Per-vcpu flags are updated using a non-atomic RMW operation.
Which means it is possible to get preempted between the read and
write operations.

Another interesting thing to note is that preemption also updates
flags, as we have some flag manipulation in both the load and put
operations.

It is thus possible to lose information communicated by either
load or put, as the preempted flag update will overwrite the flags
when the thread is resumed. This is specially critical if either
load or put has stored information which depends on the physical
CPU the vcpu runs on.

This results in really elusive bugs, and kudos must be given to
Mostafa for the long hours of debugging, and finally spotting
the problem.

Fix it by disabling preemption during the RMW operation, which
ensures that the state stays consistent. Also upgrade vcpu_get_flag
path to use READ_ONCE() to make sure the field is always atomically
accessed.

<title>KVM: arm64: timers: Convert per-vcpu virtual offset to a global value</title>

Having a per-vcpu virtual offset is a pain. It needs to be synchronized
on each update, and expands badly to a setup where different timers can
have different offsets, or have composite offsets (as with NV).

So let's start by replacing the use of the CNTVOFF_EL2 shadow register
(which we want to reclaim for NV anyway), and make the virtual timer
carry a pointer to a VM-wide offset.

This simplifies the code significantly. It also addresses two terrible bugs:

- The use of CNTVOFF_EL2 leads to some nice offset corruption
  when the sysreg gets reset, as reported by Joey.

- The kvm mutex is taken from a vcpu ioctl, which goes against
  the locking rules...

Pull arm64 fixes from Catalin Marinas:

 - In copy_highpage(), only reset the tag of the destination pointer if
   KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled so that user-space MTE does not interfere
   with KASAN_SW_TAGS (which relies on top-byte-ignore).

 - Remove warning if SME is detected without SVE, the kernel can cope
   with such configuration (though none in the field currently).

 - In cfi_handler(), pass the ESR_EL1 value to die() for consistency
   with other die() callers.

 - Disable HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP on arm64 since the pte
   manipulation from the generic vmemmap_remap_pte() does not follow the
   required ARM break-before-make sequence (clear the pte, flush the
   TLBs, set the new pte). It may be re-enabled once this sequence is
   sorted.

 - Fix possible memory leak in the arm64 ACPI code if the SMCCC version
   and conduit checks fail.

 - Forbid CALL_OPS with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE since gcc ignores
  -falign-functions=N with -Os.

 - Don't pretend KASLR is enabled if offset &lt; MIN_KIMG_ALIGN as no
   randomisation would actually take place.

<content type='text'>
Our virtual KASLR displacement is a randomly chosen multiple of
2 MiB plus an offset that is equal to the physical placement modulo 2
MiB. This arrangement ensures that we can always use 2 MiB block
mappings (or contiguous PTE mappings for 16k or 64k pages) to map the
kernel.

This means that a KASLR offset of less than 2 MiB is simply the product
of this physical displacement, and no randomization has actually taken
place. Currently, we use 'kaslr_offset() &gt; 0' to decide whether or not
randomization has occurred, and so we misidentify this case.

If the kernel image placement is not randomized, modules are allocated
from a dedicated region below the kernel mapping, which is only used for
modules and not for other vmalloc() or vmap() calls.

When randomization is enabled, the kernel image is vmap()'ed randomly
inside the vmalloc region, and modules are allocated in the vicinity of
this mapping to ensure that relative references are always in range.
However, unlike the dedicated module region below the vmalloc region,
this region is not reserved exclusively for modules, and so ordinary
vmalloc() calls may end up overlapping with it. This should rarely
happen, given that vmalloc allocates bottom up, although it cannot be
ruled out entirely.

The misidentified case results in a placement of the kernel image within
2 MiB of its default address. However, the logic that randomizes the
module region is still invoked, and this could result in the module
region overlapping with the start of the vmalloc region, instead of
using the dedicated region below it. If this happens, a single large
vmalloc() or vmap() call will use up the entire region, and leave no
space for loading modules after that.

Since commit 82046702e288 ("efi/libstub/arm64: Replace 'preferred'
offset with alignment check"), this is much more likely to occur on
systems that boot via EFI but lack an implementation of the EFI RNG
protocol, as in that case, the EFI stub will decide to leave the image
where it found it, and the EFI firmware uses 64k alignment only.

Fix this, by correctly identifying the case where the virtual
displacement is a result of the physical displacement only.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Provide a virtual cache topology to the guest to avoid
     inconsistencies with migration on heterogenous systems. Non secure
     software has no practical need to traverse the caches by set/way in
     the first place

   - Add support for taking stage-2 access faults in parallel. This was
     an accidental omission in the original parallel faults
     implementation, but should provide a marginal improvement to
     machines w/o FEAT_HAFDBS (such as hardware from the fruit company)

   - A preamble to adding support for nested virtualization to KVM,
     including vEL2 register state, rudimentary nested exception
     handling and masking unsupported features for nested guests

   - Fixes to the PSCI relay that avoid an unexpected host SVE trap when
     resuming a CPU when running pKVM

   - VGIC maintenance interrupt support for the AIC

   - Improvements to the arch timer emulation, primarily aimed at
     reducing the trap overhead of running nested

   - Add CONFIG_USERFAULTFD to the KVM selftests config fragment in the
     interest of CI systems

   - Avoid VM-wide stop-the-world operations when a vCPU accesses its
     own redistributor

   - Serialize when toggling CPACR_EL1.SMEN to avoid unexpected
     exceptions in the host

   - Aesthetic and comment/kerneldoc fixes

   - Drop the vestiges of the old Columbia mailing list and add [Oliver]
     as co-maintainer

  RISC-V:

   - Fix wrong usage of PGDIR_SIZE instead of PUD_SIZE

   - Correctly place the guest in S-mode after redirecting a trap to the
     guest

   - Redirect illegal instruction traps to guest

   - SBI PMU support for guest

  s390:

   - Sort out confusion between virtual and physical addresses, which
     currently are the same on s390

   - A new ioctl that performs cmpxchg on guest memory

   - A few fixes

  x86:

   - Change tdp_mmu to a read-only parameter

   - Separate TDP and shadow MMU page fault paths

   - Enable Hyper-V invariant TSC control

   - Fix a variety of APICv and AVIC bugs, some of them real-world, some
     of them affecting architecurally legal but unlikely to happen in
     practice

   - Mark APIC timer as expired if its in one-shot mode and the count
     underflows while the vCPU task was being migrated

   - Advertise support for Intel's new fast REP string features

   - Fix a double-shootdown issue in the emergency reboot code

   - Ensure GIF=1 and disable SVM during an emergency reboot, i.e. give
     SVM similar treatment to VMX

   - Update Xen's TSC info CPUID sub-leaves as appropriate

   - Add support for Hyper-V's extended hypercalls, where "support" at
     this point is just forwarding the hypercalls to userspace

   - Clean up the kvm-&gt;lock vs. kvm-&gt;srcu sequences when updating the
     PMU and MSR filters

   - One-off fixes and cleanups

   - Fix and cleanup the range-based TLB flushing code, used when KVM is
     running on Hyper-V

   - Add support for filtering PMU events using a mask. If userspace
     wants to restrict heavily what events the guest can use, it can now
     do so without needing an absurd number of filter entries

   - Clean up KVM's handling of "PMU MSRs to save", especially when vPMU
     support is disabled

   - Add PEBS support for Intel Sapphire Rapids

   - Fix a mostly benign overflow bug in SEV's
     send|receive_update_data()

   - Move several SVM-specific flags into vcpu_svm

  x86 Intel:

   - Handle NMI VM-Exits before leaving the noinstr region

   - A few trivial cleanups in the VM-Enter flows

   - Stop enabling VMFUNC for L1 purely to document that KVM doesn't
     support EPTP switching (or any other VM function) for L1

   - Fix a crash when using eVMCS's enlighted MSR bitmaps

  Generic:

   - Clean up the hardware enable and initialization flow, which was
     scattered around multiple arch-specific hooks. Instead, just let
     the arch code call into generic code. Both x86 and ARM should
     benefit from not having to fight common KVM code's notion of how to
     do initialization

   - Account allocations in generic kvm_arch_alloc_vm()

   - Fix a memory leak if coalesced MMIO unregistration fails

  selftests:

   - On x86, cache the CPU vendor (AMD vs. Intel) and use the info to
     emit the correct hypercall instruction instead of relying on KVM to
     patch in VMMCALL

   - Use TAP interface for kvm_binary_stats_test and tsc_msrs_test"

   - Ensure GIF=1 and disable SVM during an emergency reboot, i.e. give
     SVM similar treatment to VMX

   - Update Xen's TSC info CPUID sub-leaves as appropriate

   - Add support for Hyper-V's extended hypercalls, where "support" at
     this point is just forwarding the hypercalls to userspace

   - Clean up the kvm-&gt;lock vs. kvm-&gt;srcu sequences when updating the
     PMU and MSR filters

   - One-off fixes and cleanups

   - Fix and cleanup the range-based TLB flushing code, used when KVM is
     running on Hyper-V

   - Add support for filtering PMU events using a mask. If userspace
     wants to restrict heavily what events the guest can use, it can now
     do so without needing an absurd number of filter entries

   - Clean up KVM's handling of "PMU MSRs to save", especially when vPMU
     support is disabled

   - Add PEBS support for Intel Sapphire Rapids

   - Fix a mostly benign overflow bug in SEV's
     send|receive_update_data()

   - Move several SVM-specific flags into vcpu_svm

  x86 Intel:

   - Handle NMI VM-Exits before leaving the noinstr region

   - A few trivial cleanups in the VM-Enter flows

   - Stop enabling VMFUNC for L1 purely to document that KVM doesn't
     support EPTP switching (or any other VM function) for L1

   - Fix a crash when using eVMCS's enlighted MSR bitmaps

  Generic:

   - Clean up the hardware enable and initialization flow, which was
     scattered around multiple arch-specific hooks. Instead, just let
     the arch code call into generic code. Both x86 and ARM should
     benefit from not having to fight common KVM code's notion of how to
     do initialization

   - Account allocations in generic kvm_arch_alloc_vm()

   - Fix a memory leak if coalesced MMIO unregistration fails

  selftests:

   - On x86, cache the CPU vendor (AMD vs. Intel) and use the info to
     emit the correct hypercall instruction instead of relying on KVM to
     patch in VMMCALL

   - Use TAP interface for kvm_binary_stats_test and tsc_msrs_test"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add
   F_SEAL_EXEC") which permits the setting of the memfd execute bit at
   memfd creation time, with the option of sealing the state of the X
   bit.

 - Peter Xu adds a patch series ("mm/hugetlb: Make huge_pte_offset()
   thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
   related to PMD unsharing.

 - Several folioification patch serieses from Matthew Wilcox, Vishal
   Moola, Sidhartha Kumar and Lorenzo Stoakes

   which does perform some memcg maintenance and cleanup work.

 - SeongJae Park has added DAMOS filtering to DAMON, with the series
   "mm/damon/core: implement damos filter".

   These filters provide users with finer-grained control over DAMOS's
   actions. SeongJae has also done some DAMON cleanup work.

 - Kairui Song adds a series ("Clean up and fixes for swap").

 - Vernon Yang contributed the series "Clean up and refinement for maple
   tree".

   adds to MGLRU an LRU of memcgs, to improve the scalability of global
   reclaim.

 - David Hildenbrand has added some userfaultfd cleanup work in the
   series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the generic_writepages() library
   function in the series "remove generic_writepages".

   his series "Some small improvements for compaction".

 - Sidhartha Kumar is doing some maintenance work on struct page in his
   series "Get rid of tail page fields".

 - David Hildenbrand contributed some cleanup, bugfixing and
   generalization of pte management and of pte debugging in his series
   "mm: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on all architectures with
   swap PTEs".

 - Mel Gorman and Neil Brown have removed the __GFP_ATOMIC allocation
   flag in the series "Discard __GFP_ATOMIC".

 - Sergey Senozhatsky has improved zsmalloc's memory utilization with
   his series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable".

 - Joey Gouly has added prctl() support for prohibiting the creation of
   writeable+executable mappings.

   The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
   support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".

 - Waiman Long did some kmemleak cleanup and bugfixing in the series
   "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() &amp; fix UAF".

 - T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
   "mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

 - Jiaqi Yan has provided some enhancements to our memory error
   statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
   per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
   statistics".

 - Mel Gorman has a second and hopefully final shot at fixing a CPU-hog
   regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
   during compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig does some vmalloc maintenance work in the series
   "cleanup vfree and vunmap".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed block_device_operations.rw_page() in
   ths series "remove -&gt;rw_page".

 - We get some maple_tree improvements and cleanups in Liam Howlett's
   series "VMA tree type safety and remove __vma_adjust()".

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has done some work on the maintainability of our
   vm_flags handling in the series "introduce vm_flags modifier
   functions".

 - Some pagemap cleanup and generalization work in Mike Rapoport's
   series "mm, arch: add generic implementation of pfn_valid() for
   FLATMEM" and "fixups for generic implementation of pfn_valid()"

 - Baoquan He has done some work to make /proc/vmallocinfo and
   /proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
   "mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

 - Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

 - Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush
   IPI rates with the series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing".

 - Arnd Bergmann has some objtool fixups in "objtool warning fixes".

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Support for arm64 SME 2 and 2.1. SME2 introduces a new 512-bit
   architectural register (ZT0, for the look-up table feature) that
   Linux needs to save/restore

 - Include TPIDR2 in the signal context and add the corresponding
   kselftests

 - Perf updates: Arm SPEv1.2 support, HiSilicon uncore PMU updates, ACPI
   support to the Marvell DDR and TAD PMU drivers, reset DTM_PMU_CONFIG
   (ARM CMN) at probe time

 - Support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS on arm64

 - Permit EFI boot with MMU and caches on. Instead of cleaning the
   entire loaded kernel image to the PoC and disabling the MMU and
   caches before branching to the kernel bare metal entry point, leave
   the MMU and caches enabled and rely on EFI's cacheable 1:1 mapping of
   all of system RAM to populate the initial page tables

 - Expose the AArch32 (compat) ELF_HWCAP features to user in an arm64
   kernel (the arm32 kernel only defines the values)

 - Harden the arm64 shadow call stack pointer handling: stash the shadow
   stack pointer in the task struct on interrupt, load it directly from
   this structure

 - Signal handling cleanups to remove redundant validation of size
   information and avoid reading the same data from userspace twice

 - Refactor the hwcap macros to make use of the automatically generated
   ID registers. It should make new hwcaps writing less error prone

 - Further arm64 sysreg conversion and some fixes

 - arm64 kselftest fixes and improvements

 - Pointer authentication cleanups: don't sign leaf functions, unify
   asm-arch manipulation

 - Pseudo-NMI code generation optimisations

 - Minor fixes for SME and TPIDR2 handling

 - Miscellaneous updates: ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER is now selectable,
   replace strtobool() to kstrtobool() in the cpufeature.c code, apply
   dynamic shadow call stack in two passes, intercept pfn changes in
   set_pte_at() without the required break-before-make sequence, attempt
   to dump all instructions on unhandled kernel faults

* tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (130 commits)
