When preparing vmcb02 for nested VMRUN (or state restore), "enter" guest
mode prior to initializing the MMU for nested NPT so that guest_mode is
set in the MMU's role. KVM's model is that all L2 MMUs are tagged with
guest_mode, as the behavior of hypervisor MMUs tends to be significantly
different than kernel MMUs.
Practically speaking, the bug is relatively benign, as KVM only directly
queries role.guest_mode in kvm_mmu_free_guest_mode_roots() and
kvm_mmu_page_ad_need_write_protect(), which SVM doesn't use, and in paths
that are optimizations (mmu_page_zap_pte() and
shadow_mmu_try_split_huge_pages()).
And while the role is incorprated into shadow page usage, because nested
NPT requires KVM to be using NPT for L1, reusing shadow pages across L1
and L2 is impossible as L1 MMUs will always have direct=1, while L2 MMUs
will have direct=0.
Hoist the TLB processing and setting of HF_GUEST_MASK to the beginning
of the flow instead of forcing guest_mode in the MMU, as nothing in
nested_vmcb02_prepare_control() between the old and new locations touches
TLB flush requests or HF_GUEST_MASK, i.e. there's no reason to present
inconsistent vCPU state to the MMU.

Some libraries want to ensure they are single threaded before forking,
so making the kernel's kvm huge page recovery process a vhost task of
the user process breaks those. The minijail library used by crosvm is
one such affected application.
Defer the task to after the first VM_RUN call, which occurs after the
parent process has forked all its jailed processes. This needs to happen
only once for the kvm instance, so introduce some general-purpose
infrastructure for that, too. It's similar in concept to pthread_once;
except it is actually usable, because the callback takes a parameter.

As part of enabling TDX virtual machines, support support separation of
private/shared EPT into separate roots.
Confidential computing solutions almost invariably have concepts of
private and shared memory, but they may different a lot in the details.
In SEV, for example, the bit is handled more like a permission bit as
far as the page tables are concerned: the private/shared bit is not
included in the physical address.
For TDX, instead, the bit is more like a physical address bit, with
the host mapping private memory in one half of the address space and
shared in another. Furthermore, the two halves are mapped by different
EPT roots and only the shared half is managed by KVM; the private half
(also called Secure EPT in Intel documentation) gets managed by the
privileged TDX Module via SEAMCALLs.
As a result, the operations that actually change the private half of
the EPT are limited and relatively slow compared to reading a PTE. For
this reason the design for KVM is to keep a mirror of the private EPT in
host memory. This allows KVM to quickly walk the EPT and only perform the
slower private EPT operations when it needs to actually modify mid-level
private PTEs.
There are thus three sets of EPT page tables: external, mirror and
direct. In the case of TDX (the only user of this framework) the
first two cover private memory, whereas the third manages shared
memory:
external EPT - Hidden within the TDX module, modified via TDX module
calls.
mirror EPT - Bookkeeping tree used as an optimization by KVM, not
used by the processor.
direct EPT - Normal EPT that maps unencrypted shared memory.
Managed like the EPT of a normal VM.
Modifying external EPT
----------------------
Modifications to the mirrored page tables need to also perform the
same operations to the private page tables, which will be handled via
kvm_x86_ops. Although this prep series does not interact with the TDX
module at all to actually configure the private EPT, it does lay the
ground work for doing this.
In some ways updating the private EPT is as simple as plumbing PTE
modifications through to also call into the TDX module; however, the
locking is more complicated because inserting a single PTE cannot anymore
be done atomically with a single CMPXCHG. For this reason, the existing
FROZEN_SPTE mechanism is used whenever a call to the TDX module updates the
private EPT. FROZEN_SPTE acts basically as a spinlock on a PTE. Besides
protecting operation of KVM, it limits the set of cases in which the
TDX module will encounter contention on its own PTE locks.
Zapping external EPT
--------------------
While the framework tries to be relatively generic, and to be
understandable without knowing TDX much in detail, some requirements of
TDX sometimes leak; for example the private page tables also cannot be
zapped while the range has anything mapped, so the mirrored/private page
tables need to be protected from KVM operations that zap any non-leaf
PTEs, for example kvm_mmu_reset_context() or kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast().
For normal VMs, guest memory is zapped for several reasons: user
memory getting paged out by the guest, memslots getting deleted,
passthrough of devices with non-coherent DMA. Confidential computing
adds to these the conversion of memory between shared and privates. These
operations must not zap any private memory that is in use by the guest.
This is possible because the only zapping that is out of the control
of KVM/userspace is paging out userspace memory, which cannot apply to
guestmemfd operations. Thus a TDX VM will only zap private memory from
memslot deletion and from conversion between private and shared memory
which is triggered by the guest.
To avoid zapping too much memory, enums are introduced so that operations
can choose to target only private or shared memory, and thus only
direct or mirror EPT. For example:
Memslot deletion - Private and shared
MMU notifier based zapping - Shared only
Conversion to shared - Private only
Conversion to private - Shared only
Other cases of zapping will not be supported for KVM, for example
APICv update or non-coherent DMA status update; for the latter, TDX will
simply require that the CPU supports self-snoop and honor guest PAT
unconditionally for shared memory.
- Overhaul KVM's CPUID feature infrastructure to replace "governed" features
with per-vCPU tracking of the vCPU's capabailities for all features. Along
the way, refactor the code to make it easier to add/modify features, and
add a variety of self-documenting macro types to again simplify adding new
features and to help readers understand KVM's handling of existing features.
- Rework KVM's handling of VM-Exits during event vectoring to plug holes where
KVM unintentionally puts the vCPU into infinite loops in some scenarios,
e.g. if emulation is triggered by the exit, and to bring parity between VMX
and SVM.
- Add pending request and interrupt injection information to the kvm_exit and
kvm_entry tracepoints respectively.
- Fix a relatively benign flaw where KVM would end up redoing RDPKRU when
loading guest/host PKRU due to a refactoring of the kernel helpers that
didn't account for KVM's pre-checking of the need to do WRPKRU.

KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.14:
- Add a comment to kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() to explain why KVM performs a
direct call to kvm_tdp_page_fault() when RETPOLINE is enabled.
Return RET_PF* (excluding RET_PF_EMULATE/RET_PF_CONTINUE/RET_PF_INVALID)
instead of 1 in kvm_mmu_page_fault().
The callers of kvm_mmu_page_fault() are KVM page fault handlers (i.e.,
npf_interception(), handle_ept_misconfig(), __vmx_handle_ept_violation(),
kvm_handle_page_fault()). They either check if the return value is > 0 (as
in npf_interception()) or pass it further to vcpu_run() to decide whether
to break out of the kernel loop and return to the user when r <= 0.
Therefore, returning any positive value is equivalent to returning 1.
Warn if r == RET_PF_CONTINUE (which should not be a valid value) to ensure
a positive return value.
This is a preparation to allow TDX's EPT violation handler to check the
RET_PF* value and retry internally for RET_PF_RETRY.
No functional changes are intended.

Add a few sanity checks to prevent memslot GFNs from ever having alias bits
set.
Like other Coco technologies, TDX has the concept of private and shared
memory. For TDX the private and shared mappings are managed on separate
EPT roots. The private half is managed indirectly though calls into a
protected runtime environment called the TDX module, where the shared half
is managed within KVM in normal page tables.
For TDX, the shared half will be mapped in the higher alias, with a "shared
bit" set in the GPA. However, KVM will still manage it with the same
memslots as the private half. This means memslot looks ups and zapping
operations will be provided with a GFN without the shared bit set.
If these memslot GFNs ever had the bit that selects between the two aliases
it could lead to unexpected behavior in the complicated code that directs
faulting or zapping operations between the roots that map the two aliases.
As a safety measure, prevent memslots from being set at a GFN range that
contains the alias bit.
Also, check in the kvm_faultin_pfn() for the fault path. This later check
does less today, as the alias bits are specifically stripped from the GFN
being checked, however future code could possibly call in to the fault
handler in a way that skips this stripping. Since kvm_faultin_pfn() now
has many references to vcpu->kvm, extract it to local variable.

Don't zap valid mirror roots in kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_all(), which in effect
is only direct roots (invalid and valid).
For TDX, kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_all() is only called during MMU notifier
release. Since, mirrored EPT comes from guest mem, it will never be
mapped to userspace, and won't apply. But in addition to be unnecessary,
mirrored EPT is cleaned up in a special way during VM destruction.
Pass the KVM_INVALID_ROOTS bit into __for_each_tdp_mmu_root_yield_safe()
as well, to clean up invalid direct roots, as is the current behavior.
While at it, remove an obsolete reference to work item-based zapping.

kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_roots() is called with different root types. For
kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() it only operates on shared roots. But when tearing
down a VM it needs to invalidate all roots. Have the callers only

Within kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_roots(), respect the root type

Integrate hooks for mirroring page table operations for cases where TDX
will zap PTEs or free page tables.
Like other Coco technologies, TDX has the concept of private and shared

EPT roots. The private half is managed indirectly though calls into a
protected runtime environment called the TDX module, where the shared half
is managed within KVM in normal page tables.
Since calls into the TDX module are relatively slow, walking private page
tables by making calls into the TDX module would not be efficient. Because
of this, previous changes have taught the TDP MMU to keep a mirror root,
which is separate, unmapped TDP root that private operations can be
directed to. Currently this root is disconnected from the guest. Now add
plumbing to propagate changes to the "external" page tables being
mirrored. Just create the x86_ops for now, leave plumbing the operations
into the TDX module for future patches.
Add two operations for tearing down page tables, one for freeing page
tables (free_external_spt) and one for zapping PTEs (remove_external_spte).
Define them such that remove_external_spte will perform a TLB flush as
well. (in TDX terms "ensure there are no active translations").
TDX MMU support will exclude certain MMU operations, so only plug in the
mirroring x86 ops where they will be needed. For zapping/freeing, only
hook tdp_mmu_iter_set_spte() which is used for mapping and linking PTs.
Don't bother hooking tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() as it is only used for
zapping PTEs in operations unsupported by TDX: zapping collapsible PTEs and
kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast().
In previous changes to address races around concurrent populating using
tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic(), a solution was introduced to temporarily set
FROZEN_SPTE in the mirrored page tables while performing the external
operations. Such a solution is not needed for the tear down paths in TDX
as these will always be performed with the mmu_lock held for write.
Sprinkle some KVM_BUG_ON()s to reflect this.

mapping. Now add plumbing to propagate changes to the "external" page
tables being mirrored. Just create the x86_ops for now, leave plumbing the
operations into the TDX module for future patches.
Add two operations for setting up external page tables, one for linking
new page tables and one for setting leaf PTEs. Don't add any op for
configuring the root PFN, as TDX handles this itself. Don't provide a
way to set permissions on the PTEs also, as TDX doesn't support it.
This results in MMU "mirroring" support that is very targeted towards TDX.
Since it is likely there will be no other user, the main benefit of making
the support generic is to keep TDX specific *looking* code outside of the
MMU. As a generic feature it will make enough sense from TDX's
perspective. For developers unfamiliar with TDX arch it can express the
general concepts such that they can continue to work in the code.
TDX MMU support will exclude certain MMU operations, so only plug in the
mirroring x86 ops where they will be needed. For setting/linking, only
hook tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() which is used for mapping and linking
PTs. Don't bother hooking tdp_mmu_iter_set_spte() as it is only used for
setting PTEs in operations unsupported by TDX: splitting huge pages and
write protecting. Sprinkle KVM_BUG_ON()s to document as code that these
paths are not supported for mirrored page tables. For zapping operations,
leave those for near future changes.
Many operations in the TDP MMU depend on atomicity of the PTE update.
While the mirror PTE on KVM's side can be updated atomically, the update
that happens inside the external operations (S-EPT updates via TDX module
call) can't happen atomically with the mirror update. The following race
could result during two vCPU's populating private memory:
* vcpu 1: atomically update 2M level mirror EPT entry to be present
* vcpu 2: read 2M level EPT entry that is present
* vcpu 2: walk down into 4K level EPT
* vcpu 2: atomically update 4K level mirror EPT entry to be present
* vcpu 2: set_exterma;_spte() to update 4K secure EPT entry => error
because 2M secure EPT entry is not populated yet
* vcpu 1: link_external_spt() to update 2M secure EPT entry
Prevent this by setting the mirror PTE to FROZEN_SPTE while the reflect
operations are performed. Only write the actual mirror PTE value once the
reflect operations have completed. When trying to set a PTE to present and
encountering a frozen SPTE, retry the fault.
By doing this the race is prevented as follows:
* vcpu 1: atomically update 2M level EPT entry to be FROZEN_SPTE
* vcpu 2: read 2M level EPT entry that is FROZEN_SPTE
* vcpu 2: find that the EPT entry is frozen
abandon page table walk to resume guest execution
* vcpu 1: link_external_spt() to update 2M secure EPT entry
* vcpu 1: atomically update 2M level EPT entry to be present (unfreeze)
* vcpu 2: resume guest execution
Depending on vcpu 1 state, vcpu 2 may result in EPT violation
again or make progress on guest execution

Teach the MMU notifier callbacks how to check kvm_gfn_range.process to
filter which KVM MMU root types to operate on.
The private GPAs are backed by guest memfd. Such memory is not subjected
to MMU notifier callbacks because it can't be mapped into the host user
address space. Now kvm_gfn_range conveys info about which root to operate
on. Enhance the callback to filter the root page table type.
The KVM MMU notifier comes down to two functions.
kvm_tdp_mmu_unmap_gfn_range() and __kvm_tdp_mmu_age_gfn_range():
- invalidate_range_start() calls kvm_tdp_mmu_unmap_gfn_range()
- invalidate_range_end() doesn't call into arch code
- the other callbacks call __kvm_tdp_mmu_age_gfn_range()
For VM's without a private/shared split in the EPT, all operations
should target the normal(direct) root.
With the switch from for_each_tdp_mmu_root() to
__for_each_tdp_mmu_root() in kvm_tdp_mmu_handle_gfn(), there are no
longer any users of for_each_tdp_mmu_root(). Remove it.

Add the ability for the TDP MMU to maintain a mirror of a separate
mapping.
Like other Coco technologies, TDX has the concept of private and shared
memory. For TDX the private and shared mappings are managed on separate
EPT roots. The private half is managed indirectly through calls into a
protected runtime environment called the TDX module, where the shared half
is managed within KVM in normal page tables.
In order to handle both shared and private memory, KVM needs to learn to
handle faults and other operations on the correct root for the operation.
KVM could learn the concept of private roots, and operate on them by
calling out to operations that call into the TDX module. But there are two
problems with that:
1. Calls into the TDX module are relatively slow compared to the simple
accesses required to read a PTE managed directly by KVM.
2. Other Coco technologies deal with private memory completely differently
and it will make the code confusing when being read from their
perspective. Special operations added for TDX that set private or zap
private memory will have nothing to do with these other private memory
technologies. (SEV, etc).
To handle these, instead teach the TDP MMU about a new concept "mirror
roots". Such roots maintain page tables that are not actually mapped,
and are just used to traverse quickly to determine if the mid level page
tables need to be installed. When the memory be mirrored needs to actually
be changed, calls can be made to via x86_ops.

Leave calling out to actually update the private page tables that are being
mirrored for later changes. Just implement the handling of MMU operations
on to mirrored roots.
In order to direct operations to correct root, add root types
KVM_DIRECT_ROOTS and KVM_MIRROR_ROOTS. Tie the usage of mirrored/direct
roots to private/shared with conditionals. It could also be implemented by
making the kvm_tdp_mmu_root_types and kvm_gfn_range_filter enum bits line
up such that conversion could be a direct assignment with a case. Don't do
this because the mapping of private to mirrored is confusing enough. So it
is worth not hiding the logic in type casting.
Cleanup the mirror root in kvm_mmu_destroy() instead of the normal place
in kvm_mmu_free_roots(), because the private root that is being cannot be
rebuilt like a normal root. It needs to persist for the lifetime of the VM.
The TDX module will also need to be provided with page tables to use for
the actual mapping being mirrored by the mirrored page tables. Allocate
these in the mapping path using the recently added
kvm_mmu_alloc_external_spt().
Don't support 2M page for now. This is avoided by forcing 4k pages in the
fault. Add a KVM_BUG_ON() to verify.

Define an enum kvm_tdp_mmu_root_types to specify the KVM MMU root type [1]
so that the iterator on the root page table can consistently filter the
root page table type instead of only_valid.
TDX KVM will operate on KVM page tables with specified types. Shared page
table, private page table, or both. Introduce an enum instead of bool
only_valid so that we can easily enhance page table types applicable to
shared, private, or both in addition to valid or not. Replace
only_valid=false with KVM_ANY_ROOTS and only_valid=true with
KVM_ANY_VALID_ROOTS. Use KVM_ANY_ROOTS and KVM_ANY_VALID_ROOTS to wrap
KVM_VALID_ROOTS to avoid further code churn when direct vs mirror root
concepts are introduced in future patches.

Teach the MMU to map guest GFNs at a massaged position on the TDP, to aid
in implementing TDX shared memory.
Like other Coco technologies, TDX has the concept of private and shared
memory. For TDX the private and shared mappings are managed on separate
EPT roots. The private half is managed indirectly through calls into a
protected runtime environment called the TDX module, where the shared half
is managed within KVM in normal page tables.
For TDX, the shared half will be mapped in the higher alias, with a "shared
bit" set in the GPA. However, KVM will still manage it with the same
memslots as the private half. This means memslot looks ups and zapping
operations will be provided with a GFN without the shared bit set.
So KVM will either need to apply or strip the shared bit before mapping or
zapping the shared EPT. Having GFNs sometimes have the shared bit and
sometimes not would make the code confusing.
So instead arrange the code such that GFNs never have shared bit set.
Create a concept of "direct bits", that is stripped from the fault
address when setting fault->gfn, and applied within the TDP MMU iterator.
Calling code will behave as if it is operating on the PTE mapping the GFN
(without shared bits) but within the iterator, the actual mappings will be
shifted using bits specific for the root. SPs will have the GFN set
without the shared bit. In the end the TDP MMU will behave like it is
mapping things at the GFN without the shared bit but with a strange page
table format where everything is offset by the shared bit.
Since TDX only needs to shift the mapping like this for the shared bit,
which is mapped as the normal TDP root, add a "gfn_direct_bits" field to
the kvm_arch structure for each VM with a default value of 0. It will
have the bit set at the position of the GPA shared bit in GFN through TD
specific initialization code. Keep TDX specific concepts out of the MMU
code by not naming it "shared".
Ranged TLB flushes (i.e. flush_remote_tlbs_range()) target specific GFN
ranges. In convention established above, these would need to target the
shifted GFN range. It won't matter functionally, since the actual
implementation will always result in a full flush for the only planned
user (TDX). For correctness reasons, future changes can provide a TDX
x86_ops.flush_remote_tlbs_range implementation to return -EOPNOTSUPP and
force the full flush for TDs.
This leaves one problem. Some operations use a concept of max GFN (i.e.
kvm_mmu_max_gfn()), to iterate over the whole TDP range. When applying the
direct mask to the start of the range, the iterator would end up skipping
iterating over the range not covered by the direct mask bit. For safety,
make sure the __tdp_mmu_zap_root() operation iterates over the full GFN
range supported by the underlying TDP format. Add a new iterator helper,
for_each_tdp_pte_min_level_all(), that iterates the entire TDP GFN range,
regardless of root.

The kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root() function currently always returns 0. This
allows for the caller, mmu_alloc_direct_roots(), to call
kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root() and also return 0 in one line:
return kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root(vcpu);
So it is useful even though the return value of kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root()
is always the same. However, in future changes, kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root()
will be called twice in mmu_alloc_direct_roots(). This will force the
first call to either awkwardly handle the return value that will always
be zero or ignore it. So change kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root() to return void.
Do it in a separate change so the future change will be cleaner.

Introduce a "is_mirror" member to the kvm_mmu_page_role union to identify

The TDX module maintains the private half of the EPT mapped in the TD in
its protected memory. KVM keeps a copy of the private GPAs in a mirrored
EPT tree within host memory. This "is_mirror" attribute enables vCPUs to
find and get the root page of mirrored EPT from the MMU root list for a
guest TD. This also allows KVM MMU code to detect changes in mirrored EPT
according to the "is_mirror" mmu page role and propagate the changes to
the private EPT managed by TDX module.

Add an external pointer to struct kvm_mmu_page for TDX's private page table
and add helper functions to allocate/initialize/free a private page table
page. TDX will only be supported with the TDP MMU. Because KVM TDP MMU
doesn't use unsync_children and write_flooding_count, pack them to have
room for a pointer and use a union to avoid memory overhead.
For private GPA, CPU refers to a private page table whose contents are
encrypted. The dedicated APIs to operate on it (e.g. updating/reading its
PTE entry) are used, and their cost is expensive.
When KVM resolves the KVM page fault, it walks the page tables. To reuse
the existing KVM MMU code and mitigate the heavy cost of directly walking
the private page table allocate two sets of page tables for the private
half of the GPA space.
For the page tables that KVM will walk, allocate them like normal and refer
to them as mirror page tables. Additionally allocate one more page for the
page tables the CPU will walk, and call them external page tables. Resolve
the KVM page fault with the existing code, and do additional operations
necessary for modifying the external page table in future patches.
The relationship of the types of page tables in this scheme is depicted
below:
KVM page fault |
| |
V |
-------------+---------- |

V V |
shared GPA private GPA |
| | |
V V |

PT - Page table
Shared PT - Visible to KVM, and the CPU uses it for shared mappings.
External PT - The CPU uses it, but it is invisible to KVM. TDX module
updates this table to map private guest pages.
Mirror PT - It is visible to KVM, but the CPU doesn't use it. KVM uses
it to propagate PT change to the actual private PT.
Add a helper kvm_has_mirrored_tdp() to trigger this behavior and wire it
to the TDX vm type.

Add new members to strut kvm_gfn_range to indicate which mapping
(private-vs-shared) to operate on: enum kvm_gfn_range_filter
attr_filter. Update the core zapping operations to set them appropriately.
TDX utilizes two GPA aliases for the same memslots, one for memory that is
for private memory and one that is for shared. For private memory, KVM
cannot always perform the same operations it does on memory for default
VMs, such as zapping pages and having them be faulted back in, as this
requires guest coordination. However, some operations such as guest driven
conversion of memory between private and shared should zap private memory.
Internally to the MMU, private and shared mappings are tracked on separate
roots. Mapping and zapping operations will operate on the respective GFN
alias for each root (private or shared). So zapping operations will by
default zap both aliases. Add fields in struct kvm_gfn_range to allow
callers to specify which aliases so they can only target the aliases
appropriate for their specific operation.
There was feedback that target aliases should be specified such that the
default value (0) is to operate on both aliases. Several options were
considered. Several variations of having separate bools defined such
that the default behavior was to process both aliases. They either allowed
nonsensical configurations, or were confusing for the caller. A simple
enum was also explored and was close, but was hard to process in the
caller. Instead, use an enum with the default value (0) reserved as a
disallowed value. Catch ranges that didn't have the target aliases
specified by looking for that specific value.
Set target alias with enum appropriately for these MMU operations:
- For KVM's mmu notifier callbacks, zap shared pages only because private
pages won't have a userspace mapping
- For setting memory attributes, kvm_arch_pre_set_memory_attributes()
chooses the aliases based on the attribute.
- For guest_memfd invalidations, zap private only.

Prepare for a future TDX patch which asserts that atomic zapping
(i.e. zapping with mmu_lock taken for read) don't operate on mirror roots.
When tearing down a VM, all roots have to be zapped (including mirror
roots once they're in place) so do that with the mmu_lock taken for write.
kvm_mmu_uninit_tdp_mmu() is invoked either before or after executing any
atomic operations on SPTEs by vCPU threads. Therefore, it will not impact
vCPU threads performance if kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_invalidated_roots() acquires
mmu_lock for write to zap invalid roots.

Treat slow-path TDP MMU faults as spurious if the access is allowed given
the existing SPTE to fix a benign warning (other than the WARN itself)
due to replacing a writable SPTE with a read-only SPTE, and to avoid the
unnecessary LOCK CMPXCHG and subsequent TLB flush.
If a read fault races with a write fault, fast GUP fails for any reason
when trying to "promote" the read fault to a writable mapping, and KVM
resolves the write fault first, then KVM will end up trying to install a
read-only SPTE (for a !map_writable fault) overtop a writable SPTE.
Note, it's not entirely clear why fast GUP fails, or if that's even how
KVM ends up with a !map_writable fault with a writable SPTE. If something
else is going awry, e.g. due to a bug in mmu_notifiers, then treating read
faults as spurious in this scenario could effectively mask the underlying
problem.
However, retrying the faulting access instead of overwriting an existing
SPTE is functionally correct and desirable irrespective of the WARN, and
fast GUP _can_ legitimately fail with a writable VMA, e.g. if the Accessed
bit in primary MMU's PTE is toggled and causes a PTE value mismatch. The
WARN was also recently added, specifically to track down scenarios where
KVM is unnecessarily overwrites SPTEs, i.e. treating the fault as spurious
doesn't regress KVM's bug-finding capabilities in any way. In short,
letting the WARN linger because there's a tiny chance it's due to a bug
elsewhere would be excessively paranoid.

replace the "kvm_governed_feature" function prefix with "guest_cpu_cap"

The "guest_cpu_cap" naming scheme mirrors that of "kvm_cpu_cap", and
provides a more clear distinction between guest capabilities, which are
KVM controlled (heh, or one might say "governed"), and guest CPUID, which
with few exceptions is fully userspace controlled.

kvm_vm_create_worker_thread() is meant to be used for kthreads that
can consume significant amounts of CPU time on behalf of a VM or in
response to how the VM behaves (for example how it accesses its memory).
Therefore it wants to charge the CPU time consumed by that work to
the VM's container.
However, because of these threads, cgroups which have kvm instances
inside never complete freezing. This can be trivially reproduced:
root@test ~# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
root@test ~# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
root@test ~# qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -enable-kvm
and in another terminal:
root@test ~# echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.freeze
root@test ~# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.events
populated 1
frozen 0
The cgroup freezing happens in the signal delivery path but
kvm_nx_huge_page_recovery_worker, while joining non-root cgroups, never
calls into the signal delivery path and thus never gets frozen. Because
the cgroup freezer determines whether a given cgroup is frozen by
comparing the number of frozen threads to the total number of threads
in the cgroup, the cgroup never becomes frozen and users waiting for
the state transition may hang indefinitely.
Since the worker kthread is tied to a user process, it's better if
it behaves similarly to user tasks as much as possible, including
being able to send SIGSTOP and SIGCONT. In fact, vhost_task is all
that kvm_vm_create_worker_thread() wanted to be and more: not only it
inherits the userspace process's cgroups, it has other niceties like
being parented properly in the process tree. Use it instead of the
homegrown alternative.
Incidentally, the new code is also better behaved when you flip recovery
back and forth to disabled and back to enabled. If your recovery period
is 1 minute, it will run the next recovery after 1 minute independent
of how many times you flipped the parameter.

current implementation is very disruptive to VMs (if it ever runs),
without providing any meaningful benefit[1].
Alternatively, KVM could repurpose its shrinker, e.g. to reclaim pages
from the per-vCPU caches[2], but given that no one has complained about
lack of TDP MMU support for the shrinker in the 3+ years since the TDP MMU
was enabled by default, it's safe to say that there is likely no real use
case for initiating reclaim of KVM's page tables from the shrinker.
And while clever/cute, reclaiming the per-vCPU caches doesn't scale the
same way that reclaiming in-use page table pages does. E.g. the amount of
memory being used by a VM doesn't always directly correlate with the
number vCPUs, and even when it does, reclaiming a few pages from per-vCPU
caches likely won't make much of a dent in the VM's total memory usage,
especially for VMs with huge amounts of memory.
Lastly, if it turns out that there is a strong use case for dropping the
per-vCPU caches, re-introducing the shrinker registration is trivial
compared to the complexity of actually reclaiming pages from the caches.

WARN and bail out of recover_huge_pages_range() if dirty logging is
enabled. KVM shouldn't be recovering huge pages during dirty logging
anyway, since KVM needs to track writes at 4KiB. However it's not out of
the possibility that that changes in the future.
If KVM wants to recover huge pages during dirty logging, make_huge_spte()
must be updated to write-protect the new huge page mapping. Otherwise,
writes through the newly recovered huge page mapping will not be tracked.
Note that this potential risk did not exist back when KVM zapped to
recover huge page mappings, since subsequent accesses would just be
faulted in at PG_LEVEL_4K if dirty logging was enabled.

that the usage of "small_spte" and "huge_spte" are consistent between
make_huge_spte() and make_small_spte().
This should also reduce some confusion as make_huge_page_split_spte()

Recover TDP MMU huge page mappings in-place instead of zapping them when
dirty logging is disabled, and rename functions that recover huge page
mappings when dirty logging is disabled to move away from the "zap
collapsible spte" terminology.
Before KVM flushes TLBs, guest accesses may be translated through either
the (stale) small SPTE or the (new) huge SPTE. This is already possible
when KVM is doing eager page splitting (where TLB flushes are also
batched), and when vCPUs are faulting in huge mappings (where TLBs are
flushed after the new huge SPTE is installed).
Recovering huge pages reduces the number of page faults when dirty
logging is disabled:
$ perf stat -e kvm:kvm_page_fault -- ./dirty_log_perf_test -s anonymous_hugetlb_2mb -v 64 -e -b 4g
Before: 393,599 kvm:kvm_page_fault
After: 262,575 kvm:kvm_page_fault
vCPU throughput and the latency of disabling dirty-logging are about
equal compared to zapping, but avoiding faults can be beneficial to
remove vCPU jitter in extreme scenarios.

[sean: rebase on a swapped order of checks]
Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Convert the WARN in tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched() that the iterator hasn't
already yielded to a KVM_MMU_WARN_ON() so the code is compiled out for
production kernels (assuming production kernels disable KVM_PROVE_MMU).
Checking for a needed reschedule is a hot path, and KVM sanity checks
iter->yielded in several other less-hot paths, i.e. the odds of KVM not
flagging that something went sideways are quite low. Furthermore, the
odds of KVM not noticing *and* the WARN detecting something worth
investigating are even lower.

Swap the order of the checks in tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched() so that KVM
checks to see if a resched is needed _before_ checking to see if yielding
must be disallowed to guarantee forward progress. Iterating over TDP MMU
SPTEs is a hot path, e.g. tearing down a root can touch millions of SPTEs,
and not needing to reschedule is by far the common case. On the other
hand, disallowing yielding because forward progress has not been made is a
very rare case.
Returning early for the common case (no resched), effectively reduces the
number of checks from 2 to 1 for the common case, and should make the code
slightly more predictable for the CPU.
To resolve a weird conundrum where the forward progress check currently
returns false, but the need resched check subtly returns iter->yielded,
which _should_ be false (enforced by a WARN), return false unconditionally
(which might also help make the sequence more predictable). If KVM has a
bug where iter->yielded is left danging, continuing to yield is neither
right nor wrong, it was simply an artifact of how the original code was
written.
Unconditionally returning false when yielding is unnecessary or unwanted
will also allow extracting the "should resched" logic to a separate helper
in a future patch.

As a result of a recent investigation, it was determined that x86 CPUs
which support 5-level paging, don't always respect CR4.LA57 when doing
canonical checks.
In particular:
1. MSRs which contain a linear address, allow full 57-bitcanonical address
regardless of CR4.LA57 state. For example: MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE.
2. All hidden segment bases and GDT/IDT bases also behave like MSRs.
This means that full 57-bit canonical address can be loaded to them
regardless of CR4.LA57, both using MSRS (e.g GS_BASE) and instructions
(e.g LGDT).
3. TLB invalidation instructions also allow the user to use full 57-bit
address regardless of the CR4.LA57.
Finally, it must be noted that the CPU doesn't prevent the user from
disabling 5-level paging, even when the full 57-bit canonical address is
present in one of the registers mentioned above (e.g GDT base).
In fact, this can happen without any userspace help, when the CPU enters
SMM mode - some MSRs, for example MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE are left to contain
a non-canonical address in regard to the new mode.
Since most of the affected MSRs and all segment bases can be read and
written freely by the guest without any KVM intervention, this patch makes
the emulator closely follow hardware behavior, which means that the
emulator doesn't take in the account the guest CPUID support for 5-level
paging, and only takes in the account the host CPU support.

Set SPTEs directly to SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE and batch up TLB flushes
when zapping collapsible SPTEs, rather than freezing them first.
Freezing the SPTE first is not required. It is fine for another thread
holding mmu_lock for read to immediately install a present entry before
TLBs are flushed because the underlying mapping is not changing. vCPUs
that translate through the stale 4K mappings or a new huge page mapping
will still observe the same GPA->HPA translations.
KVM must only flush TLBs before dropping RCU (to avoid use-after-free of
the zapped page tables) and before dropping mmu_lock (to synchronize
with mmu_notifiers invalidating mappings).
In VMs backed with 2MiB pages, batching TLB flushes improves the time it
takes to zap collapsible SPTEs to disable dirty logging:
$ ./dirty_log_perf_test -s anonymous_hugetlb_2mb -v 64 -e -b 4g
Before: Disabling dirty logging time: 14.334453428s (131072 flushes)
After: Disabling dirty logging time: 4.794969689s (76 flushes)
Skipping freezing SPTEs also avoids stalling vCPU threads on the frozen
SPTE for the time it takes to perform a remote TLB flush. vCPUs faulting
on the zapped mapping can now immediately install a new huge mapping and
proceed with guest execution.

Follow x86's primary MMU, which hasn't flushed TLBs when clearing Accessed
bits for 10+ years, and skip all TLB flushes when aging SPTEs in response
to a clear_flush_young() mmu_notifier event. As documented in x86's
ptep_clear_flush_young(), the probability and impact of "bad" reclaim due
to stale A-bit information is relatively low, whereas the performance cost
of TLB flushes is relatively high. I.e. the cost of flushing TLBs
outweighs the benefits.
On KVM x86, the cost of TLB flushes is even higher, as KVM doesn't batch
TLB flushes for mmu_notifier events (KVM's mmu_notifier contract with MM
makes it all but impossible), and sending IPIs forces all running vCPUs to
go through a VM-Exit => VM-Enter roundtrip.
Furthermore, MGLRU aging of secondary MMUs is expected to use flush-less
mmu_notifiers, i.e. flushing for the !MGLRU will make even less sense, and
will be actively confusing as it wouldn't be clear why KVM "needs" to
flush TLBs for legacy LRU aging, but not for MGLRU aging.

Do a remote TLB flush if installing a leaf SPTE overwrites an existing

When write-protecting for write-tracking, KVM must hold mmu_lock for write,

Don't force a TLB flush if mmu_spte_update() clears the Accessed bit, as
access tracking tolerates false negatives, as evidenced by the

flush.
In practice, this is very nearly a nop. spte_write_protect() and
spte_clear_dirty() never clear the Accessed bit. make_spte() always
sets the Accessed bit for !prefetch scenarios. FNAME(sync_spte) only sets
SPTE if the protection bits are changing, i.e. if a flush will be needed
regardless of the Accessed bits. And FNAME(pte_prefetch) sets SPTE if and
only if the old SPTE is !PRESENT.
That leaves kvm_arch_async_page_ready() as the one path that will generate
a !ACCESSED SPTE *and* overwrite a PRESENT SPTE. And that's very arguably
a bug, as clobbering a valid SPTE in that case is nonsensical.

When creating a SPTE, always set the Dirty bit if the Writable bit is set,
i.e. if KVM is creating a writable mapping. If two (or more) vCPUs are
racing to install a writable SPTE on a !PRESENT fault, only the "winning"
vCPU will create a SPTE with W=1 and D=1, all "losers" will generate a
SPTE with W=1 && D=0.
As a result, tdp_mmu_map_handle_target_level() will fail to detect that
the losing faults are effectively spurious, and will overwrite the D=1
SPTE with a D=0 SPTE. For normal VMs, overwriting a present SPTE is a
small performance blip; KVM blasts a remote TLB flush, but otherwise life
goes on.
For upcoming TDX VMs, overwriting a present SPTE is much more costly, and
can even lead to the VM being terminated if KVM isn't careful, e.g. if KVM
attempts TDH.MEM.PAGE.AUG because the TDX code doesn't detect that the
new SPTE is actually the same as the old SPTE (which would be a bug in its

Don't force a remote TLB flush if KVM happens to effectively "refresh" a

need to be flushed only when creating a read-only SPTE for write-tracking,
i.e. when installing a !MMU-Writable SPTE.
In practice, especially now that KVM doesn't overwrite existing SPTEs when
prefetching, KVM will rarely "refresh" a read-only, MMU-Writable SPTE,
i.e. this is unlikely to eliminate many, if any, TLB flushes. But, more
precisely flushing makes it easier to understand exactly when KVM does and
doesn't need to flush.
Note, x86 architecturally requires relevant TLB entries to be invalidated
on a page fault, i.e. there is no risk of putting a vCPU into an infinite

Move the marking of folios dirty from make_spte() out to its callers,
which have access to the _struct page_, not just the underlying pfn.
Once all architectures follow suit, this will allow removing KVM's ugly
hack where KVM elevates the refcount of VM_MIXEDMAP pfns that happen to
be struct page memory.

put_page() directly. This will allow de-duplicating the prefetch code
between indirect and direct MMUs.
Note, there's a small functional change as kvm_release_page_clean() marks
the page/folio as accessed. While it's not strictly guaranteed that the
guest will access the page, KVM won't intercept guest accesses, i.e. won't
mark the page accessed if it _is_ accessed by the guest (unless A/D bits
are disabled, but running without A/D bits is effectively limited to
pre-HSW Intel CPUs).

side effect of the fact that x86 uses the API while holding mmu_lock.
E.g. even if mmu_lock weren't held, KVM wouldn't want to fault-in pages,
as the goal is to opportunistically grab surrounding pages that have
already been accessed and/or dirtied by the host, and to do so quickly.

prefetching indirect PTEs (direct_pte_prefetch_many() already uses the

pfn" API short-circuits hva_to_pfn() if hva_to_pfn_fast() fails, i.e. is
just a wrapper for get_user_page_fast_only()/get_user_pages_fast_only().
Switching to the "to page" API will allow dropping the @atomic parameter

Now that KVM doesn't clobber Accessed bits of shadow-present SPTEs,
e.g. when prefetching, mark folios as accessed only when zapping leaf
SPTEs, which is a rough heuristic for "only in response to an mmu_notifier
invalidation". Page aging and LRUs are tolerant of false negatives, i.e.
KVM doesn't need to be precise for correctness, and re-marking folios as
accessed when zapping entire roots or when zapping collapsible SPTEs is
expensive and adds very little value.
E.g. when a VM is dying, all of its memory is being freed; marking folios
accessed at that time provides no known value. Similarly, because KVM
marks folios as accessed when creating SPTEs, marking all folios as
accessed when userspace happens to delete a memslot doesn't add value.
The folio was marked access when the old SPTE was created, and will be
marked accessed yet again if a vCPU accesses the pfn again after reloading
a new root. Zapping collapsible SPTEs is a similar story; marking folios
accessed just because userspace disable dirty logging is a side effect of
KVM behavior, not a deliberate goal.
As an intermediate step, a.k.a. bisection point, towards *never* marking
folios accessed when dropping SPTEs, mark folios accessed when the primary
MMU might be invalidating mappings, as such zappings are not KVM initiated,
i.e. might actually be related to page aging and LRU activity.
Note, x86 is the only KVM architecture that "double dips"; every other
arch marks pfns as accessed only when mapping into the guest, not when
mapping into the guest _and_ when removing from the guest.

Mark pages/folios dirty when creating SPTEs to map PFNs into the guest,
not when zapping or modifying SPTEs, as marking folios dirty when zapping
or modifying SPTEs can be extremely inefficient. E.g. when KVM is zapping
collapsible SPTEs to reconstitute a hugepage after disbling dirty logging,
KVM will mark every 4KiB pfn as dirty, even though _at least_ 512 pfns are
guaranteed to be in a single folio (the SPTE couldn't potentially be huge
if that weren't the case). The problem only becomes worse for 1GiB
HugeTLB pages, as KVM can mark a single folio dirty 512*512 times.
Marking a folio dirty when mapping is functionally safe as KVM drops all
relevant SPTEs in response to an mmu_notifier invalidation, i.e. ensures
that the guest can't dirty a folio after access has been removed.
And because KVM already marks folios dirty when zapping/modifying SPTEs
for KVM reasons, i.e. not in response to an mmu_notifier invalidation,
there is no danger of "prematurely" marking a folio dirty. E.g. if a
filesystems cleans a folio without first removing write access, then there
already exists races where KVM could mark a folio dirty before remote TLBs
are flushed, i.e. before guest writes are guaranteed to stop. Furthermore,
x86 is literally the only architecture that marks folios dirty on the
backend; every other KVM architecture marks folios dirty at map time.
x86's unique behavior likely stems from the fact that x86's MMU predates
mmu_notifiers. Long, long ago, before mmu_notifiers were added, marking
pages dirty when zapping SPTEs was logical, and perhaps even necessary, as
KVM held references to pages, i.e. kept a page's refcount elevated while
the page was mapped into the guest. At the time, KVM's rmap_remove()
simply did:
if (is_writeble_pte(*spte))
kvm_release_pfn_dirty(pfn);
else
kvm_release_pfn_clean(pfn);
i.e. dropped the refcount and marked the page dirty at the same time.
After mmu_notifiers were introduced, commit acb66dd051 ("KVM: MMU:
don't hold pagecount reference for mapped sptes pages") removed the
refcount logic, but kept the dirty logic, i.e. converted the above to:
if (is_writeble_pte(*spte))
kvm_release_pfn_dirty(pfn);
And for KVM x86, that's essentially how things have stayed over the last
~15 years, without anyone revisiting *why* KVM marks pages/folios dirty at
zap/modification time, e.g. the behavior was blindly carried forward to
the TDP MMU.
Practically speaking, the only downside to marking a folio dirty during
mapping is that KVM could trigger writeback of memory that was never
actually written. Except that can't actually happen if KVM marks folios
dirty if and only if a writable SPTE is created (as done here), because
KVM always marks writable SPTEs as dirty during make_spte(). See commit
9b51a63024 ("KVM: MMU: Explicitly set D-bit for writable spte."), circa
2015.
Note, KVM's access tracking logic for prefetched SPTEs is a bit odd. If a
guest PTE is dirty and writable, KVM will create a writable SPTE, but then
mark the SPTE for access tracking. Which isn't wrong, just a bit odd, as
it results in _more_ precise dirty tracking for MMUs _without_ A/D bits.
To keep things simple, mark the folio dirty before access tracking comes
into play, as an access-tracked SPTE can be restored in the fast page
fault path, i.e. without holding mmu_lock. While writing SPTEs and
accessing memslots outside of mmu_lock is safe, marking a folio dirty is
not. E.g. if the fast path gets interrupted _just_ after setting a SPTE,
the primary MMU could theoretically invalidate and free a folio before KVM
marks it dirty. Unlike the shadow MMU, which waits for CPUs to respond to
an IPI, the TDP MMU only guarantees the page tables themselves won't be
freed (via RCU).

Set the Accessed bit when making a "new" SPTE during SPTE synchronization,
as _clearing_ the Accessed bit is counter-productive, and even if the
Accessed bit wasn't set in the old SPTE, odds are very good the guest will
access the page in the near future, as the most common case where KVM
synchronizes a shadow-present SPTE is when the guest is making the gPTE
read-only for Copy-on-Write (CoW).
Preserving the Accessed bit will allow dropping the logic that propagates
the Accessed bit to the underlying struct page when overwriting an existing
SPTE, without undue risk of regressing page aging.
Note, KVM's current behavior is very deliberate, as SPTE synchronization
was the only "speculative" access type as of commit 947da53830 ("KVM:
MMU: Set the accessed bit on non-speculative shadow ptes").
But, much has changed since 2008, and more changes are on the horizon.
Spurious clearing of the Accessed (and Dirty) was mitigated by commit
e6722d9211 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Reduce the update to the spte in
FNAME(sync_spte)"), which changed FNAME(sync_spte) to only overwrite SPTEs
if the protections are actually changing. I.e. KVM is already preserving
Accessed information for SPTEs that aren't dropping protections.
And with the aforementioned future change to NOT mark the page/folio as
accessed, KVM's SPTEs will become the "source of truth" so to speak, in
which case clearing the Accessed bit outside of page aging becomes very
undesirable.

Treat attempts to prefetch/prefault MMU SPTEs as spurious if there's an
existing shadow-present SPTE, as overwriting a SPTE that may have been
create by a "real" fault is at best confusing, and at worst potentially
harmful. E.g. mmu_try_to_unsync_pages() doesn't unsync when prefetching,
which creates a scenario where KVM could try to replace a Writable SPTE
with a !Writable SPTE, as sp->unsync is checked prior to acquiring
mmu_unsync_pages_lock.
Note, this applies to three of the four flavors of "prefetch" in KVM:
- KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY
- Async #PF (host or PV)
- Prefetching
The fourth flavor, SPTE synchronization, i.e. FNAME(sync_spte), _only_
overwrites shadow-present SPTEs when calling make_spte(). But SPTE
synchronization specifically uses mmu_spte_update(), and so naturally
avoids the @prefetch check in mmu_set_spte().

Apply make_spte()'s optimization to skip trying to unsync shadow pages if
and only if the old SPTE was a leaf SPTE, as non-leaf SPTEs in direct MMUs
are always writable, i.e. could trigger a false positive and incorrectly
lead to KVM creating a SPTE without write-protecting or marking shadow
pages unsync.
This bug only affects the TDP MMU, as the shadow MMU only overwrites a
shadow-present SPTE when synchronizing SPTEs (and only 4KiB SPTEs can be
unsync). Specifically, mmu_set_spte() drops any non-leaf SPTEs *before*
calling make_spte(), whereas the TDP MMU can do a direct replacement of a
page table with the leaf SPTE.
Opportunistically update the comment to explain why skipping the unsync
stuff is safe, as opposed to simply saying "it's someone else's problem".

Add a lockdep assertion in kvm_unmap_gfn_range() to ensure that either
mmu_invalidate_in_progress is elevated, or that the range is being zapped
due to memslot removal (loosely detected by slots_lock being held).
Zapping SPTEs without mmu_invalidate_{in_progress,seq} protection is unsafe
as KVM's page fault path snapshots state before acquiring mmu_lock, and
thus can create SPTEs with stale information if vCPUs aren't forced to
retry faults (due to seeing an in-progress or past MMU invalidation).
Memslot removal is a special case, as the memslot is retrieved outside of
mmu_invalidate_seq, i.e. doesn't use the "standard" protections, and
instead relies on SRCU synchronization to ensure any in-flight page faults
are fully resolved before zapping SPTEs.

When performing a targeted zap on memslot removal, zap only MMU pages that
shadow guest PTEs, as zapping all SPs that "match" the gfn is inexact and
unnecessary. Furthermore, for_each_gfn_valid_sp() arguably shouldn't
exist, because it doesn't do what most people would it expect it to do.
The "round gfn for level" adjustment that is done for direct SPs (no gPTE)
means that the exact gfn comparison will not get a match, even when a SP
does "cover" a gfn, or was even created specifically for a gfn.
For memslot deletion specifically, KVM's behavior will vary significantly
based on the size and alignment of a memslot, and in weird ways. E.g. for
a 4KiB memslot, KVM will zap more SPs if the slot is 1GiB aligned than if
it's only 4KiB aligned. And as described below, zapping SPs in the
aligned case overzaps for direct MMUs, as odds are good the upper-level
SPs are serving other memslots.
To iterate over all potentially-relevant gfns, KVM would need to make a
pass over the hash table for each level, with the gfn used for lookup
rounded for said level. And then check that the SP is of the correct
level, too, e.g. to avoid over-zapping.
But even then, KVM would massively overzap, as processing every level is
all but guaranteed to zap SPs that serve other memslots, especially if the
memslot being removed is relatively small. KVM could mitigate that issue
by processing only levels that can be possible guest huge pages, i.e. are
less likely to be re-used for other memslot, but while somewhat logical,
that's quite arbitrary and would be a bit of a mess to implement.
So, zap only SPs with gPTEs, as the resulting behavior is easy to describe,
is predictable, and is explicitly minimal, i.e. KVM only zaps SPs that
absolutely must be zapped.

As was tried in commit 4e103134b8 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant
pages when removing a memslot"), all shadow pages, i.e. non-leaf SPTEs,
need to be zapped. All of the accounting for a shadow page is tied to the
memslot, i.e. the shadow page holds a reference to the memslot, for all
intents and purposes. Deleting the memslot without removing all relevant
shadow pages, as is done when KVM_X86_QUIRK_SLOT_ZAP_ALL is disabled,
results in NULL pointer derefs when tearing down the VM.
Reintroduce from that commit the code that walks the whole memslot when
there are active shadow MMU pages.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
* KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just
those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or deleted.
The former does not have particularly noticeable overhead, but Intel's
TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages if they are
dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter. Actually,
the only reason why this is not already being done is a bug which
was never fully investigated and caused VM instability with assigned
GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new behavior.
* Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the "real" AVX10
functionality that is on the horizon).
* Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace accesses to
unsupported-but-advertised MSRs. This will allow removing (almost?) all of
KVM's exemptions for userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on
the vCPU model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work).

Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"x86:
- KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just
those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or
deleted.
This does not traditionally have particularly noticeable overhead,
but Intel's TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages
if they are dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter.
Actually, the only reason why this is not already being done is a
bug which was never fully investigated and caused VM instability
with assigned GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new
behavior.
- Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the
"real" AVX10 functionality that is on the horizon)
- Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace
accesses to unsupported-but-advertised MSRs
This will allow removing (almost?) all of KVM's exemptions for
userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on the vCPU
model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work)
- Rework KVM's handling of x2APIC ICR, again, because AMD (x2AVIC)
splits the 64-bit value into the legacy ICR and ICR2 storage,

- Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exit to expedite re-entering the guest when

- Finally fix the RSM vs. nested VM-Enter WARN by forcing the vCPU out of
guest mode prior to signalling SHUTDOWN (architecturally, the SHUTDOWN is
supposed to hit L1, not L2).
Today whenever a memslot is moved or deleted, KVM invalidates the entire
page tables and generates fresh ones based on the new memslot layout.
This behavior traditionally was kept because of a bug which was never
fully investigated and caused VM instability with assigned GeForce
GPUs. It generally does not have a huge overhead, because the old
MMU is able to reuse cached page tables and the new one is more
scalabale and can resolve EPT violations/nested page faults in parallel,
but it has worse performance if the guest frequently deletes and
adds small memslots, and it's entirely not viable for TDX. This is
because TDX requires re-accepting of private pages after page dropping.
For non-TDX VMs, this series therefore introduces the
KVM_X86_QUIRK_SLOT_ZAP_ALL quirk, enabling users to control the behavior
of memslot zapping when a memslot is moved/deleted. The quirk is turned
on by default, leading to the zapping of all SPTEs when a memslot is
moved/deleted; users however have the option to turn off the quirk,
which limits the zapping only to those SPTEs hat lie within the range
of memslot being moved/deleted.

This reverts commit 377b2f359d.
This caused a regression with the bochsdrm driver, which used ioremap()
instead of ioremap_wc() to map the video RAM. After the commit, the
WB memory type is used without the IGNORE_PAT, resulting in the slower
UC memory type. In fact, UC is slow enough to basically cause guests
to not boot... but only on new processors such as Sapphire Rapids and
Cascade Lake. Coffee Lake for example works properly, though that might
also be an effect of being on a larger, more NUMA system.
The driver has been fixed but that does not help older guests. Until we
figure out whether Cascade Lake and newer processors are working as
intended, revert the commit. Long term we might add a quirk, but the
details depend on whether the processors are working as intended: for
example if they are, the quirk might reference bochs-compatible devices,
e.g. in the name and documentation, so that userspace can disable the
quirk by default and only leave it enabled if such a device is being
exposed to the guest.
If instead this is actually a bug in CLX+, then the actions we need to
take are different and depend on the actual cause of the bug.

Replace all of the open coded '1' literals used to mark a PTE list as
having many/multiple entries with a proper define. It's hard enough to
read the code with one magic bit, and a future patch to support "locking"
a single rmap will add another.

Fold mmu_spte_age() into its sole caller now that aging and testing for
young SPTEs is handled in a common location, i.e. doesn't require more
helpers.
Opportunistically remove the use of mmu_spte_get_lockless(), as mmu_lock
is held (for write!), and marking SPTEs for access tracking outside of
mmu_lock is unsafe (at least, as written). I.e. using the lockless
accessor is quite misleading.

Rework kvm_handle_gfn_range() into an aging-specic helper,
kvm_rmap_age_gfn_range(). In addition to purging a bunch of unnecessary
boilerplate code, this sets the stage for aging rmap SPTEs outside of
mmu_lock.
Note, there's a small functional change, as kvm_test_age_gfn() will now
return immediately if a young SPTE is found, whereas previously KVM would
continue iterating over other levels.

Convert kvm_unmap_gfn_range(), which is the helper that zaps rmap SPTEs in
response to an mmu_notifier invalidation, to use __kvm_rmap_zap_gfn_range()
and feed in range->may_block. In other words, honor NEED_RESCHED by way of
cond_resched() when zapping rmaps. This fixes a long-standing issue where
KVM could process an absurd number of rmap entries without ever yielding,
e.g. if an mmu_notifier fired on a PUD (or larger) range.
Opportunistically rename __kvm_zap_rmap() to kvm_zap_rmap(), and drop the
old kvm_zap_rmap(). Ideally, the shuffling would be done in a different
patch, but that just makes the compiler unhappy, e.g.

Add a @can_yield param to __walk_slot_rmaps() to control whether or not
dropping mmu_lock and conditionally rescheduling is allowed. This will
allow using __walk_slot_rmaps() and thus cond_resched() to handle
mmu_notifier invalidations, which usually allow blocking/yielding, but not
when invoked by the OOM killer.

WARN if KVM gets an MMIO cache hit on a RET_PF_WRITE_PROTECTED fault, as
KVM should return RET_PF_WRITE_PROTECTED if and only if there is a memslot,
and creating a memslot is supposed to invalidate the MMIO cache by virtue
of changing the memslot generation.

why emulated MMIO should be impossible.
