[ Upstream commit aee8c67a4faa40a8df4e79316dbfc92d123989c1 ]

When *RSTOR from user memory raises an exception, there is no way to
differentiate them. That's bad because it forces the slow path even when
the failure was not a fault. If the operation raised eg. #GP then going
through the slow path is pointless.

Use _ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT() which stores the trap number and let the exception
fixup return the negated trap number as error.

This allows to separate the fast path and let it handle faults directly and
avoid the slow path for all other exceptions.

to enter NMI-state when raised from kernel mode and plain IRQ state when

[ Upstream commit 07ffaf343e34b555c9e7ea39a9c81c439a706f13 ]

Trigger a full TLB flush on behalf of the guest on nested VM-Enter and
VM-Exit when VPID is disabled for L2.  kvm_mmu_new_pgd() syncs only the
current PGD, which can theoretically leave stale, unsync'd entries in a
previous guest PGD, which could be consumed if L2 is allowed to load CR3
with PCID_NOFLUSH=1.

Rename KVM_REQ_HV_TLB_FLUSH to KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST so that it can
be utilized for its obvious purpose of emulating a guest TLB flush.

Note, there is no change the actual TLB flush executed by KVM, even
though the fast PGD switch uses KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT.  When VPID is
disabled for L2, vpid02 is guaranteed to be '0', and thus
nested_get_vpid02() will return the VPID that is shared by L1 and L2.

Generate the request outside of kvm_mmu_new_pgd(), as getting the common
helper to correctly identify which requested is needed is quite painful.
E.g. using KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST when nested EPT is in play is wrong as
a TLB flush from the L1 kernel's perspective does not invalidate EPT
mappings.  And, by using KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST, nVMX can do future
simplification by moving the logic into nested_vmx_transition_tlb_flush().

<title>sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled</title>

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

  @begone@
  @@

  -preempt_disable();
  ...
  cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);

<title>KVM: x86: Force all MMUs to reinitialize if guest CPUID is modified</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f1d51d9ab0509d62cd0f19dfe7e3a127f389caed</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 49c6f8756cdffeb9af1fbcb86bacacced26465d7 upstream.

Invalidate all MMUs' roles after a CPUID update to force reinitizliation
of the MMU context/helpers.  Despite the efforts of commit de3ccd26fafc
("KVM: MMU: record maximum physical address width in kvm_mmu_extended_role"),
there are still a handful of CPUID-based properties that affect MMU
behavior but are not incorporated into mmu_role.  E.g. 1gb hugepage
support, AMD vs. Intel handling of bit 8, and SEV's C-Bit location all
factor into the guest's reserved PTE bits.

The obvious alternative would be to add all such properties to mmu_role,
but doing so provides no benefit over simply forcing a reinitialization
on every CPUID update, as setting guest CPUID is a rare operation.

Note, reinitializing all MMUs after a CPUID update does not fix all of
KVM's woes.  Specifically, kvm_mmu_page_role doesn't track the CPUID
properties, which means that a vCPU can reuse shadow pages that should
not exist for the new vCPU model, e.g. that map GPAs that are now illegal
(due to MAXPHYADDR changes) or that set bits that are now reserved
(PAGE_SIZE for 1gb pages), etc...

Tracking the relevant CPUID properties in kvm_mmu_page_role would address
the majority of problems, but fully tracking that much state in the
shadow page role comes with an unpalatable cost as it would require a
non-trivial increase in KVM's memory footprint.  The GBPAGES case is even
worse, as neither Intel nor AMD provides a way to disable 1gb hugepage
support in the hardware page walker, i.e. it's a virtualization hole that
can't be closed when using TDP.

In other words, resetting the MMU after a CPUID update is largely a
superficial fix.  But, it will allow reverting the tracking of MAXPHYADDR
in the mmu_role, and that case in particular needs to mostly work because
KVM's shadow_root_level depends on guest MAXPHYADDR when 5-level paging
is supported.  For cases where KVM botches guest behavior, the damage is
limited to that guest.  But for the shadow_root_level, a misconfigured
MMU can cause KVM to incorrectly access memory, e.g. due to walking off
the end of its shadow page tables.

commit f71a53d1180d5ecc346f0c6a23191d837fe2871b upstream.

Restore CR4.LA57 to the mmu_role to fix an amusing edge case with nested
virtualization.  When KVM (L0) is using TDP, CR4.LA57 is not reflected in
mmu_role.base.level because that tracks the shadow root level, i.e. TDP
level.  Normally, this is not an issue because LA57 can't be toggled
while long mode is active, i.e. the guest has to first disable paging,
then toggle LA57, then re-enable paging, thus ensuring an MMU
reinitialization.

But if L1 is crafty, it can load a new CR4 on VM-Exit and toggle LA57
without having to bounce through an unpaged section.  L1 can also load a
new CR3 on exit, i.e. it doesn't even need to play crazy paging games, a
single entry PML5 is sufficient.  Such shenanigans are only problematic
if L0 and L1 use TDP, otherwise L1 and L2 share an MMU that gets
reinitialized on nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit due to mmu_role.base.guest_mode.

Note, in the L2 case with nested TDP, even though L1 can switch between
L2s with different LA57 settings, thus bypassing the paging requirement,
in that case KVM's nested_mmu will track LA57 in base.level.

This reverts commit 8053f924cad30bf9f9a24e02b6c8ddfabf5202ea.

<title>x86/fpu: Make init_fpstate correct with optimized XSAVE</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=3e40e787d89b360cf7ff7810cf699bf88896f057'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3e40e787d89b360cf7ff7810cf699bf88896f057</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f9dfb5e390fab2df9f7944bb91e7705aba14cd26 upstream.

The XSAVE init code initializes all enabled and supported components with
XRSTOR(S) to init state. Then it XSAVEs the state of the components back
into init_fpstate which is used in several places to fill in the init state
of components.

This works correctly with XSAVE, but not with XSAVEOPT and XSAVES because
those use the init optimization and skip writing state of components which
are in init state. So init_fpstate.xsave still contains all zeroes after
this operation.

There are two ways to solve that:

   1) Use XSAVE unconditionally, but that requires to reshuffle the buffer when
      XSAVES is enabled because XSAVES uses compacted format.

   2) Save the components which are known to have a non-zero init state by other
      means.

Looking deeper, #2 is the right thing to do because all components the
kernel supports have all-zeroes init state except the legacy features (FP,
SSE). Those cannot be hard coded because the states are not identical on all
CPUs, but they can be saved with FXSAVE which avoids all conditionals.

Use FXSAVE to save the legacy FP/SSE components in init_fpstate along with
a BUILD_BUG_ON() which reminds developers to validate that a newly added
component has all zeroes init state. As a bonus remove the now unused
copy_xregs_to_kernel_booting() crutch.

The XSAVE and reshuffle method can still be implemented in the unlikely
case that components are added which have a non-zero init state and no
other means to save them. For now, FXSAVE is just simple and good enough.

<title>x86/pkru: Write hardware init value to PKRU when xstate is init</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 510b80a6a0f1a0d114c6e33bcea64747d127973c upstream.

When user space brings PKRU into init state, then the kernel handling is
broken:

  T1 user space
     xsave(state)
     state.header.xfeatures &amp;= ~XFEATURE_MASK_PKRU;
     xrstor(state)

  T1 -&gt; kernel
     schedule()
       XSAVE(S) -&gt; T1-&gt;xsave.header.xfeatures[PKRU] == 0
       T1-&gt;flags |= TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD;

       wrpkru();

     schedule()
       ...
       pk = get_xsave_addr(&amp;T1-&gt;fpu-&gt;state.xsave, XFEATURE_PKRU);
       if (pk)
	 wrpkru(pk-&gt;pkru);
       else
	 wrpkru(DEFAULT_PKRU);

Because the xfeatures bit is 0 and therefore the value in the xsave
storage is not valid, get_xsave_addr() returns NULL and switch_to()
writes the default PKRU. -&gt; FAIL #1!

So that wrecks any copy_to/from_user() on the way back to user space
which hits memory which is protected by the default PKRU value.

Assumed that this does not fail (pure luck) then T1 goes back to user
space and because TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD is set it ends up in

  switch_fpu_return()
      __fpregs_load_activate()
        if (!fpregs_state_valid()) {
  	 load_XSTATE_from_task();
        }

But if nothing touched the FPU between T1 scheduling out and back in,
then the fpregs_state is still valid which means switch_fpu_return()
does nothing and just clears TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD. Back to user space with
DEFAULT_PKRU loaded. -&gt; FAIL #2!

The fix is simple: if get_xsave_addr() returns NULL then set the
PKRU value to 0 instead of the restrictive default PKRU value in
init_pkru_value.
