KVM fixes for 6.10

 - Fix a "shift too big" goof in the KVM_SEV_INIT2 selftest.

 - Compute the max mappable gfn for KVM selftests on x86 using GuestMaxPhyAddr
   from KVM's supported CPUID (if it's available).

 - Fix a race in kvm_vcpu_on_spin() by ensuring loads and stores are atomic.

 - Fix technically benign bug in __kvm_handle_hva_range() where KVM consumes
   the return from a void-returning function as if it were a boolean.

Function kvm_reset_dirty_gfn may be called with parameters cur_slot /
cur_offset / mask are all zero, it does not represent real dirty page.
It is not necessary to clear dirty page in this condition. Also return
value of macro __fls() is undefined if mask is zero which is called in
funciton kvm_reset_dirty_gfn(). Here just return.

If kvm_gmem_get_pfn() detects an hwpoisoned page, it returns -EHWPOISON
but it does not put back the reference that kvm_gmem_get_folio() had

Some allocations done by KVM are temporary, they are created as result
of program actions, but can't exists for arbitrary long times.

They should have been GFP_TEMPORARY (rip!).

OTOH, kvm-nx-lpage-recovery and kvm-pit kernel threads exist for as long
as VM exists but their task_struct memory is not accounted.
This is story for another day.

<title>KVM: Stop processing *all* memslots when "null" mmu_notifier handler is found</title>

<id>c3f3edf73a8f854f8766a69d2734198a58762e33</id>
<content type='text'>
Bail from outer address space loop, not just the inner memslot loop, when
a "null" handler is encountered by __kvm_handle_hva_range(), which is the
intended behavior.  On x86, which has multiple address spaces thanks to
SMM emulation, breaking from just the memslot loop results in undefined
behavior due to assigning the non-existent return value from kvm_null_fn()
to a bool.

In practice, the bug is benign as kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()
is the only caller that passes handler=kvm_null_fn, and it doesn't set
flush_on_ret, i.e. assigning garbage to r.ret is ultimately ignored.  And
for most configuration the compiler elides the entire sequence, i.e. there
is no undefined behavior at runtime.

Use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to access kvm-&gt;last_boosted_vcpu to ensure the
loads and stores are atomic.  In the extremely unlikely scenario the
compiler tears the stores, it's theoretically possible for KVM to attempt
to get a vCPU using an out-of-bounds index, e.g. if the write is split
into multiple 8-bit stores, and is paired with a 32-bit load on a VM with
257 vCPUs:

  CPU0                              CPU1
  last_boosted_vcpu = 0xff;

                                    (last_boosted_vcpu = 0x100)
                                    last_boosted_vcpu[15:8] = 0x01;

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

   - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
     "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

   - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
     follow_pfn".

   - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
     page-&gt;flags cleanups".

   - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
     series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

   - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
	"khugepaged folio conversions"
	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.10:

 - Advertise the max mappable GPA in the "guest MAXPHYADDR" CPUID field, which
   is unused by hardware, so that KVM can communicate its inability to map GPAs
   that set bits 51:48 due to lack of 5-level paging.  Guest firmware is
   expected to use the information to safely remap BARs in the uppermost GPA
   space, i.e to avoid placing a BAR at a legal, but unmappable, GPA.

 - Use vfree() instead of kvfree() for allocations that always use vcalloc()
   or __vcalloc().

 - Don't completely ignore same-value writes to immutable feature MSRs, as
   doing so results in KVM failing to reject accesses to MSR that aren't
   supposed to exist given the vCPU model and/or KVM configuration.

 - Don't mark APICv as being inhibited due to ABSENT if APICv is disabled
   KVM-wide to avoid confusing debuggers (KVM will never bother clearing the
   ABSENT inhibit, even if userspace enables in-kernel local APIC).

KVM cleanups for 6.10:

 - Misc cleanups extracted from the "exit on missing userspace mapping" series,
   which has been put on hold in anticipation of a "KVM Userfault" approach,
   which should provide a superset of functionality.

 - Remove kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except(), which got added to hack around an

KVM/arm64 updates for Linux 6.10

- Move a lot of state that was previously stored on a per vcpu
  basis into a per-CPU area, because it is only pertinent to the
  host while the vcpu is loaded. This results in better state
  tracking, and a smaller vcpu structure.

- Add full handling of the ERET/ERETAA/ERETAB instructions in
  nested virtualisation. The last two instructions also require
  emulating part of the pointer authentication extension.
  As a result, the trap handling of pointer authentication has
  been greattly simplified.

- Turn the global (and not very scalable) LPI translation cache
  into a per-ITS, scalable cache, making non directly injected
  LPIs much cheaper to make visible to the vcpu.

- A batch of pKVM patches, mostly fixes and cleanups, as the
  upstreaming process seems to be resuming. Fingers crossed!

- Allocate PPIs and SGIs outside of the vcpu structure, allowing
  for smaller EL2 mapping and some flexibility in implementing
  more or less than 32 private IRQs.

- Purge stale mpidr_data if a vcpu is created after the MPIDR
  map has been created.

- Preserve vcpu-specific ID registers across a vcpu reset.

- Various minor cleanups and improvements.

  for smaller EL2 mapping and some flexibility in implementing
  more or less than 32 private IRQs.

- Purge stale mpidr_data if a vcpu is created after the MPIDR
  map has been created.

- Preserve vcpu-specific ID registers across a vcpu reset.

- Various minor cleanups and improvements.
