e90ab36691 KVM: x86/mmu: Cope with the SS bit being set in #NPF exit codes
When running Hyper-V from Windows 11, KVM is seeing the SS bit set
in nested page fault error codes produced for shadowed NPT.  The AMD
manual is unclear about when SS is set, including whether it can be set
when SupervisorShadowStackEn (bit 6) is not set in the MISC_CTL field
of the VMCB.

Nevertheless, the unexpected SS bit causes out of bounds accesses in
permission_fault(), seen as either WARNs or UBSAN reports:

  kernel: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in arch/x86/kvm/mmu.h:225:27
  kernel: index 34 is out of range for type 'u16 [16]'

(in this case, the page fault error code is 34*2=0x44, i.e. SS|U; the
report shows SS|U|W happening as well).  Fix the handling of unknown
error codes by dropping SS and (with a WARN) any bits not among those
that permission_fault() expects to receive.

At the same time, given the uncertainty about when hardware sets SS,
follow the processor's behavior when constructing the fault's error
code, and preserve the SS bit as passed to FNAME(walk_addr_generic).
While the behavior is surprising, there's a possibility that Hyper-V
expects it (Hyper-V does not even enable CET unless it finds MBEC/GMET!),
so retain the information when reflecting the fault to L1 instead of
unconditionally discarding it.

Bisection shows that this started happening with commit 687ee95c1b ("KVM:
nSVM: enable GMET for guests"), even though SHSTK was available to guests
since Linux 6.18.  However, this is not because bit 1 of MISC_CTL (GMET)
somehow enables reporting the SS bit; rather, it's simply that Hyper-V
never uses CET unless GMET is also present.  The WARN is reproducible
even with gmet=0, with some hacking of kvm-unit-tests's cet.c testcase
to ensure that the first access to the shadow stack triggers a page fault.

b6249c1d56 KVM: x86/mmu: Bail from shadow walks if the root is invalid or a dummy
When walking shadow page tables, immediately terminate the walk if the root
is a "dummy" root, i.e. a root whose top-level page table is backed by the
zero page, but otherwise doesn't exist.  If memslot creation races with a
stage-2 page fault (EPT violation or #NPF) from L2, then if the stars align,
KVM will attempt to walk shadow page tables using the zero page and hit a
NULL pointer deref.

Opportunistically harden the shadow walks against fully invalid roots, but
WARN, as all callers are expected/required to pre-check for a valid root.
Don't WARN in the dummy root case as the whole point of using a dummy root
is to provide a root that's valid enough to enter the guest, i.e. it should
Just Work for all flows except those that *need* to know about dummy roots.

Alternatively, KVM could allocate a dedicated page and associated shadow
page structure for the dummy root, which is very tempting as it such an
approach should be more resilient against unexpected behavior.  But that
would be a much larger and thus riskier change than simply terminating
walks of dummy roots.

8cd280282d KVM: Never clear KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD from a vCPU's requests
Use kvm_test_request() instead of kvm_check_request() when querying
KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD, i.e. don't clear KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD, as the entire purpose
of KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD is to prevent the vCPU from enterring the guest ever
again, even if userspace insists on redoing KVM_RUN.

Ensuring KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD is never cleared will allow relaxing KVM's rule
that ioctls can't be invoked on dead VMs, to only disallow ioctls if the
VM is bugged, i.e. if KVM hit a KVM_BUG_ON().

Opportunistically add compile-time assertions to guard against clearing
KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD through the standard APIs.

5ec42d5765 KVM: x86/mmu: WARN and clear role.invalid when creating a child shadow page
Explicitly clear role.invalid when deriving a child shadow page's role from
its parent to harden against bugs elsewhere in KVM, as violating KVM's
invariant that invalid pages are NOT on the list of active MMU pages leads
to use-after-free due to __kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() using list_add()
instead of list_move() when processing an invalid shadow page, i.e. makes a
bad situation far worse.

Yell loudly if the parent is invalid, as it means KVM has missed a validity
check, i.e. KVM is attempting to map memory using an invalid/obsolete root,
but continue on as the child is otherwise still a valid shadow page.

26505e1b5b KVM: SVM: make svm_flush_tlb_gva do a full asid flush if NPT enabled
Red Hat is seeing multiple reports of Windows memory corruptions
(and consequent BSODs) with hv-tlbflush=on, on AMD processors only.
The crashes, while extremely rare, happen even with a stock configuration,
but with Driver Verifier enabled they can be detected after approximately
200 VM hours.  In particular, Alexander Lougovski measured the following:

- on AMD Turin, 15 crashes in 3300 VM hours

- on AMD Milan, 2 crashes in 500 VM hours (there are fewer hours
  here due to the host being smaller)

- on Intel Sapphire Rapids, 0 crashes in 8000 VM hours

- on AMD Turin with full TLB flush (not exactly this patch but
  similar), no crashes in ~2 weeks of run time which should also
  be ~7000 VM hours

For Turin, the microcode version was 0x0b002162, which (assuming
this is the same issue) should not be affected by the problem listed in
https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/419026/bsod-on-virtual-machines-running-on-amd.html;
on the other hand that problem should not apply to earlier processors.
AMD has not provided any information or analysis yet, and when we asked
we didn't know yet that it reproduced on Milan as well.

As to the workload, Alexander threw more or less everything at the same
time at the VM:

- a full Windows Defender scan every 30 minutes

- a disk I/O job

- a loop doing repeated mmap of system files (mostly to hope that
  it triggers some consistency check in the Windows memory manager)

- SQL Express 2022 + StressDB (1.6M rows), with the host doing queries
  (75% write/25% read) via sqlcmd

Driver Verifier is able to detect BSODs more or less at the same time as
the pages are freed.  They mostly happen in the Windows Defender filter
driver, but occasionally also in the networking stack (e.g., afd.sys)
or elsewhere in the filesystem stack (e.g., fltmgr.sys).

The flush is issued from kvm_hv_vcpu_flush_tlb(), which receives the
cross-CPU requests from the Hyper-V TLB flush hypercalls via a kfifo
and is invoked by the KVM_REQ_HV_TLB_FLUSH request.  The mechanism is
the same for both Intel and AMD, and the handler for both vendors is
a simple INVVPID(ADDR)/INVLPGA instruction.

Because the request is handled on the destination CPU, there is a question
of what happens if the VM is migrated across physical CPUs.  In that case,
the INVLPGA instruction would use a stale svm->vmcb->control.asid; but
if anything that might do an *unnecessary* flush (on an asid that's being
used for another VM) and then pre_svm_run() would force a full TLB rebuild.

So, for lack of better ideas, this patch forces a full ASID bump in
svm_flush_tlb_gva().  To avoid paying the price on Intel and also to
avoid unnecessary loops on AMD, the flush_tlb_gva op now returns whether
it did a full flush or not; kvm_hv_vcpu_flush_tlb() takes note and exits
its loops immediately.  While there is an obvious performance impact,
about half of the benefit from Hyper-V tlbflush is preserved (10% vs. 20%
on the SQL Server workload).

kvm_mmu_invalidate_addr() is the only other caller of the flush_tlb_gva op.
The change would have a performance impact on every intercepted INVLPG and,
for nested SVM, on every L1 INVLPGA.  For INVLPGA specifically, this covers
the same suspected issue but for nested hypervisors, so it is correct to
apply the workaround; for INVLPG on shadow paging, instead, the impact
would be stronger and, due to lack of data, for now the use of INVLPGA is
left in place in svm_flush_tlb_gva().

fb25ee778a KVM: x86/mmu: Use CMPXCHG when clearing Accessed bit in the shadow MMU
Use CMPXCHG instead of clear_bit(), which currently emits a LOCK BTR since
the to-be-cleared bit isn't a compile-time constant, when aging SPTEs in
the shadow MMU to align with the approach taken by the TDP MMU, and because
using CMPXCHG is far more robust against bugs in KVM.  E.g. if the SPTE is
somehow no longer an SPTE due to a KVM bug, CMPXCHG will fail gracefully,
whereas clear_bit() would potentially corrupt/clobber memory.

Clearing the Accessed bit without atomically ensuring the SPTE is still the
old SPTE is "fine", as holding the rmap's lock ensures zapping the old SPTE
can't fully complete, which in turn ensures a new, different SPTE can't be
installed.  But that chain of logic isn't exactly obvious, and there's zero
reason to avoid CMPXCHG as its cost on modern hardware is within ~1-2 uops
of LOCK BTR (and may even be cheaper on some microarchitectures).  Doing a
64-bit CMPXCHG on 32-bit kernels does require a more expensive CMPXCHG8B,
but 32-bit KVM is all but dead at this point.

3d679b7cb3 KVM: x86/mmu: Use CMPXCHG when clearing Accessed bit in TDP MMU
Use LOCK CMPXCHG instead of LOCK AND to clear the Accessed bit when aging
SPTEs in the TDP MMU, as doing a LOCK AND can corrupt a FROZEN SPTE and
allow a third CPU to effectively overwrite the FROZEN SPTE.  As pointed
out by AI of some kind, because the magic FROZEN_SPTE value is a "full"
SPTE, not a single bit, and includes the Accessed bit, clearing the
Accessed bit in a FROZEN SPTE will result in is_frozen_spte() getting a
false negative.

E.g. if CPU0 freezes an SPTE, and CPU1 clears the Accessed bit in the
frozen SPTE, then CPU2 could come along and overwrite the frozen SPTE with
a shadow-present SPTE.

Thankfully, the false negative is largely benign, because outside of TDX,
which doesn't support aging, KVM only freezes leaf SPTEs when removing an
upper level shadow page.  So while KVM could clobber a frozen SPTE back to
a shadow-present SPTE, and could even use the new SPTE, the subsequent TLB
flush will make the orphaned, shadow-present SPTE unreachable.  Failure to
ever zap the orphaned leaf SPTE would show up in KVM's stats, but otherwise
is benign (because KVM no longer keeps an elevated refcount for leaf SPTEs).

Opportunistically add a comment to warn future developers away from using
kvm_tdp_mmu_write_spte_atomic() and tdp_mmu_clear_spte_bits_atomic(), as
they are generally unsafe.  Keep the helpers, e.g. instead of open-coding
the atomic64_fetch_and() in tdp_mmu_clear_spte_bits(), as scary warnings
usually are more effective deterrent against recidivism than removal of the
dangerous code.

Alternatively, KVM could use different bits for the magic FROZEN_SPTE value,
e.g. setting the Dirty bits (with effective IPAT and Global aliases) would
likely be "ok", as IPAT/Global are extremely unlikely to be cleared without
doing a full SPTE write, and KVM's clearing of Dirty bits shares logic with
Write-Protection, which must do a full SPTE write (via cmpxchg64() in the
TDP MMU) to ensure KVM isn't clobbering state.  But there is zero reason to
carry that risk (beyond stubbornness in wanting to preserve a "cute" idea),
as the cost of LOCK CMPXCHG and LOCK AND are within 1-2 uops of each other
on modern hardware.

2e8a2c1b03 KVM: x86/mmu: Check all address spaces before skipping unsync
mmu_try_to_unsync_pages() skips the shadow-page lookup when the
supplied memslot allows a hugepage, because a shadow page would disallow
hugepages.  But hugepage metadata is per-address-space while shadow pages
are shared across all address spaces.  With SMM, the other address space
can therefore have a shadow page even when the supplied memslot allows a
hugepage.

Check the corresponding memslot in the other address space before
taking the fast path.  Skip the shadow-page lookup only when all address
spaces allow a hugepage.

0f38453cdb KVM: x86/mmu: Check write tracking in all address spaces
kvm_gfn_is_write_tracked() checks only the supplied memslot, but page
tracking is per-address-space and shadow pages are shared across all
address spaces.  With SMM, a GFN can therefore be write-tracked in one
address space and appear untracked through the other.

Check the supplied slot first, then the slot for the other address space.
This ensures all callers honor write tracking regardless of the active

marking an upper-level shadow page unsync and eventually triggering the

e428f9779a KVM: x86/mmu: Consume the locked rmap value in the lockless rmap walk
__kvm_rmap_lock() deliberately elides the rmap lock when it observes an
empty rmap.  In that case kvm_rmap_lock_readonly() also re-enables
preemption and returns zero, so the caller holds neither the rmap lock
nor a preemption reference.  The elision documents the invariant it
relies on:

	 * Elide the lock if the rmap is empty, as lockless walkers (read-only
	 * mode) don't need to (and can't) walk an empty rmap, nor can they add
	 * entries to the rmap.  I.e. the only paths that process empty rmaps
	 * do so while holding mmu_lock for write, and are mutually exclusive.

kvm_rmap_age_gfn_range() ignores the returned value and unconditionally
enters for_each_rmap_spte_lockless().  The iterator started with
rmap_get_first(), which re-reads rmap_head->val rather than using the
value returned by the lock.  If a writer populates the rmap between the
lock's read and the iterator's re-read, the aging path walks the newly
installed rmap without holding its lock.

For a KVM_RMAP_MANY rmap this leaves the walker following a
pte_list_desc chain that it never locked.  A writer holding mmu_lock for
write may free that chain (e.g. kvm_zap_all_rmap_sptes() on the recycle
path, or any rmap zap) via kmem_cache_free() while the walk is in
progress, giving a slab use-after-free.  Nothing serialises the two: the
aging path runs without mmu_lock when CONFIG_KVM_MMU_LOCKLESS_AGING=y,
and the rmap lock that would otherwise exclude the writer was elided.
Because the empty path re-enables preemption, the interval between the
two reads can span an arbitrary scheduling delay.

Fix the class of bug by having the lockless walk consume the value
returned by the lock instead of re-reading the rmap.  Split
rmap_get_first() into __rmap_get_first(), which starts an iterator from
an already-read rmap value, and make for_each_rmap_spte_lockless() take
that value and call __rmap_get_first() directly.
kvm_rmap_age_gfn_range() passes the value returned by
kvm_rmap_lock_readonly(): when the lock was elided the value is zero,
__rmap_get_first() returns NULL, and the walk is skipped.  No lockless
walker re-reads the rmap, so the lock-elision invariant cannot be
violated, and no lock()-without-paired-unlock() path is added to the
aging code.

52f2f7c301 KVM: x86/mmu: Fix use-after-free on vendor module reload
mmu_destroy_caches() destroys pte_list_desc_cache and
mmu_page_header_cache, but leaves both pointers unchanged.  The pointers
live in kvm.ko, and therefore survive when a vendor module is unloaded
while kvm.ko remains loaded.

If creation of pte_list_desc_cache fails during a subsequent vendor
module load, its assignment sets pte_list_desc_cache to NULL and the
error path calls mmu_destroy_caches().  mmu_page_header_cache still
points to the cache destroyed during the preceding vendor module
unload.  Passing that stale pointer to kmem_cache_destroy() causes a
slab use-after-free.

Reproduce the issue on a v7.1.3 kernel with CONFIG_KASAN=y,
CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC=y, CONFIG_KVM=m, and CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m.  A
one-shot test hook forces pte_list_desc_cache to NULL on the second
invocation of kvm_mmu_vendor_module_init():

  1. Load kvm.ko and kvm-intel.ko, creating both caches.
  2. Unload only kvm_intel, leaving kvm.ko loaded.
  3. Reload kvm_intel and force initialization through the -ENOMEM path.

KASAN reports:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in

Clear both pointers immediately after destroying their caches so that
the stored state reflects the caches' lifetime and repeated cleanup is
safe.

With the fix applied, the same injected vendor module reload fails with
-ENOMEM as expected and produces no KASAN report.

7a2c70e777 KVM: x86/mmu: Preserve nested TDP shadow page tables if they are used as roots
kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages() excludes a shadow page whose root_count
is non-zero from top-level reclaim, because such a page cannot be
freed. The path in mmu_page_zap_pte() that recursively zaps a parentless
nested TDP child has no such check. As a result, a shadow page can
be zapped even if the page itself can't be freed; as the comment in
kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages() notes, zapping it will just force vCPUs
to rebuild the page.

As in top-level reclaim, do not recursively prepare zapping of a
nested TDP child whose root_count is non-zero.

2abd5287f0 KVM: x86: Check for invalid/obsolete root *after* making MMU pages available
Check for a "stale" page fault, i.e. for an invalid and/or obsolete root,
after making MMU pages available for the shadow MMU.  If reclaiming shadow
pages zaps an in-use root, i.e. marks it invalid, then KVM will attempt to
map memory into an invalid root.  On its own, populating an invalid root is
"fine", but because child shadow pages inherit their parent's role, any
children created during the map/fetch will be created as invalid pages,
thus violating KVM's invariant that invalid pages are never on the list of
active MMU pages.

Note, the underlying flaw has existed since KVM first started tracking
invalid roots in 2008 (commit 2e53d63acb, "KVM: MMU: ignore zapped root
pagetables"), but the true badness only came along in 2020 (Linux 5.9)
with the invariant that invalid shadow pages can't be on the list of
active pages.

Note #2, inheriting role.invalid when creating child shadow pages is also
far from ideal; that flaw will be addressed separately.

d1a3c21623 KVM: SEV: Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA if its backing gmem page is zapped
Wire up a gmem_invalidate_range() call for SNP VMs, and use it to force
vCPUs to reload/recheck their guest-provided VMSA if the backing gmem
page is being invalidated, e.g. is being PUNCH_HOLE'd.  Use the same core
logic to handle invalidations as VMX does for the APIC-access page, as the
two concepts are nearly identical: shove the physical address of a page
into the vCPU's control structure:

 1. Snapshot the invalidation sequence counter
 2. Grab the pfn (from guest_memfd in this case)
 3. Acquire mmu_lock for read
 4. Re-request reload if retry is needed, otherwise commit the change.

Note, the re-request action in #4 is necessary as KVM's retry logic is
fuzzy, i.e. can get false positives.  If the guest_memfd page has been
dropped, at some point a subsequent reload will fail to get a PFN from
guest_memfd, and KVM will fail KVM_RUN.  If the retry was due to a false
positive, KVM will retry until there are no relevant MMU notifier events
(and will retry in the "outer" loop, i.e. will drop locks and resched as
needed).

Note #2!  Take care to invalidate the VMSA when a relevant memslot is
DELETED or MOVED, as invalidations in response to PUNCH_HOLE are predicated
on memslot bindings (KVM doesn't know what GFN range(s) to invalidate
without a binding).  And more importantly, the VMSA mapping requires a
memslot, i.e. must be invalidated if its memslots disappears, regardless of
the state of the underlying guest_memfd inode.

Failure to invalidate the vCPU's control.vmsa_pa (which is checked by
pre_sev_run()) can prevent KVM from properly freeing the page as firmware
will reject the RMPUPDATE to reclaim the page with FAIL_INUSE if the vCPU
is actively running, i.e. if VMSA page is in-use.  That in turn leads to an
RMP #PF on the next use, as the page will still be assigned to the SNP VM.

Drop the pseudo-TODO comment about needing to pin the page if guest_memfd
every supports migration, as integrating with invalidations events means
KVM will Just Work if/when page migration is ever supported (assuming SNP
hardware supports migrating VMSA pages).

Note #3, invalidate() and invalidate_range() have _completely_ different
semantics; the new invalidate_range() is a true invalidation, whereas the
existing invalidate() is really a "make shared" operation.  Ignore the
confusing naming and poor Kconfig bundling for the moment to minimize the
delta for LTS kernels, the mess will be cleaned up shortly.

db095727ff KVM: x86/mmu: Use split "zap all fast" helpers when invalidating memslot
Manually invoke the front half and back half of the "zap all fast" flow
when invalidating a memslot so that mmu_lock is acquired at function scope
in kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot().   This will allow putting more code
inside the critical section without having to take mmu_lock twice in quick
succession.

Opportunistically open code checking whether or not to do the fast zap, to
discourage removing the local "zap_all" in a future cleanup, i.e. to ensure
the SLOT_ZAP_ALL quirk is queried exactly once.  Processing the front half
but not the back half of the fast zap (if SLOT_ZAP_ALL were disabled

216b1a47e8 KVM: x86/mmu: use kvm_page_format to test SPTEs
is_access_allowed(), and is_executable_pte() within it, are effectively a
special version of permission_fault() that only supports a subset of roles.
In particular it does not allow SMEP, SMAP and PKE; while SMAP and PKE are
not a problem (they are not supported by EPT/NPT and is_access_allowed() is
only used for either EPT/NPT or CR0.PG=0), lack of ring-0 execution checks
support means that KVM can only use MBEC and GMET with shadow paging.

Replace is_access_allowed() with a modified version of permission_fault(),
looking at the same bitmasks but using the struct kvm_mmu's fmt member;
the new version supports MBEC/GMET for free, just by virtue of filling
in the ACC_* masks from the SPTE.

This prepares for a possible future where TDP entries could have XS!=XU,
for example as part of implementing Hyper-V VSM natively inside KVM.

72f734a435 KVM: x86/mmu: pull page format to a new struct
Structs kvm_mmu ("build page tables") and kvm_pagewalk ("walk page
tables") share a piece of common functionality, namely "looking at PTEs".
Both of them have code to check is a specific access (described by
PFERR_* constants) is allowed by a PTE, and both of them also validate
that reserved bits are zero on the respective page tables page tables;
for SPTEs the code is only there to check internal consistency, but in
this case it is indeed shared via struct rsvd_bits_validate.

In preparation for sharing more PTE parsing code between struct
kvm_pagewalk and struct kvm_mmu, create a new struct that contains all
precalculated tables, including the data that is extracted from the
CPU role.  For now only struct kvm_pagewalk uses it.

148fe965df KVM: x86/mmu: unify root_gva_walk and ngva_walk
At this point, vcpu->arch.ngva_walk and vcpu->arch.root_gva_walk contain
the same information; compare init_kvm_page_walk() on one side with
init_kvm_softmmu() + shadow_mmu_init_context() on the other.  They only
differ in when each is active, and root_gva_walk is also used by shadow
paging, via FNAME(walk_addr) and its callers.

Always use the same instance of kvm_pagewalk to do GVA->GPA translations,
for both guest emulation and shadow paging, instead of flipping the
gva_walk pointer back and forth.  After all the page walking does behave
the same no matter if you are in guest mode or not; the difference lies
in the behavior of kvm_translate_gpa and thus in vcpu->arch.mmu, not in
the page walker itself.

This completes the transition from walk_mmu/nested_mmu as the page
walking entry points to gva_walk/ngpa_walk, and removes duplicated
code between the initialization of root_mmu.w and ngva_walk (The
Struct Formerly Known As nested_mmu).

0a59a8b8a2 KVM: x86/mmu: pull struct kvm_pagewalk out of struct kvm_mmu
Replace kvm_mmu's w field with a pointer to an external instance of
struct kvm_pagewalk.  This is the first step towards using a single
kvm_pagewalk struct for all GVA walks, whether nested or not.

With this patch, non-MMU code basically does not use kvm_mmu anymore:
it does care about page walks, but it funnels (almost) all interactions
with the TLB to mmu.c.

kvm_mmu_invalidate_addr() still needs to go from kvm_pagewalk to kvm_mmu,
and it cannot anymore use container_of() to do it; the mapping is hardcoded
based on the provided kvm_pagewalk, since there are just three of them.

9262ed5a03 KVM: x86/mmu: pass struct kvm_pagewalk to kvm_mmu_invalidate_addr
kvm_mmu_invalidate_addr()'s callers only want to tell it whether to
invalidate a GVA or GPA.  This will ultimately be represented by two
different kvm_pagewalk structs, so adjust the type of the parameter.

As of this patch, the GVA case is represented by both root_mmu.w and
nested_mmu.w.  Since nested_mmu never has a sync_spte callback, it would
exit at its check, but really nested_mmu should not be a kvm_mmu in the
first place: it is only used as the walk_mmu, and walk_mmu is only used
for its struct kvm_pagewalk member.

Since calling container_of() on the nested_mmu would be bogus after it is
turned into a struct kvm_pagewalk, introduce a separate check to check
if no work is needed beyond kvm_x86_call(flush_tlb_gva).  Implement it
so that it is as similar as possible to what was happening until now; that
is, do nothing if the invalidation is happening for a nested GVA.

02953418a1 KVM: x86/mmu: Expose number of shadow MMU shadow pages as a stat
Turn arch.n_used_mmu_pages into a stat, mmu_shadow_pages, as the number of
live shadow pages is arguably _the_ most critical datapoint when it comes
to analyzing the shadow MMU.  Before the TDP MMU came along, i.e. when the
shadow MMU was the only MMU, explicitly tracking the number of shadow pages
wasn't as interesting, because the same information could more or less be
gleaned from the pages_{1g,2m,4k} stats.  But with the TDP MMU, where the
shadow MMU is only used for nested TDP, it becomes extremely difficult, if
not impossible, to determine which SPTEs are coming from the TDP MMU, and
which are coming from the shadow MMU.

E.g. when triaging/debugging shadow MMU performance issues due to "too many
shadow pages", being able to observe that 99%+ of all shadow pages are
unsync is critical to being able to deduce that KVM is effectively leaking
shadow pages.

 absolutely no new feature in the pull request. It is purely fixes,
 because it is simply becoming too hard to review new stuff when so
 many AI-fuelled fixes hit the list".
 
 - Significant cleanup of the vgic-v5 PPI support which was merged in
   7.1. This makes the code more maintainable, and squashes a couple
   of bugs in the meantime.
 
 - Set of fixes for the handling of the MMU in an NV context,
   particularly VNCR-triggered faults. S1POE support is fixed
   as well.
 
 - Large set of pKVM fixes, mostly addressing recurring issues
   around hypervisor tracking of donated pages in obscure cases
   where the donation could fail and leave things in a bizarre
   state.
 
 - Fixes for the so-called "lazy vgic init", which resulted in
   sleeping operations in non-preemptible sections. This turned
   out to be far more invasive than initially expected...
 
 - Reduce the overhead of L1/L2 context switch by not touching
   the FP registers.
 
 - Fix the way non-implemented page sizes are dealt with when
   a guest insist on using them for S2 translation.
 
 - The usual set of low-impact fixes and cleanups all over the map.
 
 Loongarch:
 
 - On a request for lazy FPU load, load all FPU state that the VM
   supports instead of enabling only the part (FPU, LSX or LASX)
   that caused the FPU load request.
 
 - Some enhancements about interrupt injection.
 
 - Some bug fixes and other small changes.
 
 RISC-V:
 
 - Batch G-stage TLB flushes for GPA range based page table updates
 
 - Convert HGEI line management to fully per-HART
 
 - Fix missing CSR dirty marking when FWFT state updated via ONE_REG
 
 - Fix stale FWFT feature exposure to Guest/VM
 
 - Speed up dirty logging write faults using MMU rwlock and atomic
   PTE updates using cmpxchg() for permission-only changes
 
 - Use flexible array for APLIC IRQ state
 
 - Use kvm_slot_dirty_track_enabled() for logging enable check on
   a memslot

 - Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory
 
 S390:
 
 - KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY support
 
 - Support for 2G hugepages
 
 - Support for the ASTFLEIE 2 facility
 
 - Support for fast inject using kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic
 
 - Fix potential leak of uninitialized bytes
 
 - A few more misc gmap fixes.
 
 x86:
 
 - Generic support for the more granular permissions allowed by EPT,
   namely "read" (which was previously usurping the U bit) and
   separate execution bits for kernel and userspace.
 
 - Do not assume that all page tables start with U=1/W=1/NX=0 at the
   root, as AMD GMET needs to have U=0 at the root.
 
 - Introduce common assembly macros for use within Intel and AMD
   vendor-specific vmentry code.  This touches the SPEC_CTRL handling,
   which is now entirely done in assembly for Intel (by reusing the
   AMD code that already existed), and register save/restore which
   uses some macro magic to compute the offsets in the struct.  Both
   of these are preparatory changes for upcoming APX support.
 
 - Clean up KVM's register tracking and storage, primarily to prepare for
   APX support, which expands the maximum number of GPRs from 16 to 32.
 
 - Keep a single copy of the PDPTRs rather than two, since architecturally
   there is just one.
 
 - Handle EXIT_FASTPATH_EXIT_USERSPACE in vendor code to ensure vendor code
   gets a chance to handle things like reaping the PML buffer.

   succeeds.
 
 - Fix a variety of issues where the emulator doesn't honor guest-debug state,
   and clean up related code along the way.
 
 - Synthesize EPT Violation and #NPF "error code" bits when injecting faults
   into L1 that didn't originate in hardware (in which case the VMCS/VMCB
   doesn't hold relevant information).
 
 - Add support for virtualizing (well, emulating) AMD's flavor of CPL>0 CPUID
   faulting.
 
 - Clean up the GPR APIs so that KVM's use of "raw" is consistent, and fix a
   variety of minor bugs along the way.
 
 - Fix an OOB memory access due to not checking the VP ID when handling a
   Hyper-V PV TLB flush for L2.
 
 - Fix a bug in the mediated PMU's handling of fixed counters that allowed the
   guest to bypass the PMU event filter.
 
 - Allow userspace to return EAGAIN when handling SNP and TDX hypercalls, so
   the KVM can forward a "retry" status code to the guest, and reserve all
   unused error codes for future usage.
 
 - Overhaul the TDP MMU => S-EPT code to move as much S-EPT specific logic as
   possible into the TDX code, and to funnel (almost) all S-EPT updates into
   a single chokepoint.  The motivation is largely to prepare for upcoming
   Dynamic PAMT support, but the cleanups are nice to have on their own.
 
 - Plug a hole in shadow page table handling, where KVM fails to recursively
   zap nested EPT/NPT shadow page tables when the nested hypervisor tears
   down its own EPT/NPT page tables from the bottom up
 
 x86 (Intel):
 
 - Support for nested MBEC (Mode-Based Execute Control), see above in the
   generic section; also run with MBEC enabled even for non-nested mode.
 
 - Use the kernel's "enum pg_level" in the TDX APIs instead of the TDX-Module's
   level definitions (which are 0-based).
 
 - Rework the TDX memory APIs to not require/assume that guest memory is
   backed by "struct page" (in prepartion for guest_memfd hugepage support).
 
 - Fix a largely benign bug where KVM TDX would incorrectly state it could
   emulate several x2APIC MSRs.
 
 - Use the "safe" WRMSR API when proxying LBR MSR writes as the to-be-written
   value is guest controlled and completely unvalidated.
 
 x86 (AMD):
 
 - Support for nested GMET (Guest Mode Execution Trap), see above in the
   generic section; also run with GMET enabled even for non-nested mode.
 
 - Fixes and minor cleanups to GHCB handling, on top of the earlier work
   already merged into 7.1-rc.
 
 - Ensure KVM's copy of CR0 and CR3 are up-to-date prior to invoking
   fastpath handlers.
 
 - Add support for virtualizing gPAT (KVM previously just used L1's PAT when
   running L2).
 
 - Fix goofs where KVM mishandles side effects (e.g. single-step and PMC
   updates) when emulating VMRUN.
 
 - Fix a variety of bugs in AVIC's handling of x2APIC MSR interception, most
   notably where KVM didn't disable interception of IRR, ISR, and TMR regs.
 
 - Add support for virtualizing Host-Only/Guest-Only bits in the mediated PMU.
 
 - Don't advertise support for unusable VM types, and account for VM types
   that are disabled by firmware, e.g. to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
 
 - Rewrite the SEV {en,de}crypt debug ioctls as they were riddle with bugs and
   unnecessarily complicated, and add comprehensive tests.
 
 - Clean up and deduplicate the SEV page pinning code.
 
 - Fix minor goofs related to writing back CPUID information after firmware
   rejects a CPUID page for an SNP vCPU.
 
 Generic:
 
 - Rename invalidate_begin() to invalidate_start() throughout KVM to follow
   the kernel's nomenclature, e.g. for mmu_notifiers.
 
 - Use guard() to cleanup up various KVM+VFIO flows.
 
 - Minor cleanups.
 
 guest_memfd:
 
 - Return -EEXIST instead of -EINVAL if userspace attempts to bind a gmem
   range to multiple memslots, and fix the test that was supposed to ensure
   KVM returns -EEXIST.
 
 - Treat memslot binding offsets and sizes as unsigned values to fix a bug
   where KVM interprets a large "offset + size" as a negative value and allows
   a nonsensical offset.
 
 - Use the inode number instead of the page offset for the NUMA interleaving
   index to fix a bug where the effective index would jump by two for
   consecutive pages (the caller also adds in the page offset).
 
 Selftests:
 
 - Randomize the dirty log test's delay when reaping the bitmap on the first
   pass, as always waiting only 1ms hid a KVM RISC-V bug as the test reaped the
   bitmap before KVM could build up enough state to hit the bug.
 
 - A pile of one-off fixes and cleanups.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "arm64:

     This is a bit of an odd merge window on the KVM/arm64 front. There
     is absolutely no new feature in the pull request. It is purely
     fixes, because it is simply becoming too hard to review new stuff
     when so many AI-fuelled fixes hit the list.

   - Significant cleanup of the vgic-v5 PPI support which was merged in
     7.1. This makes the code more maintainable, and squashes a couple
     of bugs in the meantime

   - Set of fixes for the handling of the MMU in an NV context,
     particularly VNCR-triggered faults. S1POE support is fixed as well

   - Large set of pKVM fixes, mostly addressing recurring issues around
     hypervisor tracking of donated pages in obscure cases where the
     donation could fail and leave things in a bizarre state

   - Fixes for the so-called "lazy vgic init", which resulted in
     sleeping operations in non-preemptible sections. This turned out to
     be far more invasive than initially expected..

   - Reduce the overhead of L1/L2 context switch by not touching the FP
     registers

   - Fix the way non-implemented page sizes are dealt with when a guest
     insist on using them for S2 translation

   - The usual set of low-impact fixes and cleanups all over the map

  Loongarch:

   - On a request for lazy FPU load, load all FPU state that the VM
     supports instead of enabling only the part (FPU, LSX or LASX) that
     caused the FPU load request

   - Some enhancements about interrupt injection

   - Some bug fixes and other small changes

  RISC-V:

   - Batch G-stage TLB flushes for GPA range based page table updates

   - Convert HGEI line management to fully per-HART

   - Fix missing CSR dirty marking when FWFT state updated via ONE_REG

   - Fix stale FWFT feature exposure to Guest/VM

   - Speed up dirty logging write faults using MMU rwlock and atomic PTE
     updates using cmpxchg() for permission-only changes

   - Use flexible array for APLIC IRQ state

   - Use kvm_slot_dirty_track_enabled() for logging enable check on a
     memslot

ef057cbf82 KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure hugepage is in by slot before checking max mapping level
When recovering hugepages in the shadow MMU, verify that the base gfn of
the shadow page is actually contained within the target memslot, *before*
querying the max mapping level given the shadow page's gfn.  Failure to
pre-check the validity of the gfn can lead to an out-of-bounds access to
the slot's lpage_info (which typically manifests as a host #PF because the
lpage_info is vmalloc'd) if the guest creates a hugepage mapping (in its
PTEs) that extends "below" the bounds of a memslot.

When faulting in memory for a guest, and the size of the guest mapping is
greater than KVM's (current) max mapping, then KVM will create a "direct"
shadow page (direct in that there are no gPTEs to shadow, and so the target
gfn is a direct calculation given the base gfn of the shadow page).  The
hugepage recovery flow looks for such direct shadow pages, as forcing 4KiB
mappings when dirty logging generates the guest > host mapping size case.
When the 4KiB restriction is lifted, then KVM can replace the shadow page
with a hugepage.

But if KVM originally used a smaller mapping than the guest because the
range of memory covered by the guest hugepage exceeds the bounds of a
memslot, then KVM will link a direct shadow page with a gfn that is outside
the bounds of the memslot being used to fault in memory.  The rmap entry
added for the leaf mapping is correct and within bounds, but the gfn of the
leaf SPTE's parent shadow page will be out of bounds.

Don't bother pre-checking the bounds of the potential hugepage, i.e. don't
check that e.g. sp->gfn + KVM_PAGES_PER_HPAGE(sp->role.level + 1) is also
within the memslot, as the checks performed by kvm_mmu_max_mapping_level()
are a superset of the basic bounds checks.  I.e. pre-checking the full
range would be a dubious micro-optimization.
