commit ef3e40a7ea8dbe2abd0a345032cd7d5023b9684f upstream.

When using the PtrAuth feature in a guest, we need to save the host's
keys before allowing the guest to program them. For that, we dump
them in a per-CPU data structure (the so called host context).

But both call sites that do this are in preemptible context,
which may end up in disaster should the vcpu thread get preempted
before reentering the guest.

Instead, save the keys eagerly on each vcpu_load(). This has an
increased overhead, but is at least safe.

<title>KVM: arm64: Synchronize sysreg state on injecting an AArch32 exception</title>

commit 0370964dd3ff7d3d406f292cb443a927952cbd05 upstream.

On a VHE system, the EL1 state is left in the CPU most of the time,
and only syncronized back to memory when vcpu_put() is called (most
of the time on preemption).

Which means that when injecting an exception, we'd better have a way
to either:
(1) write directly to the EL1 sysregs
(2) synchronize the state back to memory, and do the changes there

For an AArch64, we already do (1), so we are safe. Unfortunately,
doing the same thing for AArch32 would be pretty invasive. Instead,
we can easily implement (2) by calling the put/load architectural
backends, and keep preemption disabled. We can then reload the
state back into EL1.

<title>KVM: x86: Fix APIC page invalidation race</title>

commit e649b3f0188f8fd34dd0dde8d43fd3312b902fb2 upstream.

Commit b1394e745b94 ("KVM: x86: fix APIC page invalidation") tried
to fix inappropriate APIC page invalidation by re-introducing arch
specific kvm_arch_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() and calling it from
kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start. However, the patch left a
possible race where the VMCS APIC address cache is updated *before*
it is unmapped:

  (Invalidator) kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
  (Invalidator) kvm_make_all_cpus_request(kvm, KVM_REQ_APIC_PAGE_RELOAD)
  (KVM VCPU) vcpu_enter_guest()
  (KVM VCPU) kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page()
  (Invalidator) actually unmap page

Because of the above race, there can be a mismatch between the
host physical address stored in the APIC_ACCESS_PAGE VMCS field and
the host physical address stored in the EPT entry for the APIC GPA
(0xfee0000).  When this happens, the processor will not trap APIC
accesses, and will instead show the raw contents of the APIC-access page.
Because Windows OS periodically checks for unexpected modifications to
the LAPIC register, this will show up as a BSOD crash with BugCheck
CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION (109) we are currently seeing in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1751017.

The root cause of the issue is that kvm_arch_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
cannot guarantee that no additional references are taken to the pages in
the range before kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end().  Fortunately,
this case is supported by the MMU notifier API, as documented in
include/linux/mmu_notifier.h:

	 * If the subsystem
         * can't guarantee that no additional references are taken to
         * the pages in the range, it has to implement the
         * invalidate_range() notifier to remove any references taken
         * after invalidate_range_start().

The fix therefore is to reload the APIC-access page field in the VMCS
from kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() instead of ..._range_start().

[ Upstream commit ba1ed9e17b581c9a204ec1d72d40472dd8557edd ]

There is no point in accessing the HW when writing to any of the
ISPENDR/ICPENDR registers from userspace, as only the guest should
be allowed to change the HW state.

Introduce new userspace-specific accessors that deal solely with
the virtual state. Note that the API differs from that of GICv3,
where userspace exclusively uses ISPENDR to set the state. Too
bad we can't reuse it.

[ Upstream commit 9a50ebbffa9862db7604345f5fd763122b0f6fed ]

When a guest tries to read the active state of its interrupts,
we currently just return whatever state we have in memory. This
means that if such an interrupt lives in a List Register on another
CPU, we fail to obsertve the latest active state for this interrupt.

In order to remedy this, stop all the other vcpus so that they exit
and we can observe the most recent value for the state. This is
similar to what we are doing for the write side of the same
registers, and results in new MMIO handlers for userspace (which
do not need to stop the guest, as it is supposed to be stopped
already).

commit 0225fd5e0a6a32af7af0aefac45c8ebf19dc5183 upstream.

In the unlikely event that a 32bit vcpu traps into the hypervisor
on an instruction that is located right at the end of the 32bit
range, the emulation of that instruction is going to increment
PC past the 32bit range. This isn't great, as userspace can then
observe this value and get a bit confused.

Conversly, userspace can do things like (in the context of a 64bit
guest that is capable of 32bit EL0) setting PSTATE to AArch64-EL0,
set PC to a 64bit value, change PSTATE to AArch32-USR, and observe
that PC hasn't been truncated. More confusion.

Fix both by:
- truncating PC increments for 32bit guests
- sanitizing all 32bit regs every time a core reg is changed by
  userspace, and that PSTATE indicates a 32bit mode.

<id>b3f15ec3d809ccf2e171ca4e272a220d3c1a3e05</id>
<content type='text'>
With VHE, running a vCPU always requires the sequence:

1. kvm_arm_vhe_guest_enter();
2. kvm_vcpu_run_vhe();
3. kvm_arm_vhe_guest_exit()

... and as we invoke this from the shared arm/arm64 KVM code, 32-bit arm
has to provide stubs for all three functions.

To simplify the common code, and make it easier to make further
modifications to the arm64-specific portions in the near future, let's
fold kvm_arm_vhe_guest_enter() and kvm_arm_vhe_guest_exit() into
kvm_vcpu_run_vhe().

The 32-bit stubs for kvm_arm_vhe_guest_enter() and
kvm_arm_vhe_guest_exit() are removed, as they are no longer used. The
32-bit stub for kvm_vcpu_run_vhe() is left as-is.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

With VHE, running a vCPU always requires the sequence:

1. kvm_arm_vhe_guest_enter();
2. kvm_vcpu_run_vhe();
3. kvm_arm_vhe_guest_exit()

... and as we invoke this from the shared arm/arm64 KVM code, 32-bit arm
has to provide stubs for all three functions.

To simplify the common code, and make it easier to make further
modifications to the arm64-specific portions in the near future, let's

<title>KVM: Disable preemption in kvm_get_running_vcpu()</title>

Accessing a per-cpu variable only makes sense when preemption is
disabled (and the kernel does check this when the right debug options
are switched on).

For kvm_get_running_vcpu(), it is fine to return the value after
re-enabling preemption, as the preempt notifiers will make sure that
this is kept consistent across task migration (the comment above the
function hints at it, but lacks the crucial preemption management).

While we're at it, move the comment from the ARM code, which explains
why the whole thing works.

Fixes: 7495e22bb165 ("KVM: Move running VCPU from ARM to common code").
