commit fd1d0ddf2ae92fb3df42ed476939861806c5d785 upstream.

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

Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

.....

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.

Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.

  Common:
     Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
     instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other
     architectures).  This can improve latency up to 50% on some
     scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This
     also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to
     auto-tune this in the future.

  ARM/ARM64:
     The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
     tracking

  s390:
     Several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
     exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
     it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

  MIPS:
     Bugfixes.

  x86:
     Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
     Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
     virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
     usual round of emulation fixes.

     There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
     timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

     Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
     have already included his tree.

  Powerpc:
     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"

<content type='text'>
Since the advent of VGIC dynamic initialization, this latter is
initialized quite late on the first vcpu run or "on-demand", when
injecting an IRQ or when the guest sets its registers.

This initialization could be initiated explicitly much earlier
by the users-space, as soon as it has provided the requested
dimensioning parameters.

This patch adds a new entry to the VGIC KVM device that allows
the user to manually request the VGIC init:
- a new KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL group is introduced.
- Its first attribute is KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT

The rationale behind introducing a group is to be able to add other
controls later on, if needed.

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.
