The (gfn, data, offset, len) order of parameters is a little strange
since "offset" applies to "gfn" rather than to "data". Add function
comments to make things perfectly clear.

that are "mapped" into guests via physical addresses.
- Add support for using gfn_to_pfn caches with only a host virtual address,
i.e. to bypass the "gfn" stage of the cache. The primary use case is
overlay pages, where the guest may change the gfn used to reference the
overlay page, but the backing hva+pfn remains the same.
- Add an ioctl() to allow mapping Xen's shared_info page using an hva instead
of a gpa, so that userspace doesn't need to reconfigure and invalidate the
cache/mapping if the guest changes the gpa (but userspace keeps the resolved
hva the same).
- When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the deadline for
Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the timer emulation.
- Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its APIC to fix
a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's behavior).
- Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ delivery of Xen
events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC IDs.
- Extend gfn_to_pfn_cache's mutex to cover (de)activation (in addition to
refresh), and drop a now-redundant acquisition of xen_lock (that was
protecting the shared_info cache) to fix a deadlock due to recursively
acquiring xen_lock.

The locking on the gfn_to_pfn_cache is... interesting. And awful.
There is a rwlock in ->lock which readers take to ensure protection
against concurrent changes. But __kvm_gpc_refresh() makes assumptions
that certain fields will not change even while it drops the write lock
and performs MM operations to revalidate the target PFN and kernel
mapping.
Commit 93984f19e7 ("KVM: Fully serialize gfn=>pfn cache refresh via
mutex") partly addressed that — not by fixing it, but by adding a new
mutex, ->refresh_lock. This prevented concurrent __kvm_gpc_refresh()
calls on a given gfn_to_pfn_cache, but is still only a partial solution.
There is still a theoretical race where __kvm_gpc_refresh() runs in
parallel with kvm_gpc_deactivate(). While __kvm_gpc_refresh() has
dropped the write lock, kvm_gpc_deactivate() clears the ->active flag
and unmaps ->khva. Then __kvm_gpc_refresh() determines that the previous
->pfn and ->khva are still valid, and reinstalls those values into the
structure. This leaves the gfn_to_pfn_cache with the ->valid bit set,
but ->active clear. And a ->khva which looks like a reasonable kernel
address but is actually unmapped.
All it takes is a subsequent reactivation to cause that ->khva to be
dereferenced. This would theoretically cause an oops which would look
something like this:
[1724749.564994] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffaa3540ace0e0
[1724749.565039] RIP: 0010:__kvm_xen_has_interrupt+0x8b/0xb0
I say "theoretically" because theoretically, that oops that was seen in
production cannot happen. The code which uses the gfn_to_pfn_cache is
supposed to have its *own* locking, to further paper over the fact that
the gfn_to_pfn_cache's own papering-over (->refresh_lock) of its own
rwlock abuse is not sufficient.
For the Xen vcpu_info that external lock is the vcpu->mutex, and for the
shared info it's kvm->arch.xen.xen_lock. Those locks ought to protect
the gfn_to_pfn_cache against concurrent deactivation vs. refresh in all
but the cases where the vcpu or kvm object is being *destroyed*, in
which case the subsequent reactivation should never happen.
Theoretically.
Nevertheless, this locking abuse is awful and should be fixed, even if
no clear explanation can be found for how the oops happened. So expand
the use of the ->refresh_lock mutex to ensure serialization of
activate/deactivate vs. refresh and make the pfncache locking entirely
self-sufficient.
This means that a future commit can simplify the locking in the callers,
such as the Xen emulation code which has an outstanding problem with
recursive locking of kvm->arch.xen.xen_lock, which will no longer be
necessary.
The rwlock abuse described above is still not best practice, although
it's harmless now that the ->refresh_lock is held for the entire duration
while the offending code drops the write lock, does some other stuff,
then takes the write lock again and assumes nothing changed. That can
also be fixed^W cleaned up in a subsequent commit, but this commit is
a simpler basis for the Xen deadlock fix mentioned above.

The general expectation with debugfs is that any initialization failure
is nonfatal. Nevertheless, kvm_arch_create_vm_debugfs() allows
implementations to return an error and kvm_create_vm_debugfs() allows
that to fail VM creation.
Change to a void return to discourage architectures from making debugfs
failures fatal for the VM. Seems like everyone already had the right
idea, as all implementations already return 0 unconditionally.

Disallow creating read-only memslots that support GUEST_MEMFD, as
GUEST_MEMFD is fundamentally incompatible with KVM's semantics for
read-only memslots. Read-only memslots allow the userspace VMM to emulate
option ROMs by filling the backing memory with readable, executable code
and data, while triggering emulated MMIO on writes. GUEST_MEMFD doesn't
currently support writes from userspace and KVM doesn't support emulated
MMIO on private accesses, i.e. the guest can only ever read zeros, and
writes will always be treated as errors.

Plumb in a dedicated hook for querying whether or not a vCPU was preempted
in-kernel. Unlike literally every other architecture, x86's VMX can check
if a vCPU is in kernel context if and only if the vCPU is loaded on the
current pCPU.
x86's kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() works around the limitation by querying
kvm_get_running_vcpu() and redirecting to vcpu->arch.preempted_in_kernel
as needed. But that's unnecessary, confusing, and fragile, e.g. x86 has
had at least one bug where KVM incorrectly used a stale
preempted_in_kernel.
No functional change intended.

When processing mmu_notifier invalidations for gpc caches, pre-check for
overlap with the invalidation event while holding gpc->lock for read, and
only take gpc->lock for write if the cache needs to be invalidated. Doing
a pre-check without taking gpc->lock for write avoids unnecessarily
contending the lock for unrelated invalidations, which is very beneficial
for caches that are heavily used (but rarely subjected to mmu_notifier

Some pfncache pages may actually be overlays on guest memory that have a
fixed HVA within the VMM. It's pointless to invalidate such cached
mappings if the overlay is moved so allow a cache to be activated directly
with the HVA to cater for such cases. A subsequent patch will make use
of this facility.

Currently the pfncache page offset is sometimes determined using the gpa
and sometimes the khva, whilst the uhva is always page-aligned. After a
subsequent patch is applied the gpa will not always be valid so adjust
the code to include the page offset in the uhva and use it consistently
as the source of truth.
Also, where a page-aligned address is required, use PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN()
for clarity.
No functional change intended.

As noted in [1] the KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN usage flag is never set by any
callers of kvm_gpc_init(), and for good reason: the implementation is
incomplete/broken. And it's not clear that there will ever be a user of
KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN, as coordinating vCPUs with mmu_notifier events is
non-trivial.
Remove KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN and all related code, e.g. dropping
KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN also makes the 'vcpu' argument redundant, to avoid
having to reason about broken code as __kvm_gpc_refresh() evolves.
Moreover, all existing callers specify KVM_HOST_USES_PFN so the usage
check in hva_to_pfn_retry() and hence the 'usage' argument to
kvm_gpc_init() are also redundant.

Cleanups to Kconfig definitions for KVM
* replace HAVE_KVM with an architecture-dependent symbol, when CONFIG_KVM
may or may not be available depending on CPU capabilities (MIPS)
* replace HAVE_KVM with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) for host-side code that is
not part of the KVM module, so that it is completely compiled out
* factor common "select" statements in common code instead of requiring
each architecture to specify it
CONFIG_IRQ_BYPASS_MANAGER is a dependency of the common code included by
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_BYPASS. There is no advantage in adding the corresponding
"select" directive to each architecture.

KVM uses __KVM_HAVE_* symbols in the architecture-dependent uapi/asm/kvm.h to mask
unused definitions in include/uapi/linux/kvm.h. __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM however
was nothing but a misguided attempt to define KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM only on
architectures where KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM) could possibly
return nonzero. This however does not make sense, and it prevented userspace
from supporting this architecture-independent feature without recompilation.
Therefore, these days __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM does not mask anything and
is only used in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c. Userspace does not need to test it
and there should be no need for it to exist. Remove it and replace it
with a Kconfig symbol within Linux source code.

Nullify the async #PF worker's local "apf" pointer immediately after the
point where the structure can be freed by the vCPU. The existing comment
is helpful, but easy to overlook as there is no associated code.
Update the comment to clarify that it can be freed by as soon as the lock
is dropped, as "after this point" isn't strictly accurate, nor does it
help understand what prevents the structure from being freed earlier.

Get a reference to the target VM's address space in async_pf_execute()
instead of gifting a reference from kvm_setup_async_pf(). Keeping the
address space alive just to service an async #PF is counter-productive,
i.e. if the process is exiting and all vCPUs are dead, then NOT doing
get_user_pages_remote() and freeing the address space asap is desirable.
Handling the mm reference entirely within async_pf_execute() also
simplifies the async #PF flows as a whole, e.g. it's not immediately
obvious when the worker task vs. the vCPU task is responsible for putting
the gifted mm reference.

Put the async #PF worker's reference to the VM's address space as soon as
the worker is done with the mm. This will allow deferring getting a
reference to the worker itself without having to track whether or not
getting a reference succeeded.
Note, if the vCPU is still alive, there is no danger of the worker getting
stuck with tearing down the host page tables, as userspace also holds a
reference (obviously), i.e. there is no risk of delaying the page-present
notification due to triggering the slow path in mmput().

Always flush the per-vCPU async #PF workqueue when a vCPU is clearing its
completion queue, e.g. when a VM and all its vCPUs is being destroyed.
KVM must ensure that none of its workqueue callbacks is running when the
last reference to the KVM _module_ is put. Gifting a reference to the
associated VM prevents the workqueue callback from dereferencing freed
vCPU/VM memory, but does not prevent the KVM module from being unloaded
before the callback completes.
Drop the misguided VM refcount gifting, as calling kvm_put_kvm() from
async_pf_execute() if kvm_put_kvm() flushes the async #PF workqueue will
result in deadlock. async_pf_execute() can't return until kvm_put_kvm()
finishes, and kvm_put_kvm() can't return until async_pf_execute() finishes:

If kvm_clear_async_pf_completion_queue() actually flushes the workqueue,
then there's no need to gift async_pf_execute() a reference because all
invocations of async_pf_execute() will be forced to complete before the
vCPU and its VM are destroyed/freed. And that in turn fixes the module
unloading bug as __fput() won't do module_put() on the last vCPU reference
until the vCPU has been freed, e.g. if closing the vCPU file also puts the
last reference to the KVM module.
Note that kvm_check_async_pf_completion() may also take the work item off
the completion queue and so also needs to flush the work queue, as the
work will not be seen by kvm_clear_async_pf_completion_queue(). Waiting
on the workqueue could theoretically delay a vCPU due to waiting for the
work to complete, but that's a very, very small chance, and likely a very
small delay. kvm_arch_async_page_present_queued() unconditionally makes a
new request, i.e. will effectively delay entering the guest, so the
remaining work is really just:
trace_kvm_async_pf_completed(addr, cr2_or_gpa);
__kvm_vcpu_wake_up(vcpu);
mmput(mm);
and mmput() can't drop the last reference to the page tables if the vCPU is
still alive, i.e. the vCPU won't get stuck tearing down page tables.
Add a helper to do the flushing, specifically to deal with "wakeup all"
work items, as they aren't actually work items, i.e. are never placed in a
workqueue. Trying to flush a bogus workqueue entry rightly makes
__flush_work() complain (kudos to whoever added that sanity check).
Note, commit 5f6de5cbeb ("KVM: Prevent module exit until all VMs are
freed") *tried* to fix the module refcounting issue by having VMs grab a
reference to the module, but that only made the bug slightly harder to hit
as it gave async_pf_execute() a bit more time to complete before the KVM
module could be unloaded.

When handling the end of an mmu_notifier invalidation, WARN if
mn_active_invalidate_count is already 0 do not decrement it further, i.e.
avoid causing mn_active_invalidate_count to underflow/wrap. In the worst
case scenario, effectively corrupting mn_active_invalidate_count could
cause kvm_swap_active_memslots() to hang indefinitely.
end() calls are *supposed* to be paired with start(), i.e. underflow can
only happen if there is a bug elsewhere in the kernel, but due to lack of
lockdep assertions in the mmu_notifier helpers, it's all too easy for a
bug to go unnoticed for some time, e.g. see the recently introduced
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl().
Ideally, mmu_notifiers would incorporate lockdep assertions, but users of
mmu_notifiers aren't required to hold any one specific lock, i.e. adding
the necessary annotations to make lockdep aware of all locks that are
mutally exclusive with mm_take_all_locks() isn't trivial.

guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can be used to

- New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify

- Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events using a
dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous" counter. If the
hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is recognized in the same VM-Exit
that KVM manually bumps an event count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the
hardware-triggered overflow and for KVM-triggered overflow.
- Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be problematic for
subsystems that require no regressions for W=1 builds.
- Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate IA32_SPEC_CTRL

There are two non-KVM patches buried in the middle of guest_memfd support:

The first is small and mostly suggested-by Christian Brauner; the second
a bit less so but it was written by an mm person (Vlastimil Babka).

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Add Jan Kara as VFS reviewer
- Show correct device and inode numbers in proc/<pid>/maps for vma
files on stacked filesystems. This is now easily doable thanks to
the backing file work from the last cycles. This comes with
selftests
Cleanups:
- Remove a redundant might_sleep() from wait_on_inode()
- Initialize pointer with NULL, not 0
- Clarify comment on access_override_creds()
- Rework and simplify eventfd_signal() and eventfd_signal_mask()
helpers
- Process aio completions in batches to avoid needless wakeups
- Completely decouple struct mnt_idmap from namespaces. We now only
keep the actual idmapping around and don't stash references to
namespaces
- Reformat maintainer entries to indicate that a given subsystem
belongs to fs/
- Simplify fput() for files that were never opened
- Get rid of various pointless file helpers
- Rename various file helpers
- Rename struct file members after SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU switch from
last cycle
- Make relatime_need_update() return bool
- Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_USER when allocating superblocks
- Replace deprecated ida_simple_*() calls with their current ida_*()
counterparts
Fixes:
- Fix comments on user namespace id mapping helpers. They aren't
kernel doc comments so they shouldn't be using /**
- s/Retuns/Returns/g in various places
- Add missing parameter documentation on can_move_mount_beneath()
- Rename i_mapping->private_data to i_mapping->i_private_data
- Fix a false-positive lockdep warning in pipe_write() for watch
queues
- Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation to improve performance
- Only notify writer that pipe resizing has finished after setting
pipe->max_usage otherwise writers are never notified that the pipe
has been resized and hang
- Fix some kernel docs in hfsplus
- s/passs/pass/g in various places
- Fix kernel docs in ntfs
- Fix kcalloc() arguments order reported by gcc 14
- Fix uninitialized value in reiserfs"

Common KVM changes for 6.8:
- Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.
- Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all architectures.
KVM_GENERIC_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES requires the generic MMU notifier code, because
it uses kvm_mmu_invalidate_begin/end. However, it would not work with a bespoke
implementation of MMU notifiers that does not use KVM_GENERIC_MMU_NOTIFIER,
because most likely it would not synchronize correctly on invalidation. So
the right thing to do is to note the problematic configuration if the
architecture does not select itself KVM_GENERIC_MMU_NOTIFIER; not to
enable it blindly.

CONFIG_HAVE_KVM is currently used by some architectures to either
enabled the KVM config proper, or to enable host-side code that is
not part of the KVM module. However, CONFIG_KVM's "select" statement
in virt/kvm/Kconfig corresponds to a third meaning, namely to
enable common Kconfigs required by all architectures that support
KVM.
These three meanings can be replaced respectively by an
architecture-specific Kconfig, by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM), or by
a new Kconfig symbol that is in turn selected by the
architecture-specific "config KVM".
Start by introducing such a new Kconfig symbol, CONFIG_KVM_COMMON.
Unlike CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, it is selected by CONFIG_KVM, not by
architecture code, and it brings in all dependencies of common
KVM code. In particular, INTERVAL_TREE was missing in loongarch
and riscv, so that is another thing that is fixed.

Revert KVM's misguided attempt to "fix" a use-after-module-unload bug that
was actually due to failure to flush a workqueue, not a lack of module
refcounting. Pinning the KVM module until kvm_vm_destroy() doesn't
prevent use-after-free due to the module being unloaded, as userspace can
invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM is put, i.e.
can cause all KVM code to be unmapped while KVM is actively executing said
code.
Generally speaking, the many instances of module_put(THIS_MODULE)
notwithstanding, outside of a few special paths, a module can never safely
put the last reference to itself without creating deadlock, i.e. something
external to the module *must* put the last reference. In other words,
having VMs grab a reference to the KVM module is futile, pointless, and as
evidenced by the now-reverted commit 70375c2d8f ("Revert "KVM: set owner
of cpu and vm file operations""), actively dangerous.
This reverts commit 405294f29f and commit
5f6de5cbeb.

Set .owner for all KVM-owned filed types so that the KVM module is pinned
until any files with callbacks back into KVM are completely freed. Using
"struct kvm" as a proxy for the module, i.e. keeping KVM-the-module alive
while there are active VMs, doesn't provide full protection.
Userspace can invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM
is put. If KVM itself puts the last reference, e.g. via kvm_destroy_vm(),
then it's possible for KVM to be preempted and deleted/unloaded before KVM
fully exits, e.g. when the task running kvm_destroy_vm() is scheduled back
in, it will jump to a code page that is no longer mapped.
Note, file types that can call into sub-module code, e.g. kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko on x86, must use the module pointer passed to kvm_init(), not
THIS_MODULE (which points at kvm.ko). KVM assumes that if /dev/kvm is
reachable, e.g. VMs are active, then the vendor module is loaded.
To reduce the probability of forgetting to set .owner entirely, use
THIS_MODULE for stats files where KVM does not call back into vendor code.
This reverts commit 70375c2d8f, and fixes
several other file types that have been buggy since their introduction.

kvm_main.c utilizes vmemdup_user() and array_size() to copy a userspace
array. Currently, this does not check for an overflow.
Use the new wrapper vmemdup_array_user() to copy the array more safely.
Note, KVM explicitly checks the number of entries before duplicating the
array, i.e. adding the overflow check should be a glorified nop.

KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL allows userspace to check if the kvm_device
framework (e.g. KVM_CREATE_DEVICE) is supported by KVM. Move
KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL to the generic check for the two reasons:
1) it already supports arch agnostic usages (i.e. KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO).
For example, userspace VFIO implementation may needs to create
KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO on x86, riscv, or arm etc. It is simpler to have it
checked at the generic code than at each arch's code.
2) KVM_CREATE_DEVICE has been added to the generic code.

Introduce several new KVM uAPIs to ultimately create a guest-first memory
subsystem within KVM, a.k.a. guest_memfd. Guest-first memory allows KVM
to provide features, enhancements, and optimizations that are kludgly
or outright impossible to implement in a generic memory subsystem.
The core KVM ioctl() for guest_memfd is KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, which
similar to the generic memfd_create(), creates an anonymous file and
returns a file descriptor that refers to it. Again like "regular"
memfd files, guest_memfd files live in RAM, have volatile storage,
and are automatically released when the last reference is dropped.
The key differences between memfd files (and every other memory subystem)
is that guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be resized.
guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can be used to
convert a guest memory area between the shared and guest-private states.
A second KVM ioctl(), KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, allows userspace to
specify attributes for a given page of guest memory. In the long term,
it will likely be extended to allow userspace to specify per-gfn RWX
protections, including allowing memory to be writable in the guest
without it also being writable in host userspace.
The immediate and driving use case for guest_memfd are Confidential
(CoCo) VMs, specifically AMD's SEV-SNP, Intel's TDX, and KVM's own pKVM.
For such use cases, being able to map memory into KVM guests without
requiring said memory to be mapped into the host is a hard requirement.
While SEV+ and TDX prevent untrusted software from reading guest private
data by encrypting guest memory, pKVM provides confidentiality and
integrity *without* relying on memory encryption. In addition, with
SEV-SNP and especially TDX, accessing guest private memory can be fatal
to the host, i.e. KVM must be prevent host userspace from accessing
guest memory irrespective of hardware behavior.
Long term, guest_memfd may be useful for use cases beyond CoCo VMs,
for example hardening userspace against unintentional accesses to guest
memory. As mentioned earlier, KVM's ABI uses userspace VMA protections to
define the allow guest protection (with an exception granted to mapping
guest memory executable), and similarly KVM currently requires the guest
mapping size to be a strict subset of the host userspace mapping size.
Decoupling the mappings sizes would allow userspace to precisely map
only what is needed and with the required permissions, without impacting
guest performance.
A guest-first memory subsystem also provides clearer line of sight to
things like a dedicated memory pool (for slice-of-hardware VMs) and
elimination of "struct page" (for offload setups where userspace _never_
needs to DMA from or into guest memory).
guest_memfd is the result of 3+ years of development and exploration;
taking on memory management responsibilities in KVM was not the first,
second, or even third choice for supporting CoCo VMs. But after many
failed attempts to avoid KVM-specific backing memory, and looking at
where things ended up, it is quite clear that of all approaches tried,
guest_memfd is the simplest, most robust, and most extensible, and the
right thing to do for KVM and the kernel at-large.
The "development cycle" for this version is going to be very short;
ideally, next week I will merge it as is in kvm/next, taking this through
the KVM tree for 6.8 immediately after the end of the merge window.
The series is still based on 6.6 (plus KVM changes for 6.7) so it
will require a small fixup for changes to get_file_rcu() introduced in
6.7 by commit 0ede61d858 ("file: convert to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU").
The fixup will be done as part of the merge commit, and most of the text
above will become the commit message for the merge.
Pending post-merge work includes:
- hugepage support
- looking into using the restrictedmem framework for guest memory
- introducing a testing mechanism to poison memory, possibly using
the same memory attributes introduced here
- SNP and TDX support
There are two non-KVM patches buried in the middle of this series:
fs: Rename anon_inode_getfile_secure() and anon_inode_getfd_secure()
mm: Add AS_UNMOVABLE to mark mapping as completely unmovable
The first is small and mostly suggested-by Christian Brauner; the second
a bit less so but it was written by an mm person (Vlastimil Babka).
