James Harvey reported a livelock that was introduced by commit
d012a06ab1d23 ("Revert "KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant pages when
removing a memslot"").

The livelock occurs because kvm_mmu_zap_all() as it exists today will
voluntarily reschedule and drop KVM's mmu_lock, which allows other vCPUs
to add shadow pages.  With enough vCPUs, kvm_mmu_zap_all() can get stuck
in an infinite loop as it can never zap all pages before observing lock
contention or the need to reschedule.  The equivalent of kvm_mmu_zap_all()
that was in use at the time of the reverted commit (4e103134b8623, "KVM:
x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant pages when removing a memslot") employed
a fast invalidate mechanism and was not susceptible to the above livelock.

There are three ways to fix the livelock:

- Reverting the revert (commit d012a06ab1d23) is not a viable option as
  the revert is needed to fix a regression that occurs when the guest has
  one or more assigned devices.  It's unlikely we'll root cause the device
  assignment regression soon enough to fix the regression timely.

- Remove the conditional reschedule from kvm_mmu_zap_all().  However, although
  removing the reschedule would be a smaller code change, it's less safe
  in the sense that the resulting kvm_mmu_zap_all() hasn't been used in
  the wild for flushing memslots since the fast invalidate mechanism was
  introduced by commit 6ca18b6950f8d ("KVM: x86: use the fast way to
  invalidate all pages"), back in 2013.

- Reintroduce the fast invalidate mechanism and use it when zapping shadow
  pages in response to a memslot being deleted/moved, which is what this
  patch does.

For all intents and purposes, this is a revert of commit ea145aacf4ae8
("Revert "KVM: MMU: fast invalidate all pages"") and a partial revert of
commit 7390de1e99a70 ("Revert "KVM: x86: use the fast way to invalidate
all pages""), i.e. restores the behavior of commit 5304b8d37c2a5 ("KVM:
MMU: fast invalidate all pages") and commit 6ca18b6950f8d ("KVM: x86:
use the fast way to invalidate all pages") respectively.

Emulation of VMPTRST can incorrectly inject a page fault
when passed an operand that points to an MMIO address.
The page fault will use uninitialized kernel stack memory
as the CR2 and error code.

The right behavior would be to abort the VM with a KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR
exit to userspace; however, it is not an easy fix, so for now just ensure
that the error code and CR2 are zero.

The implementation of vmread to memory is still incomplete, as it
lacks the ability to do vmread to I/O memory just like vmptrst.

KVM guests with commit c8c4076723da ("x86/timer: Skip PIT initialization on
modern chipsets") applied to guest kernel have been observed to have
unusually higher CPU usage with symptoms of increase in vm exits for HLT
and MSW_WRITE (MSR_IA32_TSCDEADLINE).

This is caused by older QEMUs lacking support for X86_FEATURE_ARAT.  lapic
clock retains CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP and nohz stays inactive.  There's no
usable broadcast device either.

Do the PIT initialization if guest CPU lacks X86_FEATURE_ARAT.  On real
hardware it shouldn't matter as ARAT and DEADLINE come together.

This reverts commit 558682b5291937a70748d36fd9ba757fb25b99ae.

Chris Wilson reports that it breaks his CPU hotplug test scripts.  In
particular, it breaks offlining and then re-onlining the boot CPU, which
we treat specially (and the BIOS does too).

The symptoms are that we can offline the CPU, but it then does not come
back online again:

    smpboot: CPU 0 is now offline
    smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 0 APIC 0x0
    smpboot: do_boot_cpu failed(-1) to wakeup CPU#0

Thomas says he knows why it's broken (my personal suspicion: our magic
handling of the "cpu0_logical_apicid" thing), but for 5.3 the right fix
is to just revert it, since we've never touched the LDR bits before, and
it's not worth the risk to do anything else at this stage.

[ Hotpluging of the boot CPU is special anyway, and should be off by
  default. See the "BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0" config option and the
  cpu0_hotplug kernel parameter.

  In general you should not do it, and it has various known limitations
  (hibernate and suspend require the boot CPU, for example).

  But it should work, even if the boot CPU is special and needs careful
  treatment       - Linus ]

<title>x86/purgatory: Change compiler flags from -mcmodel=kernel to -mcmodel=large to fix kexec relocation errors</title>

<id>e16c2983fba0fa6763e43ad10916be35e3d8dc05</id>
<content type='text'>
The last change to this Makefile caused relocation errors when loading
a kdump kernel.  Restore -mcmodel=large (not -mcmodel=kernel),
-ffreestanding, and -fno-zero-initialized-bsss, without reverting to
the former practice of resetting KBUILD_CFLAGS.

Purgatory.ro is a standalone binary that is not linked against the
rest of the kernel.  Its image is copied into an array that is linked
to the kernel, and from there kexec relocates it wherever it desires.

With the previous change to compiler flags, the error "kexec: Overflow
in relocation type 11 value 0x11fffd000" was encountered when trying
to load the crash kernel.  This is from kexec code trying to relocate
the purgatory.ro object.

From the error message, relocation type 11 is R_X86_64_32S.  The
x86_64 ABI says:

  "The R_X86_64_32 and R_X86_64_32S relocations truncate the
   computed value to 32-bits.  The linker must verify that the
   generated value for the R_X86_64_32 (R_X86_64_32S) relocation
   zero-extends (sign-extends) to the original 64-bit value."

This type of relocation doesn't work when kexec chooses to place the
purgatory binary in memory that is not reachable with 32 bit
addresses.

The compiler flag -mcmodel=kernel allows those type of relocations to
be emitted, so revert to using -mcmodel=large as was done before.

Also restore the -ffreestanding and -fno-zero-initialized-bss flags
because they are appropriate for a stand alone piece of object code
which doesn't explicitly zero the bss, and one other report has said
undefined symbols are encountered without -ffreestanding.

These identical compiler flag changes need to happen for every object
that becomes part of the purgatory.ro object, so gather them together
first into PURGATORY_CFLAGS_REMOVE and PURGATORY_CFLAGS, and then
apply them to each of the objects that have C source.  Do not apply
any of these flags to kexec-purgatory.o, which is not part of the
standalone object but part of the kernel proper.

When the 'start' parameter is &gt;=  0xFF000000 on 32-bit
systems, or &gt;= 0xFFFFFFFF'FF000000 on 64-bit systems,
fill_gva_list() gets into an infinite loop.

With such inputs, 'cur' overflows after adding HV_TLB_FLUSH_UNIT
and always compares as less than end.  Memory is filled with
guest virtual addresses until the system crashes.

Fix this by never incrementing 'cur' to be larger than 'end'.

<title>x86/uaccess: Don't leak the AC flags into __get_user() argument evaluation</title>

Identical to __put_user(); the __get_user() argument evalution will too
leak UBSAN crud into the __uaccess_begin() / __uaccess_end() region.
While uncommon this was observed to happen for:

  drivers/xen/gntdev.c: if (__get_user(old_status, batch-&gt;status[i]))

where UBSAN added array bound checking.

This complements commit:

  6ae865615fc4 ("x86/uaccess: Dont leak the AC flag into __put_user() argument evaluation")
