Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM64:

- Eager page splitting optimization for dirty logging, optionally
allowing for a VM to avoid the cost of hugepage splitting in the
stage-2 fault path.

- Arm FF-A proxy for pKVM, allowing a pKVM host to safely interact
with services that live in the Secure world. pKVM intervenes on
FF-A calls to guarantee the host doesn't misuse memory donated to
the hyp or a pKVM guest.

- Support for running the split hypervisor with VHE enabled, known as
'hVHE' mode. This is extremely useful for testing the split
hypervisor on VHE-only systems, and paves the way for new use cases
that depend on having two TTBRs available at EL2.

- Generalized framework for configurable ID registers from userspace.
KVM/arm64 currently prevents arbitrary CPU feature set
configuration from userspace, but the intent is to relax this
limitation and allow userspace to select a feature set consistent
with the CPU.

- Enable the use of Branch Target Identification (FEAT_BTI) in the
hypervisor.

- Use a separate set of pointer authentication keys for the
hypervisor when running in protected mode, as the host is untrusted
at runtime.

- Ensure timer IRQs are consistently released in the init failure
paths.

- Avoid trapping CTR_EL0 on systems with Enhanced Virtualization
Traps (FEAT_EVT), as it is a register commonly read from userspace.

- Erratum workaround for the upcoming AmpereOne part, which has
broken hardware A/D state management.

RISC-V:

- Redirect AMO load/store misaligned traps to KVM guest

- Trap-n-emulate AIA in-kernel irqchip for KVM guest

- Svnapot support for KVM Guest

s390:

- New uvdevice secret API

- CMM selftest and fixes

- fix racy access to target CPU for diag 9c

x86:

- Fix missing/incorrect #GP checks on ENCLS

- Use standard mmu_notifier hooks for handling APIC access page

- Drop now unnecessary TR/TSS load after VM-Exit on AMD

- Print more descriptive information about the status of SEV and
SEV-ES during module load

- Add a test for splitting and reconstituting hugepages during and
after dirty logging

- Add support for CPU pinning in demand paging test

- Add support for AMD PerfMonV2, with a variety of cleanups and minor
fixes included along the way

- Add a "nx_huge_pages=never" option to effectively avoid creating NX
hugepage recovery threads (because nx_huge_pages=off can be toggled
at runtime)

- Move handling of PAT out of MTRR code and dedup SVM+VMX code

- Fix output of PIC poll command emulation when there's an interrupt

- Add a maintainer's handbook to document KVM x86 processes,
preferred coding style, testing expectations, etc.

- Misc cleanups, fixes and comments

- Miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanups

Selftests:

- Generate dependency files so that partial rebuilds work as

KVM: selftests: touch all pages of args on each memstress iteration

Access the same memory addresses on each iteration of the memstress
guest code. This ensures that the state of KVM's page tables
is the same after every iteration, including the pages that host the
guest page tables for args and vcpu_args.

This difference is visible when running the proposed
dirty_log_page_splitting_test[*] on AMD, or on Intel with pml=0 and
eptad=0. The tests fail due to different semantics of dirty bits for
page-table pages on AMD (and eptad=0) and Intel. Both AMD and Intel with
eptad=0 treat page-table accesses as writes, therefore more pages are
dropped before the repopulation phase when dirty logging is disabled.

The "missing" page had been included in the population phase because it
hosts the page tables for vcpu_args, but repopulation does not need it."

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM64:

- Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.

- Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.

- Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").

- Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
private.

- Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.

- Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
pages.

- Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.

s390:

- Second batch of the lazy destroy patches

- First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
support

- Removal of a unused function

x86:

- Allow compiling out SMM support

- Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format

- Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area

- Respond to generic signals during slow page faults

- Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
fix.

- Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change

- Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests

- Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)

- Advertise several new Intel features

- x86 Xen-for-KVM:

- Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary

- Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured

- Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll

- Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:

- One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).

- Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.

- Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.

- Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
irrespective of the current guest CPUID.

- Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
frequency.

- Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported

- Remove unnecessary exports

Generic:

- Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks

Selftests:

- Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
running on bare metal.

- Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.

- Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests

- Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.

- Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".

- Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
tests.

- Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.

- Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
Intel).

- A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.

- x86-specific selftest changes:

- Clean up x86's page table management.

- Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
related test to cover generic emulation failure.

- Clean up the nEPT support checks.

- Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.

- Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
before the test opts in via prctl().

Documentation:

- Remove deleted ioctls from documentation

- Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.

- Various fixes"

KVM: selftests: Drop now-unnecessary ucall_uninit()

Drop ucall_uninit() and ucall_arch_uninit() now that ARM doesn't modify
the host's copy of ucall_exit_mmio_addr, i.e. now that there's no need to
reset the pointer before potentially creating a new VM. The few calls to
ucall_uninit() are all immediately followed by kvm_vm_free(), and that is
likely always going to hold true, i.e. it's extremely unlikely a test
will want to effectively disable ucall in the middle of a test.

KVM: selftests: Automatically do init_ucall() for non-barebones VMs

Do init_ucall() automatically during VM creation to kill two (three?)
birds with one stone.

First, initializing ucall immediately after VM creations allows forcing
aarch64's MMIO ucall address to immediately follow memslot0. This is
still somewhat fragile as tests could clobber the MMIO address with a
new memslot, but it's safe-ish since tests have to be conversative when
accounting for memslot0. And this can be hardened in the future by
creating a read-only memslot for the MMIO page (KVM ARM exits with MMIO
if the guest writes to a read-only memslot). Add a TODO to document that
selftests can and should use a memslot for the ucall MMIO (doing so
requires yet more rework because tests assumes thay can use all memslots
except memslot0).

Second, initializing ucall for all VMs prepares for making ucall
initialization meaningful on all architectures. aarch64 is currently the
only arch that needs to do any setup, but that will change in the future
by switching to a pool-based implementation (instead of the current
stack-based approach).

Lastly, defining the ucall MMIO address from common code will simplify
switching all architectures (except s390) to a common MMIO-based ucall
implementation (if there's ever sufficient motivation to do so).

KVM: selftests: Rename perf_test_util symbols to memstress

Replace the perf_test_ prefix on symbol names with memstress_ to match
the new file name.

"memstress" better describes the functionality proveded by this library,
which is to provide functionality for creating and running a VM that
stresses VM memory by reading and writing to guest memory on all vCPUs
in parallel.

"memstress" also contains the same number of chracters as "perf_test",
making it a drop-in replacement in symbols, e.g. function names, without
impacting line lengths. Also the lack of underscore between "mem" and
"stress" makes it clear "memstress" is a noun.
