MSR filtering requires an exit to userspace that is hard to implement and
would be very slow in the case of nested VMX vmexit and vmentry MSR
accesses. Document the limitation.

It isn't OK to cache the dirty status of a page in internal structures
for an indefinite period of time.
Any time a vCPU exits the run loop to userspace might be its last; the
VMM might do its final check of the dirty log, flush the last remaining
dirty pages to the destination and complete a live migration. If we
have internal 'dirty' state which doesn't get flushed until the vCPU
is finally destroyed on the source after migration is complete, then
we have lost data because that will escape the final copy.
This problem already exists with the use of kvm_vcpu_unmap() to mark
pages dirty in e.g. VMX nesting.
Note that the actual Linux MM already considers the page to be dirty
since we have a writeable mapping of it. This is just about the KVM
dirty logging.
For the nesting-style use cases (KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN) we will need to
track which gfn_to_pfn_caches have been used and explicitly mark the
corresponding pages dirty before returning to userspace. But we would
have needed external tracking of that anyway, rather than walking the
full list of GPCs to find those belonging to this vCPU which are dirty.
So let's rely *solely* on that external tracking, and keep it simple
rather than laying a tempting trap for callers to fall into.

KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS is irrevocably broken. The capability does not
advertise the set of quirks which may be disabled to userspace, so it is
impossible to predict the behavior of KVM. Worse yet,
KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS will tolerate any value for cap->args[0], meaning
it fails to reject attempts to set invalid quirk bits.
The only valid workaround for the quirky quirks API is to add a new CAP.
Actually advertise the set of quirks that can be disabled to userspace
so it can predict KVM's behavior. Reject values for cap->args[0] that
contain invalid bits.
Finally, add documentation for the new capability and describe the
existing quirks.

KVM support for 32-bit ARM hosts (KVM/arm) has been removed from the
kernel since commit 541ad0150ca4 ("arm: Remove 32bit KVM host
support"). There still exists some remnants of the old architecture in
the KVM documentation.
Remove all traces of 32-bit host support from the documentation. Note
that AArch32 guests are still supported.

Add a new capability, KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY, that takes a bitmask of
settings/features to allow userspace to configure PMU virtualization on
a per-VM basis. For now, support a single flag, KVM_PMU_CAP_DISABLE,
to allow disabling PMU virtualization for a VM even when KVM is configured
with enable_pmu=true a module level.
To keep KVM simple, disallow changing VM's PMU configuration after vCPUs
have been created.

Add KVM_CAP_PPC_AIL_MODE_3 to advertise the capability to set the AIL
resource mode to 3 with the H_SET_MODE hypercall. This capability
differs between processor types and KVM types (PR, HV, Nested HV), and
affects guest-visible behaviour.
QEMU will implement a cap-ail-mode-3 to control this behaviour[1], and
use the KVM CAP if available to determine KVM support[2].

When handling reset and power-off PSCI calls from the guest, we
initialise X0 to PSCI_RET_INTERNAL_FAILURE in case the VMM tries to
re-run the vCPU after issuing the call.
Unfortunately, this also means that the VMM cannot see which PSCI call
was issued and therefore cannot distinguish between PSCI SYSTEM_RESET
and SYSTEM_RESET2 calls, which is necessary in order to determine the
validity of the "reset_type" in X1.
Allocate bit 0 of the previously unused 'flags' field of the
system_event structure so that we can indicate the PSCI call used to
initiate the reset.

Because KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID is meant to be passed (by simple-minded
VMMs) to KVM_SET_CPUID2, it cannot include any dynamic xsave states that
have not been enabled. Probing those, for example so that they can be
passed to ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM, requires a new ioctl or arch_prctl.
The latter is in fact worse, even though that is what the rest of the
API uses, because it would require supported_xcr0 to be moved from the
KVM module to the kernel just for this use. In addition, the value
would be nonsensical (or an error would have to be returned) until
the KVM module is loaded in.
Therefore, to limit the growth of system ioctls, add a /dev/kvm
variant of KVM_{GET,HAS}_DEVICE_ATTR, and implement it in x86
with just one group (0) and attribute (KVM_X86_XCOMP_GUEST_SUPP).

With KVM_CAP_XSAVE, userspace uses a hardcoded 4KB buffer to get/set
xstate data from/to KVM. This doesn't work when dynamic xfeatures
(e.g. AMX) are exposed to the guest as they require a larger buffer
size.
Introduce a new capability (KVM_CAP_XSAVE2). Userspace VMM gets the
required xstate buffer size via KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_XSAVE2).
KVM_SET_XSAVE is extended to work with both legacy and new capabilities
by doing properly-sized memdup_user() based on the guest fpu container.
KVM_GET_XSAVE is kept for backward-compatible reason. Instead,
KVM_GET_XSAVE2 is introduced under KVM_CAP_XSAVE2 as the preferred
interface for getting xstate buffer (4KB or larger size) from KVM
(Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/12/15/510)
Also, update the api doc with the new KVM_GET_XSAVE2 ioctl.

KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID should not include any dynamic xstates in
CPUID[0xD] if they have not been requested with prctl. Otherwise
a process which directly passes KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to
KVM_SET_CPUID2 would now fail even if it doesn't intend to use a
dynamically enabled feature. Userspace must know that prctl is
required and allocate >4K xstate buffer before setting any dynamic
bit.

This adds basic support for delivering 2 level event channels to a guest.
Initially, it only supports delivery via the IRQ routing table, triggered
by an eventfd. In order to do so, it has a kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast()
function which will use the pre-mapped shared_info page if it already
exists and is still valid, while the slow path through the irqfd_inject
workqueue will remap the shared_info page if necessary.
It sets the bits in the shared_info page but not the vcpu_info; that is
deferred to __kvm_xen_has_interrupt() which raises the vector to the
appropriate vCPU.
Add a 'verbose' mode to xen_shinfo_test while adding test cases for this.

Use the newly reinstated gfn_to_pfn_cache to maintain a kernel mapping
of the Xen shared_info page so that it can be accessed in atomic context.
Note that we do not participate in dirty tracking for the shared info
page and we do not explicitly mark it dirty every single tim we deliver
an event channel interrupts. We wouldn't want to do that even if we *did*
have a valid vCPU context with which to do so.

Handling the migration of TSCs correctly is difficult, in part because
Linux does not provide userspace with the ability to retrieve a (TSC,
realtime) clock pair for a single instant in time. In lieu of a more
convenient facility, KVM can report similar information in the kvm_clock
structure.
Provide userspace with a host TSC & realtime pair iff the realtime clock
is based on the TSC. If userspace provides KVM_SET_CLOCK with a valid
realtime value, advance the KVM clock by the amount of elapsed time. Do
not step the KVM clock backwards, though, as it is a monotonic
oscillator.

KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ will allow KVM to block all interrupts
while running.
This change is mostly intended for more robust single stepping
of the guest and it has the following benefits when enabled:
* Resuming from a breakpoint is much more reliable.
When resuming execution from a breakpoint, with interrupts enabled,
more often than not, KVM would inject an interrupt and make the CPU
jump immediately to the interrupt handler and eventually return to
the breakpoint, to trigger it again.
From the user point of view it looks like the CPU never executed a
single instruction and in some cases that can even prevent forward
progress, for example, when the breakpoint is placed by an automated
script (e.g lx-symbols), which does something in response to the
breakpoint and then continues the guest automatically.
If the script execution takes enough time for another interrupt to
arrive, the guest will be stuck on the same breakpoint RIP forever.
* Normal single stepping is much more predictable, since it won't
land the debugger into an interrupt handler.
* RFLAGS.TF has less chance to be leaked to the guest:
We set that flag behind the guest's back to do single stepping
but if single step lands us into an interrupt/exception handler
it will be leaked to the guest in the form of being pushed
to the stack.
This doesn't completely eliminate this problem as exceptions
can still happen, but at least this reduces the chances
of this happening.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This was a reasonably active cycle for documentation; this includes:
- Some kernel-doc cleanups. That script is still regex onslaught from
hell, but it has gotten a little better.
- Improvements to the checkpatch docs, which are also used by the
tool itself.
- A major update to the pathname lookup documentation.
- Elimination of :doc: markup, since our automarkup magic can create
references from filenames without all the extra noise.
- The flurry of Chinese translation activity continues.
Plus, of course, the usual collection of updates, typo fixes, and
warning fixes"

Add a fallback mechanism to the in-kernel instruction emulator that
allows userspace the opportunity to process an instruction the emulator
was unable to. When the in-kernel instruction emulator fails to process
an instruction it will either inject a #UD into the guest or exit to
userspace with exit reason KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR. This is because it does
not know how to proceed in an appropriate manner. This feature lets
userspace get involved to see if it can figure out a better path
forward.

Warn userspace that KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN "may" cause guest
instability. Initialize last_vmentry_cpu to -1 and use it to detect if
the vCPU has been run at least once when its CPUID model is changed.
KVM does not correctly handle changes to paging related settings in the
guest's vCPU model after KVM_RUN, e.g. MAXPHYADDR, GBPAGES, etc... KVM
could theoretically zap all shadow pages, but actually making that happen
is a mess due to lock inversion (vcpu->mutex is held). And even then,
updating paging settings on the fly would only work if all vCPUs are
stopped, updated in concert with identical settings, then restarted.
To support running vCPUs with different vCPU models (that affect paging),
KVM would need to track all relevant information in kvm_mmu_page_role.
Note, that's the _page_ role, not the full mmu_role. Updating mmu_role
isn't sufficient as a vCPU can reuse a shadow page translation that was
created by a vCPU with different settings and thus completely skip the
reserved bit checks (that are tied to CPUID).
Tracking CPUID state in kvm_mmu_page_role is _extremely_ undesirable as
it would require doubling gfn_track from a u16 to a u32, i.e. would
increase KVM's memory footprint by 2 bytes for every 4kb of guest memory.
E.g. MAXPHYADDR (6 bits), GBPAGES, AMD vs. INTEL = 1 bit, and SEV C-BIT
would all need to be tracked.
In practice, there is no remotely sane use case for changing any paging
related CPUID entries on the fly, so just sweep it under the rug (after
yelling at userspace).

This new API provides a file descriptor for every VM and VCPU to read
KVM statistics data in binary format.
It is meant to provide a lightweight, flexible, scalable and efficient
lock-free solution for user space telemetry applications to pull the
statistics data periodically for large scale systems. The pulling
frequency could be as high as a few times per second.
The statistics descriptors are defined by KVM in kernel and can be
by userspace to discover VM/VCPU statistics during the one-time setup
stage.
The statistics data itself could be read out by userspace telemetry
periodically without any extra parsing or setup effort.
There are a few existed interface protocols and definitions, but no
one can fulfil all the requirements this interface implemented as
below:
1. During high frequency periodic stats reading, there should be no
extra efforts except the stats data read itself.
2. Support stats annotation, like type (cumulative, instantaneous,
peak, histogram, etc) and unit (counter, time, size, cycles, etc).
3. The stats data reading should be free of lock/synchronization. We
don't care about the consistency between all the stats data. All
stats data can not be read out at exactly the same time. We really
care about the change or trend of the stats data. The lock-free
solution is not just for efficiency and scalability, also for the
stats data accuracy and usability. For example, in the situation
that all the stats data readings are protected by a global lock,
if one VCPU died somehow with that lock held, then all stats data
reading would be blocked, then we have no way from stats data that
which VCPU has died.
4. The stats data reading workload can be handed over to other
unprivileged process.

A new capability (KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE) identifies that the kernel supports
granting a guest access to the tags, and provides a mechanism for the
VMM to enable it.
A new ioctl (KVM_ARM_MTE_COPY_TAGS) provides a simple way for a VMM to
access the tags of a guest without having to maintain a PROT_MTE mapping
in userspace. The above capability gates access to the ioctl.

This hypercall is used by the SEV guest to notify a change in the page
encryption status to the hypervisor. The hypercall should be invoked
only when the encryption attribute is changed from encrypted -> decrypted
and vice versa. By default all guest pages are considered encrypted.
The hypercall exits to userspace to manage the guest shared regions and
integrate with the userspace VMM's migration code.
