Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the
grossly misnamed directories.  We usually never use "virtual" as
a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt,
as seen in the virt/ top-level directory.  Fix up the documentation
to match that.

<title>KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts</title>

<id>d73eb57b80b98ae147e4e6a7d9877c2ba175f972</id>
<content type='text'>
Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates.  This patch introduces vcpu-&gt;ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu-&gt;preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).

Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:
ebizzy -M

<title>arm64: switch to generic version of pte allocation</title>
<updated>2019-07-12T18:05:45+00:00</updated>

<id>50f11a8a4620eee6b6831e69ab5d42456546d7d8</id>
<content type='text'>
The PTE allocations in arm64 are identical to the generic ones modulo the
GFP flags.

Using the generic pte_alloc_one() functions ensures that the user page
tables are allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT set.

The arm64 definition of PGALLOC_GFP is removed and replaced with
GFP_PGTABLE_USER for p[gum]d_alloc_one() for the user page tables and
GFP_PGTABLE_KERNEL for the kernel page tables. The KVM memory cache is now
using GFP_PGTABLE_USER.

The mappings created with create_pgd_mapping() are now using
GFP_PGTABLE_KERNEL.

The conversion to the generic version of pte_free_kernel() removes the NULL
check for pte.

The pte_free() version on arm64 is identical to the generic one and
can be simply dropped.

The field "page" is initialized to KVM_UNMAPPED_PAGE when it is not used
(i.e. when the memory lives outside kernel control). So this check will
always end up using kunmap even for memremap regions.

As part of setting up the host context, we populate its
MPIDR by using cpu_logical_map(). It turns out that contrary
to arm64, cpu_logical_map() on 32bit ARM doesn't return the
*full* MPIDR, but a truncated version.

This leaves the host MPIDR slightly corrupted after the first
run of a VM, since we won't correctly restore the MPIDR on
exit. Oops.

Since we cannot trust cpu_logical_map(), let's adopt a different
strategy. We move the initialization of the host CPU context as
part of the per-CPU initialization (which, in retrospect, makes
a lot of sense), and directly read the MPIDR from the HW. This
is guaranteed to work on both arm and arm64.

<title>KVM: arm64: Migrate _elx sysreg accessors to msr_s/mrs_s</title>

<id>fdec2a9ef853172529baaa192673b4cdb9a44fac</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the {read,write}_sysreg_el*() accessors for accessing
particular ELs' sysregs in the presence of VHE rely on some local
hacks and define their system register encodings in a way that is
inconsistent with the core definitions in &lt;asm/sysreg.h&gt;.

As a result, it is necessary to add duplicate definitions for any
system register that already needs a definition in sysreg.h for
other reasons.

This is a bit of a maintenance headache, and the reasons for the
_el*() accessors working the way they do is a bit historical.

This patch gets rid of the shadow sysreg definitions in
&lt;asm/kvm_hyp.h&gt;, converts the _el*() accessors to use the core
__msr_s/__mrs_s interface, and converts all call sites to use the
standard sysreg #define names (i.e., upper case, with SYS_ prefix).

This patch will conflict heavily anyway, so the opportunity
to clean up some bad whitespace in the context of the changes is
taken.

The change exposes a few system registers that have no sysreg.h
definition, due to msr_s/mrs_s being used in place of msr/mrs:
additions are made in order to fill in the gaps.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: Add save/restore support for firmware workaround state</title>

KVM implements the firmware interface for mitigating cache speculation
vulnerabilities. Guests may use this interface to ensure mitigation is
active.
If we want to migrate such a guest to a host with a different support
level for those workarounds, migration might need to fail, to ensure that
critical guests don't loose their protection.

Introduce a way for userland to save and restore the workarounds state.
On restoring we do checks that make sure we don't downgrade our
mitigation level.

Recent commits added the explicit notion of "workaround not required" to
the state of the Spectre v2 (aka. BP_HARDENING) workaround, where we
just had "needed" and "unknown" before.

Export this knowledge to the rest of the kernel and enhance the existing
kvm_arm_harden_branch_predictor() to report this new state as well.
Export this new state to guests when they use KVM's firmware interface
emulation.
