Arm:
- Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code, which
should help both debugging and performance analysis. This uses the
new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed
by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came through the
tracing tree.
- Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the starting
point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM.
- Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are unmapped
from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can be shared back
from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected guests are created
using a new machine type identifier. As the elusive guestmem has not
yet delivered on its promises, anonymous memory is also supported.
This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet isolated.
Because this does not really yet bring fully what it promises, it is
hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST + 'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and
also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is created. Caveat emptor.
- Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state immutable.
- Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page tables
on a per-VM basis.
- Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to follow.
- Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
to very bad HW lockups.
- A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error cases.
- Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
SMCCC calls.
- The usual cleanups and other selftest churn.
LoongArch:
- Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel().
- Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support.
RISC-V:
- Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks
- Fix vector context allocation leak
- Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()
- Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()
- Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()
- Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()
- Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging
- Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging
- Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core
- Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests
- Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources
- Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config
- Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources
- Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space
s390:
- Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors.
- Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed anymore with
the new gmap code.
- Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking event
address register).
x86:
- Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before they
were initialized.
- Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting hugepages in
the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in the page table and
thus write all bytes.
- As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings if the
target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage.
x86 generic:
- Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more precisely
struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack bugs where KVM
would dereference stack pointer after an exit to userspace.
- Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it easier to
maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier").
- Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of VMX
and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O.
- Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions
- Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one of
KVM's headers that is included multiple times.
- Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
unintentionally crashing the VM.
- Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec.
- Misc hardening and cleanup changes.
x86 (AMD):
- Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it per-vCPU
so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs.
- Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which KVM would
overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel.
This should not be a problem because OSVW should usually be the same for
all CPUs.
- Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a
"too large" size based purely on user input.
- Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION.
- Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as
doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an RMP violation
page fault.
- Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries
are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep. Fix various
bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for the whole
duration of a function or ioctl.
- Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard().
- Play nicer with userspace that does not enable KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD,
for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6 as a response to ioctls such as
KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the payload would end up in EXITINFO2
rather than CR2, for example). Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of
the payload is imminent, but on the other hand force delivery of the
payload in all paths where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6.
- Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT instead
of vmcb02->save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a save/restore
or after a #PF is injected into L2.
- Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are not
synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so are not
up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE.
- Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE and
KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly initialized after
save+restore.
- Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks.
- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields on
nested #VMEXIT.
- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or #GP for
SVM-related instructions.
- Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM).
- Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and (hopefully)
make the code easier to maintain.
- Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard against
unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined features.
- Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when emulating SVM
instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM doesn't handle size
prefix overrides for 64-bit guests.
- Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails instead of
somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double down on AMD's
architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP for "unsupported"
addresses).
- Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs.
x86 (Intel):
- Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros.
- Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
register input when appropriate.
- Code cleanups.
guest_memfd:
- Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't support
reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage to write
back to.
LoongArch selftests:
- Add KVM PMU test cases
s390 selftests:
- Enable more memory selftests.
x86 selftests:
- Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests.
- Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on AMD/Hygon
CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP.
- Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test for a
bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd folios against
KVM's will.
