Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Quite a large pull request, partly due to skipping last week and
therefore having material from ~all submaintainers in this one. About
a fourth of it is a new selftest, and a couple more changes are large
in number of files touched (fixing a -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end
compiler warning) or lines changed (reformatting of a table in the API
documentation, thanks rST).
But who am I kidding---it's a lot of commits and there are a lot of
bugs being fixed here, some of them on the nastier side like the
RISC-V ones.
ARM:
- Correctly handle deactivation of interrupts that were activated
from LRs. Since EOIcount only denotes deactivation of interrupts
that are not present in an LR, start EOIcount deactivation walk
*after* the last irq that made it into an LR
- Avoid calling into the stubs to probe for ICH_VTR_EL2.TDS when pKVM
is already enabled -- not only thhis isn't possible (pKVM will
reject the call), but it is also useless: this can only happen for
a CPU that has already booted once, and the capability will not
change
- Fix a couple of low-severity bugs in our S2 fault handling path,
affecting the recently introduced LS64 handling and the even more
esoteric handling of hwpoison in a nested context
- Address yet another syzkaller finding in the vgic initialisation,
where we would end-up destroying an uninitialised vgic with nasty
consequences
- Address an annoying case of pKVM failing to boot when some of the
memblock regions that the host is faulting in are not page-aligned
- Inject some sanity in the NV stage-2 walker by checking the limits
against the advertised PA size, and correctly report the resulting
faults
PPC:
- Fix a PPC e500 build error due to a long-standing wart that was
exposed by the recent conversion to kmalloc_obj(); rip out all the
ugliness that led to the wart
RISC-V:
- Prevent speculative out-of-bounds access using array_index_nospec()
in APLIC interrupt handling, ONE_REG regiser access, AIA CSR
access, float register access, and PMU counter access
- Fix potential use-after-free issues in kvm_riscv_gstage_get_leaf(),
kvm_riscv_aia_aplic_has_attr(), and kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr()
- Fix potential null pointer dereference in
kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_rmw_topei()
- Fix off-by-one array access in SBI PMU
- Skip THP support check during dirty logging
- Fix error code returned for Smstateen and Ssaia ONE_REG interface
- Check host Ssaia extension when creating AIA irqchip
x86:
- Fix cases where CPUID mitigation features were incorrectly marked
as available whenever the kernel used scattered feature words for
them
- Validate _all_ GVAs, rather than just the first GVA, when
processing a range of GVAs for Hyper-V's TLB flush hypercalls
- Fix a brown paper bug in add_atomic_switch_msr()
- Use hlist_for_each_entry_srcu() when traversing mask_notifier_list,
to fix a lockdep warning; KVM doesn't hold RCU, just irq_srcu
- Ensure AVIC VMCB fields are initialized if the VM has an in-kernel
local APIC (and AVIC is enabled at the module level)
- Update CR8 write interception when AVIC is (de)activated, to fix a
bug where the guest can run in perpetuity with the CR8 intercept
enabled
- Add a quirk to skip the consistency check on FREEZE_IN_SMM, i.e. to
allow L1 hypervisors to set FREEZE_IN_SMM. This reverts (by
default) an unintentional tightening of userspace ABI in 6.17, and
provides some amount of backwards compatibility with hypervisors
who want to freeze PMCs on VM-Entry
- Validate the VMCS/VMCB on return to a nested guest from SMM,
because either userspace or the guest could stash invalid values in
memory and trigger the processor's consistency checks
Generic:
- Remove a subtle pseudo-overlay of kvm_stats_desc, which, aside from
being unnecessary and confusing, triggered compiler warnings due to
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end
- Document that vcpu->mutex is take outside of kvm->slots_lock and
kvm->slots_arch_lock, which is intentional and desirable despite
being rather unintuitive
Selftests:
- Increase the maximum number of NUMA nodes in the guest_memfd
selftest to 64 (from 8)"
