<title>KVM: selftests: Expand x86's sregs test to cover illegal CR0 values</title>

<content type='text'>
Add coverage to x86's set_sregs_test to verify KVM rejects vendor-agnostic
illegal CR0 values, i.e. CR0 values whose legality doesn't depend on the
current VMX mode.  KVM historically has neglected to reject bad CR0s from
userspace, i.e. would happily accept a completely bogus CR0 via
KVM_SET_SREGS{2}.

Punt VMX specific subtests to future work, as they would require quite a
bit more effort, and KVM gets coverage for CR0 checks in general through
other means, e.g. KVM-Unit-Tests.

Verify that VM and vCPU binary stats files are usable even after userspace
has put its last direct reference to the VM.  This is a regression test
for a UAF bug where KVM didn't gift the stats files a reference to the VM.

<content type='text'>
Expand the binary stats test to verify that a stats fd can be dup()'d
and read, to (very) roughly simulate userspace passing around the file.
Adding the dup() test is primarily an intermediate step towards verifying
that userspace can read VM/vCPU stats before _and_ after userspace closes
its copy of the VM fd; the dup() test itself is only mildly interesting.

Verify that KVM doesn't artificially limit KVM_GET_STATS_FD to a single
file per VM/vCPU.  There's no known use case for getting multiple stats
fds, but it should work, and more importantly creating multiple files will
make it easier to test that KVM correct manages VM refcounts for stats
files.

Move the stats fd cleanup code into stats_test() and drop the
superfluous vm_stats_test() and vcpu_stats_test() helpers in order to
decouple creation of the stats file from consuming/testing the file
(deduping code is a bonus).  This will make it easier to test various
edge cases related to stats, e.g. that userspace can dup() a stats fd,
that userspace can have multiple stats files for a singleVM/vCPU, etc.

Use pread() with an explicit offset when reading the header and the header
name for a binary stats fd so that the common helper and the binary stats
test don't subtly rely on the file effectively being untouched, e.g. to
allow multiple reads of the header, name, etc.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Eager page splitting optimization for dirty logging, optionally
     allowing for a VM to avoid the cost of hugepage splitting in the
     stage-2 fault path.

   - Arm FF-A proxy for pKVM, allowing a pKVM host to safely interact
     with services that live in the Secure world. pKVM intervenes on
     FF-A calls to guarantee the host doesn't misuse memory donated to
     the hyp or a pKVM guest.

   - Support for running the split hypervisor with VHE enabled, known as
     'hVHE' mode. This is extremely useful for testing the split
     hypervisor on VHE-only systems, and paves the way for new use cases
     that depend on having two TTBRs available at EL2.

   - Generalized framework for configurable ID registers from userspace.
     KVM/arm64 currently prevents arbitrary CPU feature set
     configuration from userspace, but the intent is to relax this
     limitation and allow userspace to select a feature set consistent
     with the CPU.

   - Enable the use of Branch Target Identification (FEAT_BTI) in the
     hypervisor.

   - Use a separate set of pointer authentication keys for the
     hypervisor when running in protected mode, as the host is untrusted
     at runtime.

   - Ensure timer IRQs are consistently released in the init failure
     paths.

   - Avoid trapping CTR_EL0 on systems with Enhanced Virtualization
     Traps (FEAT_EVT), as it is a register commonly read from userspace.

   - Erratum workaround for the upcoming AmpereOne part, which has
     broken hardware A/D state management.

  RISC-V:

   - Redirect AMO load/store misaligned traps to KVM guest

   - Trap-n-emulate AIA in-kernel irqchip for KVM guest

   - Svnapot support for KVM Guest

  s390:

   - New uvdevice secret API

   - CMM selftest and fixes

   - fix racy access to target CPU for diag 9c

  x86:

   - Fix missing/incorrect #GP checks on ENCLS

   - Use standard mmu_notifier hooks for handling APIC access page

   - Drop now unnecessary TR/TSS load after VM-Exit on AMD

   - Print more descriptive information about the status of SEV and
     SEV-ES during module load

   - Add a test for splitting and reconstituting hugepages during and
     after dirty logging

   - Add support for CPU pinning in demand paging test

   - Add support for AMD PerfMonV2, with a variety of cleanups and minor
     fixes included along the way

   - Add a "nx_huge_pages=never" option to effectively avoid creating NX
     hugepage recovery threads (because nx_huge_pages=off can be toggled
     at runtime)

   - Move handling of PAT out of MTRR code and dedup SVM+VMX code

   - Fix output of PIC poll command emulation when there's an interrupt

   - Add a maintainer's handbook to document KVM x86 processes,
     preferred coding style, testing expectations, etc.

   - Misc cleanups, fixes and comments

  Generic:

   - Miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanups

  Selftests:

   - Generate dependency files so that partial rebuilds work as
     expected"
