KVM/arm64 updates for 6.19
- Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts (SEAs),
allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a non-fatal
manner.
- Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers in
hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
one that acked the IRQ.
- Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
table walkers and shadow MMU.
- Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long need_resched
latencies observed when destroying a large VM.
- Minor fixes to KVM and selftests

KVM/riscv changes for 6.19
- SBI MPXY support for KVM guest
- New KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY_NO_VSFILE for the case when in-kernel
AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file
- Support enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
- Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions
- Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores

KVM generic changes for 6.19:
- Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU workqueue for
irqfd cleanup.
- Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation.

There is already support of enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
for x86 in commit 3c9bd4006bfc ("KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in
small chunks") and c862626 ("KVM: arm64: Support enabling dirty log
gradually in small chunks"). This adds support for riscv.
x86 and arm64 writes protect both huge pages and normal pages now, so
riscv protect also protects both huge pages and normal pages.
On a nested virtualization setup (RISC-V KVM running inside a QEMU VM
on an [Intel® Core™ i5-12500H] host), I did some tests with a 2G Linux
VM using different backing page sizes. The time taken for
memory_global_dirty_log_start in the L2 QEMU is listed below:
Page Size Before After Optimization

Setting KVM_CAP_S390_USER_OPEREXEC will forward all operation
exceptions to user space. This also includes the 0x0000 instructions
managed by KVM_CAP_S390_USER_INSTR0. It's helpful if user space wants
to emulate instructions which do not (yet) have an opcode.

KVM x86 fixes for 6.18:
- Expand the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY selftest to add a regression test for the
bug fixed by commit 3ccbf6f47098 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Return -EAGAIN if userspace
deletes/moves memslot during prefault")
- Don't try to get PMU capabbilities from perf when running a CPU with hybrid
CPUs/PMUs, as perf will rightly WARN.
- Rework KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP (newly introduced in 6.18) into a more
generic KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_FLAGS
- Add a guest_memfd INIT_SHARED flag and require userspace to explicitly set
said flag to initialize memory as SHARED, irrespective of MMAP. The
behavior merged in 6.18 is that enabling mmap() implicitly initializes
memory as SHARED, which would result in an ABI collision for x86 CoCo VMs
as their memory is currently always initialized PRIVATE.
- Allow mmap() on guest_memfd for x86 CoCo VMs, i.e. on VMs with private
memory, to enable testing such setups, i.e. to hopefully flush out any
other lurking ABI issues before 6.18 is officially released.
- Add testcases to the guest_memfd selftest to cover guest_memfd without MMAP,
and host userspace accesses to mmap()'d private memory.

Add a guest_memfd flag to allow userspace to state that the underlying
memory should be configured to be initialized as shared, and reject user
page faults if the guest_memfd instance's memory isn't shared. Because
KVM doesn't yet support in-place private<=>shared conversions, all
guest_memfd memory effectively follows the initial state.
Alternatively, KVM could deduce the initial state based on MMAP, which for
all intents and purposes is what KVM currently does. However, implicitly
deriving the default state based on MMAP will result in a messy ABI when
support for in-place conversions is added.
For x86 CoCo VMs, which don't yet support MMAP, memory is currently private
by default (otherwise the memory would be unusable). If MMAP implies
memory is shared by default, then the default state for CoCo VMs will vary
based on MMAP, and from userspace's perspective, will change when in-place
conversion support is added. I.e. to maintain guest<=>host ABI, userspace
would need to immediately convert all memory from shared=>private, which
is both ugly and inefficient. The inefficiency could be avoided by adding
a flag to state that memory is _private_ by default, irrespective of MMAP,
but that would lead to an equally messy and hard to document ABI.
Bite the bullet and immediately add a flag to control the default state so
that the effective behavior is explicit and straightforward.

Rework the not-yet-released KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP into a more generic
KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_FLAGS capability so that adding new flags doesn't
require a new capability, and so that developers aren't tempted to bundle
multiple flags into a single capability.
Note, kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension_generic() can only return a 32-bit
value, but that limitation can be easily circumvented by adding e.g.
KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_FLAGS2 in the unlikely event guest_memfd supports more
than 32 flags.

KVM x86 CET virtualization support for 6.18
Add support for virtualizing Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) on
Intel (Shadow Stacks and Indirect Branch Tracking) and AMD (Shadow Stacks).
CET is comprised of two distinct features, Shadow Stacks (SHSTK) and Indirect
Branch Tracking (IBT), that can be utilized by software to help provide
Control-flow integrity (CFI). SHSTK defends against backward-edge attacks
(a.k.a. Return-oriented programming (ROP)), while IBT defends against
forward-edge attacks (a.k.a. similarly CALL/JMP-oriented programming (COP/JOP)).
Attackers commonly use ROP and COP/JOP methodologies to redirect the control-
flow to unauthorized targets in order to execute small snippets of code,
a.k.a. gadgets, of the attackers choice. By chaining together several gadgets,
an attacker can perform arbitrary operations and circumvent the system's
defenses.
SHSTK defends against backward-edge attacks, which execute gadgets by modifying
the stack to branch to the attacker's target via RET, by providing a second
stack that is used exclusively to track control transfer operations. The
shadow stack is separate from the data/normal stack, and can be enabled
independently in user and kernel mode.
When SHSTK is is enabled, CALL instructions push the return address on both the
data and shadow stack. RET then pops the return address from both stacks and
compares the addresses. If the return addresses from the two stacks do not
match, the CPU generates a Control Protection (#CP) exception.
IBT defends against backward-edge attacks, which branch to gadgets by executing
indirect CALL and JMP instructions with attacker controlled register or memory
state, by requiring the target of indirect branches to start with a special
marker instruction, ENDBRANCH. If an indirect branch is executed and the next
instruction is not an ENDBRANCH, the CPU generates a #CP. Note, ENDBRANCH
behaves as a NOP if IBT is disabled or unsupported.
From a virtualization perspective, CET presents several problems. While SHSTK
and IBT have two layers of enabling, a global control in the form of a CR4 bit,
and a per-feature control in user and kernel (supervisor) MSRs (U_CET and S_CET
respectively), the {S,U}_CET MSRs can be context switched via XSAVES/XRSTORS.
Practically speaking, intercepting and emulating XSAVES/XRSTORS is not a viable
option due to complexity, and outright disallowing use of XSTATE to context
switch SHSTK/IBT state would render the features unusable to most guests.
To limit the overall complexity without sacrificing performance or usability,
simply ignore the potential virtualization hole, but ensure that all paths in
KVM treat SHSTK/IBT as usable by the guest if the feature is supported in
hardware, and the guest has access to at least one of SHSTK or IBT. I.e. allow
userspace to advertise one of SHSTK or IBT if both are supported in hardware,
even though doing so would allow a misbehaving guest to use the unadvertised
feature.
Fully emulating SHSTK and IBT would also require significant complexity, e.g.
to track and update branch state for IBT, and shadow stack state for SHSTK.
Given that emulating large swaths of the guest code stream isn't necessary on
modern CPUs, punt on emulating instructions that meaningful impact or consume
SHSTK or IBT. However, instead of doing nothing, explicitly reject emulation
of such instructions so that KVM's emulator can't be abused to circumvent CET.
Disable support for SHSTK and IBT if KVM is configured such that emulation of
arbitrary guest instructions may be required, specifically if Unrestricted
Guest (Intel only) is disabled, or if KVM will emulate a guest.MAXPHYADDR that
is smaller than host.MAXPHYADDR.
Lastly disable SHSTK support if shadow paging is enabled, as the protections
for the shadow stack are novel (shadow stacks require Writable=0,Dirty=1, so
that they can't be directly modified by software), i.e. would require
non-trivial support in the Shadow MMU.
Note, AMD CPUs currently only support SHSTK. Explicitly disable IBT support
so that KVM doesn't over-advertise if AMD CPUs add IBT, and virtualizing IBT
in SVM requires KVM modifications.

KVM x86 changes for 6.18
- Don't (re)check L1 intercepts when completing userspace I/O to fix a flaw
where a misbehaving usersepace (a.k.a. syzkaller) could swizzle L1's
intercepts and trigger a variety of WARNs in KVM.
- Emulate PERF_CNTR_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET for PerfMonV2 guests, as the MSR is
supposed to exist for v2 PMUs.
- Allow Centaur CPU leaves (base 0xC000_0000) for Zhaoxin CPUs.
- Clean up KVM's vector hashing code for delivering lowest priority IRQs.
- Clean up the fastpath handler code to only handle IPIs and WRMSRs that are
actually "fast", as opposed to handling those that KVM _hopes_ are fast, and
in the process of doing so add fastpath support for TSC_DEADLINE writes on
AMD CPUs.
- Clean up a pile of PMU code in anticipation of adding support for mediated
vPMUs.
- Add support for the immediate forms of RDMSR and WRMSRNS, sans full
emulator support (KVM should never need to emulate the MSRs outside of
forced emulation and other contrived testing scenarios).
- Clean up the MSR APIs in preparation for CET and FRED virtualization, as
well as mediated vPMU support.
- Rejecting a fully in-kernel IRQCHIP if EOIs are protected, i.e. for TDX VMs,
as KVM can't faithfully emulate an I/O APIC for such guests.
- KVM_REQ_MSR_FILTER_CHANGED into a generic RECALC_INTERCEPTS in preparation
for mediated vPMU support, as KVM will need to recalculate MSR intercepts in
response to PMU refreshes for guests with mediated vPMUs.
- Misc cleanups and minor fixes.

Add a KVM-defined ONE_REG register, KVM_REG_GUEST_SSP, to let userspace
save and restore the guest's Shadow Stack Pointer (SSP). On both Intel
and AMD, SSP is a hardware register that can only be accessed by software
via dedicated ISA (e.g. RDSSP) or via VMCS/VMCB fields (used by hardware
to context switch SSP at entry/exit). As a result, SSP doesn't fit in
any of KVM's existing interfaces for saving/restoring state.
Internally, treat SSP as a fake/synthetic MSR, as the semantics of writes
to SSP follow that of several other Shadow Stack MSRs, e.g. the PLx_SSP
MSRs. Use a translation layer to hide the KVM-internal MSR index so that
the arbitrary index doesn't become ABI, e.g. so that KVM can rework its
implementation as needed, so long as the ONE_REG ABI is maintained.
Explicitly reject accesses to SSP if the vCPU doesn't have Shadow Stack
support to avoid running afoul of ignore_msrs, which unfortunately applies
to host-initiated accesses (which is a discussion for another day). I.e.
ensure consistent behavior for KVM-defined registers irrespective of
ignore_msrs.

Enable KVM_{G,S}ET_ONE_REG uAPIs so that userspace can access MSRs and
other non-MSR registers through them, along with support for
KVM_GET_REG_LIST to enumerate support for KVM-defined registers.
This is in preparation for allowing userspace to read/write the guest SSP
register, which is needed for the upcoming CET virtualization support.
Currently, two types of registers are supported: KVM_X86_REG_TYPE_MSR and
KVM_X86_REG_TYPE_KVM. All MSRs are in the former type; the latter type is
added for registers that lack existing KVM uAPIs to access them. The "KVM"
in the name is intended to be vague to give KVM flexibility to include
other potential registers. More precise names like "SYNTHETIC" and
"SYNTHETIC_MSR" were considered, but were deemed too confusing (e.g. can
be conflated with synthetic guest-visible MSRs) and may put KVM into a
corner (e.g. if KVM wants to change how a KVM-defined register is modeled
internally).
Enumerate only KVM-defined registers in KVM_GET_REG_LIST to avoid
duplicating KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, and so that KVM can return _only_
registers that are fully supported (KVM_GET_REG_LIST is vCPU-scoped, i.e.
can be precise, whereas KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST is system-scoped).

Explicitly document that the behavior of KVM_SET_PIT2 strictly conforms
to the Intel 8254 PIT hardware specification, specifically that a write of
'0' adheres to the spec's definition that a programmed count of '0' is
converted to the maximum possible value (2^16). E.g. an unaware userspace
might attempt to validate that KVM_GET_PIT2 returns the exact state set
via KVM_SET_PIT2, and be surprised when the returned count is 65536, not 0.
Add a references to the Intel 8254 PIT datasheet that will hopefully stay
fresh for some time (the internet isn't exactly brimming with copies of
the 8254 datasheet).

Now that all the x86 and arm64 plumbing for mmap() on guest_memfd is in
place, allow userspace to set GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP and advertise support
via a new capability, KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP.
The availability of this capability is determined per architecture, and
its enablement for a specific guest_memfd instance is controlled by the
GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP flag at creation time.
Update the KVM API documentation to detail the KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP
capability, the associated GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP, and provide essential
information regarding support for mmap in guest_memfd.

hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take traps of
masked external aborts to the hypervisor.
- Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.17
- Prevert the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM (Intel only) when running the
guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can bleed host state into the guest.
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter (Intel only) to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF.
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the
vCPU's CPUID model.
- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are more or
less identical.
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from the "source" on MSR filter changes, and
drop the dedicated "shadow" bitmaps (and their awful "max" size defines).
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the
nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR.
- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction that's
loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated independently.
- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by stuffing INIT_RECEIVED,
a.k.a. WFS, and then putting the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Use
the same approach KVM uses for dealing with "impossible" emulation when
running a !URG guest, and simply wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU
has architecturally impossible state.
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of
APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can "virtualize"
APERF/MPERF (with many caveats).
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ if vCPUs have been created, as changing the "default"
frequency is unsupported for VMs with a "secure" TSC, and there's no known
use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types.

Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking on riscv:
- Enable CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_ACQ_REL as riscv is weakly

- Set KVM_DIRTY_LOG_PAGE_OFFSET for the ring buffer's physical page
offset.
- Add a check to kvm_vcpu_kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests for checking
whether the dirty ring is soft full.
To handle vCPU requests that cause exits to userspace, modified the
`kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests` to return a value (currently only
returns 0 or 1).

Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ vCPU ioctl if guest's TSC is protected and not
changeable by KVM, and update the documentation to reflect it.
For such TSC protected guests, e.g. TDX guests, typically the TSC is
configured once at VM level before any vCPU are created and remains
unchanged during VM's lifetime. KVM provides the KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ VM
scope ioctl to allow the userspace VMM to configure the TSC of such VM.
After that the userspace VMM is not supposed to call the KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ
vCPU scope ioctl anymore when creating the vCPU.
The de facto userspace VMM Qemu does this for TDX guests. The upcoming
SEV-SNP guests with Secure TSC should follow.
Note, TDX support hasn't been fully released as of the "buggy" commit,
i.e. there is no established ABI to break.

Reject the KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ VM ioctl when vCPUs have been created and
update the documentation to reflect it.
The VM scope KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ ioctl is used to set up the default TSC
frequency that all subsequently created vCPUs can use. It is only
intended to be called before any vCPU is created. Allowing it to be
called after that only results in confusion but nothing good.
Note this is an ABI change. But currently in Qemu (the de facto
userspace VMM) only TDX uses this VM ioctl, and it is only called once
before creating any vCPU, therefore the risk of breaking userspace is
pretty low.

Allow a guest to read the physical IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSRs
without interception.
The IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSRs are not virtualized. Writes are not
handled at all. The MSR values are not zeroed on vCPU creation, saved
on suspend, or restored on resume. No accommodation is made for
processor migration or for sharing a logical processor with other
tasks. No adjustments are made for non-unit TSC multipliers. The MSRs
do not account for time the same way as the comparable PMU events,
whether the PMU is virtualized by the traditional emulation method or
the new mediated pass-through approach.
Nonetheless, in a properly constrained environment, this capability
can be combined with a guest CPUID table that advertises support for
CPUID.6:ECX.APERFMPERF[bit 0] to induce a Linux guest to report the
effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo. Moreover, there is
no performance cost for this capability.

Introduce a new KVM capability to expose to the userspace whether
cacheable mapping of PFNMAP is supported.
The ability to safely do the cacheable mapping of PFNMAP is contingent
on S2FWB and ARM64_HAS_CACHE_DIC. S2FWB allows KVM to avoid flushing
the D cache, ARM64_HAS_CACHE_DIC allows KVM to avoid flushing the icache
and turns icache_inval_pou() into a NOP. The cap would be false if
those requirements are missing and is checked by making use of
kvm_arch_supports_cacheable_pfnmap.
This capability would allow userspace to discover the support.
It could for instance be used by userspace to prevent live-migration
across FWB and non-FWB hosts.

Exit to userspace for TDG.VP.VMCALL<GetTdVmCallInfo> via KVM_EXIT_TDX,
to allow userspace to provide information about the support of
TDVMCALLs when r12 is 1 for the TDVMCALLs beyond the GHCI base API.
GHCI spec defines the GHCI base TDVMCALLs: <GetTdVmCallInfo>, <MapGPA>,
<ReportFatalError>, <Instruction.CPUID>, <#VE.RequestMMIO>,
<Instruction.HLT>, <Instruction.IO>, <Instruction.RDMSR> and
<Instruction.WRMSR>. They must be supported by VMM to support TDX guests.
For GetTdVmCallInfo
- When leaf (r12) to enumerate TDVMCALL functionality is set to 0,
successful execution indicates all GHCI base TDVMCALLs listed above are
supported.
Update the KVM TDX document with the set of the GHCI base APIs.
- When leaf (r12) to enumerate TDVMCALL functionality is set to 1, it
indicates the TDX guest is querying the supported TDVMCALLs beyond
the GHCI base TDVMCALLs.
Exit to userspace to let userspace set the TDVMCALL sub-function bit(s)
accordingly to the leaf outputs. KVM could set the TDVMCALL bit(s)
supported by itself when the TDVMCALLs don't need support from userspace
after returning from userspace and before entering guest. Currently, no
such TDVMCALLs implemented, KVM just sets the values returned from
userspace.

Handle TDVMCALL for GetQuote to generate a TD-Quote.
GetQuote is a doorbell-like interface used by TDX guests to request VMM
to generate a TD-Quote signed by a service hosting TD-Quoting Enclave
operating on the host. A TDX guest passes a TD Report (TDREPORT_STRUCT) in
a shared-memory area as parameter. Host VMM can access it and queue the
operation for a service hosting TD-Quoting enclave. When completed, the
Quote is returned via the same shared-memory area.
KVM only checks the GPA from the TDX guest has the shared-bit set and drops
the shared-bit before exiting to userspace to avoid bleeding the shared-bit
into KVM's exit ABI. KVM forwards the request to userspace VMM (e.g. QEMU)
and userspace VMM queues the operation asynchronously. KVM sets the return
code according to the 'ret' field set by userspace to notify the TDX guest
whether the request has been queued successfully or not. When the request
has been queued successfully, the TDX guest can poll the status field in
the shared-memory area to check whether the Quote generation is completed
or not. When completed, the generated Quote is returned via the same
buffer.
Add KVM_EXIT_TDX as a new exit reason to userspace. Userspace is
required to handle the KVM exit reason as the initial support for TDX,
by reentering KVM to ensure that the TDVMCALL is complete. While at it,
add a note that KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL also requires reentry with KVM_RUN.

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.
- and the usual random cleanups.

Add a toggleable VM capability to reset the VCPU from userspace by
setting MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED through IOCTL.
Reset through a mp_state to avoid adding a new IOCTL.
Do not reset on a transition from STOPPED to RUNNABLE, because it's
better to avoid side effects that would complicate userspace adoption.
The MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED is not a permanent mp_state -- IOCTL resets
the VCPU while preserving the original mp_state -- because we wouldn't
gain much from having a new state it in the rest of KVM, but it's a very
non-standard use of the IOCTL.

Add support for KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT on SVM CPUs with Bus Lock
Threshold, which is close enough to VMX's Bus Lock Detection VM-Exit to
allow reusing KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT.
The biggest difference between the two features is that Threshold is
fault-like, whereas Detection is trap-like. To allow the guest to make
forward progress, Threshold provides a per-VMCB counter which is
decremented every time a bus lock occurs, and a VM-Exit is triggered if
and only if the counter is '0'.
To provide Detection-like semantics, initialize the counter to '0', i.e.
exit on every bus lock, and when re-executing the guilty instruction, set
the counter to '1' to effectively step past the instruction.
Note, in the unlikely scenario that re-executing the instruction doesn't
trigger a bus lock, e.g. because the guest has changed memory types or
patched the guilty instruction, the bus lock counter will be left at '1',
i.e. the guest will be able to do a bus lock on a different instruction.
In a perfect world, KVM would ensure the counter is '0' if the guest has
made forward progress, e.g. if RIP has changed. But trying to close that
hole would incur non-trivial complexity, for marginal benefit; the intent
of KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT is to allow userspace rate-limit bus locks,
not to allow for precise detection of problematic guest code. And, it's
simply not feasible to fully close the hole, e.g. if an interrupt arrives
before the original instruction can re-execute, the guest could step past
a different bus lock.

This large commit contains the initial support for TDX in KVM. All x86
parts enable the host-side hypercalls that KVM uses to talk to the TDX
module, a software component that runs in a special CPU mode called SEAM
(Secure Arbitration Mode).
The series is in turn split into multiple sub-series, each with a separate
merge commit:
- Initialization: basic setup for using the TDX module from KVM, plus
ioctls to create TDX VMs and vCPUs.
- MMU: in TDX, private and shared halves of the address space are mapped by
different EPT roots, and the private half is managed by the TDX module.
Using the support that was added to the generic MMU code in 6.14,
add support for TDX's secure page tables to the Intel side of KVM.
Generic KVM code takes care of maintaining a mirror of the secure page
tables so that they can be queried efficiently, and ensuring that changes
are applied to both the mirror and the secure EPT.
- vCPU enter/exit: implement the callbacks that handle the entry of a TDX
vCPU (via the SEAMCALL TDH.VP.ENTER) and the corresponding save/restore
of host state.
- Userspace exits: introduce support for guest TDVMCALLs that KVM forwards to
userspace. These correspond to the usual KVM_EXIT_* "heavyweight vmexits"
but are triggered through a different mechanism, similar to VMGEXIT for
SEV-ES and SEV-SNP.
- Interrupt handling: support for virtual interrupt injection as well as
handling VM-Exits that are caused by vectored events. Exclusive to
TDX are machine-check SMIs, which the kernel already knows how to
handle through the kernel machine check handler (commit 7911f145de5f,
"x86/mce: Implement recovery for errors in TDX/SEAM non-root mode")
- Loose ends: handling of the remaining exits from the TDX module, including
EPT violation/misconfig and several TDVMCALL leaves that are handled in
the kernel (CPUID, HLT, RDMSR/WRMSR, GetTdVmCallInfo); plus returning
an error or ignoring operations that are not supported by TDX guests

Introduce an Intel specific quirk KVM_X86_QUIRK_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT to have
KVM ignore guest PAT when this quirk is enabled.
On AMD platforms, KVM always honors guest PAT. On Intel however there are
two issues. First, KVM *cannot* honor guest PAT if CPU feature self-snoop
is not supported. Second, UC access on certain Intel platforms can be very
slow[1] and honoring guest PAT on those platforms may break some old
guests that accidentally specify video RAM as UC. Those old guests may
never expect the slowness since KVM always forces WB previously. See [2].
So, introduce a quirk that KVM can enable by default on all Intel platforms
to avoid breaking old unmodifiable guests. Newer userspace can disable this
quirk if it wishes KVM to honor guest PAT; disabling the quirk will fail
if self-snoop is not supported, i.e. if KVM cannot obey the wish.
The quirk is a no-op on AMD and also if any assigned devices have
non-coherent DMA. This is not an issue, as KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED is
another example of a quirk that is sometimes automatically disabled.
