Commit cae7ed3c2cb0 ("KVM: x86: Refactor the MMIO SPTE generation handling")
cleaned up the computation of MMIO generation SPTE masks, however it
introduced a bug how the upper part was encoded:
SPTE bits 52-61 were supposed to contain bits 10-19 of the current
generation number, however a missing shift encoded bits 1-10 there instead
(mostly duplicating the lower part of the encoded generation number that
then consisted of bits 1-9).In the meantime, the upper part was shrunk by one bit and moved by
subsequent commits to become an upper half of the encoded generation number
(bits 9-17 of bits 0-17 encoded in a SPTE).In addition to the above, commit 56871d444bc4 ("KVM: x86: fix overlap between SPTE_MMIO_MASK and generation")
has changed the SPTE bit range assigned to encode the generation number and
the total number of bits encoded but did not update them in the comment
attached to their defines, nor in the KVM MMU doc.
Let's do it here, too, since it is too trivial thing to warrant a separate
commit.Fixes: cae7ed3c2cb0 ("KVM: x86: Refactor the MMIO SPTE generation handling")

KVM unconditionally provides PV features to the guest, regardless of the
configured CPUID. An unwitting guest that doesn't check
KVM_CPUID_FEATURES before use could access paravirt features that
userspace did not intend to provide. Fix this by checking the guest's
CPUID before performing any paravirtual operations.Introduce a capability, KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID, to gate the
aforementioned enforcement. Migrating a VM from a host w/o this patch to
a host with this patch could silently change the ABI exposed to the
guest, warranting that we default to the old behavior and opt-in for
the new one.Reviewed-by: Jim Mattson

Allowing userspace to intercept reads to x2APIC MSRs when APICV is
fully enabled for the guest simply can't work. But more in general,
the LAPIC could be set to in-kernel after the MSR filter is setup
and allowing accesses by userspace would be very confusing.We could in principle allow userspace to intercept reads and writes to TPR,
and writes to EOI and SELF_IPI, but while that could be made it work, it
would still be silly.Cc: Alexander Graf

Rework the resetting of the MSR bitmap for x2APIC MSRs to ignore userspace
filtering. Allowing userspace to intercept reads to x2APIC MSRs when
APICV is fully enabled for the guest simply can't work; the LAPIC and thus
virtual APIC is in-kernel and cannot be directly accessed by userspace.
To keep things simple we will in fact forbid intercepting x2APIC MSRs
altogether, independent of the default_allow setting.Cc: Alexander Graf

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"There's quite a lot of code here, but much of it is due to the
addition of a new PMU driver as well as some arm64-specific selftests
which is an area where we've traditionally been lagging a bit.In terms of exciting features, this includes support for the Memory
Tagging Extension which narrowly missed 5.9, hopefully allowing
userspace to run with use-after-free detection in production on CPUs
that support it. Work is ongoing to integrate the feature with KASAN
for 5.11.Another change that I'm excited about (assuming they get the hardware
right) is preparing the ASID allocator for sharing the CPU page-table
with the SMMU. Those changes will also come in via Joerg with the
IOMMU pull.We do stray outside of our usual directories in a few places, mostly
due to core changes required by MTE. Although much of this has been
Acked, there were a couple of places where we unfortunately didn't get
any review feedback.Other than that, we ran into a handful of minor conflicts in -next,
but nothing that should post any issues.Summary:
- Userspace support for the Memory Tagging Extension introduced by
Armv8.5. Kernel support (via KASAN) is likely to follow in 5.11.- Selftests for MTE, Pointer Authentication and FPSIMD/SVE context
switching.- Fix and subsequent rewrite of our Spectre mitigations, including
the addition of support for PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC.- Support for the Armv8.3 Pointer Authentication enhancements.
- Support for ASID pinning, which is required when sharing
page-tables with the SMMU.- MM updates, including treating flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() as a
no-op.- Perf/PMU driver updates, including addition of the ARM CMN PMU
driver and also support to handle CPU PMU IRQs as NMIs.- Allow prefetchable PCI BARs to be exposed to userspace using normal
non-cacheable mappings.- Implementation of ARCH_STACKWALK for unwinding.
- Improve reporting of unexpected kernel traps due to BPF JIT
failure.- Improve robustness of user-visible HWCAP strings and their
corresponding numerical constants.- Removal of TEXT_OFFSET.
- Removal of some unused functions, parameters and prototypes.
- Removal of MPIDR-based topology detection in favour of firmware
description.- Cleanups to handling of SVE and FPSIMD register state in
preparation for potential future optimisation of handling across
syscalls.- Cleanups to the SDEI driver in preparation for support in KVM.

It's not desireable to have all MSRs always handled by KVM kernel space. Some
MSRs would be useful to handle in user space to either emulate behavior (like
uCode updates) or differentiate whether they are valid based on the CPU model.To allow user space to specify which MSRs it wants to see handled by KVM,
this patch introduces a new ioctl to push filter rules with bitmaps into
KVM. Based on these bitmaps, KVM can then decide whether to reject MSR access.
With the addition of KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR it can also deflect the
denied MSR events to user space to operate on.If no filter is populated, MSR handling stays identical to before.

MSRs are weird. Some of them are normal control registers, such as EFER.
Some however are registers that really are model specific, not very
interesting to virtualization workloads, and not performance critical.
Others again are really just windows into package configuration.Out of these MSRs, only the first category is necessary to implement in
kernel space. Rarely accessed MSRs, MSRs that should be fine tunes against
certain CPU models and MSRs that contain information on the package level
are much better suited for user space to process. However, over time we have
accumulated a lot of MSRs that are not the first category, but still handled
by in-kernel KVM code.This patch adds a generic interface to handle WRMSR and RDMSR from user
space. With this, any future MSR that is part of the latter categories can
be handled in user space.Furthermore, it allows us to replace the existing "ignore_msrs" logic with
something that applies per-VM rather than on the full system. That way you
can run productive VMs in parallel to experimental ones where you don't care
about proper MSR handling.Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf

arm64 requires a vcpu fd (KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR vcpu ioctl) to probe
support for steal-time. However this is unnecessary, as only a KVM
fd is required, and it complicates userspace (userspace may prefer
delaying vcpu creation until after feature probing). Introduce a cap
that can be checked instead. While x86 can already probe steal-time
support with a kvm fd (KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID), we add the cap there
too for consistency.Signed-off-by: Andrew Jones

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
- Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
Power9 or later.- Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.- A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
architectures.- Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.- Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
- A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.- Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
usual.Thanks to: Abhishek Goel, Alastair D'Silva, Alexander A. Klimov, Alexey

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come. Changes include:- Some new Chinese translations
- Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS
URLs- Some block-mq documentation
- More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
something...:)- Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more"

Power ISA v3.1 has added new performance monitoring unit (PMU) special
purpose registers (SPRs). They are:Monitor Mode Control Register 3 (MMCR3)
Sampled Instruction Event Register A (SIER2)
Sampled Instruction Event Register B (SIER3)Add support to save/restore these new SPRs while entering/exiting
guest. Also include changes to support KVM_REG_PPC_MMCR3/SIER2/SIER3.
Add new SPRs to KVM API documentation.Signed-off-by: Athira Rajeev

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.Signed-off-by: Alexander A. Klimov
