[ Upstream commit fd1d0ddf2ae92fb3df42ed476939861806c5d785 ]

When userland injects a SPI via the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl we currently
only check it against a fixed limit, which historically is set
to 127. With the new dynamic IRQ allocation the effective limit may
actually be smaller (64).
So when now a malicious or buggy userland injects a SPI in that
range, we spill over on our VGIC bitmaps and bytemaps memory.
I could trigger a host kernel NULL pointer dereference with current
mainline by injecting some bogus IRQ number from a hacked kvmtool:
-----------------
....
DEBUG: kvm_vgic_inject_irq(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: vgic_update_irq_pending(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: IRQ #114 still in the game, writing to bytemap now...
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = ffffffc07652e000

.....

So this patch fixes this by checking the SPI number against the
actual limit. Also we remove the former legacy hard limit of
127 in the ioctl code.

In order to make the number of interrupts configurable, use the new
fancy device management API to add KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_NR_IRQS as
a VGIC configurable attribute.

Userspace can now specify the exact size of the GIC (by increments
of 32 interrupts).

When userspace loads code and data in a read-only memory regions, KVM
needs to be able to handle this on arm and arm64.  Specifically this is
used when running code directly from a read-only flash device; the
common scenario is a UEFI blob loaded with the -bios option in QEMU.

Note that the MMIO exit on writes to a read-only memory is ABI and can
be used to emulate block-erase style flash devices.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "At over 200 commits, covering almost all supported architectures, this
  was a pretty active cycle for KVM.  Changes include:

   - a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration, GDB
     support and more

   - ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall
     interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by
     Catalin)

   - initial POWER8 and little-endian host support

   - support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets

   - pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace
     interface and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware

   - for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17.  Still, we
     have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
     fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
     always worked).  And some optimizations too.

  The only missing architecture here is ia64.  It's not a coincidence
  that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17"
