commit 04b8dc85bf4a64517e3cf20e409eeaa503b15cc1 upstream.

The kernel's pgd_index macro is designed to index a normal, page
sized array. KVM is a bit diffferent, as we can use concatenated
pages to have a bigger address space (for example 40bit IPA with
4kB pages gives us an 8kB PGD.

In the above case, the use of pgd_index will always return an index
inside the first 4kB, which makes a guest that has memory above
0x8000000000 rather unhappy, as it spins forever in a page fault,
whist the host happilly corrupts the lower pgd.

The obvious fix is to get our own kvm_pgd_index that does the right
thing(tm).

Tested on X-Gene with a hacked kvmtool that put memory at a stupidly
high address.

commit a987370f8e7a1677ae385042644326d9cd145a20 upstream.

We're using __get_free_pages with to allocate the guest's stage-2
PGD. The standard behaviour of this function is to return a set of
pages where only the head page has a valid refcount.

This behaviour gets us into trouble when we're trying to increment
the refcount on a non-head page:

page:ffff7c00cfb693c0 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
flags: 0x4000000000000000()

CPU0: stopping

A possible approach for this is to split the compound page using
split_page() at allocation time, and change the teardown path to
free one page at a time.  It turns out that alloc_pages_exact() and
free_pages_exact() does exactly that.

While we're at it, the PGD allocation code is reworked to reduce
duplication.

This has been tested on an X-Gene platform with a 4kB/48bit-VA host
kernel, and kvmtool hacked to place memory in the second page of
the hardware PGD (PUD for the host kernel). Also regression-tested
on a Cubietruck (Cortex-A7).

 [ Reworked to use alloc_pages_exact() and free_pages_exact() and to
   return pointers directly instead of by reference as arguments

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: check IRQ number on userland injection</title>

<id>urn:sha1:288e76c094a2d219d67eb980de66721e0145b2fb</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fd1d0ddf2ae92fb3df42ed476939861806c5d785 upstream.

When userland injects a SPI via the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl we currently
only check it against a fixed limit, which historically is set
to 127. With the new dynamic IRQ allocation the effective limit may
actually be smaller (64).
So when now a malicious or buggy userland injects a SPI in that
range, we spill over on our VGIC bitmaps and bytemaps memory.
I could trigger a host kernel NULL pointer dereference with current
mainline by injecting some bogus IRQ number from a hacked kvmtool:
-----------------
....
DEBUG: kvm_vgic_inject_irq(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: vgic_update_irq_pending(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: IRQ #114 still in the game, writing to bytemap now...
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = ffffffc07652e000
[00000000] *pgd=00000000f658b003, *pud=00000000f658b003, *pmd=0000000000000000
Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
Modules linked in:
CPU: 1 PID: 1053 Comm: lkvm-msi-irqinj Not tainted 4.0.0-rc7+ #3027
Hardware name: FVP Base (DT)

PC is at kvm_vgic_inject_irq+0x234/0x310

pc : [&lt;ffffffc0000ae0a8&gt;] lr : [&lt;ffffffc0000ae180&gt;] pstate: 80000145
.....

So this patch fixes this by checking the SPI number against the
actual limit. Also we remove the former legacy hard limit of
127 in the ioctl code.

<content type='text'>
When handling a fault in stage-2, we need to resync I$ and D$, just
to be sure we don't leave any old cache line behind.

That's very good, except that we do so using the *user* address.
Under heavy load (swapping like crazy), we may end up in a situation
where the page gets mapped in stage-2 while being unmapped from
userspace by another CPU.

At that point, the DC/IC instructions can generate a fault, which
we handle with kvm-&gt;mmu_lock held. The box quickly deadlocks, user
is unhappy.

Instead, perform this invalidation through the kernel mapping,
which is guaranteed to be present. The box is much happier, and so
am I.

Let's assume a guest has created an uncached mapping, and written
to that page. Let's also assume that the host uses a cache-coherent
IO subsystem. Let's finally assume that the host is under memory
pressure and starts to swap things out.

Before this "uncached" page is evicted, we need to make sure
we invalidate potential speculated, clean cache lines that are
sitting there, or the IO subsystem is going to swap out the
cached view, loosing the data that has been written directly
into memory.

<content type='text'>
Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly
pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff.
Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore
set/way operations.

So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops,
and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way,
we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do
a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway).

This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will
probably help bootloaders in general.

Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "3.19 changes for KVM:

   - spring cleaning: removed support for IA64, and for hardware-
     assisted virtualization on the PPC970

   - ARM, PPC, s390 all had only small fixes

  For x86:
   - small performance improvements (though only on weird guests)
   - usual round of hardware-compliancy fixes from Nadav
   - APICv fixes
   - XSAVES support for hosts and guests.  XSAVES hosts were broken
     because the (non-KVM) XSAVES patches inadvertently changed the KVM
     userspace ABI whenever XSAVES was enabled; hence, this part is
     going to stable.  Guest support is just a matter of exposing the
     feature and CPUID leaves support"

It is curently possible to run a VM with architected timers support
without creating an in-kernel VGIC, which will result in interrupts from
the virtual timer going nowhere.

To address this issue, move the architected timers initialization to the
time when we run a VCPU for the first time, and then only initialize
(and enable) the architected timers if we have a properly created and
initialized in-kernel VGIC.

When injecting interrupts from the virtual timer to the vgic, the
current setup should ensure that this never calls an on-demand init of
the VGIC, which is the only call path that could return an error from
kvm_vgic_inject_irq(), so capture the return value and raise a warning
if there's an error there.

We also change the kvm_timer_init() function from returning an int to be
a void function, since the function always succeeds.

When the vgic initializes its internal state it does so based on the
number of VCPUs available at the time.  If we allow KVM to create more
VCPUs after the VGIC has been initialized, we are likely to error out in
unfortunate ways later, perform buffer overflows etc.

The vgic_initialized() macro currently returns the state of the
vgic-&gt;ready flag, which indicates if the vgic is ready to be used when
running a VM, not specifically if its internal state has been
initialized.

Rename the macro accordingly in preparation for a more nuanced
initialization flow.
