commit b5020a8e6b54d2ece80b1e7dedb33c79a40ebd47 upstream.

Syzbot reports crashes in kvm_irqfd_assign(), caused by use-after-free
when kvm_irqfd_assign() and kvm_irqfd_deassign() run in parallel
for one specific eventfd. When the assign path hasn't finished but irqfd
has been added to kvm-&gt;irqfds.items list, another thead may deassign the
eventfd and free struct kvm_kernel_irqfd(). The assign path then uses
the struct kvm_kernel_irqfd that has been freed by deassign path. To avoid
such issue, keep irqfd under kvm-&gt;irq_srcu protection after the irqfd
has been added to kvm-&gt;irqfds.items list, and call synchronize_srcu()
in irq_shutdown() to make sure that irqfd has been fully initialized in
the assign path.

commit 5d81f7dc9bca4f4963092433e27b508cbe524a32 upstream.

Now that all our infrastructure is in place, let's expose the
availability of ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 to guests. We take this opportunity
to tidy up a couple of SMCCC constants.

commit 55e3748e8902ff641e334226bdcb432f9a5d78d3 upstream.

In order to offer ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 support to guests, we need
a bit of infrastructure.

Let's add a flag indicating whether or not the guest uses
SSBD mitigation. Depending on the state of this flag, allow
KVM to disable ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 before entering the guest,
and enable it when exiting it.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: Do not use kern_hyp_va() with kvm_vgic_global_state</title>

Commit 44a497abd621a71c645f06d3d545ae2f46448830 upstream.

kvm_vgic_global_state is part of the read-only section, and is
usually accessed using a PC-relative address generation (adrp + add).

It is thus useless to use kern_hyp_va() on it, and actively problematic
if kern_hyp_va() becomes non-idempotent. On the other hand, there is
no way that the compiler is going to guarantee that such access is
always PC relative.

So let's bite the bullet and provide our own accessor.

Commit 36989e7fd386a9a5822c48691473863f8fbb404d upstream.

kvm_host_cpu_state is a per-cpu allocation made from kvm_arch_init()
used to store the host EL1 registers when KVM switches to a guest.

Make it easier for ASM to generate pointers into this per-cpu memory
by making it a static allocation.

[ Upstream commit 5e1ca5e23b167987d5b6d8b08f2d5b7dd2d13f49 ]

It's possible for userspace to control n. Sanitize n when using it as an
array index.

Note that while it appears that n must be bound to the interval [0,3]
due to the way it is extracted from addr, we cannot guarantee that
compiler transformations (and/or future refactoring) will ensure this is
the case, and given this is a slow path it's better to always perform
the masking.

Add that requirement as a comment to the definition and take the lock

commit bf308242ab98b5d1648c3663e753556bef9bec01 upstream.

kvm_read_guest() will eventually look up in kvm_memslots(), which requires
either to hold the kvm-&gt;slots_lock or to be inside a kvm-&gt;srcu critical
section.
In contrast to x86 and s390 we don't take the SRCU lock on every guest
exit, so we have to do it individually for each kvm_read_guest() call.

Provide a wrapper which does that and use that everywhere.

Note that ending the SRCU critical section before returning from the
kvm_read_guest() wrapper is safe, because the data has been *copied*, so
we don't need to rely on valid references to the memslot anymore.

commit 85bd0ba1ff9875798fad94218b627ea9f768f3c3 upstream.

Although we've implemented PSCI 0.1, 0.2 and 1.0, we expose either 0.1
or 1.0 to a guest, defaulting to the latest version of the PSCI
implementation that is compatible with the requested version. This is
no different from doing a firmware upgrade on KVM.

But in order to give a chance to hypothetical badly implemented guests
that would have a fit by discovering something other than PSCI 0.2,
let's provide a new API that allows userspace to pick one particular
version of the API.

This is implemented as a new class of "firmware" registers, where
we expose the PSCI version. This allows the PSCI version to be
save/restored as part of a guest migration, and also set to
any supported version if the guest requires it.
