Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"More x86 fixes:
- Fix a WARN if the SS bit is set in #NPF exit codes.
The AMD manual is unclear about whether it can be set when the
guest uses CET but the SupervisorShadowStackEn feature (which KVM
does not use) is disabled. However, Hyper-V has started using CET
now that KVM supports GMET (it wants the two feature in pairs), and
that dissolves all the doubts: the SS bit *is* reported and not
clearing it causes a WARN and/or a UBSAN splat.
- If creating a vCPU ultimately fails, clear its entry in the AVIC
Physical ID table used by hardware to perform IPI Virtualization
and delivered posted IRQs.
I.e. plug the same use-after-free hole related to IPI
virtualization and posted IRQs that was fixed for APICv by commit
b41f2ca6c0601 ("KVM: VMX: Fix stale PID-pointer table entry left
after vCPU free").
- Use set_page_dirty_lock() instead of set_page_dirty() when marking
a page dirty after writing back SNP firmware's desired CPUID state
to userspace.
Using set_page_dirty() is unsafe if the page/folio isn't locked (as
pointed out by its function comment's big DANGER warning, which no
one reads given the number of bugs of this exact nature).
- When checking for an MMIO generation match, use the memslots for
the current vCPU context (non-SMM vs. SMM), as a misbehaving guest
can coerce KVM into incorrectly identifying a write as MMIO in
order to bypass KVM's write-tracking"
