<id>urn:sha1:5afa4b1ab05b59840a021529708c4a6dfe2dcd11</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 89581f06b2bc225f0c9822fa52e714aa2e3810dd upstream.

We need to set cpsr before determining the spsr bank, as the bank
depends on the target exception level of the injection, not the
current mode of the vcpu. Normally this is one in the same (EL1),
but not when we manage to trap an EL0 fault. It still doesn't really
matter for the 64-bit EL0 case though, as vcpu_spsr() unconditionally
uses the EL1 bank for that. However the 32-bit EL0 case gets fun, as
that path will lead to the BUG() in vcpu_spsr32().

This patch fixes the assignment order and also modifies some white
space in order to better group pairs of lines that have strict order.

<content type='text'>
commit 4c47eb1c18c38b755eb4894a6ca38f834de3ec23 upstream.

The kprobe enablement work has uncovered that changes made by
a guest to MDSCR_EL1 were propagated to the host when VHE was
enabled, leading to unexpected exception being delivered.

Moving this register to the list of registers that are always
context-switched fixes the issue.

<title>arm64: KVM: vgic-v3: Relax synchronization when SRE==1</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c58513284029229842844929ddeaca44d013c128</id>
<content type='text'>
The GICv3 backend of the vgic is quite barrier heavy, in order
to ensure synchronization of the system registers and the
memory mapped view for a potential GICv2 guest.

But when the guest is using a GICv3 model, there is absolutely
no need to execute all these heavy barriers, and it is actually
beneficial to avoid them altogether.

This patch makes the synchonization conditional, and ensures
that we do not change the EL1 SRE settings if we do not need to.

<title>arm64: KVM: vgic-v3: Prevent the guest from messing with ICC_SRE_EL1</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a057001e9e446f2195c34bc55c57e5cf353c99d6</id>
<content type='text'>
Both our GIC emulations are "strict", in the sense that we either
emulate a GICv2 or a GICv3, and not a GICv3 with GICv2 legacy
support.

But when running on a GICv3 host, we still allow the guest to
tinker with the ICC_SRE_EL1 register during its time slice:
it can switch SRE off, observe that it is off, and yet on the
next world switch, find the SRE bit to be set again. Not very
nice.

An obvious solution is to always trap accesses to ICC_SRE_EL1
(by clearing ICC_SRE_EL2.Enable), and to let the handler return
the programmed value on a read, or ignore the write.

That way, the guest can always observe that our GICv3 is SRE==1
only.

When we trap ICC_SRE_EL1, we handle it as RAZ/WI. It would be
more correct to actual make it RO, and return the configured
value when read.

When saving the state of the list registers, it is critical to
reset them zero, as we could otherwise leave unexpected EOI
interrupts pending for virtual level interrupts.

Pull second batch of KVM updates from Radim Krčmář:
 "General:

   - move kvm_stat tool from QEMU repo into tools/kvm/kvm_stat (kvm_stat
     had nothing to do with QEMU in the first place -- the tool only
     interprets debugfs)

   - expose per-vm statistics in debugfs and support them in kvm_stat
     (KVM always collected per-vm statistics, but they were summarised
     into global statistics)

  x86:

   - fix dynamic APICv (VMX was improperly configured and a guest could
     access host's APIC MSRs, CVE-2016-4440)

   - minor fixes

  ARM changes from Christoffer Dall:

   - new vgic reimplementation of our horribly broken legacy vgic
     implementation.  The two implementations will live side-by-side
     (with the new being the configured default) for one kernel release
     and then we'll remove the legacy one.

   - fix for a non-critical issue with virtual abort injection to guests"

Now that the new VGIC implementation has reached feature parity with
the old one, add the new files to the build system and add a Kconfig
option to switch between the two versions.
We set the default to the new version to get maximum test coverage,
in case people experience problems they can switch back to the old
behaviour if needed.

   - miscellaneous fixes
   - AVIC support (local APIC virtualization, AMD version)

  s390:
   - polling for interrupts after a VCPU goes to halted state is now
     enabled for s390
   - use hardware provided information about facility bits that do not
     need any hypervisor activity, and other fixes for cpu models and
     facilities
   - improve perf output
   - floating interrupt controller improvements.

  MIPS:
   - miscellaneous fixes

  PPC:
   - bugfixes only

  ARM:
   - 16K page size support
   - generic firmware probing layer for timer and GIC

    "There are a few changes in this pull request touching things
     outside KVM, but they should all carry the necessary acks and it
     made the merge process much easier to do it this way."

  though actually the irqchip maintainers' acks didn't make it into the
  patches.  Marc Zyngier, who is both irqchip and KVM-ARM maintainer,
  later acked at http://mid.gmane.org/573351D1.4060303@arm.com ('more
