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.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: Close VMID generation race</title>

commit f0cf47d939d0b4b4f660c5aaa4276fa3488f3391 upstream.

Before entering the guest, we check whether our VMID is still
part of the current generation. In order to avoid taking a lock,
we start with checking that the generation is still current, and
only if not current do we take the lock, recheck, and update the
generation and VMID.

This leaves open a small race: A vcpu can bump up the global
generation number as well as the VM's, but has not updated
the VMID itself yet.

At that point another vcpu from the same VM comes in, checks
the generation (and finds it not needing anything), and jumps
into the guest. At this point, we end-up with two vcpus belonging
to the same VM running with two different VMIDs. Eventually, the
VMID used by the second vcpu will get reassigned, and things will
really go wrong...

A simple solution would be to drop this initial check, and always take
the lock. This is likely to cause performance issues. A middle ground
is to convert the spinlock to a rwlock, and only take the read lock
on the fast path. If the check fails at that point, drop it and
acquire the write lock, rechecking the condition.

This ensures that the above scenario doesn't occur.

<content type='text'>
commit 7d8b44c54e0c7c8f688e3a07f17e6083f849f01f upstream.

vgic_copy_lpi_list() parses the LPI list and picks LPIs targeting
a given vcpu. We allocate the array containing the intids before taking
the lpi_list_lock, which means we can have an array size that is not
equal to the number of LPIs.

This is particularly obvious when looking at the path coming from
vgic_enable_lpis, which is not a command, and thus can run in parallel
with commands:

vcpu 0:                                        vcpu 1:
vgic_enable_lpis
  its_sync_lpi_pending_table
    vgic_copy_lpi_list
      intids = kmalloc_array(irq_count)
                                               MAPI(lpi targeting vcpu 0)
      list_for_each_entry(lpi_list_head)
        intids[i++] = irq-&gt;intid;

At that stage, we will happily overrun the intids array. Boo. An easy
fix is is to break once the array is full. The MAPI command will update
the config anyway, and we won't miss a thing. We also make sure that
lpi_list_count is read exactly once, so that further updates of that
value will not affect the array bound check.

On guest exit, and when using GICv2 on GICv3, we use a dsb(st) to
force synchronization between the memory-mapped guest view and
the system-register view that the hypervisor uses.

This is incorrect, as the spec calls out the need for "a DSB whose
required access type is both loads and stores with any Shareability
attribute", while we're only synchronizing stores.

We also lack an isb after the dsb to ensure that the latter has
actually been executed before we start reading stuff from the sysregs.

The fix is pretty easy: turn dsb(st) into dsb(sy), and slap an isb()
just after.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Don't populate multiple LRs with the same vintid</title>

<id>16ca6a607d84bef0129698d8d808f501afd08d43</id>
<content type='text'>
The vgic code is trying to be clever when injecting GICv2 SGIs,
and will happily populate LRs with the same interrupt number if
they come from multiple vcpus (after all, they are distinct
interrupt sources).

Unfortunately, this is against the letter of the architecture,
and the GICv2 architecture spec says "Each valid interrupt stored
in the List registers must have a unique VirtualID for that
virtual CPU interface.". GICv3 has similar (although slightly
ambiguous) restrictions.

This results in guests locking up when using GICv2-on-GICv3, for
example. The obvious fix is to stop trying so hard, and inject
a single vcpu per SGI per guest entry. After all, pending SGIs
with multiple source vcpus are pretty rare, and are mostly seen
in scenario where the physical CPUs are severely overcomitted.

But as we now only inject a single instance of a multi-source SGI per
vcpu entry, we may delay those interrupts for longer than strictly
necessary, and run the risk of injecting lower priority interrupts
in the meantime.

In order to address this, we adopt a three stage strategy:
- If we encounter a multi-source SGI in the AP list while computing
  its depth, we force the list to be sorted
- When populating the LRs, we prevent the injection of any interrupt
  of lower priority than that of the first multi-source SGI we've
  injected.
- Finally, the injection of a multi-source SGI triggers the request
  of a maintenance interrupt when there will be no pending interrupt
  in the LRs (HCR_NPIE).

At the point where the last pending interrupt in the LRs switches
from Pending to Active, the maintenance interrupt will be delivered,
allowing us to add the remaining SGIs using the same process.

On my GICv3 system, the following is printed to the kernel log at boot:

   kvm [1]: 8-bit VMID
   kvm [1]: IDMAP page: d20e35000
   kvm [1]: HYP VA range: 800000000000:ffffffffffff
   kvm [1]: vgic-v2@2c020000
   kvm [1]: GIC system register CPU interface enabled
   kvm [1]: vgic interrupt IRQ1
   kvm [1]: virtual timer IRQ4
   kvm [1]: Hyp mode initialized successfully

The KVM IDMAP is a mapping of a statically allocated kernel structure,
and so printing its physical address leaks the physical placement of
the kernel when physical KASLR in effect. So change the kvm_info() to
kvm_debug() to remove it from the log output.

While at it, trim the output a bit more: IRQ numbers can be found in
/proc/interrupts, and the HYP VA and vgic-v2 lines are not highly
informational either.

We currently don't allow resetting mapped IRQs from userspace, because
their state is controlled by the hardware.  But we do need to reset the
state when the VM is reset, so we provide a function for the 'owner' of
the mapped interrupt to reset the interrupt state.

Currently only the timer uses mapped interrupts, so we call this
function from the timer reset logic.

We currently don't allow resetting mapped IRQs from userspace, because
their state is controlled by the hardware.  But we do need to reset the
state when the VM is reset, so we provide a function for the 'owner' of
the mapped interrupt to reset the interrupt state.

Currently only the timer uses mapped interrupts, so we call this
function from the timer reset logic.

Calling vcpu_load() registers preempt notifiers for this vcpu and calls
kvm_arch_vcpu_load().  The latter will soon be doing a lot of heavy
lifting on arm/arm64 and will try to do things such as enabling the
virtual timer and setting us up to handle interrupts from the timer
hardware.

Loading state onto hardware registers and enabling hardware to signal
interrupts can be problematic when we're not actually about to run the
VCPU, because it makes it difficult to establish the right context when
handling interrupts from the timer, and it makes the register access
code difficult to reason about.

Luckily, now when we call vcpu_load in each ioctl implementation, we can
simply remove the call from the non-KVM_RUN vcpu ioctls, and our
kvm_arch_vcpu_load() is only used for loading vcpu content to the
physical CPU when we're actually going to run the vcpu.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Add missing irq_lock to vgic_mmio_read_pending</title>

Our irq_is_pending() helper function accesses multiple members of the
vgic_irq struct, so we need to hold the lock when calling it.
Add that requirement as a comment to the definition and take the lock
around the call in vgic_mmio_read_pending(), where we were missing it
before.
