commit caf1ff26e1aa178133df68ac3d40815fed2187d9 upstream.

These days, we experienced one guest crash with 8 cores and 3 disks,
with qemu error logs as bellow:

qemu-system-x86_64: /build/qemu-2.0.0/kvm-all.c:984:
kvm_irqchip_commit_routes: Assertion `ret == 0' failed.

And then we found one patch(bdf026317d) in qemu tree, which said
could fix this bug.

Execute the following script will reproduce the BUG quickly:

irq_affinity.sh
========================================================================

vda_irq_num=25
vdb_irq_num=27
while [ 1 ]
do
    for irq in {1,2,4,8,10,20,40,80}
        do
            echo $irq &gt; /proc/irq/$vda_irq_num/smp_affinity
            echo $irq &gt; /proc/irq/$vdb_irq_num/smp_affinity
            dd if=/dev/vda of=/dev/zero bs=4K count=100 iflag=direct
            dd if=/dev/vdb of=/dev/zero bs=4K count=100 iflag=direct
        done
done
========================================================================

The following qemu log is added in the qemu code and is displayed when
this bug reproduced:

kvm_irqchip_commit_routes: max gsi: 1008, nr_allocated_irq_routes: 1024,
irq_routes-&gt;nr: 1024, gsi_count: 1024.

That's to say when irq_routes-&gt;nr == 1024, there are 1024 routing entries,
but in the kernel code when routes-&gt;nr &gt;= 1024, will just return -EINVAL;

The nr is the number of the routing entries which is in of
[1 ~ KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES], not the index in [0 ~ KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES - 1].

This patch fix the BUG above.

<title>KVM: fix spin_lock_init order on x86</title>

commit e9ad4ec8379ad1ba6f68b8ca1c26b50b5ae0a327 upstream.

Moving the initialization earlier is needed in 4.6 because
kvm_arch_init_vm is now using mmu_lock, causing lockdep to
complain:

[  284.440294] INFO: trying to register non-static key.
[  284.445259] the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
[  284.450736] turning off the locking correctness validator.
...
[  284.528318]  [&lt;ffffffff810aecc3&gt;] lock_acquire+0xd3/0x240
[  284.533733]  [&lt;ffffffffa0305aa0&gt;] ? kvm_page_track_register_notifier+0x20/0x60 [kvm]

[  284.574740]  [&lt;ffffffffa02bff3f&gt;] kvm_dev_ioctl+0xbf/0x4d0 [kvm]

However, it also helps fixing a preexisting problem, which is why this
patch is also good for stable kernels: kvm_create_vm was incrementing
current-&gt;mm-&gt;mm_count but not decrementing it at the out_err label (in
case kvm_init_mmu_notifier failed).  The new initialization order makes
it possible to add the required mmdrop without adding a new error label.

commit d7444794a02ff655eda87e3cc54e86b940e7736f upstream.

In async_pf we try to allocate with NOWAIT to get an element quickly
or fail. This code also handle failures gracefully. Lets silence
potential page allocation failures under load.

commit 8f4216c7d28976f7ec1b2bcbfa0a9f787133c45e upstream.

Currently, if we had a zero length mmio eventfd assigned on
KVM_MMIO_BUS. It will never be found by kvm_io_bus_cmp() since it
always compares the kvm_io_range() with the length that guest
wrote. This will cause e.g for vhost, kick will be trapped by qemu
userspace instead of vhost. Fixing this by using zero length if an
iodevice is zero length.

<title>arm/arm64: KVM: Keep elrsr/aisr in sync with software model</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ae705930fca6322600690df9dc1c7d0516145a93 upstream.

There is an interesting bug in the vgic code, which manifests itself
when the KVM run loop has a signal pending or needs a vmid generation
rollover after having disabled interrupts but before actually switching
to the guest.

In this case, we flush the vgic as usual, but we sync back the vgic
state and exit to userspace before entering the guest.  The consequence
is that we will be syncing the list registers back to the software model
using the GICH_ELRSR and GICH_EISR from the last execution of the guest,
potentially overwriting a list register containing an interrupt.

This showed up during migration testing where we would capture a state
where the VM has masked the arch timer but there were no interrupts,
resulting in a hung test.

commit ae705930fca6322600690df9dc1c7d0516145a93 upstream.

There is an interesting bug in the vgic code, which manifests itself
when the KVM run loop has a signal pending or needs a vmid generation
rollover after having disabled interrupts but before actually switching
to the guest.

In this case, we flush the vgic as usual, but we sync back the vgic
state and exit to userspace before entering the guest.  The consequence
is that we will be syncing the list registers back to the software model
using the GICH_ELRSR and GICH_EISR from the last execution of the guest,
potentially overwriting a list register containing an interrupt.

This showed up during migration testing where we would capture a state
where the VM has masked the arch timer but there were no interrupts,
resulting in a hung test.

commit 05971120fca43e0357789a14b3386bb56eef2201 upstream.

It is curently possible to run a VM with architected timers support
without creating an in-kernel VGIC, which will result in interrupts from
the virtual timer going nowhere.

To address this issue, move the architected timers initialization to the
time when we run a VCPU for the first time, and then only initialize
(and enable) the architected timers if we have a properly created and
initialized in-kernel VGIC.

When injecting interrupts from the virtual timer to the vgic, the
current setup should ensure that this never calls an on-demand init of
the VGIC, which is the only call path that could return an error from
kvm_vgic_inject_irq(), so capture the return value and raise a warning
if there's an error there.

We also change the kvm_timer_init() function from returning an int to be
a void function, since the function always succeeds.

commit 71afaba4a2e98bb7bdeba5078370ab43d46e67a1 upstream.

As it stands, nothing prevents userspace from injecting an interrupt
before the guest's GIC is actually initialized.

This goes unnoticed so far (as everything is pretty much statically
allocated), but ends up exploding in a spectacular way once we switch
to a more dynamic allocation (the GIC data structure isn't there yet).

The fix is to test for the "ready" flag in the VGIC distributor before
trying to inject the interrupt. Note that in order to avoid breaking
userspace, we have to ignore what is essentially an error.

commit 1fa451bcc67fa921a04c5fac8dbcde7844d54512 upstream.

vgic_ioaddr_overlap claims to return a bool, but in reality it returns
an int. Shut sparse up by fixing the type signature.

commit 63afbe7a0ac184ef8485dac4914e87b211b5bfaa upstream.

If the physical address of GICV isn't page-aligned, then we end up
creating a stage-2 mapping of the page containing it, which causes us to
map neighbouring memory locations directly into the guest.

As an example, consider a platform with GICV at physical 0x2c02f000
running a 64k-page host kernel. If qemu maps this into the guest at
0x80010000, then guest physical addresses 0x80010000 - 0x8001efff will
map host physical region 0x2c020000 - 0x2c02efff. Accesses to these
physical regions may cause UNPREDICTABLE behaviour, for example, on the
Juno platform this will cause an SError exception to EL3, which brings
down the entire physical CPU resulting in RCU stalls / HYP panics / host
crashing / wasted weeks of debugging.

SBSA recommends that systems alias the 4k GICV across the bounding 64k
region, in which case GICV physical could be described as 0x2c020000 in
the above scenario.

This patch fixes the problem by failing the vgic probe if the physical
base address or the size of GICV aren't page-aligned. Note that this
generated a warning in dmesg about freeing enabled IRQs, so I had to
move the IRQ enabling later in the probe.
