commit a1c77abb8d93381e25a8d2df3a917388244ba776 upstream.

Return true for vmx_interrupt_allowed() if the vCPU is in L2 and L1 has
external interrupt exiting enabled.  IRQs are never blocked in hardware
if the CPU is in the guest (L2 from L1's perspective) when IRQs trigger
VM-Exit.

The new check percolates up to kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection()
and thus vcpu_run(), and so KVM will exit to userspace if userspace has
requested an interrupt window (to inject an IRQ into L1).

Remove the @external_intr param from vmx_check_nested_events(), which is
actually an indicator that userspace wants an interrupt window, e.g.
it's named @req_int_win further up the stack.  Injecting a VM-Exit into
L1 to try and bounce out to L0 userspace is all kinds of broken and is
no longer necessary.

Remove the hack in nested_vmx_vmexit() that attempted to workaround the
breakage in vmx_check_nested_events() by only filling interrupt info if
there's an actual interrupt pending.  The hack actually made things
worse because it caused KVM to _never_ fill interrupt info when the
LAPIC resides in userspace (kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() queries
interrupt.injected, which is always cleared by prepare_vmcs12() before
reaching the hack in nested_vmx_vmexit()).

[ Upstream commit 6db73f17c5f155dbcfd5e48e621c706270b84df0 ]

When SEV or SME is enabled and active, vm_get_page_prot() typically
returns with the encryption bit set. This means that users of
pgprot_modify(, vm_get_page_prot()) (mprotect_fixup(), do_mmap()) end up
with a value of vma-&gt;vm_pg_prot that is not consistent with the intended
protection of the PTEs.

This is also important for fault handlers that rely on the VMA
vm_page_prot to set the page protection. Fix this by not allowing
pgprot_modify() to change the encryption bit, similar to how it's done
for PAT bits.

Commit 111e7b15cf10f6 ("x86/ioperm: Extend IOPL config to control ioperm()
as well") reworked the iopl syscall to use I/O bitmaps.

Unfortunately this broke Xen PV domains using that syscall as there is
currently no I/O bitmap support in PV domains.

Add I/O bitmap support via a new paravirt function update_io_bitmap which
Xen PV domains can use to update their I/O bitmaps via a hypercall.

commit 21b5ee59ef18e27d85810584caf1f7ddc705ea83 upstream.

Commit

  aaf248848db50 ("perf/x86/msr: Add AMD IRPERF (Instructions Retired)
		  performance counter")

added support for access to the free-running counter via 'perf -e
msr/irperf/', but when exercised, it always returns a 0 count:

BEFORE:

  $ perf stat -e instructions,msr/irperf/ true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

             624,833      instructions
                   0      msr/irperf/

Simply set its enable bit - HWCR bit 30 - to make it start counting.

Enablement is restricted to all machines advertising IRPERF capability,
except those susceptible to an erratum that makes the IRPERF return
bad values.

That erratum occurs in Family 17h models 00-1fh [1], but not in F17h
models 20h and above [2].

AFTER (on a family 17h model 31h machine):

  $ perf stat -e instructions,msr/irperf/ true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

             621,690      instructions
             622,490      msr/irperf/

[ Upstream commit 248ed51048c40d36728e70914e38bffd7821da57 ]

First, printk() is NMI-context safe now since the safe printk() has been
implemented and it already has an irq_work to make NMI-context safe.

Second, this NMI irq_work actually does not work if a NMI handler causes
panic by watchdog timeout. It has no chance to run in such case, while
the safe printk() will flush its per-cpu buffers before panicking.

While at it, repurpose the irq_work callback into a function which
concentrates the NMI duration checking and makes the code easier to
follow.

<id>urn:sha1:38253ee10a964c9950d7eec66d581b5261e13a57</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 6f1a4891a5928a5969c87fa5a584844c983ec823 upstream.

Evan tracked down a subtle race between the update of the MSI message and
the device raising an interrupt internally on PCI devices which do not
support MSI masking. The update of the MSI message is non-atomic and
consists of either 2 or 3 sequential 32bit wide writes to the PCI config
space.

   - Write address low 32bits
   - Write address high 32bits (If supported by device)
   - Write data

When an interrupt is migrated then both address and data might change, so
the kernel attempts to mask the MSI interrupt first. But for MSI masking is
optional, so there exist devices which do not provide it. That means that
if the device raises an interrupt internally between the writes then a MSI
message is sent built from half updated state.

On x86 this can lead to spurious interrupts on the wrong interrupt
vector when the affinity setting changes both address and data. As a
consequence the device interrupt can be lost causing the device to
become stuck or malfunctioning.

Evan tried to handle that by disabling MSI accross an MSI message
update. That's not feasible because disabling MSI has issues on its own:

 If MSI is disabled the PCI device is routing an interrupt to the legacy
 INTx mechanism. The INTx delivery can be disabled, but the disablement is
 not working on all devices.

 Some devices lose interrupts when both MSI and INTx delivery are disabled.

Another way to solve this would be to enforce the allocation of the same
vector on all CPUs in the system for this kind of screwed devices. That
could be done, but it would bring back the vector space exhaustion problems
which got solved a few years ago.

Fortunately the high address (if supported by the device) is only relevant
when X2APIC is enabled which implies interrupt remapping. In the interrupt
remapping case the affinity setting is happening at the interrupt remapping
unit and the PCI MSI message is programmed only once when the PCI device is
initialized.

That makes it possible to solve it with a two step update:

  1) Target the MSI msg to the new vector on the current target CPU

  2) Target the MSI msg to the new vector on the new target CPU

In both cases writing the MSI message is only changing a single 32bit word
which prevents the issue of inconsistency.

After writing the final destination it is necessary to check whether the
device issued an interrupt while the intermediate state #1 (new vector,
current CPU) was in effect.

This is possible because the affinity change is always happening on the
current target CPU. The code runs with interrupts disabled, so the
interrupt can be detected by checking the IRR of the local APIC. If the
vector is pending in the IRR then the interrupt is retriggered on the new
target CPU by sending an IPI for the associated vector on the target CPU.

This can cause spurious interrupts on both the local and the new target
CPU.

 1) If the new vector is not in use on the local CPU and the device
    affected by the affinity change raised an interrupt during the
    transitional state (step #1 above) then interrupt entry code will
    ignore that spurious interrupt. The vector is marked so that the
    'No irq handler for vector' warning is supressed once.

 2) If the new vector is in use already on the local CPU then the IRR check
    might see an pending interrupt from the device which is using this
    vector. The IPI to the new target CPU will then invoke the handler of
    the device, which got the affinity change, even if that device did not
    issue an interrupt

 3) If the new vector is in use already on the local CPU and the device
    affected by the affinity change raised an interrupt during the
    transitional state (step #1 above) then the handler of the device which
    uses that vector on the local CPU will be invoked.

expose issues in device driver interrupt handlers which are not prepared to
handle a spurious interrupt correctly. This not a regression, it's just
exposing something which was already broken as spurious interrupts can
happen for a lot of reasons and all driver handlers need to be able to deal
with them.

commit 979923871f69a4dc926658f9f9a1a4c1bde57552 upstream.

Tony reported a boot regression caused by the recent workaround for systems
which have a disabled (clock gate off) PIT.

On his machine the kernel fails to initialize the PIT because
apic_needs_pit() does not take into account whether the local APIC
interrupt delivery mode will actually allow to setup and use the local
APIC timer. This should be easy to reproduce with acpi=off on the
command line which also disables HPET.

Due to the way the PIT/HPET and APIC setup ordering works (APIC setup can
require working PIT/HPET) the information is not available at the point
where apic_needs_pit() makes this decision.

To address this, split out the interrupt mode selection from
apic_intr_mode_init(), invoke the selection before making the decision
whether PIT is required or not, and add the missing checks into
apic_needs_pit().

<content type='text'>
commit 736c291c9f36b07f8889c61764c28edce20e715d upstream.

Convert a plethora of parameters and variables in the MMU and page fault
flows from type gva_t to gpa_t to properly handle TDP on 32-bit KVM.

Thanks to PSE and PAE paging, 32-bit kernels can access 64-bit physical
addresses.  When TDP is enabled, the fault address is a guest physical
address and thus can be a 64-bit value, even when both KVM and its guest
are using 32-bit virtual addressing, e.g. VMX's VMCS.GUEST_PHYSICAL is a
64-bit field, not a natural width field.

Using a gva_t for the fault address means KVM will incorrectly drop the
upper 32-bits of the GPA.  Ditto for gva_to_gpa() when it is used to
translate L2 GPAs to L1 GPAs.

Opportunistically rename variables and parameters to better reflect the
dual address modes, e.g. use "cr2_or_gpa" for fault addresses and plain
"addr" instead of "vaddr" when the address may be either a GVA or an L2
GPA.  Similarly, use "gpa" in the nonpaging_page_fault() flows to avoid
a confusing "gpa_t gva" declaration; this also sets the stage for a
future patch to combing nonpaging_page_fault() and tdp_page_fault() with
minimal churn.

Sprinkle in a few comments to document flows where an address is known
to be a GVA and thus can be safely truncated to a 32-bit value.  Add
WARNs in kvm_handle_page_fault() and FNAME(gva_to_gpa_nested)() to help
document such cases and detect bugs.
