KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS is irrevocably broken. The capability does not
advertise the set of quirks which may be disabled to userspace, so it is
impossible to predict the behavior of KVM. Worse yet,
KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS will tolerate any value for cap->args[0], meaning
it fails to reject attempts to set invalid quirk bits.
The only valid workaround for the quirky quirks API is to add a new CAP.
Actually advertise the set of quirks that can be disabled to userspace
so it can predict KVM's behavior. Reject values for cap->args[0] that
contain invalid bits.
Finally, add documentation for the new capability and describe the
existing quirks.

Add KVM_CAP_PPC_AIL_MODE_3 to advertise the capability to set the AIL
resource mode to 3 with the H_SET_MODE hypercall. This capability
differs between processor types and KVM types (PR, HV, Nested HV), and
affects guest-visible behaviour.
QEMU will implement a cap-ail-mode-3 to control this behaviour[1], and
use the KVM CAP if available to determine KVM support[2].

When handling reset and power-off PSCI calls from the guest, we
initialise X0 to PSCI_RET_INTERNAL_FAILURE in case the VMM tries to
re-run the vCPU after issuing the call.
Unfortunately, this also means that the VMM cannot see which PSCI call
was issued and therefore cannot distinguish between PSCI SYSTEM_RESET
and SYSTEM_RESET2 calls, which is necessary in order to determine the
validity of the "reset_type" in X1.
Allocate bit 0 of the previously unused 'flags' field of the
system_event structure so that we can indicate the PSCI call used to
initiate the reset.

Userspace can assign a PMU to a VCPU with the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_SET_PMU
device ioctl. If the VCPU is scheduled on a physical CPU which has a
different PMU, the perf events needed to emulate a guest PMU won't be
scheduled in and the guest performance counters will stop counting. Treat
it as an userspace error and refuse to run the VCPU in this situation.

When KVM creates an event and there are more than one PMUs present on the
system, perf_init_event() will go through the list of available PMUs and
will choose the first one that can create the event. The order of the PMUs
in this list depends on the probe order, which can change under various
circumstances, for example if the order of the PMU nodes change in the DTB
or if asynchronous driver probing is enabled on the kernel command line
(with the driver_async_probe=armv8-pmu option).
Another consequence of this approach is that on heteregeneous systems all
virtual machines that KVM creates will use the same PMU. This might cause
unexpected behaviour for userspace: when a VCPU is executing on the
physical CPU that uses this default PMU, PMU events in the guest work
correctly; but when the same VCPU executes on another CPU, PMU events in
the guest will suddenly stop counting.
Fortunately, perf core allows user to specify on which PMU to create an
event by using the perf_event_attr->type field, which is used by
perf_init_event() as an index in the radix tree of available PMUs.
Add the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_CTRL(KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_SET_PMU) VCPU
attribute to allow userspace to specify the arm_pmu that KVM will use when
creating events for that VCPU. KVM will make no attempt to run the VCPU on
the physical CPUs that share the PMU, leaving it up to userspace to manage
the VCPU threads' affinity accordingly.
To ensure that KVM doesn't expose an asymmetric system to the guest, the
PMU set for one VCPU will be used by all other VCPUs. Once a VCPU has run,
the PMU cannot be changed in order to avoid changing the list of available
events for a VCPU, or to change the semantics of existing events.

Userspace can specify which events a guest is allowed to use with the
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER attribute. The list of allowed events can be
identified by a guest from reading the PMCEID{0,1}_EL0 registers.
Changing the PMU event filter after a VCPU has run can cause reads of the
registers performed before the filter is changed to return different values
than reads performed with the new event filter in place. The architecture
defines the two registers as read-only, and this behaviour contradicts
that.
Keep track when the first VCPU has run and deny changes to the PMU event
filter to prevent this from happening.

KVM: SVM: drop unnecessary code in svm_hv_vmcb_dirty_nested_enlightenments()
KVM: SVM: hyper-v: Enable Enlightened MSR-Bitmap support for real
...
Because KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID is meant to be passed (by simple-minded
VMMs) to KVM_SET_CPUID2, it cannot include any dynamic xsave states that
have not been enabled. Probing those, for example so that they can be
passed to ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM, requires a new ioctl or arch_prctl.
The latter is in fact worse, even though that is what the rest of the
API uses, because it would require supported_xcr0 to be moved from the
KVM module to the kernel just for this use. In addition, the value
would be nonsensical (or an error would have to be returned) until
the KVM module is loaded in.
Therefore, to limit the growth of system ioctls, add a /dev/kvm
variant of KVM_{GET,HAS}_DEVICE_ATTR, and implement it in x86
with just one group (0) and attribute (KVM_X86_XCOMP_GUEST_SUPP).

With KVM_CAP_XSAVE, userspace uses a hardcoded 4KB buffer to get/set
xstate data from/to KVM. This doesn't work when dynamic xfeatures
(e.g. AMX) are exposed to the guest as they require a larger buffer
size.
Introduce a new capability (KVM_CAP_XSAVE2). Userspace VMM gets the
required xstate buffer size via KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_XSAVE2).
KVM_SET_XSAVE is extended to work with both legacy and new capabilities
by doing properly-sized memdup_user() based on the guest fpu container.
KVM_GET_XSAVE is kept for backward-compatible reason. Instead,
KVM_GET_XSAVE2 is introduced under KVM_CAP_XSAVE2 as the preferred
interface for getting xstate buffer (4KB or larger size) from KVM
(Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/12/15/510)
Also, update the api doc with the new KVM_GET_XSAVE2 ioctl.

KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID should not include any dynamic xstates in
CPUID[0xD] if they have not been requested with prctl. Otherwise
a process which directly passes KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to
KVM_SET_CPUID2 would now fail even if it doesn't intend to use a
dynamically enabled feature. Userspace must know that prctl is
required and allocate >4K xstate buffer before setting any dynamic
bit.

This adds basic support for delivering 2 level event channels to a guest.
Initially, it only supports delivery via the IRQ routing table, triggered
by an eventfd. In order to do so, it has a kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast()
function which will use the pre-mapped shared_info page if it already
exists and is still valid, while the slow path through the irqfd_inject
workqueue will remap the shared_info page if necessary.
It sets the bits in the shared_info page but not the vcpu_info; that is
deferred to __kvm_xen_has_interrupt() which raises the vector to the
appropriate vCPU.
Add a 'verbose' mode to xen_shinfo_test while adding test cases for this.

Use the newly reinstated gfn_to_pfn_cache to maintain a kernel mapping
of the Xen shared_info page so that it can be accessed in atomic context.
Note that we do not participate in dirty tracking for the shared info
page and we do not explicitly mark it dirty every single tim we deliver
an event channel interrupts. We wouldn't want to do that even if we *did*
have a valid vCPU context with which to do so.

Add new module parameter to allow users to use SEV_INIT_EX instead of
SEV_INIT. This helps users who lock their SPI bus to use the PSP for SEV
functionality. The 'init_ex_path' parameter defaults to NULL which means
the kernel will use SEV_INIT, if a path is specified SEV_INIT_EX will be
used with the data found at the path. On certain PSP commands this
file is written to as the PSP updates the NV memory region. Depending on
file system initialization this file open may fail during module init
but the CCP driver for SEV already has sufficient retries for platform
initialization. During normal operation of PSP system and SEV commands
if the PSP has not been initialized it is at run time. If the file at
'init_ex_path' does not exist the PSP will not be initialized. The user
must create the file prior to use with 32Kb of 0xFFs per spec.

This bit is very close to mean "role.quadrant is not in use", except that
it is false also when the MMU is mapping guest physical addresses
directly. In that case, role.quadrant is indeed not in use, but there
are no guest PTEs at all.
Changing the name and direction of the bit removes the special case,
since a guest with paging disabled, or not considering guest paging
structures as is the case for two-dimensional paging, does not have
to deal with 4-byte guest PTEs.

Add support for AMD SEV and SEV-ES intra-host migration support. Intra
host migration provides a low-cost mechanism for userspace VMM upgrades.
In the common case for intra host migration, we can rely on the normal
ioctls for passing data from one VMM to the next. SEV, SEV-ES, and other
confidential compute environments make most of this information opaque, and
render KVM ioctls such as "KVM_GET_REGS" irrelevant. As a result, we need
the ability to pass this opaque metadata from one VMM to the next. The
easiest way to do this is to leave this data in the kernel, and transfer
ownership of the metadata from one KVM VM (or vCPU) to the next. In-kernel
hand off makes it possible to move any data that would be
unsafe/impossible for the kernel to hand directly to userspace, and
cannot be reproduced using data that can be handed to userspace.

For SEV to work with intra host migration, contents of the SEV info struct
such as the ASID (used to index the encryption key in the AMD SP) and
the list of memory regions need to be transferred to the target VM.
This change adds a commands for a target VMM to get a source SEV VM's sev
info.

Introduce a KVM selftest to verify that userspace manipulation of the
TSC (via the new vCPU attribute) results in the correct behavior within
the guest.

To date, VMM-directed TSC synchronization and migration has been a bit
messy. KVM has some baked-in heuristics around TSC writes to infer if
the VMM is attempting to synchronize. This is problematic, as it depends
on host userspace writing to the guest's TSC within 1 second of the last
write.
A much cleaner approach to configuring the guest's views of the TSC is to
simply migrate the TSC offset for every vCPU. Offsets are idempotent,
and thus not subject to change depending on when the VMM actually
reads/writes values from/to KVM. The VMM can then read the TSC once with
KVM_GET_CLOCK to capture a (realtime, host_tsc) pair at the instant when
the guest is paused.

Handling the migration of TSCs correctly is difficult, in part because
Linux does not provide userspace with the ability to retrieve a (TSC,
realtime) clock pair for a single instant in time. In lieu of a more
convenient facility, KVM can report similar information in the kvm_clock
structure.
Provide userspace with a host TSC & realtime pair iff the realtime clock
is based on the TSC. If userspace provides KVM_SET_CLOCK with a valid
realtime value, advance the KVM clock by the amount of elapsed time. Do
not step the KVM clock backwards, though, as it is a monotonic
oscillator.

KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ will allow KVM to block all interrupts
while running.
This change is mostly intended for more robust single stepping
of the guest and it has the following benefits when enabled:
* Resuming from a breakpoint is much more reliable.
When resuming execution from a breakpoint, with interrupts enabled,
more often than not, KVM would inject an interrupt and make the CPU
jump immediately to the interrupt handler and eventually return to
the breakpoint, to trigger it again.
From the user point of view it looks like the CPU never executed a
single instruction and in some cases that can even prevent forward
progress, for example, when the breakpoint is placed by an automated
script (e.g lx-symbols), which does something in response to the
breakpoint and then continues the guest automatically.
If the script execution takes enough time for another interrupt to
arrive, the guest will be stuck on the same breakpoint RIP forever.
* Normal single stepping is much more predictable, since it won't
land the debugger into an interrupt handler.
* RFLAGS.TF has less chance to be leaked to the guest:
We set that flag behind the guest's back to do single stepping
but if single step lands us into an interrupt/exception handler
it will be leaked to the guest in the form of being pushed
to the stack.
This doesn't completely eliminate this problem as exceptions
can still happen, but at least this reduces the chances
of this happening.
