqs() to align with the
SDM, i.e. nested_vmx_check_vmentry_guest_state().
