commit 90db10434b163e46da413d34db8d0e77404cc645 upstream.

No caller currently checks the return value of
kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev(). This is evil, as all callers silently go on
freeing their device. A stale reference will remain in the io_bus,
getting at least used again, when the iobus gets teared down on
kvm_destroy_vm() - leading to use after free errors.

There is nothing the callers could do, except retrying over and over
again.

So let's simply remove the bus altogether, print an error and make
sure no one can access this broken bus again (returning -ENOMEM on any
attempt to access it).

Fixes: e93f8a0f821e ("KVM: convert io_bus to SRCU")

commit df630b8c1e851b5e265dc2ca9c87222e342c093b upstream.

When releasing the bus, let's clear the bus pointers to mark it out. If
any further device unregister happens on this bus, we know that we're
done if we found the bus being released already.

commit 370a0ec1819990f8e2a93df7cc9c0146980ed45f upstream.

Currently, if a vcpu thread tries to change the active state of an
interrupt which is already on the same vcpu's AP list, it will loop
forever. Since the VGIC mmio handler is called after a vcpu has
already synced back the LR state to the struct vgic_irq, we can just
let it proceed safely.

commit 0bdbf3b071986ba80731203683cf623d5c0cacb1 upstream.

The IRQFD framework calls the architecture dependent function
twice if the corresponding GSI type is edge triggered. For ARM,
the function kvm_set_msi() is getting called twice whenever the
IRQFD receives the event signal. The rest of the code path is
trying to inject the MSI without any validation checks. No need
to call the function vgic_its_inject_msi() second time to avoid
an unnecessary overhead in IRQ queue logic. It also avoids the
possibility of VM seeing the MSI twice.

Simple fix, return -1 if the argument 'level' value is zero.

Dmitry Vyukov reported that the syzkaller fuzzer triggered a
deadlock in the vgic setup code when an error was detected, as
the cleanup code tries to take a lock that is already held by
the setup code.

The fix is to avoid retaking the lock when cleaning up, by
telling the cleanup function that we already hold it.

<title>KVM: arm64: Access CNTHCTL_EL2 bit fields correctly on VHE systems</title>

<id>488f94d7212b00a2ec72fb886b155f1b04c5aa98</id>
<content type='text'>
Current KVM world switch code is unintentionally setting wrong bits to
CNTHCTL_EL2 when E2H == 1, which may allow guest OS to access physical
timer.  Bit positions of CNTHCTL_EL2 are changing depending on
HCR_EL2.E2H bit.  EL1PCEN and EL1PCTEN are 1st and 0th bits when E2H is
not set, but they are 11th and 10th bits respectively when E2H is set.

In fact, on VHE we only need to set those bits once, not for every world
switch. This is because the host kernel runs in EL2 with HCR_EL2.TGE ==
1, which makes those bits have no effect for the host kernel execution.
So we just set those bits once for guests, and that's it.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: Fix occasional warning from the timer work function</title>

<id>63e41226afc3f7a044b70325566fa86ac3142538</id>
<content type='text'>
When a VCPU blocks (WFI) and has programmed the vtimer, we program a
soft timer to expire in the future to wake up the vcpu thread when
appropriate.  Because such as wake up involves a vcpu kick, and the
timer expire function can get called from interrupt context, and the
kick may sleep, we have to schedule the kick in the work function.

The work function currently has a warning that gets raised if it turns
out that the timer shouldn't fire when it's run, which was added because
the idea was that in that case the work should never have been cancelled.

However, it turns out that this whole thing is racy and we can get
spurious warnings.  The problem is that we clear the armed flag in the
work function, which may run in parallel with the
kvm_timer_unschedule-&gt;timer_disarm() call.  This results in a possible
situation where the timer_disarm() call does not call
cancel_work_sync(), which effectively synchronizes the completion of the
work function with running the VCPU.  As a result, the VCPU thread
proceeds before the work function completees, causing changes to the
timer state such that kvm_timer_should_fire(vcpu) returns false in the
work function.

All we do in the work function is to kick the VCPU, and an occasional
rare extra kick never harmed anyone.  Since the race above is extremely
rare, we don't bother checking if the race happens but simply remove the
check and the clearing of the armed flag from the work function.

    CR2: 0000000000000008

The syzkaller folks reported a NULL pointer dereference that due to
unregister an consumer which fails registration before. The syzkaller
creates two VMs w/ an equal eventfd occasionally. So the second VM
fails to register an irqbypass consumer. It will make irqfd as inactive
and queue an workqueue work to shutdown irqfd and unregister the irqbypass
consumer when eventfd is closed. However, the second consumer has been
initialized though it fails registration. So the token(same as the first
VM's) is taken to unregister the consumer through the workqueue, the
consumer of the first VM is found and unregistered, then NULL deref incurred
in the path of deleting consumer from the consumers list.

This patch fixes it by making irq_bypass_register/unregister_consumer()
looks for the consumer entry based on consumer pointer itself instead of
token matching.

    CR2: 0000000000000008

The syzkaller folks reported a NULL pointer dereference that due to
unregister an consumer which fails registration before. The syzkaller
creates two VMs w/ an equal eventfd occasionally. So the second VM
fails to register an irqbypass consumer. It will make irqfd as inactive
and queue an workqueue work to shutdown irqfd and unregister the irqbypass
consumer when eventfd is closed. However, the second consumer has been
initialized though it fails registration. So the token(same as the first
VM's) is taken to unregister the consumer through the workqueue, the
consumer of the first VM is found and unregistered, then NULL deref incurred
in the path of deleting consumer from the consumers list.

This patch fixes it by making irq_bypass_register/unregister_consumer()
looks for the consumer entry based on consumer pointer itself instead of
token matching.

Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
  timers/timekeeping.

   - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
     helpful and caused more confusion than clarity

   - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
     the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
     timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
     some time ago.

     That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.

  Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
  manual mopping up"
