KVM: x86: Always sync PIR to IRR prior to scanning I/O APIC routes

commit f3ced000a2df53f4b12849e121769045a81a3b22 upstream.

KVM: x86: Always sync PIR to IRR prior to scanning I/O APIC routes

commit f3ced000a2df53f4b12849e121769045a81a3b22 upstream.

Sync pending posted interrupts to the IRR prior to re-scanning I/O APIC
routes, irrespective of whether the I/O APIC is emulated by userspace or
by KVM. If a level-triggered interrupt routed through the I/O APIC is
pending or in-service for a vCPU, KVM needs to intercept EOIs on said
vCPU even if the vCPU isn't the destination for the new routing, e.g. if
servicing an interrupt using the old routing races with I/O APIC
reconfiguration.

Commit fceb3a36c29a ("KVM: x86: ioapic: Fix level-triggered EOI and
userspace I/OAPIC reconfigure race") fixed the common cases, but
kvm_apic_pending_eoi() only checks if an interrupt is in the local
APIC's IRR or ISR, i.e. misses the uncommon case where an interrupt is
pending in the PIR.

Failure to intercept EOI can manifest as guest hangs with Windows 11 if
the guest uses the RTC as its timekeeping source, e.g. if the VMM doesn't
expose a more modern form of time to the guest.

KVM: x86: Snapshot if a vCPU's vendor model is AMD vs. Intel compatible

KVM: x86: Snapshot if a vCPU's vendor model is AMD vs. Intel compatible

commit fd706c9b1674e2858766bfbf7430534c2b26fbef upstream.

Add kvm_vcpu_arch.is_amd_compatible to cache if a vCPU's vendor model is
compatible with AMD, i.e. if the vCPU vendor is AMD or Hygon, along with
helpers to check if a vCPU is compatible AMD vs. Intel. To handle Intel
vs. AMD behavior related to masking the LVTPC entry, KVM will need to
check for vendor compatibility on every PMI injection, i.e. querying for
AMD will soon be a moderately hot path.

Note! This subtly (or maybe not-so-subtly) makes "Intel compatible" KVM's
default behavior, both if userspace omits (or never sets) CPUID 0x0 and if
userspace sets a completely unknown vendor. One could argue that KVM
should treat such vCPUs as not being compatible with Intel *or* AMD, but
that would add useless complexity to KVM.

KVM needs to do *something* in the face of vendor specific behavior, and
so unless KVM conjured up a magic third option, choosing to treat unknown
vendors as neither Intel nor AMD means that checks on AMD compatibility
would yield Intel behavior, and checks for Intel compatibility would yield
AMD behavior. And that's far worse as it would effectively yield random
behavior depending on whether KVM checked for AMD vs. Intel vs. !AMD vs.
!Intel. And practically speaking, all x86 CPUs follow either Intel or AMD
architecture, i.e. "supporting" an unknown third architecture adds no
value.

Deliberately don't convert any of the existing guest_cpuid_is_intel()
checks, as the Intel side of things is messier due to some flows explicitly
checking for exactly vendor==Intel, versus some flows assuming anything
that isn't "AMD compatible" gets Intel behavior. The Intel code will be
cleaned up in the future.

KVM: x86: Mark target gfn of emulated atomic instruction as dirty

commit 910c57dfa4d113aae6571c2a8b9ae8c430975902 upstream.

When emulating an atomic access on behalf of the guest, mark the target
gfn dirty if the CMPXCHG by KVM is attempted and doesn't fault. This
fixes a bug where KVM effectively corrupts guest memory during live
migration by writing to guest memory without informing userspace that the
page is dirty.

Marking the page dirty got unintentionally dropped when KVM's emulated
CMPXCHG was converted to do a user access. Before that, KVM explicitly
mapped the guest page into kernel memory, and marked the page dirty during
the unmap phase.

Mark the page dirty even if the CMPXCHG fails, as the old data is written
back on failure, i.e. the page is still written. The value written is
guaranteed to be the same because the operation is atomic, but KVM's ABI
is that all writes are dirty logged regardless of the value written. And
more importantly, that's what KVM did before the buggy commit.

Huge kudos to the folks on the Cc list (and many others), who did all the
actual work of triaging and debugging.

Mitigation for RFDS requires RFDS_CLEAR capability which is enumerated

to guests so that they can deploy the mitigation.

RFDS_NO indicates that the system is not vulnerable to RFDS, export it

commit 6231c9e1a9f35b535c66709aa8a6eda40dbc4132 upstream.

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.

KVM: x86: Ignore MSR_AMD64_TW_CFG access

commit 2770d4722036d6bd24bcb78e9cd7f6e572077d03 upstream.

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 2e32b7190641
("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.

KVM: x86: Constrain guest-supported xfeatures only at KVM_GET_XSAVE{2}

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 ad856280ddea ("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 ad856280ddea
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 ad856280ddea,
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.

x86/fpu: Allow caller to constrain xfeatures when copying to uabi buffer

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*.

KVM: x86/pmu: Synthesize at most one PMI per VM-exit

When the irq_work callback, kvm_pmi_trigger_fn(), is invoked during a
VM-exit that also invokes __kvm_perf_overflow() as a result of
instruction emulation, kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() will be called twice
before the next VM-entry.

Calling kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() twice is unlikely to be problematic now that
KVM sets the LVTPC mask bit when delivering a PMI. But using IRQ work to
trigger the PMI is still broken, albeit very theoretically.

E.g. if the self-IPI to trigger IRQ work is be delayed long enough for the
vCPU to be migrated to a different pCPU, then it's possible for
kvm_pmi_trigger_fn() to race with the kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() from
KVM_REQ_PMI and still generate two PMIs.

KVM could set the mask bit using an atomic operation, but that'd just be
piling on unnecessary code to workaround what is effectively a hack. The
*only* reason KVM uses IRQ work is to ensure the PMI is treated as a wake
event, e.g. if the vCPU just executed HLT.

Remove the irq_work callback for synthesizing a PMI, and all of the
logic for invoking it. Instead, to prevent a vcpu from leaving C0 with
a PMI pending, add a check for KVM_REQ_PMI to kvm_vcpu_has_events().

KVM: x86/mmu: Stop zapping invalidated TDP MMU roots asynchronously

KVM: x86/mmu: Stop zapping invalidated TDP MMU roots asynchronously

Stop zapping invalidate TDP MMU roots via work queue now that KVM
preserves TDP MMU roots until they are explicitly invalidated. Zapping
roots asynchronously was effectively a workaround to avoid stalling a vCPU
for an extended during if a vCPU unloaded a root, which at the time
happened whenever the guest toggled CR0.WP (a frequent operation for some
guest kernels).

While a clever hack, zapping roots via an unbound worker had subtle,
unintended consequences on host scheduling, especially when zapping
multiple roots, e.g. as part of a memslot. Because the work of zapping a
root is no longer bound to the task that initiated the zap, things like
the CPU affinity and priority of the original task get lost. Losing the
affinity and priority can be especially problematic if unbound workqueues
aren't affined to a small number of CPUs, as zapping multiple roots can
cause KVM to heavily utilize the majority of CPUs in the system, *beyond*
the CPUs KVM is already using to run vCPUs.

When deleting a memslot via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, the async root
zap can result in KVM occupying all logical CPUs for ~8ms, and result in
high priority tasks not being scheduled in in a timely manner. In v5.15,
which doesn't preserve unloaded roots, the issues were even more noticeable
as KVM would zap roots more frequently and could occupy all CPUs for 50ms+.

Consuming all CPUs for an extended duration can lead to significant jitter
throughout the system, e.g. on ChromeOS with virtio-gpu, deleting memslots
is a semi-frequent operation as memslots are deleted and recreated with
different host virtual addresses to react to host GPU drivers allocating
and freeing GPU blobs. On ChromeOS, the jitter manifests as audio blips
during games due to the audio server's tasks not getting scheduled in
promptly, despite the tasks having a high realtime priority.

Deleting memslots isn't exactly a fast path and should be avoided when
possible, and ChromeOS is working towards utilizing MAP_FIXED to avoid the
memslot shenanigans, but KVM is squarely in the wrong. Not to mention
that removing the async zapping eliminates a non-trivial amount of
complexity.

Note, one of the subtle behaviors hidden behind the async zapping is that
KVM would zap invalidated roots only once (ignoring partial zaps from
things like mmu_notifier events). Preserve this behavior by adding a flag
to identify roots that are scheduled to be zapped versus roots that have
already been zapped but not yet freed.

Add a comment calling out why kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_all_roots() can
encounter invalid roots, as it's not at all obvious why zapping
invalidated roots shouldn't simply zap all invalid roots.

KVM: x86: Add a new page-track hook to handle memslot deletion

Add a new page-track hook, track_remove_region(), that is called when a
memslot DELETE operation is about to be committed. The "remove" hook
will be used by KVMGT and will effectively replace the existing
track_flush_slot() altogether now that KVM itself doesn't rely on the
"flush" hook either.

The "flush" hook is flawed as it's invoked before the memslot operation
is guaranteed to succeed, i.e. KVM might ultimately keep the existing
memslot without notifying external page track users, a.k.a. KVMGT. In
practice, this can't currently happen on x86, but there are no guarantees
that won't change in the future, not to mention that "flush" does a very
poor job of describing what is happening.

Pass in the gfn+nr_pages instead of the slot itself so external users,
i.e. KVMGT, don't need to exposed to KVM internals (memslots). This will
help set the stage for additional cleanups to the page-track APIs.

Opportunistically align the existing srcu_read_lock_held() usage so that
the new case doesn't stand out like a sore thumb (and not aligning the
new code makes bots unhappy).

KVM: x86: Reject memslot MOVE operations if KVMGT is attached

Disallow moving memslots if the VM has external page-track users, i.e. if
KVMGT is being used to expose a virtual GPU to the guest, as KVMGT doesn't
correctly handle moving memory regions.

Note, this is potential ABI breakage! E.g. userspace could move regions
that aren't shadowed by KVMGT without harming the guest. However, the
only known user of KVMGT is QEMU, and QEMU doesn't move generic memory
regions. KVM's own support for moving memory regions was also broken for
multiple years (albeit for an edge case, but arguably moving RAM is
itself an edge case), e.g. see commit edd4fa37baa6 ("KVM: x86: Allocate
new rmap and large page tracking when moving memslot").

UNINITIALIZIED activity state. The intent of the WARN is to sanity check
that KVM won't drop a timer interrupt due to an unexpected transition to
UNINITIALIZED, but unfortunately userspace can use various ioctl()s to
force the unexpected state.

Drop the sanity check instead of switching from the hypervisor timer to a
software based timer, as the only reason to switch to a software timer
when a vCPU is blocking is to ensure the timer interrupt wakes the vCPU,
but said interrupt isn't a valid wake event for vCPUs in UNINITIALIZED
state *and* the interrupt will be dropped in the end.
