commit fdfe7cbd58806522e799e2a50a15aee7f2cbb7b6 upstream.

The 'flags' field of 'struct mmu_notifier_range' is used to indicate
whether invalidate_range_{start,end}() are permitted to block. In the
case of kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), this field is not
forwarded on to the architecture-specific implementation of
kvm_unmap_hva_range() and therefore the backend cannot sensibly decide
whether or not to block.

Add an extra 'flags' parameter to kvm_unmap_hva_range() so that
architectures are aware as to whether or not they are permitted to block.

<title>x86/uaccess: Make __get_user_size() Clang compliant on 32-bit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3b0bcd64c4000409b5a8db52df3b77ee35092fd5</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 158807de5822d1079e162a3762956fd743dd483e ]

Clang fails to compile __get_user_size() on 32-bit for the following code:

      long long val;

      __get_user(val, usrptr);

with: error: invalid output size for constraint '=q'

GCC compiles the same code without complaints.

The reason is that GCC and Clang are architecturally different, which leads
to subtle issues for code that's invalid but clearly dead, i.e. with code
that emulates polymorphism with the preprocessor and sizeof.

GCC will perform semantic analysis after early inlining and dead code
elimination, so it will not warn on invalid code that's dead. Clang
strictly performs optimizations after semantic analysis, so it will warn
for dead code.

Neither Clang nor GCC like this very much with -m32:

long long ret;
asm ("movb $5, %0" : "=q" (ret));

However, GCC can tolerate this variant:

long long ret;
switch (sizeof(ret)) {
case 1:
        asm ("movb $5, %0" : "=q" (ret));
        break;
case 8:;
}

Clang, on the other hand, won't accept that because it validates the inline
asm for the '1' case before the optimisation phase where it realises that
it wouldn't have to emit it anyway.

If LLVM (Clang's "back end") fails such as during instruction selection or
register allocation, it cannot provide accurate diagnostics (warnings /
errors) that contain line information, as the AST has been discarded from
memory at that point.

While there have been early discussions about having C/C++ specific
language optimizations in Clang via the use of MLIR, which would enable
such earlier optimizations, such work is not scoped and likely a multi-year
endeavor.

It was discussed to change the asm output constraint for the one byte case
from "=q" to "=r". While it works for 64-bit, it fails on 32-bit. With '=r'
the compiler could fail to chose a register accessible as high/low which is
required for the byte operation. If that happens the assembly will fail.

Use a local temporary variable of type 'unsigned char' as output for the
byte copy inline asm and then assign it to the real output variable. This
prevents Clang from failing the semantic analysis in the above case.

The resulting code for the actual one byte copy is not affected as the
temporary variable is optimized out.

<content type='text'>
commit cadfad870154e14f745ec845708bc17d166065f2 upstream.

tss_invalidate_io_bitmap() wasn't wired up properly through the pvop
machinery, so the TSS and Xen's io bitmap would get out of sync
whenever disabling a valid io bitmap.

Add a new pvop for tss_invalidate_io_bitmap() to fix it.

This is XSA-329.

[ Upstream commit 7ad816762f9bf89e940e618ea40c43138b479e10 ]

Previously, kernel floating point code would run with the MXCSR control
register value last set by userland code by the thread that was active
on the CPU core just before kernel call. This could affect calculation
results if rounding mode was changed, or a crash if a FPU/SIMD exception
was unmasked.

Restore MXCSR to the kernel's default value.

<content type='text'>
commit 5d5103595e9e53048bb7e70ee2673c897ab38300 upstream.

Reinitialize IA32_FEAT_CTL on the BSP during wakeup to handle the case
where firmware doesn't initialize or save/restore across S3.  This fixes
a bug where IA32_FEAT_CTL is left uninitialized and results in VMXON
taking a #GP due to VMX not being fully enabled, i.e. breaks KVM.

Use init_ia32_feat_ctl() to "restore" IA32_FEAT_CTL as it already deals
with the case where the MSR is locked, and because APs already redo
init_ia32_feat_ctl() during suspend by virtue of the SMP boot flow being
used to reinitialize APs upon wakeup.  Do the call in the early wakeup
flow to avoid dependencies in the syscore_ops chain, e.g. simply adding
a resume hook is not guaranteed to work, as KVM does VMXON in its own
resume hook, kvm_resume(), when KVM has active guests.

<id>urn:sha1:94e9aa029b81327467bc191dae9f30954cf19d5c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bf09fb6cba4f7099620cc9ed32d94c27c4af992e upstream.

Remove support for context switching between the guest's and host's
desired UMWAIT_CONTROL.  Propagating the guest's value to hardware isn't
required for correct functionality, e.g. KVM intercepts reads and writes
to the MSR, and the latency effects of the settings controlled by the
MSR are not architecturally visible.

As a general rule, KVM should not allow the guest to control power
management settings unless explicitly enabled by userspace, e.g. see
KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS.  E.g. Intel's SDM explicitly states that C0.2
can improve the performance of SMT siblings.  A devious guest could
disable C0.2 so as to improve the performance of their workloads at the
detriment to workloads running in the host or on other VMs.

Wholesale removal of UMWAIT_CONTROL context switching also fixes a race
condition where updates from the host may cause KVM to enter the guest
with the incorrect value.  Because updates are are propagated to all
CPUs via IPI (SMP function callback), the value in hardware may be
stale with respect to the cached value and KVM could enter the guest
with the wrong value in hardware.  As above, the guest can't observe the
bad value, but it's a weird and confusing wart in the implementation.

Removal also fixes the unnecessary usage of VMX's atomic load/store MSR
lists.  Using the lists is only necessary for MSRs that are required for
correct functionality immediately upon VM-Enter/VM-Exit, e.g. EFER on
old hardware, or for MSRs that need to-the-uop precision, e.g. perf
related MSRs.  For UMWAIT_CONTROL, the effects are only visible in the
kernel via TPAUSE/delay(), and KVM doesn't do any form of delay in
vcpu_vmx_run().  Using the atomic lists is undesirable as they are more
expensive than direct RDMSR/WRMSR.

Furthermore, even if giving the guest control of the MSR is legitimate,
e.g. in pass-through scenarios, it's not clear that the benefits would
outweigh the overhead.  E.g. saving and restoring an MSR across a VMX
roundtrip costs ~250 cycles, and if the guest diverged from the host
that cost would be paid on every run of the guest.  In other words, if
there is a legitimate use case then it should be enabled by a new
per-VM capability.

Note, KVM still needs to emulate MSR_IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL so that it can
correctly expose other WAITPKG features to the guest, e.g. TPAUSE,
UMWAIT and UMONITOR.

The original Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) architectural
definition defines counters of up to 62 bits in the
IA32_QM_CTR MSR while the first-generation MBM implementation
uses statically defined 24 bit counters.

Expand the MBM CPUID enumeration properties to include the MBM
counter width. The previously undefined EAX output register contains,
in bits [7:0], the MBM counter width encoded as an offset from
24 bits. Enumerating this property is only specified for Intel
CPUs.

[ Upstream commit 0118ad82c2a64ebcf15d7565ed35361407efadfa ]

The function determining a platform's support and properties of cache
occupancy and memory bandwidth monitoring (properties of
X86_FEATURE_CQM_LLC) can be found among the common CPU code. After
the feature's properties is populated in the per-CPU data the resctrl
subsystem is the only consumer (via boot_cpu_data).

Move the function that obtains the CPU information used by resctrl to
the resctrl subsystem and rename it from init_cqm() to
resctrl_cpu_detect(). The function continues to be called from the
common CPU code. This move is done in preparation of the addition of some
vendor specific code.

No functional change.
