KVM: Drop @gpa from exported gfn=>pfn cache check() and refresh() helpers

Drop the @gpa param from the exported check()+refresh() helpers and limit
changing the cache's GPA to the activate path. All external users just
feed in gpc->gpa, i.e. this is a fancy nop.

Allowing users to change the GPA at check()+refresh() is dangerous as
those helpers explicitly allow concurrent calls, e.g. KVM could get into
a livelock scenario. It's also unclear as to what the expected behavior
should be if multiple tasks attempt to refresh with different GPAs.

KVM: Drop KVM's API to allow temporarily unmapping gfn=>pfn cache

Drop kvm_gpc_unmap() as it has no users and unclear requirements. The
API was added as part of the original gfn_to_pfn_cache support, but its
sole usage[*] was never merged. Fold the guts of kvm_gpc_unmap() into
the deactivate path and drop the API. Omit acquiring refresh_lock as
as concurrent calls to kvm_gpc_deactivate() are not allowed (this is
not enforced, e.g. via lockdep. due to it being called during vCPU
destruction).

If/when temporary unmapping makes a comeback, the desirable behavior is
likely to restrict temporary unmapping to vCPU-exclusive mappings and
require the vcpu->mutex be held to serialize unmap. Use of the
refresh_lock to protect unmapping was somewhat specuatively added by
commit 93984f19e7bc ("KVM: Fully serialize gfn=>pfn cache refresh via
mutex") to guard against concurrent unmaps, but the primary use case of
the temporary unmap, nested virtualization[*], doesn't actually need or
want concurrent unmaps.

KVM: Reject attempts to consume or refresh inactive gfn_to_pfn_cache

Reject kvm_gpc_check() and kvm_gpc_refresh() if the cache is inactive.
Not checking the active flag during refresh is particularly egregious, as
KVM can end up with a valid, inactive cache, which can lead to a variety
of use-after-free bugs, e.g. consuming a NULL kernel pointer or missing
an mmu_notifier invalidation due to the cache not being on the list of
gfns to invalidate.

Note, "active" needs to be set if and only if the cache is on the list
of caches, i.e. is reachable via mmu_notifier events. If a relevant
mmu_notifier event occurs while the cache is "active" but not on the
list, KVM will not acquire the cache's lock and so will not serailize
the mmu_notifier event with active users and/or kvm_gpc_refresh().

A race between KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO and KVM_XEN_HVM_EVTCHN_SEND
can be exploited to trigger the bug.

1. Deactivate shinfo cache:

kvm_xen_hvm_set_attr
case KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO
kvm_gpc_deactivate
kvm_gpc_unmap
gpc->valid = false
gpc->khva = NULL
gpc->active = false

Result: active = false, valid = false

2. Cause cache refresh:

kvm_arch_vm_ioctl
case KVM_XEN_HVM_EVTCHN_SEND
kvm_xen_hvm_evtchn_send
kvm_xen_set_evtchn
kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast
kvm_gpc_check
return -EWOULDBLOCK because !gpc->valid
kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast
return -EWOULDBLOCK
kvm_gpc_refresh
hva_to_pfn_retry
gpc->valid = true
gpc->khva = not NULL

Result: active = false, valid = true

3. Race ioctl KVM_XEN_HVM_EVTCHN_SEND against ioctl
KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO:

kvm_arch_vm_ioctl
case KVM_XEN_HVM_EVTCHN_SEND
kvm_xen_hvm_evtchn_send

kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast

kvm_xen_shared_info_init
kvm_gpc_activate
gpc->khva = NULL
kvm_gpc_check
[ Check passes because gpc->valid is
still true, even though gpc->khva
is already NULL. ]
shinfo = gpc->khva
pending_bits = shinfo->evtchn_pending

KVM: Initialize gfn_to_pfn_cache locks in dedicated helper

Move the gfn_to_pfn_cache lock initialization to another helper and

conditions possible due to kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_init()'s
ability to re-initialize the cache's locks.

For example: a race between ioctl(KVM_XEN_HVM_EVTCHN_SEND) and
kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_init() leads to a corrupted shinfo gpc lock.

| kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_init
| rwlock_init(&gpc->lock)

Rename "cache_init" and "cache_destroy" to activate+deactivate to
avoid implying that the cache really is destroyed/freed.

Note, there more races in the newly named kvm_gpc_activate() that will
be addressed separately.

The motivation of this renaming is to make these variables and related
helper functions less mmu_notifier bound and can also be used for non

better describe the purpose of 'invalidating' a page that those
variables are used for.

- mmu_notifier_retry{_hva} helper functions are renamed to

- mmu_notifier_count is renamed to mmu_invalidate_in_progress to
avoid confusion with mn_active_invalidate_count.

- While here, also update kvm_inc/dec_notifier_count() to

Th

KVM: Fix multiple races in gfn=>pfn cache refresh

Rework the gfn=>pfn cache (gpc) refresh logic to address multiple races
between the cache itself, and between the cache and mmu_notifier events.

The existing refresh code attempts to guard against races with the
mmu_notifier by speculatively marking the cache valid, and then marking
it invalid if a mmu_notifier invalidation occurs. That handles the case
where an invalidation occurs between dropping and re-acquiring gpc->lock,
but it doesn't handle the scenario where the cache is refreshed after the
cache was invalidated by the notifier, but before the notifier elevates
mmu_notifier_count. The gpc refresh can't use the "retry" helper as its
invalidation occurs _before_ mmu_notifier_count is elevated and before
mmu_notifier_range_start is set/updated.

CPU0 CPU1

mmu_seq == kvm->mmu_notifier_seq

return pfn 'X'

drop kvm->mmu_lock()
kernel frees pfn 'X'
kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_check()
|
|-> gpc->valid == true

caller accesses freed pfn 'X'

Key off of mn_active_invalidate_count to detect that a pfncache refresh
needs to wait for an in-progress mmu_notifier invalidation. While
mn_active_invalidate_count is not guaranteed to be stable, it is
guaranteed to be elevated prior to an invalidation acquiring gpc->lock,
so either the refresh will see an active invalidation and wait, or the
invalidation will run after the refresh completes.

Speculatively marking the cache valid is itself flawed, as a concurrent
kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_check() would see a valid cache with stale pfn/khva
values. The KVM Xen use case explicitly allows/wants multiple users;
even though the caches are allocated per vCPU, __kvm_xen_has_interrupt()
can read a different vCPU (or vCPUs). Address this race by invalidating
the cache prior to dropping gpc->lock (this is made possible by fixing
the above mmu_notifier race).

Complicating all of this is the fact that both the hva=>pfn resolution
and mapping of the kernel address can sleep, i.e. must be done outside
of gpc->lock.

Fix the above races in one fell swoop, trying to fix each individual race
is largely pointless and essentially impossible to test, e.g. closing one
hole just shifts the focus to the other hole.

KVM: Fully serialize gfn=>pfn cache refresh via mutex

Protect gfn=>pfn cache refresh with a mutex to fully serialize refreshes.
The refresh logic doesn't protect against

- concurrent unmaps, or refreshes with different GPAs (which may or may not
happen in practice, for example if a cache is only used under vcpu->mutex;
but it's allowed in the code)

- a false negative on the memslot generation. If the first refresh sees
a stale memslot generation, it will refresh the hva and generation before
moving on to the hva=>pfn translation. If it then drops gpc->lock, a
different user of the cache can come along, acquire gpc->lock, see that
the memslot generation is fresh, and skip the hva=>pfn update due to the
userspace address also matching (because it too was updated).

The refresh path can already sleep during hva=>pfn resolution, so wrap
the refresh with a mutex to ensure that any given refresh runs to
completion before other callers can start their refresh.

KVM: Do not incorporate page offset into gfn=>pfn cache user address

Don't adjust the userspace address in the gfn=>pfn cache by the page
offset from the gpa. KVM should never use the user address directly, and
all KVM operations that translate a user address to something else
require the user address to be page aligned. Ignoring the offset will
allow the cache to reuse a gfn=>hva translation in the unlikely event
that the page offset of the gpa changes, but the gfn does not. And more
importantly, not having to (un)adjust the user address will simplify a
future bug fix.

KVM: Put the extra pfn reference when reusing a pfn in the gpc cache

Put the struct page reference to pfn acquired by hva_to_pfn() when the
old and new pfns for a gfn=>pfn cache match. The cache already has a
reference via the old/current pfn, and will only put one reference when
the cache is done with the pfn.

KVM: Drop unused @gpa param from gfn=>pfn cache's __release_gpc() helper

Drop the @pga param from __release_gpc() and rename the helper to make it
more obvious that the cache itself is not being released. The helper
will be reused by a future commit to release a pfn+khva combination that
is _never_ associated with the cache, at which point the current name
would go from slightly misleading to blatantly wrong.

No functional change intended.

KVM: Remove dirty handling from gfn_to_pfn_cache completely

It isn't OK to cache the dirty status of a page in internal structures
for an indefinite period of time.

Any time a vCPU exits the run loop to userspace might be its last; the
VMM might do its final check of the dirty log, flush the last remaining
dirty pages to the destination and complete a live migration. If we
have internal 'dirty' state which doesn't get flushed until the vCPU
is finally destroyed on the source after migration is complete, then
we have lost data because that will escape the final copy.

This problem already exists with the use of kvm_vcpu_unmap() to mark
pages dirty in e.g. VMX nesting.

Note that the actual Linux MM already considers the page to be dirty
since we have a writeable mapping of it. This is just about the KVM
dirty logging.

For the nesting-style use cases (KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN) we will need to
track which gfn_to_pfn_caches have been used and explicitly mark the
corresponding pages dirty before returning to userspace. But we would
have needed external tracking of that anyway, rather than walking the
full list of GPCs to find those belonging to this vCPU which are dirty.

So let's rely *solely* on that external tracking, and keep it simple
rather than laying a tempting trap for callers to fall into.

KVM: Use enum to track if cached PFN will be used in guest and/or host

Replace the guest_uses_pa and kernel_map booleans in the PFN cache code
with a unified enum/bitmask. Using explicit names makes it easier to
review and audit call sites.

Opportunistically add a WARN to prevent passing garbage; instantating a
cache without declaring its usage is either buggy or pointless.

KVM: Don't actually set a request when evicting vCPUs for GFN cache invd

Don't actually set a request bit in vcpu->requests when making a request
purely to force a vCPU to exit the guest. Logging a request but not
actually consuming it would cause the vCPU to get stuck in an infinite
loop during KVM_RUN because KVM would see the pending request and bail
from VM-Enter to service the request.

Note, it's currently impossible for KVM to set KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE as
nothing in KVM is wired up to set guest_uses_pa=true. But, it'd be all
too easy for arch code to introduce use of kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_init()
without implementing handling of the request, especially since getting
test coverage of MMU notifier interaction with specific KVM features
usually requires a directed test.

Opportunistically rename gfn_to_pfn_cache_invalidate_start()'s wake_vcpus
to evict_vcpus. The purpose of the request is to get vCPUs out of guest
mode, it's supposed to _avoid_ waking vCPUs that are blocking.

Opportunistically rename KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE to be more specific as to
what it wants to accomplish, and to genericize the name so that it can
used for similar but unrelated scenarios, should they arise in the future.
Add a comment and documentation to explain why the "no action" request
exists.

Add compile-time assertions to help detect improper usage. Use the inner
assertless helper in the one s390 path that makes requests without a
hardcoded request.

If the cache's user host virtual address becomes invalid, there

could release the pfn but the gpc->pfn field has not been overwritten
with an error value. If this happens, kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_unmap will
call put_page again on the same page.
