KVM requires a clear separation of host user space and guest permissions
for dynamic XSTATE components.

Add a guest permissions member to struct fpu and a separate set of prctl()
arguments: ARCH_GET_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM and ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM.

The semantics are equivalent to the host user space permission control
except for the following constraints:

  1) Permissions have to be requested before the first vCPU is created

  2) Permissions are frozen when the first vCPU is created to ensure
     consistency. Any attempt to expand permissions via the prctl() after
     that point is rejected.

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are disabled,
the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is unlikely to cause a
problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will
legitimately warn that there is a data race.

To avoid such issues, a snapshot of the flags has to be taken prior to
using them. Some places already use READ_ONCE() for that, others do not.

Convert them all to the new flag accessor helpers.

 - Improve stack overflow warnings to say which stack got overflowed and
   raise the exception stack sizes to 2 pages since overflowing the

   the tracing machinery enabled. With that, rip out the custom mapping
   of AMD SEV's too.

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Cleanup of extable fixup handling to be more robust, which in turn
   allows to make the FPU exception fixups more robust as well.

 - Change the return code for signal frame related failures from
   explicit error codes to a boolean fail/success as that's all what the
   calling code evaluates.

 - A large refactoring of the FPU code to prepare for adding AMX
   support:

      - Distangle the public header maze and remove especially the
        misnomed kitchen sink internal.h which is despite it's name
        included all over the place.

      - Add a proper abstraction for the register buffer storage (struct
        fpstate) which allows to dynamically size the buffer at runtime
        by flipping the pointer to the buffer container from the default
        container which is embedded in task_struct::tread::fpu to a
        dynamically allocated container with a larger register buffer.

      - Convert the code over to the new fpstate mechanism.

      - Consolidate the KVM FPU handling by moving the FPU related code
        into the FPU core which removes the number of exports and avoids
        adding even more export when AMX has to be supported in KVM.
        This also removes duplicated code which was of course
        unnecessary different and incomplete in the KVM copy.

      - Simplify the KVM FPU buffer handling by utilizing the new
        fpstate container and just switching the buffer pointer from the
        user space buffer to the KVM guest buffer when entering
        vcpu_run() and flipping it back when leaving the function. This
        cuts the memory requirements of a vCPU for FPU buffers in half
        and avoids pointless memory copy operations.

        This also solves the so far unresolved problem of adding AMX
        support because the current FPU buffer handling of KVM inflicted
        a circular dependency between adding AMX support to the core and
        to KVM. With the new scheme of switching fpstate AMX support can
        be added to the core code without affecting KVM.

      - Replace various variables with proper data structures so the
        extra information required for adding dynamically enabled FPU
        features (AMX) can be added in one place

 - Add AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) support (finally):

   AMX is a large XSTATE component which is going to be available with
   Saphire Rapids XEON CPUs. The feature comes with an extra MSR
   (MSR_XFD) which allows to trap the (first) use of an AMX related
   instruction, which has two benefits:

    1) It allows the kernel to control access to the feature

    2) It allows the kernel to dynamically allocate the large register
       state buffer instead of burdening every task with the the extra
       8K or larger state storage.

   It would have been great to gain this kind of control already with
   AVX512.

   The support comes with the following infrastructure components:

    1) arch_prctl() to
        - read the supported features (equivalent to XGETBV(0))
        - read the permitted features for a task
        - request permission for a dynamically enabled feature

       Permission is granted per process, inherited on fork() and
       cleared on exec(). The permission policy of the kernel is
       restricted to sigaltstack size validation, but the syscall
       obviously allows further restrictions via seccomp etc.

    2) A stronger sigaltstack size validation for sys_sigaltstack(2)
       which takes granted permissions and the potentially resulting
       larger signal frame into account. This mechanism can also be used
       to enforce factual sigaltstack validation independent of dynamic
       features to help with finding potential victims of the 2K
       sigaltstack size constant which is broken since AVX512 support
       was added.

    3) Exception handling for #NM traps to catch first use of a extended
       feature via a new cause MSR. If the exception was caused by the
       use of such a feature, the handler checks permission for that
       feature. If permission has not been granted, the handler sends a
       SIGILL like the #UD handler would do if the feature would have
       been disabled in XCR0. If permission has been granted, then a new
       fpstate which fits the larger buffer requirement is allocated.

       In the unlikely case that this allocation fails, the handler
       sends SIGSEGV to the task. That's not elegant, but unavoidable as
       the other discussed options of preallocation or full per task
       permissions come with their own set of horrors for kernel and/or
       userspace. So this is the lesser of the evils and SIGSEGV caused
       by unexpected memory allocation failures is not a fundamentally
       new concept either.

       When allocation succeeds, the fpstate properties are filled in to
       reflect the extended feature set and the resulting sizes, the
       fpu::fpstate pointer is updated accordingly and the trap is
       disarmed for this task permanently.

    4) Enumeration and size calculations

    5) Trap switching via MSR_XFD

       The XFD (eXtended Feature Disable) MSR is context switched with
       the same life time rules as the FPU register state itself. The
       mechanism is keyed off with a static key which is default
       disabled so !AMX equipped CPUs have zero overhead. On AMX enabled
       CPUs the overhead is limited by comparing the tasks XFD value
       with a per CPU shadow variable to avoid redundant MSR writes. In
       case of switching from a AMX using task to a non AMX using task
       or vice versa, the extra MSR write is obviously inevitable.

       All other places which need to be aware of the variable feature
       sets and resulting variable sizes are not affected at all because
       they retrieve the information (feature set, sizes) unconditonally
       from the fpstate properties.

    6) Enable the new AMX states

   Note, this is relatively new code despite the fact that AMX support
   is in the works for more than a year now.

   The big refactoring of the FPU code, which allowed to do a proper
   integration has been started exactly 3 weeks ago. Refactoring of the
   existing FPU code and of the original AMX patches took a week and has
   been subject to extensive review and testing. The only fallout which
   has not been caught in review and testing right away was restricted
   to AMX enabled systems, which is completely irrelevant for anyone
   outside Intel and their early access program. There might be dragons
   lurking as usual, but so far the fine grained refactoring has held up
   and eventual yet undetected fallout is bisectable and should be
   easily addressable before the 5.16 release. Famous last words...

   Many thanks to Chang Bae and Dave Hansen for working hard on this and
   also to the various test teams at Intel who reserved extra capacity
   to follow the rapid development of this closely which provides the
   confidence level required to offer this rather large update for
   inclusion into 5.16-rc1

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Cleanup of extable fixup handling to be more robust, which in turn
   allows to make the FPU exception fixups more robust as well.

 - Change the return code for signal frame related failures from
   explicit error codes to a boolean fail/success as that's all what the
   calling code evaluates.

 - A large refactoring of the FPU code to prepare for adding AMX
   support:

      - Distangle the public header maze and remove especially the
        misnomed kitchen sink internal.h which is despite it's name
        included all over the place.

      - Add a proper abstraction for the register buffer storage (struct
        fpstate) which allows to dynamically size the buffer at runtime
        by flipping the pointer to the buffer container from the default
        container which is embedded in task_struct::tread::fpu to a
        dynamically allocated container with a larger register buffer.

      - Convert the code over to the new fpstate mechanism.

      - Consolidate the KVM FPU handling by moving the FPU related code
        into the FPU core which removes the number of exports and avoids
        adding even more export when AMX has to be supported in KVM.
        This also removes duplicated code which was of course
        unnecessary different and incomplete in the KVM copy.

      - Simplify the KVM FPU buffer handling by utilizing the new
        fpstate container and just switching the buffer pointer from the
        user space buffer to the KVM guest buffer when entering
        vcpu_run() and flipping it back when leaving the function. This
        cuts the memory requirements of a vCPU for FPU buffers in half
        and avoids pointless memory copy operations.

        This also solves the so far unresolved problem of adding AMX
        support because the current FPU buffer handling of KVM inflicted
        a circular dependency between adding AMX support to the core and
        to KVM. With the new scheme of switching fpstate AMX support can
        be added to the core code without affecting KVM.

      - Replace various variables with proper data structures so the
        extra information required for adding dynamically enabled FPU
        features (AMX) can be added in one place

 - Add AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) support (finally):

   AMX is a large XSTATE component which is going to be available with
   Saphire Rapids XEON CPUs. The feature comes with an extra MSR
   (MSR_XFD) which allows to trap the (first) use of an AMX related
   instruction, which has two benefits:

    1) It allows the kernel to control access to the feature

    2) It allows the kernel to dynamically allocate the large register
       state buffer instead of burdening every task with the the extra
       8K or larger state storage.

   It would have been great to gain this kind of control already with
   AVX512.

   The support comes with the following infrastructure components:

    1) arch_prctl() to
        - read the supported features (equivalent to XGETBV(0))
        - read the permitted features for a task
        - request permission for a dynamically enabled feature

       Permission is granted per process, inherited on fork() and
       cleared on exec(). The permission policy of the kernel is
       restricted to sigaltstack size validation, but the syscall
       obviously allows further restrictions via seccomp etc.

    2) A stronger sigaltstack size validation for sys_sigaltstack(2)
       which takes granted permissions and the potentially resulting
       larger signal frame into account. This mechanism can also be used
       to enforce factual sigaltstack validation independent of dynamic
       features to help with finding potential victims of the 2K
       sigaltstack size constant which is broken since AVX512 support
       was added.

    3) Exception handling for #NM traps to catch first use of a extended
       feature via a new cause MSR. If the exception was caused by the
       use of such a feature, the handler checks permission for that
       feature. If permission has not been granted, the handler sends a
       SIGILL like the #UD handler would do if the feature would have
       been disabled in XCR0. If permission has been granted, then a new
       fpstate which fits the larger buffer requirement is allocated.

       In the unlikely case that this allocation fails, the handler
       sends SIGSEGV to the task. That's not elegant, but unavoidable as
       the other discussed options of preallocation or full per task
       permissions come with their own set of horrors for kernel and/or
       userspace. So this is the lesser of the evils and SIGSEGV caused
       by unexpected memory allocation failures is not a fundamentally
       new concept either.

       When allocation succeeds, the fpstate properties are filled in to
       reflect the extended feature set and the resulting sizes, the
       fpu::fpstate pointer is updated accordingly and the trap is
       disarmed for this task permanently.

       the same life time rules as the FPU register state itself. The
       mechanism is keyed off with a static key which is default
       disabled so !AMX equipped CPUs have zero overhead. On AMX enabled
       CPUs the overhead is limited by comparing the tasks XFD value
       with a per CPU shadow variable to avoid redundant MSR writes. In
       case of switching from a AMX using task to a non AMX using task
       or vice versa, the extra MSR write is obviously inevitable.

The fpstate embedded in struct fpu is the default state for storing the FPU
registers. It's sized so that the default supported features can be stored.
For dynamically enabled features the register buffer is too small.

The #NM handler detects first use of a feature which is disabled in the
XFD MSR. After handling permission checks it recalculates the size for
kernel space and user space state and invokes fpstate_realloc() which
tries to reallocate fpstate and install it.

Provide the allocator function which checks whether the current buffer size
is sufficient and if not allocates one. If allocation is successful the new
fpstate is initialized with the new features and sizes and the now enabled
features is removed from the task's XFD mask.

realloc_fpstate() uses vzalloc(). If use of this mechanism grows to
re-allocate buffers larger than 64KB, a more sophisticated allocation
scheme that includes purpose-built reclaim capability might be justified.

The default portion of the parent's FPU state is saved in a child task.
With dynamic features enabled, the non-default portion is not saved in a
child's fpstate because these register states are defined to be
caller-saved. The new task's fpstate is therefore the default buffer.

Fork inherits the permission of the parent.

Also, do not use memcpy() when TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD is set because it is
invalid when the parent has dynamic features.

<title>x86/arch_prctl: Add controls for dynamic XSTATE components</title>

<content type='text'>
Dynamically enabled XSTATE features are by default disabled for all
processes. A process has to request permission to use such a feature.

To support this implement a architecture specific prctl() with the options:

   - ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP

     Copies the supported feature bitmap into the user space provided
     u64 storage. The pointer is handed in via arg2

   - ARCH_GET_XCOMP_PERM

     Copies the process wide permitted feature bitmap into the user space
     provided u64 storage. The pointer is handed in via arg2

   - ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM

     Request permission for a feature set. A feature set can be mapped to a
     facility, e.g. AMX, and can require one or more XSTATE components to
     be enabled.

     The feature argument is the number of the highest XSTATE component
     which is required for a facility to work.

     The request argument is not a user supplied bitmap because that makes
     filtering harder (think seccomp) and even impossible because to
     support 32bit tasks the argument would have to be a pointer.

The permission mechanism works this way:

   Task asks for permission for a facility and kernel checks whether that's
   supported. If supported it does:

     1) Check whether permission has already been granted

     2) Compute the size of the required kernel and user space buffer
        (sigframe) size.

     3) Validate that no task has a sigaltstack installed
        which is smaller than the resulting sigframe size

     4) Add the requested feature bit(s) to the permission bitmap of
        current-&gt;group_leader-&gt;fpu and store the sizes in the group
        leaders fpu struct as well.

If that is successful then the feature is still not enabled for any of the
tasks. The first usage of a related instruction will result in a #NM
trap. The trap handler validates the permission bit of the tasks group
leader and if permitted it installs a larger kernel buffer and transfers
the permission and size info to the new fpstate container which makes all
the FPU functions which require per task information aware of the extended
feature set.
