Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "x86:

   - Support for userspace to emulate Xen hypercalls

   - Raise the maximum number of user memslots

   - Scalability improvements for the new MMU.

     Instead of the complex "fast page fault" logic that is used in
     mmu.c, tdp_mmu.c uses an rwlock so that page faults are concurrent,
     but the code that can run against page faults is limited. Right now
     only page faults take the lock for reading; in the future this will
     be extended to some cases of page table destruction. I hope to
     switch the default MMU around 5.12-rc3 (some testing was delayed
     due to Chinese New Year).

   - Cleanups for MAXPHYADDR checks

   - Use static calls for vendor-specific callbacks

   - On AMD, use VMLOAD/VMSAVE to save and restore host state

   - Stop using deprecated jump label APIs

   - Workaround for AMD erratum that made nested virtualization
     unreliable

   - Support for LBR emulation in the guest

   - Support for communicating bus lock vmexits to userspace

   - Add support for SEV attestation command

   - Miscellaneous cleanups

  PPC:

   - Support for second data watchpoint on POWER10

   - Remove some complex workarounds for buggy early versions of POWER9

   - Guest entry/exit fixes

  ARM64:

   - Make the nVHE EL2 object relocatable

   - Cleanups for concurrent translation faults hitting the same page

   - Support for the standard TRNG hypervisor call

   - A bunch of small PMU/Debug fixes

   - Simplification of the early init hypercall handling

  Non-KVM changes (with acks):

   - Detection of contended rwlocks (implemented only for qrwlocks,
     because KVM only needs it for x86)

   - Allow __DISABLE_EXPORTS from assembly code

   - Provide a saner follow_pfn replacements for modules"

<title>KVM: VMX: Enable bus lock VM exit</title>

<id>fe6b6bc802b40081e8a7a1abe8d32b88d10a03e1</id>
<content type='text'>
Virtual Machine can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of
system. Bus lock can be caused by split locked access to writeback(WB)
memory or by using locks on uncacheable(UC) memory. The bus lock is
typically &gt;1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache
line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait for
the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can
complete).

To address the threat, bus lock VM exit is introduced to notify the VMM
when a bus lock was acquired, allowing it to enforce throttling or other
policy based mitigations.

A VMM can enable VM exit due to bus locks by setting a new "Bus Lock
Detection" VM-execution control(bit 30 of Secondary Processor-based VM
execution controls). If delivery of this VM exit was preempted by a
higher priority VM exit (e.g. EPT misconfiguration, EPT violation, APIC
access VM exit, APIC write VM exit, exception bitmap exiting), bit 26 of
exit reason in vmcs field is set to 1.

In current implementation, the KVM exposes this capability through
KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT. The user can get the supported mode bitmap
(i.e. off and exit) and enable it explicitly (disabled by default). If
bus locks in guest are detected by KVM, exit to user space even when
current exit reason is handled by KVM internally. Set a new field
KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK in vcpu-&gt;run-&gt;flags to inform the user space that there
is a bus lock detected in guest.

Document for Bus Lock VM exit is now available at the latest "Intel
Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference".

The implementation was rather buggy.  It unconditionally marked PTEs
read-only, even for VM_SHARED mappings.  I'm not sure whether this is
actually a problem, but it certainly seems unwise.  More importantly, it
released the mmap lock before flushing the TLB, which could allow a racing
CoW operation to falsely believe that the underlying memory was not
writable.

I can't find any users at all of this mechanism, so just remove it.

For SEV-ES guests, the interception of control register write access
is not recommended. Control register interception occurs prior to the
control register being modified and the hypervisor is unable to modify
the control register itself because the register is located in the
encrypted register state.

SEV-ES guests introduce new control register write traps. These traps
provide intercept support of a control register write after the control
register has been modified. The new control register value is provided in
the VMCB EXITINFO1 field, allowing the hypervisor to track the setting
of the guest control registers.

Add support to track the value of the guest CR8 register using the control
register write trap so that the hypervisor understands the guest operating
mode.

For SEV-ES guests, the interception of control register write access
is not recommended. Control register interception occurs prior to the
control register being modified and the hypervisor is unable to modify
the control register itself because the register is located in the
encrypted register state.

SEV-ES guests introduce new control register write traps. These traps
provide intercept support of a control register write after the control
register has been modified. The new control register value is provided in
the VMCB EXITINFO1 field, allowing the hypervisor to track the setting
of the guest control registers.

Add support to track the value of the guest CR4 register using the control
register write trap so that the hypervisor understands the guest operating
mode.

<title>KVM: SVM: Add initial support for a VMGEXIT VMEXIT</title>

SEV-ES adds a new VMEXIT reason code, VMGEXIT. Initial support for a
VMGEXIT includes mapping the GHCB based on the guest GPA, which is
obtained from a new VMCB field, and then validating the required inputs
for the VMGEXIT exit reason.

Since many of the VMGEXIT exit reasons correspond to existing VMEXIT
reasons, the information from the GHCB is copied into the VMCB control
exit code areas and KVM register areas. The standard exit handlers are
invoked, similar to standard VMEXIT processing. Before restarting the
vCPU, the GHCB is updated with any registers that have been updated by
the hypervisor.

<title>Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux</title>

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Expose tag address bits in siginfo. The original arm64 ABI did not
   expose any of the bits 63:56 of a tagged address in siginfo. In the
   presence of user ASAN or MTE, this information may be useful. The
   implementation is generic to other architectures supporting tags
   (like SPARC ADI, subject to wiring up the arch code). The user will
   have to opt in via sigaction(SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS) so that the extra
   bits, if available, become visible in si_addr.

 - Default to 32-bit wide ZONE_DMA. Previously, ZONE_DMA was set to the
   lowest 1GB to cope with the Raspberry Pi 4 limitations, to the
   detriment of other platforms. With these changes, the kernel scans
   the Device Tree dma-ranges and the ACPI IORT information before
   deciding on a smaller ZONE_DMA.

 - Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y. When building
   with LTO, there is an increased risk of the compiler converting an
   address dependency headed by a READ_ONCE() invocation into a control
   dependency and consequently allowing for harmful reordering by the
   CPU.

 - Add CPPC FFH support using arm64 AMU counters.

 - set_fs() removal on arm64. This renders the User Access Override
   (UAO) ARMv8 feature unnecessary.

 - Perf updates: PMU driver for the ARM DMC-620 memory controller, sysfs
   identifier file for SMMUv3, stop event counters support for i.MX8MP,
   enable the perf events-based hard lockup detector.

 - Reorganise the kernel VA space slightly so that 52-bit VA
   configurations can use more virtual address space.

 - Improve the robustness of the arm64 memory offline event notifier.

 - Pad the Image header to 64K following the EFI header definition
   updated recently to increase the section alignment to 64K.

 - Support CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND on arm64.

 - Do not use tagged PC in the kernel (TCR_EL1.TBID1==1), freeing up 8
   bits for PtrAuth.

 - Switch to vmapped shadow call stacks.

 - Miscellaneous clean-ups.
