<title>KVM: x86: Disallow read-only memslots for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP (and TDX)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:66155de93bcf4f2967e602a4b3bf7ebe58f34b11</id>
<content type='text'>
Disallow read-only memslots for SEV-{ES,SNP} VM types, as KVM can't
directly emulate instructions for ES/SNP, and instead the guest must
explicitly request emulation.  Unless the guest explicitly requests
emulation without accessing memory, ES/SNP relies on KVM creating an MMIO
SPTE, with the subsequent #NPF being reflected into the guest as a #VC.

But for read-only memslots, KVM deliberately doesn't create MMIO SPTEs,
because except for ES/SNP, doing so requires setting reserved bits in the
SPTE, i.e. the SPTE can't be readable while also generating a #VC on
writes.  Because KVM never creates MMIO SPTEs and jumps directly to
emulation, the guest never gets a #VC.  And since KVM simply resumes the
guest if ES/SNP guests trigger emulation, KVM effectively puts the vCPU
into an infinite #NPF loop if the vCPU attempts to write read-only memory.

Disallow read-only memory for all VMs with protected state, i.e. for
upcoming TDX VMs as well as ES/SNP VMs.  For TDX, it's actually possible
to support read-only memory, as TDX uses EPT Violation #VE to reflect the
fault into the guest, e.g. KVM could configure read-only SPTEs with RX
protections and SUPPRESS_VE=0.  But there is no strong use case for
supporting read-only memslots on TDX, e.g. the main historical usage is
to emulate option ROMs, but TDX disallows executing from shared memory.
And if someone comes along with a legitimate, strong use case, the
restriction can always be lifted for TDX.

Don't bother trying to retroactively apply the restriction to SEV-ES
VMs that are created as type KVM_X86_DEFAULT_VM.  Read-only memslots can't
possibly work for SEV-ES, i.e. disallowing such memslots is really just
means reporting an error to userspace instead of silently hanging vCPUs.
Trying to deal with the ordering between KVM_SEV_INIT and memslot creation
isn't worth the marginal benefit it would provide userspace.

<title>x86/paravirt: Fix incorrect virt spinlock setting on bare metal</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e639222a51196c69c70b49b67098ce2f9919ed08</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel can change spinlock behavior when running as a guest. But this
guest-friendly behavior causes performance problems on bare metal.

The kernel uses a static key to switch between the two modes.

In theory, the static key is enabled by default (run in guest mode) and
should be disabled for bare metal (and in some guests that want native
behavior or paravirt spinlock).

A performance drop is reported when running encode/decode workload and
BenchSEE cache sub-workload.

Bisect points to commit ce0a1b608bfc ("x86/paravirt: Silence unused
native_pv_lock_init() function warning"). When CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS is
disabled the virt_spin_lock_key is incorrectly set to true on bare
metal. The qspinlock degenerates to test-and-set spinlock, which decreases
the performance on bare metal.

Set the default value of virt_spin_lock_key to false. If booting in a VM,
enable this key. Later during the VM initialization, if other
high-efficient spinlock is preferred (e.g. paravirt-spinlock), or the user
wants the native qspinlock (via nopvspin boot commandline), the
virt_spin_lock_key is disabled accordingly.

This results in the following decision matrix:

X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR         Y    Y       Y     N
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS      Y    Y       N     Y/N
PV spinlock                    Y    N       N     Y/N

virt_spin_lock_key             N    Y/N     Y     N

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Prevent a deadlock on cpu_hotplug_lock in the aperf/mperf driver.

   A recent change in the ACPI code which consolidated code pathes moved
   the invocation of init_freq_invariance_cppc() to be moved to a CPU
   hotplug handler. The first invocation on AMD CPUs ends up enabling a
   static branch which dead locks because the static branch enable tries
   to acquire cpu_hotplug_lock but that lock is already held write by
   the hotplug machinery.

   Use static_branch_enable_cpuslocked() instead and take the hotplug
   lock read for the Intel code path which is invoked from the
   architecture code outside of the CPU hotplug operations.

 - Fix the number of reserved bits in the sev_config structure bit field
   so that the bitfield does not exceed 64 bit.

 - Add missing Zen5 model numbers

 - Fix the alignment assumptions of pti_clone_pgtable() and
   clone_entry_text() on 32-bit:

   The code assumes PMD aligned code sections, but on 32-bit the kernel
   entry text is not PMD aligned. So depending on the code size and
   location, which is configuration and compiler dependent, entry text
   can cross a PMD boundary. As the start is not PMD aligned adding PMD
   size to the start address is larger than the end address which
   results in partially mapped entry code for user space. That causes
   endless recursion on the first entry from userspace (usually #PF).

   Cure this by aligning the start address in the addition so it ends up
   at the next PMD start address.

   clone_entry_text() enforces PMD mapping, but on 32-bit the tail might
   eventually be PTE mapped, which causes a map fail because the PMD for
   the tail is not a large page mapping. Use PTI_LEVEL_KERNEL_IMAGE for
   the clone() invocation which resolves to PTE on 32-bit and PMD on
   64-bit.

 - Zero the 8-byte case for get_user() on range check failure on 32-bit

   The recend consolidation of the 8-byte get_user() case broke the
   zeroing in the failure case again. Establish it by clearing ECX
   before the range check and not afterwards as that obvioulsy can't be
   reached when the range check fails

Commit in Fixes was added as a catch-all for cases where the cmdline is
parsed before being merged with the builtin one.

And promptly one issue appeared, see Link below. The microcode loader
really needs to parse it that early, but the merging happens later.

Reshuffling the early boot nightmare^W code to handle that properly would
be a painful exercise for another day so do the chicken thing and parse the
builtin cmdline too before it has been merged.

KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY for an SNP guest can race with
sev_gmem_post_populate() in bad ways. The following sequence for
instance can potentially trigger an RMP fault:

  thread A, sev_gmem_post_populate: called
  thread B, sev_gmem_prepare: places below 'pfn' in a private state in RMP
  thread A, sev_gmem_post_populate: *vaddr = kmap_local_pfn(pfn + i);
  thread A, sev_gmem_post_populate: copy_from_user(vaddr, src + i * PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE);
  RMP #PF

Fix this by only allowing KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY to run after a guest's
initial private memory contents have been finalized via
KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH.

Beyond fixing this issue, it just sort of makes sense to enforce this,
since the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY documentation states:

  "KVM maps memory as if the vCPU generated a stage-2 read page fault"

which sort of implies we should be acting on the same guest state that a
vCPU would see post-launch after the initial guest memory is all set up.

The current usage of memblock_reserve() in init_pvh_bootparams() is done before
the .bss is zeroed, and that used to be fine when
memblock_reserved_init_regions implicitly ended up in the .meminit.data
section.  However after commit 73db3abdca58c memblock_reserved_init_regions
ends up in the .bss section, thus breaking it's usage before the .bss is
cleared.

Move and rename the call to xen_reserve_extra_memory() so it's done in the
x86_init.oem.arch_setup hook, which gets executed after the .bss has been
zeroed, but before calling e820__memory_setup().

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.

  First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
  lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
  enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
  doesn't count as being mlocked.

  Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
  generic manner and hooked into random.c.

  Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
  this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)

  Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.

  There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"

   - Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant
     tracepoint

   - Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to
     consistently act on "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking
     for a specific vendor

   - Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on
     CPUs that support self-snoop

   - Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure

   - Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as
     it reads '0' and writes from userspace are ignored

   - Misc cleanups

  x86 - MMU:

   - Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
     Intel TDX support

   - Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages
     that can't hold leafs SPTEs

   - Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables
     for eager page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting
     huge pages

   - Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE
     that is non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a
     broken state because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's
     all but dangerous to let more MMU changes happen afterwards

  x86 - AMD:

   - Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware

   - Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into
     an instrumentable function from noinstr code

   - Base support for running SEV-SNP guests. API-wise, this includes a
     new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
     guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally,
     there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated
     pages before mapping them into guest private memory ranges

     This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough
     to say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification

     There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing
     keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet
     for the host to provide certificate data for those keys.

     To support fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit
     type will be needed to handle fetching the certificate from
     userspace.

     An attempt to define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO / KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS
     exit type to handle this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but
     is still being discussed by community, so for now this patchset
     only implements a stub version of SNP Extended Guest Requests that
     does not provide certificate data

  x86 - Intel:

   - Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware

   - Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested
     pending posted interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing
     HLT in L2 (with HLT-exiting disable by L1)

   - KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch
     emulation

     Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are
     triggered when emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support
     userspace MMIO during complex (multi-step) emulation

     Silently ignoring the exit request can result in the
     WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu-&gt;mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to userspace
     for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed

     See commit 0dc902267cb3 ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write
     exits if emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's
     limitations with respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator
     flows

  Generic:

   - Rename the AS_UNMOVABLE flag that was introduced for KVM to
     AS_INACCESSIBLE, because the special casing needed by these pages
     is not due to just unmovability (and in fact they are only
     unmovable because the CPU cannot access them)

   - New ioctl to populate the KVM page tables in advance, which is
     useful to mitigate KVM page faults during guest boot or after live
     migration. The code will also be used by TDX, but (probably) not
     through the ioctl

   - Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a
     clear win

   - Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to
     synchronize SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86

   - Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with
     a flag that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and
     sched_out()

   - Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
     truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace
     detect bugs

   - Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in
     the KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus
     writing guest memory when retrieving guest state during live
     migration blackout

  Selftests:

   - Remove dead code in the memslot modification stress test

   - Treat "branch instructions retired" as supported on all AMD Family
     17h+ CPUs

   - Print the guest pseudo-RNG seed only when it changes, to avoid
     spamming the log for tests that create lots of VMs

   - Make the PMU counters test less flaky when counting LLC cache
     misses by doing CLFLUSH{OPT} in every loop iteration"
