The 2024 dpISA introduces a number of architecture features all of which
only add new instructions so only require the addition of hwcaps and ID
register visibility.

<title>arm64/sme: Move storage of reg_smidr to __cpuinfo_store_cpu()</title>

<id>d3c7c48d004f6c8d892f39b5d69884fd0fe98c81</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 892f7237b3ff ("arm64: Delay initialisation of
cpuinfo_arm64::reg_{zcr,smcr}") we moved access to ZCR, SMCR and SMIDR
later in the boot process in order to ensure that we don't attempt to
interact with them if SVE or SME is disabled on the command line.
Unfortunately when initialising the boot CPU in init_cpu_features() we work
on a copy of the struct cpuinfo_arm64 for the boot CPU used only during
boot, not the percpu copy used by the sysfs code. The expectation of the
feature identification code was that the ID registers would be read in
__cpuinfo_store_cpu() and the values not modified by init_cpu_features().

The main reason for the original change was to avoid early accesses to
ZCR on practical systems that were seen shipping with SVE reported in ID
registers but traps enabled at EL3 and handled as fatal errors, SME was
rolled in due to the similarity with SVE. Since then we have removed the
early accesses to ZCR and SMCR in commits:

  abef0695f9665c3d ("arm64/sve: Remove ZCR pseudo register from cpufeature code")
  391208485c3ad50f ("arm64/sve: Remove SMCR pseudo register from cpufeature code")

so only the SMIDR_EL1 part of the change remains. Since SMIDR_EL1 is
only trapped via FEAT_IDST and not the SME trap it is less likely to be
affected by similar issues, and the factors that lead to issues with SVE
are less likely to apply to SME.

Since we have not yet seen practical SME systems that need to use a
command line override (and are only just beginning to see SME systems at
all) and the ID register read is much more likely to be safe let's just
store SMIDR_EL1 along with all the other ID register reads in
__cpuinfo_store_cpu().

This issue wasn't apparent when testing on emulated platforms that do not
report values in SMIDR_EL1.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "The biggest change here is eliminating the awful idea that KVM had of
  essentially guessing which pfns are refcounted pages.

  The reason to do so was that KVM needs to map both non-refcounted
  pages (for example BARs of VFIO devices) and VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXMEDMAP
  VMAs that contain refcounted pages.

  However, the result was security issues in the past, and more recently
  the inability to map VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory that _is_ backed by
  struct page but is not refcounted. In particular this broke virtio-gpu
  blob resources (which directly map host graphics buffers into the
  guest as "vram" for the virtio-gpu device) with the amdgpu driver,
  because amdgpu allocates non-compound higher order pages and the tail
  pages could not be mapped into KVM.

  This requires adjusting all uses of struct page in the
  per-architecture code, to always work on the pfn whenever possible.
  The large series that did this, from David Stevens and Sean
  Christopherson, also cleaned up substantially the set of functions
  that provided arch code with the pfn for a host virtual addresses.

  The previous maze of twisty little passages, all different, is
  replaced by five functions (__gfn_to_page, __kvm_faultin_pfn, the
  non-__ versions of these two, and kvm_prefetch_pages) saving almost
  200 lines of code.

  ARM:

   - Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and
     permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the
     emulated page table walker

   - Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This
     call was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request
     hibernation, similar to the S4 state in ACPI

   - Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As
     part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM
     context so KVM can use the corresponding traps

   - PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest
     hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a
     nested guest

   - Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table
     entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM

   - Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested
     synchronous external abort injection

   - Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and
     selftests

  LoongArch:

   - Add iocsr and mmio bus simulation in kernel.

   - Add in-kernel interrupt controller emulation.

   - Add support for virtualization extensions to the eiointc irqchip.

  PPC:

   - Drop lingering and utterly obsolete references to PPC970 KVM, which
     was removed 10 years ago.

   - Fix incorrect documentation references to non-existing ioctls

  RISC-V:

   - Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest

   - Perf support to collect KVM guest statistics from host side

  s390:

   - New selftests: more ucontrol selftests and CPU model sanity checks

   - Support for the gen17 CPU model

   - List registers supported by KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG in the
     documentation

  x86:

   - Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code,
     improve documentation, harden against unexpected changes.

     Even if the hardware A/D tracking is disabled, it is possible to
     use the hardware-defined A/D bits to track if a PFN is Accessed
     and/or Dirty, and that removes a lot of special cases.

   - Elide TLB flushes when aging secondary PTEs, as has been done in
     x86's primary MMU for over 10 years.

   - Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU when dirty page logging
     is toggled off, instead of zapping them and waiting until the page
     is re-accessed to create a huge mapping. This reduces vCPU jitter.

   - Batch TLB flushes when dirty page logging is toggled off. This
     reduces the time it takes to disable dirty logging by ~3x.

   - Remove the shrinker that was (poorly) attempting to reclaim shadow
     page tables in low-memory situations.

   - Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to
     MSR_IA32_APICBASE.

   - Advertise CPUIDs for new instructions in Clearwater Forest

   - Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs
     to their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM
     creating invalid vCPU state. E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to
     a non-zero value results in the vCPU having invalid state if
     userspace hides PDCM from the guest, which in turn can lead to
     save/restore failures.

   - Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support
     LA57 to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the
     actual behavior is poorly documented. E.g. most MSR writes and
     descriptor table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on
     whether the CPU supports LA57.

   - Bypass the register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out(),
     as filling the cache from IRQ context is generally unsafe; harden
     the cache accessors to try to prevent similar issues from occuring
     in the future. The issue that triggered this change was already
     fixed in 6.12, but was still kinda latent.

   - Advertise AMD_IBPB_RET to userspace, and fix a related bug where
     KVM over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor
     VMs.

   - Minor cleanups

   - Switch hugepage recovery thread to use vhost_task.

     These kthreads can consume significant amounts of CPU time on
     behalf of a VM or in response to how the VM behaves (for example
     how it accesses its memory); therefore KVM tried to place the
     thread in the VM's cgroups and charge the CPU time consumed by that
     work to the VM's container.

     However the kthreads did not process SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, and therefore
     cgroups which had KVM instances inside could not complete freezing.

     Fix this by replacing the kthread with a PF_USER_WORKER thread, via
     the vhost_task abstraction. Another 100+ lines removed, with
     generally better behavior too like having these threads properly
     parented in the process tree.

   - Revert a workaround for an old CPU erratum (Nehalem/Westmere) that
     didn't really work; there was really nothing to work around anyway:
     the broken patch was meant to fix nested virtualization, but the
     PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR is virtualized and therefore unaffected by the
     erratum.

   - Fix 6.12 regression where CONFIG_KVM will be built as a module even
     if asked to be builtin, as long as neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD is
     'y'.

  x86 selftests:

   - x86 selftests can now use AVX.

  Documentation:

   - Use rST internal links

   - Reorganize the introduction to the API document

  Generic:

   - Protect vcpu-&gt;pid accesses outside of vcpu-&gt;mutex with a rwlock
     instead of RCU, so that running a vCPU on a different task doesn't
     encounter long due to having to wait for all CPUs become quiescent.

     In general both reads and writes are rare, but userspace that
     supports confidential computing is introducing the use of "helper"
     vCPUs that may jump from one host processor to another. Those will
     be very happy to trigger a synchronize_rcu(), and the effect on
     performance is quite the disaster"

ARMv8.4 adds support for 'Memory Partitioning And Monitoring' (MPAM)
which describes an interface to cache and bandwidth controls wherever
they appear in the system.

Add support to detect MPAM. Like SVE, MPAM has an extra id register that
describes some more properties, including the virtualisation support,
which is optional. Detect this separately so we can detect
mismatched/insane systems, but still use MPAM on the host even if the
virtualisation support is missing.

MPAM needs enabling at the highest implemented exception level, otherwise
the register accesses trap. The 'enabled' flag is accessible to lower
exception levels, but its in a register that traps when MPAM isn't enabled.
The cpufeature 'matches' hook is extended to test this on one of the
CPUs, so that firmware can emulate MPAM as disabled if it is reserved
for use by secure world.

Secondary CPUs that appear late could trip cpufeature's 'lower safe'
behaviour after the MPAM properties have been advertised to user-space.
Add a verify call to ensure late secondaries match the existing CPUs.

(If you have a boot failure that bisects here its likely your CPUs
advertise MPAM in the id registers, but firmware failed to either enable
or MPAM, or emulate the trap as if it were disabled)

'struct kobj_type' is not modified. It is only used in kobject_init()
which takes a 'const struct kobj_type *ktype' parameter.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section,
so increase over all security.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "S390:

   - Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request

   - Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
     requested

   - More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
     virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same)

   - Fix selftests undefined behavior

  x86:

   - Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
     encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
     guest CPUID. The enumeration of an architectural event only says
     that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can
     be programmed *using the architectural encoding*. The enumeration
     does NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't
     report support the event *in general*. It might support it, and it
     might support it using the same encoding that made it into the
     architectural PMU spec

   - Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
     individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly
     emulates RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other
     PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are
     easier to validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka
     kvm-unit-tests)

   - Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does
     not cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM
     would check if a PMC event needs to be synthesized

   - Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10%
     performance improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is
     exposed to the guest

   - Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if
     an NMI arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit

   - Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification
     information when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit
     code

   - Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support

   - Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock
     held for read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace
     deletes a memslot

   - Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be
     1GiB). KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a
     zap, and 1GiB granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that
     are quite impolite for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels

   - Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory
     overhead when a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support
     but the workloads use neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization

   - Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the
     emulator that triggered KMSAN false positives

   - Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM

   - Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code
     ultimately decides how and when to force the exit, which allowed
     some optimization for both Intel and AMD

   - Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left
     elevated if vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra
     unnecessary work

   - Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
     in-kernel

   - Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
     count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
     in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
     kernel

  x86 Xen emulation:

   - Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
     instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
     reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
     but the underlying host virtual address remains the same

   - When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
     deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
     timer emulation

   - Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
     APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
     behavior)

   - Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
     delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
     IDs

  RISC-V:

   - Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests

   - New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)

   - New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)

   - Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs

  ARM:

   - Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
     architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
     registers

   - Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
     x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
     assigned devices that can tolerate it

   - Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
     to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
     injection path

   - Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
     the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register

   - Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
     selftests

  LoongArch:

   - Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG

   - Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking

   - Do not restart SW timer when it is expired

   - Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest

   - Misc cleanups and fixes as usual

  Generic:

   - Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
     always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
     determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
     replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
     IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else

   - Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
     requiring each architecture to specify it

   - Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers

   - Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h

   - Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
     being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
     there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
     KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
     use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded

   - Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
     itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's
     no need to remember to *conditionally* clean up after the worker

  Selftests:

   - Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP
     infrastructure

   - Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of
     library support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory

   - Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files"

   - Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
     in-kernel

   - Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
     count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
     in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
     kernel

  x86 Xen emulation:

   - Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
     instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
     reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
     but the underlying host virtual address remains the same

   - When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
     deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
     timer emulation

   - Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
     APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
     behavior)

   - Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
     delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
     IDs

  RISC-V:

   - Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests

   - New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)

   - New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)

   - Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs

  ARM:

   - Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
     architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
     registers

   - Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
     x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
     assigned devices that can tolerate it

   - Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
     to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
     injection path

   - Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
     the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register

   - Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
     selftests

  LoongArch:

   - Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG

   - Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking

   - Do not restart SW timer when it is expired

   - Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest

   - Misc cleanups and fixes as usual

  Generic:

   - Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
     always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
     determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
     replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
     IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else

   - Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
     requiring each architecture to specify it

   - Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers

   - Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h

   - Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
     being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
     there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
     KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
     use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded

   - Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
     itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's
     no need to remember to *conditionally* clean up after the worker

  Selftests:

   - Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP
     infrastructure

   - Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of
     library support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory

   - Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files"

<content type='text'>
The 2023 architecture extensions include a large number of floating point
features, most of which simply add new instructions. Add hwcaps so that
userspace can enumerate these features.
