commit 5eeaf10eec394b28fad2c58f1f5c3a5da0e87d1c upstream.

Since commit commit 328e56647944 ("KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Defer
touching GICH_VMCR to vcpu_load/put"), we leave ICH_VMCR_EL2 (or
its GICv2 equivalent) loaded as long as we can, only syncing it
back when we're scheduled out.

There is a small snag with that though: kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq(),
which is indirectly called from kvm_vcpu_check_block(), needs to
evaluate the guest's view of ICC_PMR_EL1. At the point were we
call kvm_vcpu_check_block(), the vcpu is still loaded, and whatever
changes to PMR is not visible in memory until we do a vcpu_put().

Things go really south if the guest does the following:

	mov x0, #0	// or any small value masking interrupts
	msr ICC_PMR_EL1, x0

	[vcpu preempted, then rescheduled, VMCR sampled]

	mov x0, #ff	// allow all interrupts
	msr ICC_PMR_EL1, x0
	wfi		// traps to EL2, so samping of VMCR

	[interrupt arrives just after WFI]

Here, the hypervisor's view of PMR is zero, while the guest has enabled
its interrupts. kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq() will then say that no
interrupts are pending (despite an interrupt being received) and we'll
block for no reason. If the guest doesn't have a periodic interrupt
firing once it has blocked, it will stay there forever.

To avoid this unfortuante situation, let's resync VMCR from
kvm_arch_vcpu_blocking(), ensuring that a following kvm_vcpu_check_block()
will observe the latest value of PMR.

This has been found by booting an arm64 Linux guest with the pseudo NMI
feature, and thus using interrupt priorities to mask interrupts instead
of the usual PSTATE masking.

<title>KVM: s390: Do not report unusabled IDs via KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID</title>

<id>urn:sha1:527919d0cc5188c98b89f8357f7f7b36085c1a2c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a86cb413f4bf273a9d341a3ab2c2ca44e12eb317 upstream.

KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID is currently always reporting KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID on all
architectures. However, on s390x, the amount of usable CPUs is determined
during runtime - it is depending on the features of the machine the code
is running on. Since we are using the vcpu_id as an index into the SCA
structures that are defined by the hardware (see e.g. the sca_add_vcpu()
function), it is not only the amount of CPUs that is limited by the hard-
ware, but also the range of IDs that we can use.
Thus KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID must be determined during runtime on s390x, too.
So the handling of KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID has to be moved from the common
code into the architecture specific code, and on s390x we have to return
the same value here as for KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS.
This problem has been discovered with the kvm_create_max_vcpus selftest.
With this change applied, the selftest now passes on s390x, too.

A failed KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT should not set the vcpu target,
as the vcpu target is used by kvm_vcpu_initialized() to
determine if other vcpu ioctls may proceed. We need to set
the target before calling kvm_reset_vcpu(), but if that call
fails, we should then unset it and clear the feature bitmap
while we're at it.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: Fix VMID alloc race by reverting to lock-less</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cb754d67c084d4e673c3dd420636d7e8eb81b024</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fb544d1ca65a89f7a3895f7531221ceeed74ada7 upstream.

We recently addressed a VMID generation race by introducing a read/write
lock around accesses and updates to the vmid generation values.

However, kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() also calls need_new_vmid_gen() but
does so without taking the read lock.

As far as I can tell, this can lead to the same kind of race:

  VM 0, VCPU 0			VM 0, VCPU 1
  ------------			------------
  update_vttbr (vmid 254)
  				update_vttbr (vmid 1) // roll over
				read_lock(kvm_vmid_lock);
				force_vm_exit()
  local_irq_disable
  need_new_vmid_gen == false //because vmid gen matches

  enter_guest (vmid 254)
  				kvm_arch.vttbr = &lt;PGD&gt;:&lt;VMID 1&gt;
				read_unlock(kvm_vmid_lock);

  				enter_guest (vmid 1)

Which results in running two VCPUs in the same VM with different VMIDs
and (even worse) other VCPUs from other VMs could now allocate clashing
VMID 254 from the new generation as long as VCPU 0 is not exiting.

Attempt to solve this by making sure vttbr is updated before another CPU
can observe the updated VMID generation.

<content type='text'>
commit da5a3ce66b8bb51b0ea8a89f42aac153903f90fb upstream.

At boot time, KVM stashes the host MDCR_EL2 value, but only does this
when the kernel is not running in hyp mode (i.e. is non-VHE). In these
cases, the stashed value of MDCR_EL2.HPMN happens to be zero, which can
lead to CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behaviour.

Since we use this value to derive the MDCR_EL2 value when switching
to/from a guest, after a guest have been run, the performance counters
do not behave as expected. This has been observed to result in accesses
via PMXEVTYPER_EL0 and PMXEVCNTR_EL0 not affecting the relevant
counters, resulting in events not being counted. In these cases, only
the fixed-purpose cycle counter appears to work as expected.

Fix this by always stashing the host MDCR_EL2 value, regardless of VHE.

commit 55e3748e8902ff641e334226bdcb432f9a5d78d3 upstream.

In order to offer ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 support to guests, we need
a bit of infrastructure.

Let's add a flag indicating whether or not the guest uses
SSBD mitigation. Depending on the state of this flag, allow
KVM to disable ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 before entering the guest,
and enable it when exiting it.

Commit 36989e7fd386a9a5822c48691473863f8fbb404d upstream.

kvm_host_cpu_state is a per-cpu allocation made from kvm_arch_init()
used to store the host EL1 registers when KVM switches to a guest.

Make it easier for ASM to generate pointers into this per-cpu memory
by making it a static allocation.

<id>urn:sha1:5a5ea34017993e6714dec7c741d1d9e263ec3638</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f0cf47d939d0b4b4f660c5aaa4276fa3488f3391 upstream.

Before entering the guest, we check whether our VMID is still
part of the current generation. In order to avoid taking a lock,
we start with checking that the generation is still current, and
only if not current do we take the lock, recheck, and update the
generation and VMID.

This leaves open a small race: A vcpu can bump up the global
generation number as well as the VM's, but has not updated
the VMID itself yet.

At that point another vcpu from the same VM comes in, checks
the generation (and finds it not needing anything), and jumps
into the guest. At this point, we end-up with two vcpus belonging
to the same VM running with two different VMIDs. Eventually, the
VMID used by the second vcpu will get reassigned, and things will
really go wrong...

A simple solution would be to drop this initial check, and always take
the lock. This is likely to cause performance issues. A middle ground
is to convert the spinlock to a rwlock, and only take the read lock
on the fast path. If the check fails at that point, drop it and
acquire the write lock, rechecking the condition.

This ensures that the above scenario doesn't occur.

[ Upstream commit 58d0d19a204604ca0da26058828a53558b265da3 ]

Since it is perfectly legal to run the kernel at EL1, it is not
actually an error if HYP mode is not available when attempting to
initialize KVM, given that KVM support cannot be built as a module.
So demote the kvm_err() to kvm_info(), which prevents the error from
appearing on an otherwise 'quiet' console.

commit 58d6b15e9da5042a99c9c30ad725792e4569150e upstream.

cpu_pm_enter() calls the pm notifier chain with CPU_PM_ENTER, then if
there is a failure: CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED.

When KVM receives CPU_PM_ENTER it calls cpu_hyp_reset() which will
return us to the hyp-stub. If we subsequently get a CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED,
KVM does nothing, leaving the CPU running with the hyp-stub, at odds
with kvm_arm_hardware_enabled.

Add CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED as a fallthrough for CPU_PM_EXIT, this reloads
KVM based on kvm_arm_hardware_enabled. This is safe even if CPU_PM_ENTER
never gets as far as KVM, as cpu_hyp_reinit() calls cpu_hyp_reset()
to make sure the hyp-stub is loaded before reloading KVM.
