KVM/arm64 changes for 6.17, take #2
- Correctly handle 'invariant' system registers for protected VMs
- Improved handling of VNCR data aborts, including external aborts
- Fixes for handling of FEAT_RAS for NV guests, providing a sane
fault context during SEA injection and preventing the use of
RASv1p1 fault injection hardware
- Ensure that page table destruction when a VM is destroyed gives an
opportunity to reschedule
- Large fix to KVM's infrastructure for managing guest context loaded
on the CPU, addressing issues where the output of AT emulation
doesn't get reflected to the guest
- Fix AT S12 emulation to actually perform stage-2 translation when
necessary
- Avoid attempting vLPI irqbypass when GICv4 has been explicitly
disabled for a VM
- Minor KVM + selftest fixes
In pKVM, a race condition can occur if a guest updates its VBAR_EL1
register and, before a vCPU exit synchronizes this change, the
hypervisor needs to inject an undefined exception into a protected
guest.
In this scenario, the vCPU still holds the stale VBAR_EL1 value from
before the guest's update. When pKVM injects the exception, it ends up
using the stale value.
Explicitly read the live value of VBAR_EL1 from the guest and update the
vCPU value immediately before pending the exception. This ensures the
vCPU's value is the same as the guest's and that the exception will be
handled at the correct address upon resuming the guest.

Since commit 17efc1acee ("arm64: Expose AIDR_EL1 via sysfs"), AIDR_EL1
is read early during boot. Therefore, a guest running as a protected VM
will fail to boot because when it attempts to access AIDR_EL1, access to
that register is restricted in pKVM for protected guests.
Similar to how MIDR_EL1 is handled by the host for protected VMs, let
the host handle accesses to AIDR_EL1 as well as REVIDR_EL1. However note
that, unlike MIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1 and REVIDR_EL1 are trapped by
HCR_EL2.TID1. Therefore, explicitly mark them as handled by the host for
protected VMs. TID1 is always set in pKVM, because it needs to restrict
access to SMIDR_EL1, which is also trapped by that bit.

The BUG_ON() macro adds a little bit of complexity over BUG(), and in
some cases this ends up confusing the compiler's control flow analysis
in a way that results in a warning. This one now shows up with clang-21:
arch/arm64/kvm/vgic/vgic-mmio.c:1094:3: error: variable 'len' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
1094 | BUG_ON(1);
Change both instances of BUG_ON(1) to a plain BUG() in the arm64 kvm
code, to avoid the false-positive warning.

- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.
While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

While BRBE can record branches within guests, the host recording
branches in guests is not supported by perf (though events are).
Support for BRBE in guests will supported by providing direct access
to BRBE within the guests. That is how x86 LBR works for guests.
Therefore, BRBE needs to be disabled on guest entry and restored on
exit.
For nVHE, this requires explicit handling for guests. Before
entering a guest, save the BRBE state and disable the it. When
returning to the host, restore the state.
For VHE, it is not necessary. We initialize
BRBCR_EL1.{E1BRE,E0BRE}=={0,0} at boot time, and HCR_EL2.TGE==1 while
running in the host. We configure BRBCR_EL2.{E2BRE,E0HBRE} to enable
branch recording in the host. When entering the guest, we set
HCR_EL2.TGE==0 which means BRBCR_EL1 is used instead of BRBCR_EL2.
Consequently for VHE, BRBE recording is disabled at EL1 and EL0 when
running a guest.
Should recording in guests (by the host) ever be desired, the perf ABI
will need to be extended to distinguish guest addresses (struct
perf_branch_entry.priv) for starters. BRBE records would also need to be
invalidated on guest entry/exit as guest/host EL1 and EL0 records can't
be distinguished.

host_stage2_adjust_range() tries to find the largest block mapping that
fits within a memory or mmio region (represented by a kvm_mem_range in
this function) during host stage-2 faults under pKVM. To do so, it walks
the host stage-2 page-table, finds the faulting PTE and its level, and
then progressively increments the level until it finds a granule of the
appropriate size. However, the condition in the loop implementing the
above is broken as it checks kvm_level_supports_block_mapping() for the
next level instead of the current, so pKVM may attempt to map a region
larger than can be covered with a single block.
This is not a security problem and is quite rare in practice (the
kvm_mem_range check usually forces host_stage2_adjust_range() to choose a
smaller granule), but this is clearly not the expected behaviour.
Refactor the loop to fix the bug and improve readability.

There's no need for fpsimd_sve_sync() to write to CPTR/CPACR. All
relevant traps are always disabled earlier within __kvm_vcpu_run(), when
__deactivate_cptr_traps() configures CPTR/CPACR.
With irrelevant details elided, the flow is:
handle___kvm_vcpu_run(...)
{
flush_hyp_vcpu(...) {
fpsimd_sve_flush(...);
}
__kvm_vcpu_run(...) {
__activate_traps(...) {

} while (...);
__deactivate_traps(....) {

}

}
Remove the unnecessary write to CPTR/CPACR. An ISB is still necessary,
so a comment is added to describe this requirement.

The NVHE/HVHE and VHE modes have separate implementations of
__activate_cptr_traps() and __deactivate_cptr_traps() in their
respective switch.c files. There's some duplication of logic, and it's
not currently possible to reuse this logic elsewhere.
Move the logic into the common switch.h header so that it can be reused,
and de-duplicate the common logic.
This rework changes the way SVE traps are deactivated in VHE mode,
aligning it with NVHE/HVHE modes:
* Before this patch, VHE's __deactivate_cptr_traps() would
unconditionally enable SVE for host EL2 (but not EL0), regardless of
whether the ARM64_SVE cpucap was set.
* After this patch, VHE's __deactivate_cptr_traps() will take the
ARM64_SVE cpucap into account. When ARM64_SVE is not set, SVE will be
trapped from EL2 and below.
The old and new behaviour are both benign:
* When ARM64_SVE is not set, the host will not touch SVE state, and will
not reconfigure SVE traps. Host EL0 access to SVE will be trapped as
expected.
* When ARM64_SVE is set, the host will configure EL0 SVE traps before
returning to EL0 as part of reloading the EL0 FPSIMD/SVE/SME state.

KVM/arm64 fixes for 6.16, take #2
- Rework of system register accessors for system registers that are
directly writen to memory, so that sanitisation of the in-memory
value happens at the correct time (after the read, or before the
write). For convenience, RMW-style accessors are also provided.
- Multiple fixes for the so-called "arch-timer-edge-cases' selftest,
which was always broken.
Assigning a value to a system register doesn't do what it is
supposed to be doing if that register is one that has RESx bits.
The main problem is that we use __vcpu_sys_reg(), which can be used
both as a lvalue and rvalue. When used as a lvalue, the bit masking
occurs *before* the new value is assigned, meaning that we (1) do
pointless work on the old cvalue, and (2) potentially assign an
invalid value as we fail to apply the masks to it.
Fix this by providing a new __vcpu_assign_sys_reg() that does
what it says on the tin, and sanitises the *new* value instead of
the old one. This comes with a significant amount of churn.

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.16
* New features:
- Add large stage-2 mapping support for non-protected pKVM guests,
clawing back some performance.
- Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE and
protected modes.
- Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it
(yes, it has been a long time coming), though it is disabled by
default.
* Improvements, fixes and cleanups:
- Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
them with the effects of control bits. This ensures correctness of
emulation (the data is automatically extracted from the published
JSON files), and helps dealing with the evolution of the
architecture.
- Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,
avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's
vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above.
- New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules
- Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests
even if the host didn't have it.
- Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be
rather buggy in some specific contexts.
- Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N
from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a
number of issues in the process.
- Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a
guest.
- Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the
kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly
bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW.
- Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers
from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2
are heavily synchronised.
- Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS
tables in a human-friendly fashion.

With the introduction of stage-2 huge mappings in the pKVM hypervisor,
guest pages CMO is needed for PMD_SIZE size. Fixmap only supports
PAGE_SIZE and iterating over the huge-page is time consuming (mostly due
to TLBI on hyp_fixmap_unmap) which is a problem for EL2 latency.
Introduce a shared PMD_SIZE fixmap (hyp_fixblock_map/hyp_fixblock_unmap)
to improve guest page CMOs when stage-2 huge mappings are installed.
On a Pixel6, the iterative solution resulted in a latency of ~700us,
while the PMD_SIZE fixmap reduces it to ~100us.
Because of the horrendous private range allocation that would be
necessary, this is disabled for 64KiB pages systems.

On AmpereOne AC04, updates to HCR_EL2 can rarely corrupt simultaneous
translations for data addresses initiated by load/store instructions.
Only instruction initiated translations are vulnerable, not translations
from prefetches for example. A DSB before the store to HCR_EL2 is
sufficient to prevent older instructions from hitting the window for
corruption, and an ISB after is sufficient to prevent younger
instructions from hitting the window for corruption.

The nVHE hypervisor needs to have access to its own view of the FGT
masks, which unfortunately results in a bit of data duplication.

We have recently found a bug [1] in the pKVM memory ownership
transitions by code inspection, but it could have been caught with a
test.
Introduce a boot-time selftest exercising all the known pKVM memory
transitions and importantly checks the rejection of illegal transitions.
The new test is hidden behind a new Kconfig option separate from
CONFIG_EL2_NVHE_DEBUG on purpose as that has side effects on the
transition checks ([1] doesn't reproduce with EL2 debug enabled).

We currently WARN() if the host attempts to share a page that is not in
an acceptable state with a guest. This isn't strictly necessary and
makes testing much harder, so drop the WARN and make sure to propage the
error code instead.

We currently blindly map into EL2 stage-1 *any* page passed to the
__pkvm_host_share_hyp() HVC. This is less than ideal from a security
perspective as it makes exploitation of potential hypervisor gadgets
easier than it should be. But interestingly, pKVM should never need to
access SHARED_BORROWED pages that it hasn't previously pinned, so there
is no need to map the page before that.

Tracking the hypervisor's ownership state into struct hyp_page has
several benefits, including allowing far more efficient lookups (no
page-table walk needed) and de-corelating the state from the presence
of a mapping. This will later allow to map pages into EL2 stage-1 less
proactively which is generally a good thing for security. And in the
future this will help with tracking the state of pages mapped into the
hypervisor's private range without requiring an alias into the 'linear
map' range.

The pKVM FF-A proxy rejects FF-A requests other than FFA_VERSION until
version negotiation is complete, which is signalled by setting the
global 'has_version_negotiated' variable.
To avoid excessive locking, this variable is checked directly from
kvm_host_ffa_handler() in response to an FF-A call, but this can race
against another CPU performing the negotiation and potentially lead to
reading a torn value (incredibly unlikely for a 'bool') or problematic
re-ordering of the accesses to 'has_version_negotiated' and
'hyp_ffa_version' whereby a stale version number could be read by
__do_ffa_mem_xfer().
Use acquire/release primitives when writing 'has_version_negotiated'
with the version lock held and when reading without the lock held.

Don't re-walk the page tables if an SEA occurred during the faulting
page table walk to avoid taking a fatal exception in the hyp.
Additionally, check that FAR_EL2 is valid for SEAs not taken on PTW
as the architecture doesn't guarantee it contains the fault VA.
Finally, fix up the rest of the abort path by checking for SEAs early
and bugging the VM if we get further along with an UNKNOWN fault IPA.

Instead of creating and initializing _all_ hyp vcpus in pKVM when
the first host vcpu runs for the first time, initialize _each_
hyp vcpu in conjunction with its corresponding host vcpu.
Some of the host vcpu state (e.g., system registers and traps
values) is not initialized until the first time the host vcpu is
run. Therefore, initializing a hyp vcpu before its corresponding
host vcpu has run for the first time might not view the complete
host state of these vcpus.
Additionally, this behavior is inline with non-protected modes.

Since commit 2843cae266 ("KVM: arm64: Treat CTR_EL0 as a VM feature
ID register") KVM has allowed userspace to configure the VM-wide view of
CTR_EL0, falling back to trap-n-emulate if the value doesn't match
hardware. It appears that this has worked by chance in protected-mode
for some time, and on systems with FEAT_EVT protected-mode
unconditionally sets TID4 (i.e. TID2 traps sans CTR_EL0).
Forward the guest CTR_EL0 value through to the hyp VM and align the
TID2/TID4 configuration with the non-protected setup.
