1620ddc0dc KVM/x86: Stop using 32-bit MSR interfaces
The 32-bit MSR interfaces rdmsr(), wrmsr() and  rdmsr_safe() are
planned to be removed. Use the related 64-bit variants instead.

No change in functionality intended.

"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
 
 - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_wp_range()
 
 - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_unmap_range()
 
 - 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.
 
 - Update KVM's view of PV async enabling if and only if the MSR write fully
   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.

856bc8bb99 x86/virt/tdx: Refresh TDX module version after update
The kernel exposes the TDX module version through sysfs so userspace
can check update compatibility. That information needs to remain
accurate across runtime updates.

A runtime update may change the module's update_version, so refresh
the cached version right after a successful update.

Drop __ro_after_init from tdx_sysinfo because it is now updated at
runtime.

Do not refresh the rest of tdx_sysinfo, even if some values change
across updates. TDX module updates are backward compatible, so
existing tdx_sysinfo consumers, such as KVM, can continue to operate
without seeing the new values.

6e97c234cd x86/virt/seamldr: Add module update locking
TDX metadata like the version number changes during a module update.
Add functions to lock out module updates.

The current stop_machine() implementation uses worker threads. The
scheduler actually does a full, normal context switch over to that
thread. preempt_disable() obviously inhibits that context switch and
thus, locks out stop_machine() users like the module update.

Thanks to Chao for the idea of using preempt_disable().

b344c50a1a x86/virt/tdx: Restore TDX module state
After per-CPU initialization, the module is nearly functional. It is
in a similar state to TDX initialization before TDH.SYS.CONFIG.

At this point, the kernel _could_ just repeat the boot-time sequence,
but that would land the new module in a slightly different state than
the old module.  This would leave old TDs unrunnable, which is not a
good outcome.

Thankfully, the "handoff" data saved during module shutdown should
contain all the information needed to restore the TDX module state to
exactly what it was before the update.

Restore TDX module state. The TDX module only needs a single copy so
only do this on the lead CPU.

Restoration errors can theoretically be handled in a few ways. For
instance, userspace could try to load a different TDX module version.
Or, the kernel could give up on the handoff process and just
reinitialize the new module from scratch, which would lose all
existing TDs.

Simply propagate errors to userspace. Ignore the idea of a
TD-destroying reinitialization. It would destroy data like a reboot
and if things have gone that wrong a reboot is probably the best
option anyway.

Note: the location and the format of handoff data is defined by the
TDX module. The new module knows where to get handoff data and how to
parse it. The kernel does not touch it at all.

bf7c0ed2c3 x86/virt/seamldr: Initialize the newly-installed TDX module
Continue fleshing out the update process. At this point the new module
is sitting in memory but has never been called and is not usable. It
is in a similar state to the when the system first boots.

Leave the P-SEAMLDR behind. Stop making calls to it. Transition to
calling the new TDX module itself to set up both global and per-cpu
state.

Share tdx_cpu_enable() with the fresh-boot module initialization code.
Export it and invoke it on all CPUs.

Note: "TDX global initialization" needs to be done once before "TDX
per-CPU initialization". It would be a great fit for the new runtime
update "is_lead_cpu" logic. But tdx_cpu_enable() already has some
logic to do the global initialization properly. Just use it directly
to maximize fresh-boot and runtime update code sharing.

== Background ==

The boot-time and post-update initialization flows share the same first
steps:

- TDX global initialization
- TDX per-CPU initialization

After that, they diverge:

- Fresh boot:
   Prepare TDMRs/PAMTs
   Configure the TDX module
   Configure the global KeyID
   Initialize TDMRs
- Runtime update:
   Restore TDX module state from handoff data

Future changes will consume the handoff data.

65a6542a81 x86/virt/tdx: Reset software states during TDX module shutdown
The TDX module requires a one-time global initialization (TDH.SYS.INIT) and
per-CPU initialization (TDH.SYS.LP.INIT) before use. These initializations
are guarded by software flags to prevent repetition.

Reset all software flags guarding the initialization flows to allow the
global and per-CPU initializations to be triggered again after updates.

9ea06080a6 x86/virt/seamldr: Shut down the current TDX module
The first step of TDX module updates is shutting down the current TDX
module. This step also packs state information that needs to be
preserved across updates, called "handoff data". This handoff data is
consumed by the updated module and stored internally in the SEAM range and
hidden from the kernel.

Since the handoff data layout may change between modules, the handoff
data is versioned. Each module has a native handoff version and
provides backward support for several older versions.

The complete handoff versioning protocol is complex as it supports both
module upgrades and downgrades. See details in "Intel Trust Domain
Extensions (Intel TDX) Module Base Architecture Specification", Chapter
"Handoff Versioning".

Ideally, the kernel needs to retrieve the handoff versions supported by
the current module and the new module and select a version supported by
both. But since this implementation only supports module upgrades, simply
request handoff data from the current module using its highest supported
version. That is sufficient for this upgrade-only implementation.

Retrieve the module's handoff version from TDX global metadata and add an
update step to shut down the module. Module shutdown only needs to run on
one CPU.

Don't cache the handoff information in tdx_sysinfo. It is used only for
module shutdown, and is present only when the TDX module supports updates.
Caching it in get_tdx_sys_info() would require extra update-support guards
and refreshing the cached value across module updates.

[ dhansen: fix up function variables, remove 'cpu'.

be4efe63c0 x86/virt/seamldr: Abort updates after a failed step
A TDX module update is a multi-step process, and any step can fail.

The current update flow continues to later steps after an error.
Continuing after a failure can cause the TDX module to enter an
unrecoverable state.

But certain failures during the initial module shutdown step should
simply return an error to userspace, so the update can be retried
cleanly.

To preserve that recoverability, one option would be to abort the
update only for those failures, since they occur before any TDX module
state is changed. But special-casing specific failures in specific
steps would complicate the do-while() update loop for no benefit.

Simply abort update on any failure, at any step.

Track failures for each step, stop the update loop once a failure is
observed, and do not advance the state machine to the next step.

ab6be1168c x86/virt/seamldr: Introduce skeleton for TDX module updates
tl;dr: Use stop_machine() and a state machine based on the
"MULTI_STOP" pattern to implement core TDX module update logic.

Long version:

TDX module updates require careful synchronization with other TDX
operations. The requirements are (#1/#2 reflect current behavior that
must be preserved):

1. SEAMCALLs need to be callable from both process and IRQ contexts.
2. SEAMCALLs need to be able to run concurrently across CPUs
3. During updates, only update-related SEAMCALLs are permitted; all
   other SEAMCALLs shouldn't be called.
4. During updates, all online CPUs must participate in the update work.

No single lock primitive satisfies all requirements. For instance,
rwlock_t handles #1/#2 but fails #4: CPUs spinning with IRQs disabled
cannot be directed to perform update work.

Use stop_machine() as it is the only well-understood mechanism that can
meet all requirements.

And TDX module updates consist of several steps (See Intel Trust Domain
Extensions (Intel TDX) Module Base Architecture Specification, Chapter
"TD-Preserving TDX module Update"). Ordering requirements between steps
mandate lockstep synchronization across all CPUs.

multi_cpu_stop() provides a good example of executing a multi-step task
in lockstep across CPUs, but it does not synchronize the individual
steps inside the callback itself.

Implement a similar state machine as the skeleton for TDX module
updates. Each state represents one step in the update flow, and the
state advances only after all CPUs acknowledge completion of the current
step. This acknowledgment mechanism provides the required lockstep
execution.

The update flow is intentionally simpler than multi_cpu_stop() in two ways:

  a) use a spinlock to protect the control data instead of atomic_t and
     explicit memory barriers.

  b) omit touch_nmi_watchdog() and rcu_momentary_eqs(), which exist
     there for debugging and are not strictly needed for this update flow

Potential alternative to stop_machine()
=======================================
An alternative approach is to lock all KVM entry points and kick all
vCPUs. Here, KVM entry points refer to KVM VM/vCPU ioctl entry points,
implemented in KVM common code (virt/kvm). Adding a locking mechanism
there would affect all architectures KVM supports. And to lock only TDX
vCPUs, new logic would be needed to identify TDX vCPUs, which the KVM
common code currently lacks. This would add significant complexity and
maintenance overhead to KVM for this TDX-specific use case, so don't take
this approach.

23a81e6cce x86/virt/seamldr: Allocate and populate a module update request
There are two important ABIs here:

'struct tdx_image'	- The on-disk and in-memory format for a TDX
			  module update image.
'struct seamldr_params'	- The in-memory ABI passed to the TDX module
			  loader. Points to a single 'struct tdx_image'
			  broken up into 4k pages.

Userspace supplies the update image in 'struct tdx_image' format. The
image consists of a header followed by a sigstruct and the module
binary. P-SEAMLDR, however, consumes 'struct seamldr_params' rather
than the image directly.

Parse the 'struct tdx_image' provided by userspace and populate a
matching 'struct seamldr_params'.

The 'tdx_image' ABI is versioned. Two public versions exist today:
0x100 and 0x200. This kernel only accepts 0x200. The older 0x100
format is being deprecated and is intentionally not supported here.
Future versions of the module might be able to use the same ABIs
(user/kernel and kernel/SEAMLDR) but they will not be able to use this
kernel code.

Reject module images without that specific version. This ensures that
the kernel is able to understand the passed-in format.

Validate the 'struct tdx_image' header before using it, because the
header is consumed solely by the kernel to locate the sigstruct and
module within the image. Do not validate the payload itself. The
sigstruct and module pages are passed through to P-SEAMLDR, which
validates them as part of the update.

sigstruct_pages_pa_list currently has only one entry, but it will grow
to four pages in the future. Keep it as an array for symmetry with
module_pages_pa_list and for extensibility.

c3e70c5ee5 coco/tdx-host: Implement firmware upload sysfs ABI for TDX module updates
tl;dr: Select fw_upload for doing TDX module updates. The process of
selecting among available update images is complicated and nuanced. Punt
the selection process out to userspace. One existing userspace
implementation today is the script in the Intel TDX Module Binaries
repository[1].

Long Version:

The kernel supports two primary firmware update mechanisms:
 1. request_firmware() - used by microcode, SEV firmware, hundreds of
			 other drivers
 2. 'struct fw_upload' - used by CXL, FPGA updates, dozens of others

The key difference between is that request_firmware() loads a named file
from the filesystem where the filename is kernel-controlled, while
fw_upload accepts firmware data directly from userspace.

TDX module firmware update selection policy is too complex for the kernel.
Leave it to userspace and use fw_upload.

Add a skeleton fw_upload implementation to be fleshed out in subsequent
patches.

Refactor the sysfs visiblity attribute function so it can be used as a
more generic flag for the presence of viable runtime update support.

Why fw_upload instead of request_firmware()?
============================================

Selecting a TDX module update image is not a simple "load the latest"
decision. Userspace needs to choose an image that is compatible with both
the platform and the currently running module.

Some constraints are hard requirements:

a. Module version series are platform-specific. For example, the 1.5.x
   series runs on Sapphire Rapids but not Granite Rapids, which needs
   2.0.x.

b. Updates are also constrained by version distance. A 1.5.6 module
   might permit updates to 1.5.7 but not to 1.5.50.

There may also be userspace policy choices:

c. Decide the update direction: upgrade or downgrade

d. Choose whether to optimize for fewer updates or smaller version
   steps, for example, 1.2.3=>1.2.5 versus 1.2.3=>1.2.4=>1.2.5.

Given that complexity, leave module selection to userspace and use
fw_upload.

5ce9cc5a23 coco/tdx-host: Don't expose P-SEAMLDR information on CPUs with erratum
TDX-capable CPUs clobber the current VMCS on P-SEAMLDR calls. Clearing
the current VMCS behind KVM's back breaks KVM.

Future CPUs will fix this by preserving the current VMCS across
P-SEAMLDR calls. A future specification update will describe the
VMCS-clearing behavior as an erratum and to state that it does not
occur when IA32_VMX_BASIC[60] is set.

Add a CPU bug bit and refuse to expose P-SEAMLDR information on
affected CPUs.

Use a CPU bug bit to stay consistent with X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE. As a
bonus, the bug bit is visible to userspace, which allows userspace to
determine why these sysfs files are not exposed, and it can also be
checked by other kernel components in the future if needed.

== Alternatives ==
Two workarounds were considered but both were rejected:

1. Save/restore the current VMCS around P-SEAMLDR calls. This produces ugly
   assembly code [1] and doesn't play well with #MCE or #NMI if they
   need to use the current VMCS.

2. Move KVM's VMCS tracking logic to the TDX core code, which would break
   the boundary between KVM and the TDX core code [2].

0988bf698a x86/virt/seamldr: Add a helper to retrieve P-SEAMLDR information
P-SEAMLDR reports its state via SEAMLDR.INFO, including its version and
the number of remaining runtime updates.

This information is useful for userspace. For example, userspace can
use the P-SEAMLDR version to determine whether a candidate TDX module
is compatible with the running loader, and can use the remaining
update count to determine whether another runtime update is still
possible.

Add a helper to retrieve P-SEAMLDR information in preparation for
exposing P-SEAMLDR version and other necessary information to userspace.
Export the new kAPI for use by the "tdx_host" device.

Note that there are two distinct P-SEAMLDR APIs with similar names:

  "SEAMLDR.INFO" is metadata about the loader. It's metadata for the
  update process.

  "SEAMLDR.SEAMINFO" is metadata about SEAM mode. It is for the module
  init process, not for the update process.

Use SEAMLDR.INFO here.

9bc3ce2c5d x86/virt/seamldr: Introduce a wrapper for P-SEAMLDR SEAMCALLs
The TDX architecture uses the "SEAMCALL" instruction to communicate with
SEAM mode software. Right now, the only SEAM mode software that the kernel
communicates with is the TDX module. But, there is actually another
component that runs in SEAM mode but it is separate from the TDX module:
the persistent SEAM loader or "P-SEAMLDR". Right now, the only component
that communicates with it is the BIOS which loads the TDX module itself at
boot. But, to support updating the TDX module, the kernel now needs to be
able to talk to it.

P-SEAMLDR SEAMCALLs differ from TDX module SEAMCALLs in areas such as
concurrency requirements.

Add a P-SEAMLDR wrapper to handle these differences and prepare for
implementing concrete functions.

Use seamcall_prerr() (not '_ret') because current P-SEAMLDR calls do not
use any output registers other than RAX.

Note: Despite the similar name, the NP-SEAMLDR ("Non-Persistent")
(ACM) invoked exclusively by the BIOS at boot rather than a component
running in SEAM mode. The kernel cannot call it at runtime. It exposes
no SEAMCALL interface.

6fe8a33fdb coco/tdx-host: Expose TDX module version
For TDX module updates, userspace needs to select compatible update
versions based on the current module version.

For example, the 1.5.x series runs on Sapphire Rapids but not Granite
Rapids, which needs 2.0.x. Updates are also constrained by version
distance, so a 1.5.6 module might permit updates to 1.5.7 but not to
1.5.20.

Start the process of punting the version selection logic to userspace.
Expose the TDX module version in the new faux device.

Define TDX_VERSION_FMT macro for the TDX version format since it will be
used multiple times. Also convert an existing print statement to use it.

== Background ==

For posterity, here's what other firmware mechanisms do:

1. AMD SEV leverages an existing PCI device for the PSP to expose
   metadata. TDX uses a faux device as it doesn't have PCI device
   in its architecture.

2. Microcode uses per-CPU virtual devices to report microcode revisions
   because CPUs can have different revisions. But, there is only a
   single TDX module, so exposing the TDX module version through a global
   TDX faux device is appropriate

3. ARM's CCA implementation isn't in-tree yet, but will likely follow a
   similar faux device approach, though it's unclear whether they need
   to expose firmware version information

5978335346 coco/tdx-host: Introduce a "tdx_host" device
TDX depends on a platform firmware module that runs on the CPU.
Unlike other CoCo architectures, TDX has no hardware "device"
running the show, just a blob on the CPU.

Create a virtual device to anchor interactions with this platform
firmware. This lets later code:

 - expose metadata: TDX module version, seamldr version, to userspace
   as device attributes

 - implement firmware uploader APIs (which are tied to a device) to
   support TDX module runtime updates

Use a faux device because the TDX module is singular within the system
and has no platform resources. Using a faux device eliminates the need
to create a stub bus.

The call to tdx_get_sysinfo() ensures that the TDX module is ready to
provide services.

Note that AMD has a PCI device for the PSP for SEV and ARM CCA will
likely have a faux device [1].

Thanks to Dan and Yilun for all the help on this one.

2e41297bfa x86/virt/tdx: Move low level SEAMCALL helpers out of <asm/tdx.h>
TDX host core code implements three seamcall*() helpers to make SEAMCALLs
to the TDX module.  Currently, they are implemented in <asm/tdx.h> and
are exposed to other kernel code which includes <asm/tdx.h>.

However, other than the TDX host core, seamcall*() are not expected to
be used by other kernel code directly.  For instance, for all SEAMCALLs
that are used by KVM, the TDX host core exports a wrapper function for
each of them.

Move seamcall*() and related code out of <asm/tdx.h> and make them only
visible to TDX host core.

Since TDX host core tdx.c is already very heavy, don't put low level
seamcall*() code there but to a new dedicated "seamcall_internal.h".  Also,
currently tdx.c has seamcall_prerr*() helpers which additionally print
error message when calling seamcall*() fails.  Move them to
"seamcall_internal.h" as well. In such way all low level SEAMCALL helpers
are in a dedicated place, which is much more readable.

451735bf90 x86/virt/tdx: Consolidate TDX global initialization states
The kernel uses several global flags to guard one-time TDX initialization
flows and prevent them from being repeated.

When the TDX module is updated, all of those states must be reset so that
the module can be initialized again. Today those states are kept as
separate global variables, which makes the reset path awkward and easy to
miss when a new state is added.

Group the states into a single structure so they can be reset together, for
example with memset(), and so a newly added state won't be missed.

Drop the __ro_after_init annotation from tdx_module_initialized because
the other two states do not have it. And with TDX module update support,
all the states need to be writable at runtime.

9c0c68708d x86/virt/tdx: Move TDX global initialization states to file scope
TDX module global initialization is executed only once. The first call
caches both the result and the "done" state, and later callers reuse the
saved result. A lock protects that cached states.

Those states and the lock are currently kept as function-local statics
because they are used only by try_init_module_global().

TDX module updates need to reset the cached states so TDX global
initialization can be run again after an update. That will add another
access site in the same file.

Move the cached states to file scope so it is accessible outside
try_init_module_global(), and move the lock along with the states it
protects.

No functional change intended.

1ffa6a1025 x86/virt/tdx: Clarify try_init_module_global() result caching
TDX module global initialization is executed only once. The first call
caches both the return code and the "done" state in static function
variables.  Later callers read the variables. A lock protects the
saved state and serializes callers.

These variables will soon be moved to a global structure. Prepare for
that by treating the variables as a unit. Assign them together and
limit accesses to while the lock is held.

4a72a6dc44 x86/tdx: Drop exported function tdx_quirk_reset_page()
KVM invokes tdx_quirk_reset_page() to reset TDX control pages (including
S-EPT pages, TDR page, etc.), as all those pages are allocated by KVM TDX
and thus always have struct page.

However, it's also reasonable for KVM to reset those TDX control pages via
tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() directly, eliminating the need to export two
parallel APIs. Keeping tdx_quirk_reset_page() as a one-line helper in the
header file is also unnecessary.

No functional change intended.

4c7a124764 x86/tdx: Use PFN directly for unmapping guest private memory
Remove struct page assumptions/constraints in APIs for unmapping guest
private memory and have them take physical address directly.

Having core TDX make assumptions that guest private memory must be backed
by struct page (and/or folio) will create subtle dependencies on how
KVM/guest_memfd allocates/manages memory (e.g., whether it uses memory
allocated from core MM, if the memory is refcounted, or if the folio is
split) that are easily avoided. [1].

KVM's MMUs work with PFNs. This is very much an intentional design choice.
It ensures that the KVM MMUs remain flexible and are not too tightly tied
to the regular CPU MMUs and the kernel code around them. Using
"struct page" for TDX guest memory is not a good fit anywhere near the KVM
MMU code [2].

Therefore, for unmapping guest private memory: export
tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() for direct KVM invocation, and convert the SEAMCALL
wrapper API tdh_phymem_page_wbinvd_hkid() to take PFN as input (thus
updating mk_keyed_paddr() and tdh_phymem_page_wbinvd_tdr()).

Intentionally have KVM pass PAGE_SIZE (rather than KVM_HPAGE_SIZE(level))
to tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() in tdx_sept_remove_private_spte() to avoid
mixing in huge page changes. The KVM_BUG_ON() check for !PG_LEVEL_4K in
tdx_sept_remove_private_spte() justifies using PAGE_SIZE.

Do not convert tdx_reclaim_page() to use PFN as input since it currently
does not remove guest private memory.

Use "kvm_pfn_t pfn" for type safety. Using this KVM type is appropriate
since APIs tdh_phymem_page_wbinvd_hkid() and tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() are
exported to KVM only.

4487492b92 x86/tdx: Use pg_level in TDX APIs, not the TDX-Module's 0-based level
Rework the TDX APIs to take the kernel's 1-based pg_level enum, not the
TDX-Module's 0-based level.  The APIs are _kernel_ APIs, not TDX-Module
APIs, and the kernel (and KVM) uses "enum pg_level" literally everywhere.

Using "enum pg_level" eliminates ambiguity when looking at the APIs (it's
NOT clear that "int level" refers to the TDX-Module's level), and will
allow for using existing helpers like page_level_size() when support for
hugepages is added to the S-EPT APIs.

No functional change intended.

5b25f249be x86/tdx: Disable the TDX module during kexec and kdump
Use the TDH.SYS.DISABLE SEAMCALL, which disables the TDX module,
reclaims all memory resources assigned to TDX, and clears any
partial-write induced poison, to allow kexec and kdump on platforms with
the partial write errata.

On TDX-capable platforms with the partial write erratum, kexec has been
disabled because the new kernel could hit a machine check reading a
previously poisoned memory location.

Later TDX modules support TDH.SYS.DISABLE, which disables the module and
reclaims all TDX memory resources, allowing the new kernel to re-initialize
TDX from scratch. This operation also clears the old memory, cleaning up
any poison.

Add tdx_sys_disable() to tdx_shutdown(), which is called in the
syscore_shutdown path for kexec. This is done just before tdx_shutdown()
disables VMX on all CPUs.

For kdump, call tdx_sys_disable() in the crash path before
x86_virt_emergency_disable_virtualization_cpu() does VMXOFF.

Since this clears any poison on TDX-managed memory, remove the
X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE check in machine_kexec() that blocked kexec on
partial write errata platforms.

b7d2173946 x86/virt/tdx: Add SEAMCALL wrapper for TDH.SYS.DISABLE
Some early TDX-capable platforms have an erratum where a partial write
to TDX private memory can cause a machine check on a subsequent read.
On these platforms, kexec and kdump have been disabled in these cases,
because the old kernel cannot safely hand off TDX state to the new
kernel. Later TDX modules support the TDH.SYS.DISABLE SEAMCALL, which
provides a way to cleanly disable TDX and allow kexec to proceed.

The new SEAMCALL has an enumeration bit, but that is ignored. It is
expected that users will be using the latest TDX module, and the failure
mode for running the missing SEAMCALL on an older module is not fatal.

This can be a long running operation, and the time needed largely
depends on the amount of memory that has been allocated to TDs. If all
TDs have been destroyed prior to the sys_disable call, then it is fast,
with only needing to override the TDX module memory.

After the SEAMCALL completes, the TDX module is disabled and all memory
resources allocated to TDX are freed and reset. The next kernel can then
re-initialize the TDX module from scratch via the normal TDX bring-up
sequence.

The SEAMCALL can return two different error codes that expect a retry.
 - TDX_INTERRUPTED_RESUMABLE can be returned in the case of a host
   interrupt. However, it will not return until it makes some forward
   progress, so we can expect to complete even in the case of interrupt
   storms.
 - TDX_SYS_BUSY will be returned on contention with other TDH.SYS.*
   SEAMCALLs, however a side effect of TDH.SYS.DISABLE is that it will
   block other SEAMCALLs once it gets going. So this contention will be
   short lived.

So loop infinitely on either of these error codes, until success or other
error.

An error is printed if the SEAMCALL fails with anything other than the
error codes that cause retries, or 'synthesized' error codes produced
for #GP or #UD. e.g., an old module that has been properly initialized,
that doesn't implement SYS_DISABLE, returns TDX_OPERAND_INVALID. This
prints:

  virt/tdx: TDH.SYS.DISABLE failed: 0xc000010000000000

But a system that doesn't have any TDX support at all doesn't print
anything.

597bdf6e06 x86/virt/tdx: Pull kexec cache flush logic into arch/x86
KVM tries to take care of some required cache flushing earlier in the
kexec path in order to be kind to some long standing races that can occur
later in the operation. Until recently, VMXOFF was handled within KVM.
Since VMX being enabled is required to make a SEAMCALL, it had the best
per-cpu scoped operation to plug the flushing into. So it is kicked off
from there.

This early kexec cache flushing in KVM happens via a syscore shutdown
callback. Now that VMX enablement control has moved to arch/x86, which has
grown its own syscore shutdown callback, it no longer make sense for it to
live in KVM. It fits better with the TDX enablement managing code.

In addition, future changes will add a SEAMCALL that happens immediately
before VMXOFF, which means the cache flush in KVM will be too late to
flush the cache before the last SEAMCALL. So move it to the newly added TDX
arch/x86 syscore shutdown handler.

Since tdx_cpu_flush_cache_for_kexec() is no longer needed by KVM, make it
static and remove the export. Since it is also not part of an operation
spread across disparate components, remove the redundant comments and
verbose naming.

In the existing KVM based code, CPU offline also funnels through
tdx_cpu_flush_cache_for_kexec(). Add an explicit WBINVD in
tdx_offline_cpu() as well, even though it may be redundant with WBINVD
done elsewhere during CPU offline (e.g. hlt_play_dead()). This avoids
relying on fragile code ordering for cache coherency safety.

Linus Torvalds
01f492e181 Arm:
- Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code, which
   should help both debugging and performance analysis.  This uses the
   new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed
   by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came through the
   tracing tree.
 
 - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the starting
   point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM.
 
 - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are unmapped
   from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can be shared back
   from the guest using pKVM hypercalls.  Protected guests are created
   using a new machine type identifier.  As the elusive guestmem has not
   yet delivered on its promises, anonymous memory is also supported.
 
   This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
   example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet isolated.
   Because this does not really yet bring fully what it promises, it is
   hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST + 'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and
   also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is created.  Caveat emptor.
 
 - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
   maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
   various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state immutable.
 
 - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page tables
   on a per-VM basis.
 
 - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to follow.
 
 - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
   generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
   to very bad HW lockups.
 
 - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error cases.
 
 - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
   SMCCC calls.
 
 - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn.
 
 LoongArch:
 
 - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel().
 
 - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support.

 - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks
 
 - Fix vector context allocation leak

 - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed anymore with
   the new gmap code.
 
 - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking event
   address register).
 
 x86:
 
 - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before they
   were initialized.
 
 - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting hugepages in
   the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in the page table and
   thus write all bytes.
 
 - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings if the
   target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage.
 
 x86 generic:
 
 - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more precisely
   struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack bugs where KVM
   would dereference stack pointer after an exit to userspace.
 
 - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it easier to
   maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier").
 
 - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of VMX
   and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O.
 
 - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions
 
 - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one of
   KVM's headers that is included multiple times.
 
 - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
   exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
   trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
   unintentionally crashing the VM.
 
 - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec.
 
 - Misc hardening and cleanup changes.
 
 x86 (AMD):
 
 - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it per-vCPU
   so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
   vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs.
 
 - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which KVM would
   overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel.
   This should not be a problem because OSVW should usually be the same for
   all CPUs.
 
 - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a
   "too large" size based purely on user input.
 
 - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION.
 
 - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as
   doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an RMP violation
   page fault.
 
 - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries
   are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep.  Fix various
   bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for the whole
   duration of a function or ioctl.
 
 - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard().
 
 - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD,
   for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6 as a response to ioctls such as
   KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the payload would end up in EXITINFO2
   rather than CR2, for example).  Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of
   the payload is imminent, but on the other hand force delivery of the
   payload in all paths where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6.
 
 - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT instead
   of vmcb02->save.cr2.  The value is out of sync after a save/restore
   or after a #PF is injected into L2.
 
 - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are not
   synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so are not
   up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE.
 
 - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE and
   KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly initialized after
   save+restore.
 
 - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks.
 
 - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields on
   nested #VMEXIT.
 
 - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or #GP for
   SVM-related instructions.
 
 - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM).
 
 - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and (hopefully)
   make the code easier to maintain.
 
 - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard against
   unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined features.
 
 - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when emulating SVM
   instructions.  There are remaining issues in that KVM doesn't handle size
   prefix overrides for 64-bit guests.
 
 - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails instead of
   somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double down on AMD's
   architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP for "unsupported"
   addresses).
 
 - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs.
 
 x86 (Intel):
 
 - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros.
 
 - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
   register input when appropriate.
 
 - Code cleanups.
 
 guest_memfd:
 
 - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't support
   reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage to write
   back to.
 
 LoongArch selftests:
 
 - Add KVM PMU test cases
 
 s390 selftests:
 
 - Enable more memory selftests.
 
 x86 selftests:
 
 - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests.
 
 - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on AMD/Hygon
   CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP.
 
 - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test for a
   bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd folios against
   KVM's will.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Arm:

   - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
     which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This
     uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be
     exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came
     through the tracing tree

   - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
     starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM

   - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are
     unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can
     be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected
     guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the
     elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous
     memory is also supported

     This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
     example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet
     isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it
     promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST +
     'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is
     created. Caveat emptor

   - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
     maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
     various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state
     immutable

   - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page
     tables on a per-VM basis

   - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to
     follow

   - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
     generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
     to very bad HW lockups

   - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
     cases

   - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
     SMCCC calls

   - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn

  LoongArch:

   - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()

   - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support

  RISC-V:

   - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks

   - Fix vector context allocation leak

   - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()

   - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()

   - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()

   - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()

   - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging

   - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging

   - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core

   - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests

   - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources

   - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config

   - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources

   - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space

  s390:

   - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors

   - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed
     anymore with the new gmap code

   - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking
     event address register)

  x86:

   - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before
     they were initialized

   - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting
     hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in
     the page table and thus write all bytes

   - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings
     if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage

  x86 generic:

   - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more
     precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack
     bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to
     userspace

   - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it
     easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier")

   - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of
     VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O

   - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions

   - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one
     of KVM's headers that is included multiple times

   - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
     exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
     trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
     unintentionally crashing the VM

   - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec

   - Misc hardening and cleanup changes

  x86 (AMD):

   - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it
     per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
     vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs

   - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which
     KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple
     CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should
     usually be the same for all CPUs

   - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains
     about a "too large" size based purely on user input

   - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION

   - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted
     vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an
     RMP violation page fault

   - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped
     queries are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep.
     Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for
     the whole duration of a function or ioctl

   - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard()

   - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable
     KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6
     as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the
     payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example).
     Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent,
     but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths
     where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6

   - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT
     instead of vmcb02->save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a
     save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2

   - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are
     not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so
     are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE

   - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
     and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly
     initialized after save+restore

   - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields
     on nested #VMEXIT

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or
     #GP for SVM-related instructions

   - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM)

   - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and
     (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain

   - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard
     against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined
     features

   - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when
     emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM
     doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests

   - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails
     instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double
     down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP
     for "unsupported" addresses)

   - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs

  x86 (Intel):

   - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros

   - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
     register input when appropriate

   - Code cleanups

  guest_memfd:

   - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't
     support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage
     to write back to

  LoongArch selftests:

   - Add KVM PMU test cases

  s390 selftests:

   - Enable more memory selftests

  x86 selftests:

   - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests

   - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on
     AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP

   - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test
     for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd
     folios against KVM's will"

eac90a5ba0 x86/virt/tdx: KVM: Consolidate TDX CPU hotplug handling
The core kernel registers a CPU hotplug callback to do VMX and TDX init
and deinit while KVM registers a separate CPU offline callback to block
offlining the last online CPU in a socket.

Splitting TDX-related CPU hotplug handling across two components is odd
and adds unnecessary complexity.

Consolidate TDX-related CPU hotplug handling by integrating KVM's
tdx_offline_cpu() to the one in the core kernel.

Also move nr_configured_hkid to the core kernel because tdx_offline_cpu()
references it. Since HKID allocation and free are handled in the core
kernel, it's more natural to track used HKIDs there.

Now that VMXON can be done without bouncing through KVM, do TDX-Module
initialization during subsys init (specifically before module_init() so
that it runs before KVM when both are built-in).  Aside from the obvious
benefits of separating core TDX code from KVM, this will allow tagging a

0efe5dc161 x86/virt/tdx: Drop the outdated requirement that TDX be enabled in IRQ context
Remove TDX's outdated requirement that per-CPU enabling be done via IPI
function call, which was a stale artifact leftover from early versions of
the TDX enablement series.  The requirement that IRQs be disabled should
have been dropped as part of the revamped series that relied on a the KVM
rework to enable VMX at module load.

In other words, the kernel's "requirement" was never a requirement at all,
but instead a reflection of how KVM enabled VMX (via IPI callback) when
the TDX subsystem code was merged.

Note, accessing per-CPU information is safe even without disabling IRQs,
as tdx_online_cpu() is invoked via a cpuhp callback, i.e. from a per-CPU
thread.

b5425f5406 x86/virt/tdx: Print TDX module version during init
It is useful to print the TDX module version in dmesg logs. This is
currently the only way to determine the module version from the host. It
also creates a record for any future problems being investigated. This
was also requested in [1].

Include the version in the log messages during init, e.g.:

  virt/tdx: TDX module version: 1.5.24
  virt/tdx: 1034220 KB allocated for PAMT
  virt/tdx: module initialized

Print the version in get_tdx_sys_info(), right after the version
metadata is read, which makes it available even if there are subsequent
initialization failures.

311214bf1d x86/virt/tdx: Retrieve TDX module version
Each TDX module has several bits of metadata about which specific TDX
module it is. The primary bit of info is the version, which has an x.y.z
format. These represent the major version, minor version, and update
version respectively. Knowing the running TDX Module version is valuable
for bug reporting and debugging. Note that the module does expose other
pieces of version-related metadata, such as build number and date. Those
aren't retrieved for now, that can be added if needed in the future.

Retrieve the TDX Module version using the existing metadata reading
interface. Later changes will expose this information. The metadata
reading interfaces have existed for quite some time, so this will work
with older versions of the TDX module as well - i.e. this isn't a new
interface.

As a side note, the global metadata reading code was originally set up
to be auto-generated from a JSON definition [1]. However, later [2] this
was found to be unsustainable, and the autogeneration approach was
dropped in favor of just manually adding fields as needed (e.g. as in
this patch).

        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning

e414b10058 x86/virt/tdx: Use precalculated TDVPR page physical address
All of the x86 KVM guest types (VMX, SEV and TDX) do some special context
tracking when entering guests. This means that the actual guest entry
sequence must be noinstr.

Part of entering a TDX guest is passing a physical address to the TDX
module. Right now, that physical address is stored as a 'struct page'
and converted to a physical address at guest entry. That page=>phys
conversion can be complicated, can vary greatly based on kernel
config, and it is definitely _not_ a noinstr path today.

There have been a number of tinkering approaches to try and fix this
up, but they all fall down due to some part of the page=>phys
conversion infrastructure not being noinstr friendly.

Precalculate the page=>phys conversion and store it in the existing
'tdx_vp' structure.  Use the new field at every site that needs a
tdvpr physical address. Remove the now redundant tdx_tdvpr_pa().
Remove the __flatten remnant from the tinkering.

Note that only one user of the new field is actually noinstr. All
others can use page_to_phys(). But, they might as well save the effort
since there is a pre-calculated value sitting there for them.

61221d07e8 KVM/TDX: Explicitly do WBINVD when no more TDX SEAMCALLs
On TDX platforms, during kexec, the kernel needs to make sure there
are no dirty cachelines of TDX private memory before booting to the new
kernel to avoid silent memory corruption to the new kernel.

To do this, the kernel has a percpu boolean to indicate whether the
cache of a CPU may be in incoherent state.  During kexec, namely in
stop_this_cpu(), the kernel does WBINVD if that percpu boolean is true.
TDX turns on that percpu boolean on a CPU when the kernel does SEAMCALL,
Thus making sure the cache will be flushed during kexec.

However, kexec has a race condition that, while remaining extremely rare,
would be more likely in the presence of a relatively long operation such
as WBINVD.

In particular, the kexec-ing CPU invokes native_stop_other_cpus()
to stop all remote CPUs before booting to the new kernel.
native_stop_other_cpus() then sends a REBOOT vector IPI to remote CPUs
and waits for them to stop; if that times out, it also sends NMIs to the
still-alive CPUs and waits again for them to stop.  If the race happens,
kexec proceeds before all CPUs have processed the NMI and stopped[1],
and the system hangs.

But after tdx_disable_virtualization_cpu(), no more TDX activity
can happen on this cpu.  When kexec is enabled, flush the cache
explicitly at that point; this moves the WBINVD to an earlier stage than
stop_this_cpus(), avoiding a possibly lengthy operation at a time where

10df8607bf x86/virt/tdx: Mark memory cache state incoherent when making SEAMCALL
On TDX platforms, dirty cacheline aliases with and without encryption
bits can coexist, and the cpu can flush them back to memory in random
order.  During kexec, the caches must be flushed before jumping to the
new kernel otherwise the dirty cachelines could silently corrupt the
memory used by the new kernel due to different encryption property.

A percpu boolean is used to mark whether the cache of a given CPU may be
in an incoherent state, and the kexec performs WBINVD on the CPUs with
that boolean turned on.

For TDX, only the TDX module or the TDX guests can generate dirty
cachelines of TDX private memory, i.e., they are only generated when the
kernel does a SEAMCALL.

Set that boolean when the kernel does SEAMCALL so that kexec can flush
the cache correctly.

The kernel provides both the __seamcall*() assembly functions and the
seamcall*() wrapper ones which additionally handle running out of
entropy error in a loop.  Most of the SEAMCALLs are called using the
seamcall*(), except TDH.VP.ENTER and TDH.PHYMEM.PAGE.RDMD which are
called using __seamcall*() variant directly.

To cover the two special cases, add a new __seamcall_dirty_cache()
helper which only sets the percpu boolean and calls the __seamcall*(),
and change the special cases to use the new helper.  To cover all other
SEAMCALLs, change seamcall*() to call the new helper.

For the SEAMCALLs invoked via seamcall*(), they can be made from both
task context and IRQ disabled context.  Given SEAMCALL is just a lengthy
instruction (e.g., thousands of cycles) from kernel's point of view and
preempt_{disable|enable}() is cheap compared to it, just unconditionally
disable preemption during setting the boolean and making SEAMCALL.

01fb93a363 x86/tdx: Skip clearing reclaimed pages unless X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE is present
Avoid clearing reclaimed TDX private pages unless the platform is affected
by the X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE erratum. This significantly reduces VM shutdown
time on unaffected systems.

Background

KVM currently clears reclaimed TDX private pages using MOVDIR64B, which:

   - Clears the TD Owner bit (which identifies TDX private memory) and
     integrity metadata without triggering integrity violations.
   - Clears poison from cache lines without consuming it, avoiding MCEs on
     access (refer TDX Module Base spec. 1348549-006US section 6.5.
     Handling Machine Check Events during Guest TD Operation).

The TDX module also uses MOVDIR64B to initialize private pages before use.
If cache flushing is needed, it sets TDX_FEATURES.CLFLUSH_BEFORE_ALLOC.
However, KVM currently flushes unconditionally, refer commit 94c477a751
("x86/virt/tdx: Add SEAMCALL wrappers to add TD private pages")

In contrast, when private pages are reclaimed, the TDX Module handles
flushing via the TDH.PHYMEM.CACHE.WB SEAMCALL.

Problem

Clearing all private pages during VM shutdown is costly. For guests
with a large amount of memory it can take minutes.

Solution

TDX Module Base Architecture spec. documents that private pages reclaimed
from a TD should be initialized using MOVDIR64B, in order to avoid
integrity violation or TD bit mismatch detection when later being read
using a shared HKID, refer April 2025 spec. "Page Initialization" in
section "8.6.2. Platforms not Using ACT: Required Cache Flush and
Initialization by the Host VMM"

That is an overstatement and will be clarified in coming versions of the
spec. In fact, as outlined in "Table 16.2: Non-ACT Platforms Checks on
Memory" and "Table 16.3: Non-ACT Platforms Checks on Memory Reads in Li
Mode" in the same spec, there is no issue accessing such reclaimed pages
using a shared key that does not have integrity enabled. Linux always uses
KeyID 0 which never has integrity enabled. KeyID 0 is also the TME KeyID
which disallows integrity, refer "TME Policy/Encryption Algorithm" bit
description in "Intel Architecture Memory Encryption Technologies" spec
version 1.6 April 2025. So there is no need to clear pages to avoid
integrity violations.

There remains a risk of poison consumption. However, in the context of
TDX, it is expected that there would be a machine check associated with the
original poisoning. On some platforms that results in a panic. However
platforms may support "SEAM_NR" Machine Check capability, in which case
Linux machine check handler marks the page as poisoned, which prevents it
from being allocated anymore, refer commit 7911f145de ("x86/mce:
Implement recovery for errors in TDX/SEAM non-root mode")

Improvement

By skipping the clearing step on unaffected platforms, shutdown time
can improve by up to 40%.

On platforms with the X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE erratum (SPR and EMR), continue
clearing because these platforms may trigger poison on partial writes to
previously-private pages, even with KeyID 0, refer commit 1e536e1068
("x86/cpu: Detect TDX partial write machine check erratum")

a27b008a5d x86/tdx: Tidy reset_pamt functions
tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() was renamed to reflect that, in fact, the clearing
is necessary only for hardware with a certain quirk.  That is dealt with in
a subsequent patch.

Rename reset_pamt functions to contain "quirk" to reflect the new
functionality, and remove the now misleading comment.

94272b084a x86/tdx: Eliminate duplicate code in tdx_clear_page()
tdx_clear_page() and reset_tdx_pages() duplicate the TDX page clearing
logic.  Rename reset_tdx_pages() to tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() and create
tdx_quirk_reset_page() to call tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() and be used in
place of tdx_clear_page().

The new name reflects that, in fact, the clearing is necessary only for
hardware with a certain quirk.  That is dealt with in a subsequent patch
but doing the rename here avoids additional churn.

Note reset_tdx_pages() is slightly different from tdx_clear_page() because,
more appropriately, it uses mb() in place of __mb().  Except when extra
debugging is enabled (kcsan at present), mb() just calls __mb().

0b3bc018e8 x86/virt/tdx: Avoid indirect calls to TDX assembly functions
Two 'static inline' TDX helper functions (sc_retry() and
sc_retry_prerr()) take function pointer arguments which refer to
assembly functions.  Normally, the compiler inlines the TDX helper,
realizes that the function pointer targets are completely static --
thus can be resolved at compile time -- and generates direct call
instructions.

But, other times (like when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y), the
compiler declines to inline the helpers and will instead generate
indirect call instructions.

Indirect calls to assembly functions require special annotation (for
various Control Flow Integrity mechanisms).  But TDX assembly
functions lack the special annotations and can only be called
directly.

Annotate both the helpers as '__always_inline' to prod the compiler
into maintaining the direct calls. There is no guarantee here, but
Peter has volunteered to report the compiler bug if this assumption
ever breaks[1].

e9f17038d8 x86/tdx: mark tdh_vp_enter() as __flatten
In some cases tdx_tdvpr_pa() is not fully inlined into tdh_vp_enter(), which
causes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: tdh_vp_enter+0x8: call to tdx_tdvpr_pa() leaves .noinstr.text section

This happens if the compiler considers tdx_tdvpr_pa() to be "large", for example
because CONFIG_SPARSEMEM adds two function calls to page_to_section() and
__section_mem_map_addr():

({      const struct page *__pg = (pg);                         \
        int __sec = page_to_section(__pg);                      \
        (unsigned long)(__pg - __section_mem_map_addr(__nr_to_section(__sec)));
\
})

Because exiting the noinstr section is a no-no, just mark tdh_vp_enter() for
full inlining.
