kvm: s390: Reject memory region operations for ucontrol VMs

2024-08-03T07:00:14Z

[ Upstream commit 7816e58967d0e6cadce05c8540b47ed027dc2499 ] This change rejects the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION and KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 ioctls when called on a ucontrol VM. This is necessary since ucontrol VMs have kvm->arch.gmap set to 0 and would thus result in a null pointer dereference further in. Memory management needs to be performed in userspace and using the ioctls KVM_S390_UCAS_MAP and KVM_S390_UCAS_UNMAP. Also improve s390 specific documentation for KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION and KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Enable BPF Kernel Functions (kfuncs) in the powerpc BPF JIT. - Allow per-process DEXCR (Dynamic Execution Control Register) settings via prctl, notably NPHIE which controls hashst/hashchk for ROP protection. - Install powerpc selftests in sub-directories. Note this changes the way run_kselftest.sh needs to be invoked for powerpc selftests. - Change fadump (Firmware Assisted Dump) to better handle memory add/remove. - Add support for passing additional parameters to the fadump kernel. - Add support for updating the kdump image on CPU/memory add/remove events. - Other small features, cleanups and fixes.

KVM cleanups for 6.10: - Misc cleanups extracted from the "exit on missing userspace mapping" series, which has been put on hold in anticipation of a "KVM Userfault" approach, which should provide a superset of functionality. - Remove kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except(), which got added to hack around an AVIC bug, and then became dead code when a more robust fix came along. - Fix a goof in the KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD documentation.

KVM/arm64 updates for Linux 6.10 - Move a lot of state that was previously stored on a per vcpu basis into a per-CPU area, because it is only pertinent to the host while the vcpu is loaded. This results in better state tracking, and a smaller vcpu structure. - Add full handling of the ERET/ERETAA/ERETAB instructions in nested virtualisation. The last two instructions also require emulating part of the pointer authentication extension. As a result, the trap handling of pointer authentication has been greattly simplified. - Turn the global (and not very scalable) LPI translation cache into a per-ITS, scalable cache, making non directly injected LPIs much cheaper to make visible to the vcpu. - A batch of pKVM patches, mostly fixes and cleanups, as the upstreaming process seems to be resuming. Fingers crossed! - Allocate PPIs and SGIs outside of the vcpu structure, allowing for smaller EL2 mapping and some flexibility in implementing more or less than 32 private IRQs. - Purge stale mpidr_data if a vcpu is created after the MPIDR map has been created. - Preserve vcpu-specific ID registers across a vcpu reset. - Various minor cleanups and improvements.

KVM: fix documentation for KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD

2024-05-03T22:11:23Z

The KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl returns a file descriptor, and is documented as such in the description. However, the "Returns" field in the documentation states that the ioctl returns 0 on success.

KVM: arm64: Force injection of a data abort on NISV MMIO exit

2024-05-01T15:48:15Z

If a vcpu exits for a data abort with an invalid syndrome, the expectations are that userspace has a chance to save the day if it has requested to see such exits. However, this is completely futile in the case of a protected VM, as none of the state is available. In this particular case, inject a data abort directly into the vcpu, consistent with what userspace could do. This also helps with pKVM, which discards all syndrome information when forwarding data aborts that are not known to be MMIO. Finally, document this tweak to the API.

2024-03-11T14:42:55Z

KVM Xen and pfncache changes for 6.9: - Rip out the half-baked support for using gfn_to_pfn caches to manage pages that are "mapped" into guests via physical addresses. - Add support for using gfn_to_pfn caches with only a host virtual address, i.e. to bypass the "gfn" stage of the cache. The primary use case is overlay pages, where the guest may change the gfn used to reference the overlay page, but the backing hva+pfn remains the same. - Add an ioctl() to allow mapping Xen's shared_info page using an hva instead of a gpa, so that userspace doesn't need to reconfigure and invalidate the cache/mapping if the guest changes the gpa (but userspace keeps the resolved hva the same). - When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the timer emulation. - Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's behavior). - Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC IDs. - Extend gfn_to_pfn_cache's mutex to cover (de)activation (in addition to refresh), and drop a now-redundant acquisition of xen_lock (that was protecting the shared_info cache) to fix a deadlock due to recursively acquiring xen_lock.

KVM: x86: Update KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM docs to make it clear they're a WIP

2024-02-23T01:07:06Z

Rewrite the help message for KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM to make it clear that software-protected VMs are a development and testing vehicle for guest_memfd(), and that attempting to use KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM for anything remotely resembling a "real" VM will fail. E.g. any memory accesses from KVM will incorrectly access shared memory, nested TDP is wildly broken, and so on and so forth. Update KVM's API documentation with similar warnings to discourage anyone from attempting to run anything but selftests with KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM.
