commit 5d8d4af24460d079ecdb190254b14b528add1228 upstream.

The introduction of the SVE registers to userspace started with a
refactoring of the way we expose any register via the ONE_REG
interface.

Unfortunately, this change doesn't exactly behave as expected
if the number of registers is non-zero and consider everything
to be an error. The visible result is that QEMU barfs very early
when creating vcpus.

Make sure we only exit early in case there is an actual error, rather
than a positive number of registers...

<title>KVM: arm64: Filter out invalid core register IDs in KVM_GET_REG_LIST</title>

commit df205b5c63281e4f32caac22adda18fd68795e80 upstream.

Since commit d26c25a9d19b ("arm64: KVM: Tighten guest core register
access from userspace"), KVM_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG rejects register IDs
that do not correspond to a single underlying architectural register.

KVM_GET_REG_LIST was not changed to match however: instead, it
simply yields a list of 32-bit register IDs that together cover the
whole kvm_regs struct.  This means that if userspace tries to use
the resulting list of IDs directly to drive calls to KVM_*_ONE_REG,
some of those calls will now fail.

This was not the intention.  Instead, iterating KVM_*_ONE_REG over
the list of IDs returned by KVM_GET_REG_LIST should be guaranteed
to work.

This patch fixes the problem by splitting validate_core_offset()
into a backend core_reg_size_from_offset() which does all of the
work except for checking that the size field in the register ID
matches, and kvm_arm_copy_reg_indices() and num_core_regs() are
converted to use this to enumerate the valid offsets.

kvm_arm_copy_reg_indices() now also sets the register ID size field
appropriately based on the value returned, so the register ID
supplied to userspace is fully qualified for use with the register
access ioctls.

commit be25bbb392fad3a721d6d21b78639b60612b5439 upstream.

In preparation for adding logic to filter out some KVM_REG_ARM_CORE
registers from the KVM_GET_REG_LIST output, this patch factors out
the core register enumeration into a separate function and rebuilds
num_core_regs() on top of it.

This may be a little more expensive (depending on how good a job
the compiler does of specialising the code), but KVM_GET_REG_LIST
is not a hot path.

This will make it easier to consolidate ID filtering code in one
place.

No functional change.

commit 558c303c9734af5a813739cd284879227f7297d2 upstream.

Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors can
make use of branch history to influence future speculation.
When taking an exception from user-space, a sequence of branches
or a firmware call overwrites or invalidates the branch history.

The sequence of branches is added to the vectors, and should appear
before the first indirect branch. For systems using KPTI the sequence
is added to the kpti trampoline where it has a free register as the exit
from the trampoline is via a 'ret'. For systems not using KPTI, the same
register tricks are used to free up a register in the vectors.

For the firmware call, arch-workaround-3 clobbers 4 registers, so
there is no choice but to save them to the EL1 stack. This only happens
for entry from EL0, so if we take an exception due to the stack access,
it will not become re-entrant.

For KVM, the existing branch-predictor-hardening vectors are used.
When a spectre version of these vectors is in use, the firmware call
is sufficient to mitigate against Spectre-BHB. For the non-spectre
versions, the sequence of branches is added to the indirect vector.

commit bd09128d16fac3c34b80bd6a29088ac632e8ce09 upstream.

The Spectre-BHB workaround adds a firmware call to the vectors. This
is needed on some CPUs, but not others. To avoid the unaffected CPU in
a big/little pair from making the firmware call, create per cpu vectors.

The per-cpu vectors only apply when returning from EL0.

Systems using KPTI can use the canonical 'full-fat' vectors directly at
EL1, the trampoline exit code will switch to this_cpu_vector on exit to
EL0. Systems not using KPTI should always use this_cpu_vector.

this_cpu_vector will point at a vector in tramp_vecs or
__bp_harden_el1_vectors, depending on whether KPTI is in use.

[ Upstream commit a354a64d91eec3e0f8ef0eed575b480fd75b999c ]

Disable guest access to the Trace Filter control registers.
We do not advertise the Trace filter feature to the guest
(ID_AA64DFR0_EL1: TRACE_FILT is cleared) already, but the guest
can still access the TRFCR_EL1 unless we trap it.

This will also make sure that the guest cannot fiddle with
the filtering controls set by a nvhe host.

commit 2a5f1b67ec577fb1544b563086e0377f095f88e2 upstream.

We reset the guest's view of PMCR_EL0 unconditionally, based on
the host's view of this register. It is however legal for an
implementation not to provide any PMU, resulting in an UNDEF.

The obvious fix is to skip the reset of this shadow register
when no PMU is available, sidestepping the issue entirely.
If no PMU is available, the guest is not able to request
a virtual PMU anyway, so not doing nothing is the right thing
to do!

It is unlikely that this bug can hit any HW implementation
though, as they all provide a PMU. It has been found using nested
virt with the host KVM not implementing the PMU itself.

<title>KVM: arm64: Survive synchronous exceptions caused by AT instructions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74ecd51bc6b63f73cfc0c2fd191aa9f12891b79c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 88a84ccccb3966bcc3f309cdb76092a9892c0260 upstream.

KVM doesn't expect any synchronous exceptions when executing, any such
exception leads to a panic(). AT instructions access the guest page
tables, and can cause a synchronous external abort to be taken.

The arm-arm is unclear on what should happen if the guest has configured
the hardware update of the access-flag, and a memory type in TCR_EL1 that
does not support atomic operations. B2.2.6 "Possible implementation
restrictions on using atomic instructions" from DDI0487F.a lists
synchronous external abort as a possible behaviour of atomic instructions
that target memory that isn't writeback cacheable, but the page table
walker may behave differently.

Make KVM robust to synchronous exceptions caused by AT instructions.
Add a get_user() style helper for AT instructions that returns -EFAULT
if an exception was generated.

While KVM's version of the exception table mixes synchronous and
asynchronous exceptions, only one of these can occur at each location.

Re-enter the guest when the AT instructions take an exception on the
assumption the guest will take the same exception. This isn't guaranteed
to make forward progress, as the AT instructions may always walk the page
tables, but guest execution may use the translation cached in the TLB.

This isn't a problem, as since commit 5dcd0fdbb492 ("KVM: arm64: Defer guest
entry when an asynchronous exception is pending"), KVM will return to the
host to process IRQs allowing the rest of the system to keep running.
