Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling virtualization in
hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks is to disable and re-enable
virtualization as needed.
The primary motivation for this series is to simplify dealing with enabling
virtualization for Intel's TDX, which needs to enable virtualization
when kvm-intel.ko is loaded, i.e. long before the first VM is created.
That said, this is a nice cleanup on its own. By registering the callbacks
on-demand, the callbacks themselves don't need to check kvm_usage_count,
because their very existence implies a non-zero count.
Patch 1 (re)adds a dedicated lock for kvm_usage_count. This avoids a
lock ordering issue between cpus_read_lock() and kvm_lock. The lock
ordering issue still exist in very rare cases, and will be fixed for
good by switching vm_list to an (S)RCU-protected list.

Add arch hooks that are invoked when KVM enables/disable virtualization.
x86 will use the hooks to register an "emergency disable" callback, which
is essentially an x86-specific shutdown notifier that is used when the
kernel is doing an emergency reboot/shutdown/kexec.
Add comments for the declarations to help arch code understand exactly
when the callbacks are invoked. Alternatively, the APIs themselves could
communicate most of the same info, but kvm_arch_pre_enable_virtualization()
and kvm_arch_post_disable_virtualization() are a bit cumbersome, and make
it a bit less obvious that they are intended to be implemented as a pair.

As of today, KVM notes a quiescent state only in guest entry, which is good
as it avoids the guest being interrupted for current RCU operations.
While the guest vcpu runs, it can be interrupted by a timer IRQ that will
check for any RCU operations waiting for this CPU. In case there are any of
such, it invokes rcu_core() in order to sched-out the current thread and
note a quiescent state.
This occasional schedule work will introduce tens of microsseconds of
latency, which is really bad for vcpus running latency-sensitive
applications, such as real-time workloads.
So, note a quiescent state in guest exit, so the interrupted guests is able
to deal with any pending RCU operations before being required to invoke
rcu_core(), and thus avoid the overhead of related scheduler work.

Disallow read-only memslots for SEV-{ES,SNP} VM types, as KVM can't
directly emulate instructions for ES/SNP, and instead the guest must
explicitly request emulation. Unless the guest explicitly requests
emulation without accessing memory, ES/SNP relies on KVM creating an MMIO
SPTE, with the subsequent #NPF being reflected into the guest as a #VC.
But for read-only memslots, KVM deliberately doesn't create MMIO SPTEs,
because except for ES/SNP, doing so requires setting reserved bits in the
SPTE, i.e. the SPTE can't be readable while also generating a #VC on
writes. Because KVM never creates MMIO SPTEs and jumps directly to
emulation, the guest never gets a #VC. And since KVM simply resumes the
guest if ES/SNP guests trigger emulation, KVM effectively puts the vCPU
into an infinite #NPF loop if the vCPU attempts to write read-only memory.
Disallow read-only memory for all VMs with protected state, i.e. for
upcoming TDX VMs as well as ES/SNP VMs. For TDX, it's actually possible
to support read-only memory, as TDX uses EPT Violation #VE to reflect the
fault into the guest, e.g. KVM could configure read-only SPTEs with RX
protections and SUPPRESS_VE=0. But there is no strong use case for
supporting read-only memslots on TDX, e.g. the main historical usage is
to emulate option ROMs, but TDX disallows executing from shared memory.
And if someone comes along with a legitimate, strong use case, the
restriction can always be lifted for TDX.
Don't bother trying to retroactively apply the restriction to SEV-ES
VMs that are created as type KVM_X86_DEFAULT_VM. Read-only memslots can't
possibly work for SEV-ES, i.e. disallowing such memslots is really just
means reporting an error to userspace instead of silently hanging vCPUs.
Trying to deal with the ordering between KVM_SEV_INIT and memslot creation
isn't worth the marginal benefit it would provide userspace.

This check is currently performed by sev_gmem_post_populate(), but it
applies to all callers of kvm_gmem_populate(): the point of the function
is that the memory is being encrypted and some work has to be done
on all the gfns in order to encrypt them.
Therefore, check the KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE attribute prior
to invoking the callback, and stop the operation if a shared page
is encountered. Because CONFIG_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM in principle does
not require attributes, this makes kvm_gmem_populate() depend on
CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_PRIVATE_MEM (which does require them).

It is enough to return 0 if a guest need not do any preparation.
This is in fact how sev_gmem_prepare() works for non-SNP guests,
and it extends naturally to Intel hosts: the x86 callback for
gmem_prepare is optional and returns 0 if not defined.

KVM generic changes for 6.11
- Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a clear win.
- Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to synchronize
SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86.
- Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with a flag
that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and sched_out().
- Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace detect bugs.
- Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in the
KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus writing guest
memory when retrieving guest state during live migration blackout.
- A few minor cleanups

Introduce vcpu->wants_to_run to indicate when a vCPU is in its core run
loop, i.e. when the vCPU is running the KVM_RUN ioctl and immediate_exit
was not set.
Replace all references to vcpu->run->immediate_exit with
!vcpu->wants_to_run to avoid TOCTOU races with userspace. For example, a
malicious userspace could invoked KVM_RUN with immediate_exit=true and
then after KVM reads it to set wants_to_run=false, flip it to false.
This would result in the vCPU running in KVM_RUN with
wants_to_run=false. This wouldn't cause any real bugs today but is a
dangerous landmine.

Add a kvm_vcpu.scheduled_out flag to track if a vCPU is in the process of
being scheduled out (vCPU put path), or if the vCPU is being reloaded
after being scheduled out (vCPU load path). In the short term, this will
allow dropping kvm_arch_sched_in(), as arch code can query scheduled_out
during kvm_arch_vcpu_load().
Longer term, scheduled_out opens up other potential optimizations, without
creating subtle/brittle dependencies. E.g. it allows KVM to keep guest
state (that is managed via kvm_arch_vcpu_{load,put}()) loaded across
kvm_sched_{out,in}(), if KVM knows the state isn't accessed by the host
kernel. Forcing arch code to coordinate between kvm_arch_sched_{in,out}()
and kvm_arch_vcpu_{load,put}() is awkward, not reusable, and relies on the
exact ordering of calls into arch code.
Adding scheduled_out also obviates the need for a kvm_arch_sched_out()
hook, e.g. if arch code needs to do something novel when putting vCPU
state.
And even if KVM never uses scheduled_out for anything beyond dropping
kvm_arch_sched_in(), just being able to remove all of the arch stubs makes
it worth adding the flag.

Setup empty IRQ routing during VM creation so that x86 and s390 don't need
to set empty/dummy IRQ routing during KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP (in future
patches). Initializing IRQ routing before there are any potential readers
allows KVM to avoid the synchronize_srcu() in kvm_set_irq_routing(), which
can introduces 20+ milliseconds of latency in the VM creation path.
Ensuring that all VMs have non-NULL IRQ routing also hardens KVM against
misbehaving userspace VMMs, e.g. RISC-V dynamically instantiates its
interrupt controller, but doesn't override kvm_arch_intc_initialized() or
kvm_arch_irqfd_allowed(), and so can likely reach kvm_irq_map_gsi()
without fully initialized IRQ routing.

In some cases, like with SEV-SNP, guest memory needs to be updated in a
platform-specific manner before it can be safely freed back to the host.
Wire up arch-defined hooks to the .free_folio kvm_gmem_aops callback to
allow for special handling of this sort when freeing memory in response
to FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE operations and when releasing the inode, and go
ahead and define an arch-specific hook for x86 since it will be needed
for handling memory used for SEV-SNP guests.

During guest run-time, kvm_arch_gmem_prepare() is issued as needed to
prepare newly-allocated gmem pages prior to mapping them into the guest.
In the case of SEV-SNP, this mainly involves setting the pages to
private in the RMP table.
However, for the GPA ranges comprising the initial guest payload, which
are encrypted/measured prior to starting the guest, the gmem pages need
to be accessed prior to setting them to private in the RMP table so they
can be initialized with the userspace-provided data. Additionally, an
SNP firmware call is needed afterward to encrypt them in-place and
measure the contents into the guest's launch digest.
While it is possible to bypass the kvm_arch_gmem_prepare() hooks so that
this handling can be done in an open-coded/vendor-specific manner, this
may expose more gmem-internal state/dependencies to external callers
than necessary. Try to avoid this by implementing an interface that
tries to handle as much of the common functionality inside gmem as
possible, while also making it generic enough to potentially be
usable/extensible for TDX as well.

guest_memfd pages are generally expected to be in some arch-defined
initial state prior to using them for guest memory. For SEV-SNP this
initial state is 'private', or 'guest-owned', and requires additional
operations to move these pages into a 'private' state by updating the
corresponding entries the RMP table.
Allow for an arch-defined hook to handle updates of this sort, and go
ahead and implement one for x86 so KVM implementations like AMD SVM can
register a kvm_x86_ops callback to handle these updates for SEV-SNP
guests.
The preparation callback is always called when allocating/grabbing
folios via gmem, and it is up to the architecture to keep track of
whether or not the pages are already in the expected state (e.g. the RMP
table in the case of SEV-SNP).
In some cases, it is necessary to defer the preparation of the pages to
handle things like in-place encryption of initial guest memory payloads
before marking these pages as 'private'/'guest-owned'. Add an argument
(always true for now) to kvm_gmem_get_folio() that allows for the
preparation callback to be bypassed. To detect possible issues in
the way userspace initializes memory, it is only possible to add an
unprepared page if it is not already included in the filemap.

Remove kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() as it effectively has no users,
and arguably should never have been added in the first place.
Commit 54163a346d4a ("KVM: Introduce kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except()")
added the "except" variation for use in SVM's AVIC update path, which used
it to skip sending a request to the current vCPU (commit 7d611233b016
("KVM: SVM: Disable AVIC before setting V_IRQ")).
But the AVIC usage of kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() was essentially a
hack-a-fix that simply squashed the most likely scenario of a racy WARN
without addressing the underlying problem(s). Commit f1577ab21442 ("KVM:
SVM: svm_set_vintr don't warn if AVIC is active but is about to be
deactivated") eventually fixed the WARN itself, and the "except" usage was
subsequently dropped by df63202fe52b ("KVM: x86: APICv: drop immediate
APICv disablement on current vCPU").
That kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() hasn't gained any users in the
last ~3 years isn't a coincidence. If a VM-wide broadcast *needs* to skip
the current vCPU, then odds are very good that there is underlying bug
that could be better fixed elsewhere.

The .change_pte() MMU notifier callback was intended as an
optimization. The original point of it was that KSM could tell KVM to flip
its secondary PTE to a new location without having to first zap it. At
the time there was also an .invalidate_page() callback; both of them were
*not* bracketed by calls to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}(),
and .invalidate_page() also doubled as a fallback implementation of
.change_pte().
Later on, however, both callbacks were changed to occur within an
invalidate_range_start/end() block.
In the case of .change_pte(), commit 6bdb913f0a70 ("mm: wrap calls to
set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end",
2012-10-09) did so to remove the fallback from .invalidate_page() to
.change_pte() and allow sleepable .invalidate_page() hooks.
This however made KVM's usage of the .change_pte() callback completely
moot, because KVM unmaps the sPTEs during .invalidate_range_start()
and therefore .change_pte() has no hope of finding a sPTE to change.
Drop the generic KVM code that dispatches to kvm_set_spte_gfn(), as
well as all the architecture specific implementations.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"S390:
- Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request
- Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
requested
- More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same)
- Fix selftests undefined behavior
x86:
- Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
guest CPUID. The enumeration of an architectural event only says
that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can
be programmed *using the architectural encoding*. The enumeration
does NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't
report support the event *in general*. It might support it, and it
might support it using the same encoding that made it into the
architectural PMU spec
- Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly
emulates RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other
PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are
easier to validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka
kvm-unit-tests)
- Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does
not cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM
would check if a PMC event needs to be synthesized
- Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10%
performance improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is
exposed to the guest
- Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if
an NMI arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit
- Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification
information when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit
code
- Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support
- Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock
held for read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace
deletes a memslot
- Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be
1GiB). KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a
zap, and 1GiB granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that
are quite impolite for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels
- Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory
overhead when a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support
but the workloads use neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization
- Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the
emulator that triggered KMSAN false positives
- Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM
- Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code
ultimately decides how and when to force the exit, which allowed
some optimization for both Intel and AMD
- Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left
elevated if vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra
unnecessary work
- Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
in-kernel
- Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
kernel
x86 Xen emulation:
- Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
but the underlying host virtual address remains the same
- When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
timer emulation
- Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
behavior)
- Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
IDs
RISC-V:
- Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests
- New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)
- New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)
- Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs
ARM:
- Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
registers
- Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
assigned devices that can tolerate it
- Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
injection path
- Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register
- Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
selftests
LoongArch:
- Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG
- Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking
- Do not restart SW timer when it is expired
- Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest
- Misc cleanups and fixes as usual
Generic:
- Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else
- Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
requiring each architecture to specify it
- Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers
- Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h
- Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded
- Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's

KVM Xen and pfncache changes for 6.9:
- Rip out the half-baked support for using gfn_to_pfn caches to manage pages
that are "mapped" into guests via physical addresses.
- Add support for using gfn_to_pfn caches with only a host virtual address,
i.e. to bypass the "gfn" stage of the cache. The primary use case is
overlay pages, where the guest may change the gfn used to reference the
overlay page, but the backing hva+pfn remains the same.
- Add an ioctl() to allow mapping Xen's shared_info page using an hva instead
of a gpa, so that userspace doesn't need to reconfigure and invalidate the
cache/mapping if the guest changes the gpa (but userspace keeps the resolved
hva the same).
- When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the deadline for
Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the timer emulation.
- Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its APIC to fix
a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's behavior).
- Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ delivery of Xen
events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC IDs.
- Extend gfn_to_pfn_cache's mutex to cover (de)activation (in addition to
refresh), and drop a now-redundant acquisition of xen_lock (that was
protecting the shared_info cache) to fix a deadlock due to recursively
acquiring xen_lock.

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.9:
- Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the emulator that
triggered KMSAN false positives (though in fairness in KMSAN, it's comically
difficult to see that the uninitialized memory is never truly consumed).
- Fix the deubgregs ABI for 32-bit KVM, and clean up code related to reading
DR6 and DR7.
- Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code ultimately
decides how and when to force the exit. This allows VMX to further optimize
handling preemption timer exits, and allows SVM to avoid sending a duplicate
IPI (SVM also has a need to force an exit).
- Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left elevated if
vCPU creation ultimately failed, and add WARN to guard against similar bugs.
- Provide a dedicated arch hook for checking if a different vCPU was in-kernel
(for directed yield), and simplify the logic for checking if the currently
loaded vCPU is in-kernel.
- Misc cleanups and fixes.

KVM async page fault changes for 6.9:
- Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is being
removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that there are no
workers running in KVM code when all references to KVM-the-module are gone,
i.e. to prevent a use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded.
- Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker itself instead
of gifting the worker a reference, e.g. so that there's no need to remember
to *conditionally* clean up after the worker.

The general expectation with debugfs is that any initialization failure
is nonfatal. Nevertheless, kvm_arch_create_vm_debugfs() allows
implementations to return an error and kvm_create_vm_debugfs() allows
that to fail VM creation.
Change to a void return to discourage architectures from making debugfs
failures fatal for the VM. Seems like everyone already had the right
idea, as all implementations already return 0 unconditionally.

Retry page faults without acquiring mmu_lock, and without even faulting
the page into the primary MMU, if the resolved gfn is covered by an active
invalidation. Contending for mmu_lock is especially problematic on
preemptible kernels as the mmu_notifier invalidation task will yield
mmu_lock (see rwlock_needbreak()), delay the in-progress invalidation, and
ultimately increase the latency of resolving the page fault. And in the
worst case scenario, yielding will be accompanied by a remote TLB flush,
e.g. if the invalidation covers a large range of memory and vCPUs are
accessing addresses that were already zapped.
Faulting the page into the primary MMU is similarly problematic, as doing
so may acquire locks that need to be taken for the invalidation to
complete (the primary MMU has finer grained locks than KVM's MMU), and/or
may cause unnecessary churn (getting/putting pages, marking them accessed,
etc).
Alternatively, the yielding issue could be mitigated by teaching KVM's MMU
iterators to perform more work before yielding, but that wouldn't solve
the lock contention and would negatively affect scenarios where a vCPU is
trying to fault in an address that is NOT covered by the in-progress
invalidation.
Add a dedicated lockess version of the range-based retry check to avoid
false positives on the sanity check on start+end WARN, and so that it's
super obvious that checking for a racing invalidation without holding
mmu_lock is unsafe (though obviously useful).
Wrap mmu_invalidate_in_progress in READ_ONCE() to ensure that pre-checking
invalidation in a loop won't put KVM into an infinite loop, e.g. due to
caching the in-progress flag and never seeing it go to '0'.
Force a load of mmu_invalidate_seq as well, even though it isn't strictly
necessary to avoid an infinite loop, as doing so improves the probability
that KVM will detect an invalidation that already completed before
acquiring mmu_lock and bailing anyways.
Do the pre-check even for non-preemptible kernels, as waiting to detect
the invalidation until mmu_lock is held guarantees the vCPU will observe
the worst case latency in terms of handling the fault, and can generate
even more mmu_lock contention. E.g. the vCPU will acquire mmu_lock,
detect retry, drop mmu_lock, re-enter the guest, retake the fault, and
eventually re-acquire mmu_lock. This behavior is also why there are no
new starvation issues due to losing the fairness guarantees provided by
rwlocks: if the vCPU needs to retry, it _must_ drop mmu_lock, i.e. waiting
on mmu_lock doesn't guarantee forward progress in the face of _another_
mmu_notifier invalidation event.
Note, adding READ_ONCE() isn't entirely free, e.g. on x86, the READ_ONCE()
may generate a load into a register instead of doing a direct comparison
(MOV+TEST+Jcc instead of CMP+Jcc), but practically speaking the added cost
is a few bytes of code and maaaaybe a cycle or three.

Plumb in a dedicated hook for querying whether or not a vCPU was preempted
in-kernel. Unlike literally every other architecture, x86's VMX can check
if a vCPU is in kernel context if and only if the vCPU is loaded on the
current pCPU.
x86's kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() works around the limitation by querying
kvm_get_running_vcpu() and redirecting to vcpu->arch.preempted_in_kernel
as needed. But that's unnecessary, confusing, and fragile, e.g. x86 has
had at least one bug where KVM incorrectly used a stale
preempted_in_kernel.
No functional change intended.

As noted in [1] the KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN usage flag is never set by any
callers of kvm_gpc_init(), and for good reason: the implementation is
incomplete/broken. And it's not clear that there will ever be a user of
KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN, as coordinating vCPUs with mmu_notifier events is
non-trivial.
Remove KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN and all related code, e.g. dropping
KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN also makes the 'vcpu' argument redundant, to avoid
having to reason about broken code as __kvm_gpc_refresh() evolves.
Moreover, all existing callers specify KVM_HOST_USES_PFN so the usage
check in hva_to_pfn_retry() and hence the 'usage' argument to
kvm_gpc_init() are also redundant.

Get a reference to the target VM's address space in async_pf_execute()
instead of gifting a reference from kvm_setup_async_pf(). Keeping the
address space alive just to service an async #PF is counter-productive,
i.e. if the process is exiting and all vCPUs are dead, then NOT doing
get_user_pages_remote() and freeing the address space asap is desirable.
Handling the mm reference entirely within async_pf_execute() also
simplifies the async #PF flows as a whole, e.g. it's not immediately
obvious when the worker task vs. the vCPU task is responsible for putting
the gifted mm reference.

Introduce several new KVM uAPIs to ultimately create a guest-first memory
subsystem within KVM, a.k.a. guest_memfd. Guest-first memory allows KVM
to provide features, enhancements, and optimizations that are kludgly
or outright impossible to implement in a generic memory subsystem.
The core KVM ioctl() for guest_memfd is KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, which
similar to the generic memfd_create(), creates an anonymous file and
returns a file descriptor that refers to it. Again like "regular"
memfd files, guest_memfd files live in RAM, have volatile storage,
and are automatically released when the last reference is dropped.
The key differences between memfd files (and every other memory subystem)
is that 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
convert a guest memory area between the shared and guest-private states.
A second KVM ioctl(), KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, allows userspace to
specify attributes for a given page of guest memory. In the long term,
it will likely be extended to allow userspace to specify per-gfn RWX
protections, including allowing memory to be writable in the guest
without it also being writable in host userspace.
The immediate and driving use case for guest_memfd are Confidential
(CoCo) VMs, specifically AMD's SEV-SNP, Intel's TDX, and KVM's own pKVM.
For such use cases, being able to map memory into KVM guests without
requiring said memory to be mapped into the host is a hard requirement.
While SEV+ and TDX prevent untrusted software from reading guest private
data by encrypting guest memory, pKVM provides confidentiality and
integrity *without* relying on memory encryption. In addition, with
SEV-SNP and especially TDX, accessing guest private memory can be fatal
to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host userspace from accessing
guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Long term, guest_memfd may be useful for use cases beyond CoCo VMs,
for example hardening userspace against unintentional accesses to guest
memory. As mentioned earlier, KVM's ABI uses userspace VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection (with an exception granted to mapping
guest memory executable), and similarly KVM currently requires the guest
mapping size to be a strict subset of the host userspace mapping size.
Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely map
only what is needed and with the required permissions, without impacting
guest performance.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to DMA from or into guest memory).
guest_memfd is the result of 3+ years of development and exploration;
taking on memory management responsibilities in KVM was not the first,
second, or even third choice for supporting CoCo VMs. But after many
failed attempts to avoid KVM-specific backing memory, and looking at
where things ended up, it is quite clear that of all approaches tried,
guest_memfd is the simplest, most robust, and most extensible, and the
right thing to do for KVM and the kernel at-large.
The "development cycle" for this version is going to be very short;
ideally, next week I will merge it as is in kvm/next, taking this through
the KVM tree for 6.8 immediately after the end of the merge window.
The series is still based on 6.6 (plus KVM changes for 6.7) so it
will require a small fixup for changes to get_file_rcu() introduced in
6.7 by commit 0ede61d8589c ("file: convert to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU").
The fixup will be done as part of the merge commit, and most of the text
above will become the commit message for the merge.
Pending post-merge work includes:
- hugepage support
- looking into using the restrictedmem framework for guest memory
- introducing a testing mechanism to poison memory, possibly using
the same memory attributes introduced here
- SNP and TDX support
There are two non-KVM patches buried in the middle of this series:
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).

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).

Add support for resolving page faults on guest private memory for VMs
that differentiate between "shared" and "private" memory. For such VMs,
KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD memslots can include both fd-based private memory and
hva-based shared memory, and KVM needs to map in the "correct" variant,
i.e. KVM needs to map the gfn shared/private as appropriate based on the
current state of the gfn's KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE flag.
For AMD's SEV-SNP and Intel's TDX, the guest effectively gets to request
shared vs. private via a bit in the guest page tables, i.e. what the guest
wants may conflict with the current memory attributes. To support such
"implicit" conversion requests, exit to user with KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT
to forward the request to userspace. Add a new flag for memory faults,
KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_PRIVATE, to communicate whether the guest wants to
map memory as shared vs. private.
Like KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE, use bit 3 for flagging private memory
so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for capturing RWX behavior if/when userspace
needs such information, e.g. a likely user of KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT is to
exit on missing mappings when handling guest page fault VM-Exits. In
that case, userspace will want to know RWX information in order to
correctly/precisely resolve the fault.
Note, private memory *must* be backed by guest_memfd, i.e. shared mappings
always come from the host userspace page tables, and private mappings
always come from a guest_memfd instance.

Introduce an ioctl(), KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, to allow creating file-based
memory that is tied to a specific KVM virtual machine and whose primary
purpose is to serve guest memory.
A guest-first memory subsystem allows for optimizations and enhancements
that are kludgy or outright infeasible to implement/support in a generic
memory subsystem. With guest_memfd, guest protections and mapping sizes
are fully decoupled from host userspace mappings. E.g. KVM currently
doesn't support mapping memory as writable in the guest without it also
being writable in host userspace, as KVM's ABI uses VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection. Userspace can fudge this by
establishing two mappings, a writable mapping for the guest and readable
one for itself, but that’s suboptimal on multiple fronts.
Similarly, KVM currently requires the guest mapping size to be a strict
subset of the host userspace mapping size, e.g. KVM doesn’t support
creating a 1GiB guest mapping unless userspace also has a 1GiB guest
mapping. Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely
map only what is needed without impacting guest performance, e.g. to
harden against unintentional accesses to guest memory.
Decoupling guest and userspace mappings may also allow for a cleaner
alternative to high-granularity mappings for HugeTLB, which has reached a
bit of an impasse and is unlikely to ever be merged.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to mmap() guest memory).
More immediately, being able to map memory into KVM guests without mapping
said memory into the host is critical for Confidential VMs (CoCo VMs), the
initial use case for guest_memfd. While AMD's SEV and Intel's TDX prevent
untrusted software from reading guest private data by encrypting guest
memory with a key that isn't usable by the untrusted host, projects such
as Protected KVM (pKVM) provide confidentiality and integrity *without*
relying on memory encryption. And with SEV-SNP and TDX, accessing guest
private memory can be fatal to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host
userspace from accessing guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Attempt #1 to support CoCo VMs was to add a VMA flag to mark memory as
being mappable only by KVM (or a similarly enlightened kernel subsystem).
That approach was abandoned largely due to it needing to play games with
PROT_NONE to prevent userspace from accessing guest memory.
Attempt #2 to was to usurp PG_hwpoison to prevent the host from mapping
guest private memory into userspace, but that approach failed to meet
several requirements for software-based CoCo VMs, e.g. pKVM, as the kernel
wouldn't easily be able to enforce a 1:1 page:guest association, let alone
a 1:1 pfn:gfn mapping. And using PG_hwpoison does not work for memory
that isn't backed by 'struct page', e.g. if devices gain support for
exposing encrypted memory regions to guests.
Attempt #3 was to extend the memfd() syscall and wrap shmem to provide
dedicated file-based guest memory. That approach made it as far as v10
before feedback from Hugh Dickins and Christian Brauner (and others) led
to it demise.
Hugh's objection was that piggybacking shmem made no sense for KVM's use
case as KVM didn't actually *want* the features provided by shmem. I.e.
KVM was using memfd() and shmem to avoid having to manage memory directly,
not because memfd() and shmem were the optimal solution, e.g. things like
read/write/mmap in shmem were dead weight.
Christian pointed out flaws with implementing a partial overlay (wrapping
only _some_ of shmem), e.g. poking at inode_operations or super_operations
would show shmem stuff, but address_space_operations and file_operations
would show KVM's overlay. Paraphrashing heavily, Christian suggested KVM
stop being lazy and create a proper API.

In confidential computing usages, whether a page is private or shared is
necessary information for KVM to perform operations like page fault
handling, page zapping etc. There are other potential use cases for
per-page memory attributes, e.g. to make memory read-only (or no-exec,
or exec-only, etc.) without having to modify memslots.
Introduce the KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, advertised by
KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, to allow userspace to set the per-page memory
attributes to a guest memory range.
Use an xarray to store the per-page attributes internally, with a naive,
not fully optimized implementation, i.e. prioritize correctness over
performance for the initial implementation.
Use bit 3 for the PRIVATE attribute so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for RWX
attributes/protections in the future, e.g. to give userspace fine-grained
control over read, write, and execute protections for guest memory.
Provide arch hooks for handling attribute changes before and after common
code sets the new attributes, e.g. x86 will use the "pre" hook to zap all
relevant mappings, and the "post" hook to track whether or not hugepages
can be used to map the range.
To simplify the implementation wrap the entire sequence with
kvm_mmu_invalidate_{begin,end}() even though the operation isn't strictly
guaranteed to be an invalidation. For the initial use case, x86 *will*
always invalidate memory, and preventing arch code from creating new
mappings while the attributes are in flux makes it much easier to reason
about the correctness of consuming attributes.
It's possible that future usages may not require an invalidation, e.g.
if KVM ends up supporting RWX protections and userspace grants _more_
protections, but again opt for simplicity and punt optimizations to
if/when they are needed.

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.

Convert KVM_ARCH_WANT_MMU_NOTIFIER into a Kconfig and select it where
appropriate to effectively maintain existing behavior. Using a proper
Kconfig will simplify building more functionality on top of KVM's
mmu_notifier infrastructure.
Add a forward declaration of kvm_gfn_range to kvm_types.h so that
including arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_ppc.h's with CONFIG_KVM=n doesn't
generate warnings due to kvm_gfn_range being undeclared. PPC defines
hooks for PR vs. HV without guarding them via #ifdeffery, e.g.
bool (*unmap_gfn_range)(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_gfn_range *range);
bool (*age_gfn)(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_gfn_range *range);
bool (*test_age_gfn)(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_gfn_range *range);
bool (*set_spte_gfn)(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_gfn_range *range);
Alternatively, PPC could forward declare kvm_gfn_range, but there's no
good reason not to define it in common KVM.

Currently in mmu_notifier invalidate path, hva range is recorded and then
checked against by mmu_invalidate_retry_hva() in the page fault handling
path. However, for the soon-to-be-introduced private memory, a page fault
may not have a hva associated, checking gfn(gpa) makes more sense.
For existing hva based shared memory, gfn is expected to also work. The
only downside is when aliasing multiple gfns to a single hva, the
current algorithm of checking multiple ranges could result in a much
larger range being rejected. Such aliasing should be uncommon, so the
impact is expected small.
