Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Initial infrastructure for shadow stage-2 MMUs, as part of nested
     virtualization enablement

   - Support for userspace changes to the guest CTR_EL0 value, enabling
     (in part) migration of VMs between heterogenous hardware

   - Fixes + improvements to pKVM's FF-A proxy, adding support for v1.1
     of the protocol

   - FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration
     and exception routing

   - New command-line parameter to control the WFx trap behavior under
     KVM

   - Introduce kCFI hardening in the EL2 hypervisor

   - Fixes + cleanups for handling presence/absence of FEAT_TCRX

   - Miscellaneous fixes + documentation updates

  LoongArch:

   - Add paravirt steal time support

   - Add support for KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET

   - Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch

  RISC-V:

   - Redirect AMO load/store access fault traps to guest

   - perf kvm stat support

   - Use guest files for IMSIC virtualization, when available

  s390:

   - Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical

  x86:

   - Fixes for Xen emulation

   - Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g.
     EFER

   - Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the
     effective APIC bus frequency, because TDX

   - Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant
     tracepoint

   - Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to
     consistently act on "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking
     for a specific vendor

   - Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on
     CPUs that support self-snoop

   - Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure

   - Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as
     it reads '0' and writes from userspace are ignored

   - Misc cleanups

  x86 - MMU:

   - Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
     Intel TDX support

   - Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages
     that can't hold leafs SPTEs

   - Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables
     for eager page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting
     huge pages

   - Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE
     that is non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a
     broken state because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's
     all but dangerous to let more MMU changes happen afterwards

  x86 - AMD:

   - Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware

   - Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into
     an instrumentable function from noinstr code

   - Base support for running SEV-SNP guests. API-wise, this includes a
     new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
     guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally,
     there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated
     pages before mapping them into guest private memory ranges

     This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough
     to say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification

     There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing
     keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet
     for the host to provide certificate data for those keys.

     To support fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit
     type will be needed to handle fetching the certificate from
     userspace.

     An attempt to define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO / KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS
     exit type to handle this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but
     is still being discussed by community, so for now this patchset
     only implements a stub version of SNP Extended Guest Requests that
     does not provide certificate data

  x86 - Intel:

   - Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware

   - Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested
     pending posted interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing
     HLT in L2 (with HLT-exiting disable by L1)

   - KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch
     emulation

     Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are
     triggered when emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support
     userspace MMIO during complex (multi-step) emulation

     Silently ignoring the exit request can result in the
     WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu-&gt;mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to userspace
     for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed

     See commit 0dc902267cb3 ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write
     exits if emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's
     limitations with respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator
     flows

  Generic:

   - Rename the AS_UNMOVABLE flag that was introduced for KVM to
     AS_INACCESSIBLE, because the special casing needed by these pages
     is not due to just unmovability (and in fact they are only
     unmovable because the CPU cannot access them)

   - New ioctl to populate the KVM page tables in advance, which is
     useful to mitigate KVM page faults during guest boot or after live
     migration. The code will also be used by TDX, but (probably) not
     through the ioctl

   - Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a
     clear win

   - Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to
     synchronize SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86

   - Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with
     a flag that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and
     sched_out()

   - Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
     truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace
     detect bugs

   - Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in
     the KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus
     writing guest memory when retrieving guest state during live
     migration blackout

  Selftests:

   - Remove dead code in the memslot modification stress test

   - Treat "branch instructions retired" as supported on all AMD Family
     17h+ CPUs

   - Print the guest pseudo-RNG seed only when it changes, to avoid
     spamming the log for tests that create lots of VMs

   - Make the PMU counters test less flaky when counting LLC cache
     misses by doing CLFLUSH{OPT} in every loop iteration"

When a vCPU is interrupted by a signal while running a nested guest,
KVM will exit to userspace with L2 state. However, userspace has no
way to know whether it sees L1 or L2 state (besides calling
KVM_GET_STATS_FD, which does not have a stable ABI).

This causes multiple problems:

The simplest one is L2 state corruption when userspace marks the sregs
as dirty. See this mailing list thread [1] for a complete discussion.

Another problem is that if userspace decides to continue by emulating
instructions, it will unknowingly emulate with L2 state as if L1
doesn't exist, which can be considered a weird guest escape.

Introduce a new flag, KVM_RUN_X86_GUEST_MODE, in the kvm_run data
structure, which is set when the vCPU exited while running a nested
guest.  Also introduce a new capability, KVM_CAP_X86_GUEST_MODE, to
advertise the functionality to userspace.

<title>x86/sev: Use kernel provided SVSM Calling Areas</title>

<id>34ff659017359116dd58b1e008d99d21b96b3569</id>
<content type='text'>
The SVSM Calling Area (CA) is used to communicate between Linux and the
SVSM. Since the firmware supplied CA for the BSP is likely to be in
reserved memory, switch off that CA to a kernel provided CA so that access
and use of the CA is available during boot. The CA switch is done using
the SVSM core protocol SVSM_CORE_REMAP_CA call.

An SVSM call is executed by filling out the SVSM CA and setting the proper
register state as documented by the SVSM protocol. The SVSM is invoked by
by requesting the hypervisor to run VMPL0.

Once it is safe to allocate/reserve memory, allocate a CA for each CPU.
After allocating the new CAs, the BSP will switch from the boot CA to the
per-CPU CA. The CA for an AP is identified to the SVSM when creating the
VMSA in preparation for booting the AP.

  [ bp: Heavily simplify svsm_issue_call() asm, other touchups. ]

by requesting the hypervisor to run VMPL0.

Once it is safe to allocate/reserve memory, allocate a CA for each CPU.
After allocating the new CAs, the BSP will switch from the boot CA to the
per-CPU CA. The CA for an AP is identified to the SVSM when creating the
VMSA in preparation for booting the AP.

  [ bp: Heavily simplify svsm_issue_call() asm, other touchups. ]

Add a KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH command to finalize the cryptographic
launch digest which stores the measurement of the guest at launch time.
Also extend the existing SNP firmware data structures to support
disabling the use of Versioned Chip Endorsement Keys (VCEK) by guests as
part of this command.

While finalizing the launch flow, the code also issues the LAUNCH_UPDATE
SNP firmware commands to encrypt/measure the initial VMSA pages for each
configured vCPU, which requires setting the RMP entries for those pages
to private, so also add handling to clean up the RMP entries for these
pages whening freeing vCPUs during shutdown.

A key aspect of a launching an SNP guest is initializing it with a
known/measured payload which is then encrypted into guest memory as
pre-validated private pages and then measured into the cryptographic
launch context created with KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_START so that the guest
can attest itself after booting.

Since all private pages are provided by guest_memfd, make use of the
kvm_gmem_populate() interface to handle this. The general flow is that
guest_memfd will handle allocating the pages associated with the GPA
ranges being initialized by each particular call of
KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE, copying data from userspace into those pages,
and then the post_populate callback will do the work of setting the
RMP entries for these pages to private and issuing the SNP firmware
calls to encrypt/measure them.

For more information see the SEV-SNP specification.

KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_START begins the launch process for an SEV-SNP guest.
The command initializes a cryptographic digest context used to construct
the measurement of the guest. Other commands can then at that point be
used to load/encrypt data into the guest's initial launch image.

SEV-SNP builds upon existing SEV and SEV-ES functionality while adding
new hardware-based security protection. SEV-SNP adds strong memory
encryption and integrity protection to help prevent malicious
hypervisor-based attacks such as data replay, memory re-mapping, and
more, to create an isolated execution environment.

Define a new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type which makes use of these capabilities
and extend the KVM_SEV_INIT2 ioctl to support it. Also add a basic
helper to check whether SNP is enabled and set PFERR_PRIVATE_ACCESS for
private #NPFs so they are handled appropriately by KVM MMU.

The GHCB protocol version may be different from one guest to the next.
Add a field to track it for each KVM instance and extend KVM_SEV_INIT2
to allow it to be configured by userspace.

Now that all SEV-ES support for GHCB protocol version 2 is in place, go
ahead and default to it when creating SEV-ES guests through the new
KVM_SEV_INIT2 interface. Keep the older KVM_SEV_ES_INIT interface
restricted to GHCB protocol version 1.

The idea that no parameter would ever be necessary when enabling SEV or
SEV-ES for a VM was decidedly optimistic.  In fact, in some sense it's
already a parameter whether SEV or SEV-ES is desired.  Another possible
source of variability is the desired set of VMSA features, as that affects
the measurement of the VM's initial state and cannot be changed
arbitrarily by the hypervisor.

Create a new sub-operation for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP that can take a struct,
and put the new op to work by including the VMSA features as a field of the
struct.  The existing KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT use the full set of
supported VMSA features for backwards compatibility.

The struct also includes the usual bells and whistles for future
extensibility: a flags field that must be zero for now, and some padding
at the end.
