S390:
* Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request
* Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
requested.
* More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same).
* Fix selftests undefined behavior.
x86:
* Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
guest CPUID. The enumeration of an architectural event only says
that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can be
programmed *using the architectural encoding*. The enumeration does
NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't report support
the event *in general*. It might support it, and it might support it
using the same encoding that made it into the architectural PMU spec.
* Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly emulates
RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other PMC-related
behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are easier to
validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka kvm-unit-tests).
* Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does not
cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM would check
if a PMC event needs to be synthesized.
* Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10% performance
improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is exposed to the
guest.
* Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if an NMI
arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit.
* Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification information
when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit code.
* Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support.
* Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock held for
read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace deletes a memslot.
* Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be 1GiB). KVM
doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a zap, and 1GiB
granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that are quite impolite
for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels.
* Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory overhead when
a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support but the workloads use
neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization.
* Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the emulator that
triggered KMSAN false positives.
* Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM.
* Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code ultimately decides
how and when to force the exit, which allowed some optimization for both
Intel and AMD.
* Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left elevated if
vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra unnecessary work.
* Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is in-kernel.
* Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere in the
kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the kernel.
x86 Xen emulation:
* Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the
gpa but the underlying host virtual address remains the same.
* When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the deadline for
Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the timer emulation.
* Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its APIC to fix
a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's behavior).
* Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ delivery of Xen
events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC IDs.
RISC-V:
* Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests
* New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)
* New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)
* Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs.
ARM:
* Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
registers
* Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
assigned devices that can tolerate it
* Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized to
address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI injection
path
* Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through the
absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register
* Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
selftests
LoongArch:
* Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG.
* Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking.
* Do not restart SW timer when it is expired.
* Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest.
* Misc cleanups and fixes as usual.
Generic:
* cleanup Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically always
true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig determines the
available depending on CPU capabilities). It is replaced either by
an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM)
everywhere else.
* Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of requiring
each architecture to specify it
* Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers.
* Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h
* Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is being
removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that there are no
workers running in KVM code when all references to KVM-the-module are gone,
i.e. to prevent a very unlikely use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded.
* Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker itself instead
of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's no need to remember
to *conditionally* clean up after the worker.
Selftests:
* Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP infrastructure.
* Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of library
support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory.
* Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files.

Core x86 changes for v6.9:
- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code,
to support the 'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature,
by Uros Bizjak:
- This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative
memory via variables declared with such attributes,
which allows the compiler to better optimize those accesses
than the previous inline assembly code.
- The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations
for various percpu access methods, plus a number of
cleanups of %gs accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for
the last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.
- Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally
working handling of FPU switching - which also generates
better code.
- Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code,
to generate slightly better code.
- Rework the CPU mitigations Kconfig space to be less idiosyncratic,
to make it easier for distros to follow & maintain these options.
- Rework the x86 idle code to cure RCU violations and
to clean up the logic.
- Clean up the vDSO Makefile logic.
- Misc cleanups and fixes.
[ Please note that there's a higher number of merge commits in
this branch (three) than is usual in x86 topic trees. This happened
due to the long testing lifecycle of the percpu changes that
involved 3 merge windows, which generated a longer history
and various interactions with other core x86 changes that we
felt better about to carry in a single branch. ]

- Add the x86 part of the SEV-SNP host support. This will allow the

Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED):
FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most of
the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:
1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved in
nested exception scenarios.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested exceptions
as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on each entry which
requires a massive effort in the low level entry of #NMI code to handle
this.
3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user which
makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs to be
especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.
4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which is a
problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a stack trace.
5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment
6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion on
large systems.
7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources
FRED addresses these shortcomings by:
1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save exception
cause registers. This ensures that the meta information for each
exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra complexity of
preserving it in software.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.
3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS BASE
handling which is required to establish kernel context for per CPU
variable access is done in hardware.
4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the return
from NMI.
5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP
6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design because it
uses a central entry points for kernel and user space and the CPUstores
the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt, syscall) on the entry stack
along with the vector number. The entry code has to demultiplex this
information, but this removes the vector space restriction.
The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.
7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.
The series implements the initial FRED support by:
- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.
- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have information
pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE
- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events
- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.
The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs. the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths like
context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the extended
stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and therefore have no
impact on IDT based systems.
It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are know outstanding problems.

x86: replace CONFIG_HAVE_KVM with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM)
It is more accurate to check if KVM is enabled, instead of having the architecture say so. Architectures always "have" KVM, so for example checking CONFIG_HAVE_KVM in x86 code is pointless, but if KVM is disabled in a specific build, there is no need for support code. Alternatively, many of the #ifdefs could simply be deleted. However, this would add completely dead code. For example, when KVM is disabled, there should not be any posted interrupts, i.e. NOT wiring up the "dummy" handlers and treating IRQs on those vectors as spurious is the right thing to do.

x86/cpufeatures: Add SEV-SNP CPU feature
Add CPU feature detection for Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Secure Nested Paging. This feature adds a strong memory integrity protection to help prevent malicious hypervisor-based attacks like data replay, memory re-mapping, and more. Since enabling the SNP CPU feature imposes a number of additional requirements on host initialization and handling legacy firmware APIs for SEV/SEV-ES guests, only introduce the CPU feature bit so that the relevant handling can be added, but leave it disabled via a disabled-features mask. Once all the necessary changes needed to maintain legacy SEV/SEV-ES support are introduced in subsequent patches, the SNP feature bit will be unmasked/enabled.

x86/cpufeatures: Add the CPU feature bit for FRED
Any FRED enabled CPU will always have the following features as its
baseline:
1) LKGS, load attributes of the GS segment but the base address into
the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR instead of the GS segment’s descriptor
cache.
2) WRMSRNS, non-serializing WRMSR for faster MSR writes.

WRMSRNS is an instruction that behaves exactly like WRMSR, with the only difference being that it is not a serializing instruction by default. Under certain conditions, WRMSRNS may replace WRMSR to improve performance. Add its CPU feature bit, opcode to the x86 opcode map, and an always inline API __wrmsrns() to embed WRMSRNS into the code.

tools headers: Update tools's copy of s390/asm headers
tldr; Just FYI, I'm carrying this on the perf tools tree.
Full explanation:
There used to be no copies, with tools/ code using kernel headers
directly. From time to time tools/perf/ broke due to legitimate kernel
hacking. At some point Linus complained about such direct usage. Then we
adopted the current model.
The way these headers are used in perf are not restricted to just
including them to compile something.
There are sometimes used in scripts that convert defines into string
tables, etc, so some change may break one of these scripts, or new MSRs
may use some different #define pattern, etc.
E.g.:
$ ls -1 tools/perf/trace/beauty/*.sh | head -5
tools/perf/trace/beauty/arch_errno_names.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/drm_ioctl.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsconfig.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsmount.sh
$
$ tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
static const char *fadvise_advices[] = {
[0] = "NORMAL",
[1] = "RANDOM",
[2] = "SEQUENTIAL",
[3] = "WILLNEED",
[4] = "DONTNEED",
[5] = "NOREUSE",
};
$
The tools/perf/check-headers.sh script, part of the tools/ build
process, points out changes in the original files.
So its important not to touch the copies in tools/ when doing changes in
the original kernel headers, that will be done later, when
check-headers.sh inform about the change to the perf tools hackers.

ARM:
* Generalized infrastructure for 'writable' ID registers, effectively
allowing userspace to opt-out of certain vCPU features for its guest
* Optimization for vSGI injection, opportunistically compressing MPIDR
to vCPU mapping into a table
* Improvements to KVM's PMU emulation, allowing userspace to select
the number of PMCs available to a VM
* Guest support for memory operation instructions (FEAT_MOPS)
* Cleanups to handling feature flags in KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT, squashing
bugs and getting rid of useless code
* Changes to the way the SMCCC filter is constructed, avoiding wasted
memory allocations when not in use
* Load the stage-2 MMU context at vcpu_load() for VHE systems, reducing
the overhead of errata mitigations
* Miscellaneous kernel and selftest fixes
LoongArch:
* New architecture. The hardware uses the same model as x86, s390
and RISC-V, where guest/host mode is orthogonal to supervisor/user
mode. The virtualization extensions are very similar to MIPS,
therefore the code also has some similarities but it's been cleaned
up to avoid some of the historical bogosities that are found in
arch/mips. The kernel emulates MMU, timer and CSR accesses, while
interrupt controllers are only emulated in userspace, at least for
now.
RISC-V:
* Support for the Smstateen and Zicond extensions
* Support for virtualizing senvcfg
* Support for virtualized SBI debug console (DBCN)
S390:
* Nested page table management can be monitored through tracepoints
and statistics
x86:
* Fix incorrect handling of VMX posted interrupt descriptor in KVM_SET_LAPIC,
which could result in a dropped timer IRQ
* Avoid WARN on systems with Intel IPI virtualization
* Add CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS, to allow supporting up to 4096 vCPUs without
forcing more common use cases to eat the extra memory overhead.
* Add virtualization support for AMD SRSO mitigation (IBPB_BRTYPE and
SBPB, aka Selective Branch Predictor Barrier).
* Fix a bug where restoring a vCPU snapshot that was taken within 1 second of
creating the original vCPU would cause KVM to try to synchronize the vCPU's
TSC and thus clobber the correct TSC being set by userspace.
* Compute guest wall clock using a single TSC read to avoid generating an
inaccurate time, e.g. if the vCPU is preempted between multiple TSC reads.
* "Virtualize" HWCR.TscFreqSel to make Linux guests happy, which complain
about a "Firmware Bug" if the bit isn't set for select F/M/S combos.
Likewise "virtualize" (ignore) MSR_AMD64_TW_CFG to appease Windows Server
2022.
* Don't apply side effects to Hyper-V's synthetic timer on writes from
userspace to fix an issue where the auto-enable behavior can trigger
spurious interrupts, i.e. do auto-enabling only for guest writes.
* Remove an unnecessary kick of all vCPUs when synchronizing the dirty log
without PML enabled.
* Advertise "support" for non-serializing FS/GS base MSR writes as appropriate.
* Harden the fast page fault path to guard against encountering an invalid
root when walking SPTEs.
* Omit "struct kvm_vcpu_xen" entirely when CONFIG_KVM_XEN=n.
* Use the fast path directly from the timer callback when delivering Xen
timer events, instead of waiting for the next iteration of the run loop.
This was not done so far because previously proposed code had races,
but now care is taken to stop the hrtimer at critical points such as
restarting the timer or saving the timer information for userspace.
* Follow the lead of upstream Xen and ignore the VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future flag.
* Optimize injection of PMU interrupts that are simultaneous with NMIs.
* Usual handful of fixes for typos and other warts.
x86 - MTRR/PAT fixes and optimizations:
* Clean up code that deals with honoring guest MTRRs when the VM has
non-coherent DMA and host MTRRs are ignored, i.e. EPT is enabled.
* Zap EPT entries when non-coherent DMA assignment stops/start to prevent
using stale entries with the wrong memtype.
* Don't ignore guest PAT for CR0.CD=1 && KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED=y.
This was done as a workaround for virtual machine BIOSes that did not
bother to clear CR0.CD (because ancient KVM/QEMU did not bother to
set it, in turn), and there's zero reason to extend the quirk to
also ignore guest PAT.
x86 - SEV fixes:
* Report KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN instead of EINVAL if KVM intercepts SHUTDOWN while
running an SEV-ES guest.
* Clean up the recognition of emulation failures on SEV guests, when KVM would
like to "skip" the instruction but it had already been partially emulated.
This makes it possible to drop a hack that second guessed the (insufficient)
information provided by the emulator, and just do the right thing.
Documentation:
* Various updates and fixes, mostly for x86
* MTRR and PAT fixes and optimizations:

- Cleanups to handling feature flags in KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT, squashing
bugs and getting rid of useless code
- Changes to the way the SMCCC filter is constructed, avoiding wasted
memory allocations when not in use
- Load the stage-2 MMU context at vcpu_load() for VHE systems,
reducing the overhead of errata mitigations
- Miscellaneous kernel and selftest fixes
LoongArch:
- New architecture for kvm.
The hardware uses the same model as x86, s390 and RISC-V, where
guest/host mode is orthogonal to supervisor/user mode. The
virtualization extensions are very similar to MIPS, therefore the
code also has some similarities but it's been cleaned up to avoid
some of the historical bogosities that are found in arch/mips. The
kernel emulates MMU, timer and CSR accesses, while interrupt
controllers are only emulated in userspace, at least for now.
RISC-V:
- Support for the Smstateen and Zicond extensions
- Support for virtualizing senvcfg
- Support for virtualized SBI debug console (DBCN)
S390:
- Nested page table management can be monitored through tracepoints
and statistics
x86:
- Fix incorrect handling of VMX posted interrupt descriptor in
KVM_SET_LAPIC, which could result in a dropped timer IRQ
- Avoid WARN on systems with Intel IPI virtualization
- Add CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS, to allow supporting up to 4096 vCPUs
without forcing more common use cases to eat the extra memory
overhead.
- Add virtualization support for AMD SRSO mitigation (IBPB_BRTYPE and
SBPB, aka Selective Branch Predictor Barrier).
- Fix a bug where restoring a vCPU snapshot that was taken within 1
second of creating the original vCPU would cause KVM to try to
synchronize the vCPU's TSC and thus clobber the correct TSC being
set by userspace.
- Compute guest wall clock using a single TSC read to avoid
generating an inaccurate time, e.g. if the vCPU is preempted
between multiple TSC reads.
- "Virtualize" HWCR.TscFreqSel to make Linux guests happy, which
complain about a "Firmware Bug" if the bit isn't set for select
F/M/S combos. Likewise "virtualize" (ignore) MSR_AMD64_TW_CFG to
appease Windows Server 2022.
- Don't apply side effects to Hyper-V's synthetic timer on writes
from userspace to fix an issue where the auto-enable behavior can
trigger spurious interrupts, i.e. do auto-enabling only for guest
writes.
- Remove an unnecessary kick of all vCPUs when synchronizing the
dirty log without PML enabled.
- Advertise "support" for non-serializing FS/GS base MSR writes as
appropriate.
- Harden the fast page fault path to guard against encountering an
invalid root when walking SPTEs.
- Omit "struct kvm_vcpu_xen" entirely when CONFIG_KVM_XEN=n.
- Use the fast path directly from the timer callback when delivering
Xen timer events, instead of waiting for the next iteration of the
run loop. This was not done so far because previously proposed code
had races, but now care is taken to stop the hrtimer at critical
points such as restarting the timer or saving the timer information
for userspace.
- Follow the lead of upstream Xen and ignore the VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future
flag.
- Optimize injection of PMU interrupts that are simultaneous with
NMIs.
- Usual handful of fixes for typos and other warts.
x86 - MTRR/PAT fixes and optimizations:
- Clean up code that deals with honoring guest MTRRs when the VM has
non-coherent DMA and host MTRRs are ignored, i.e. EPT is enabled.
- Zap EPT entries when non-coherent DMA assignment stops/start to
prevent using stale entries with the wrong memtype.
- Don't ignore guest PAT for CR0.CD=1 && KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED=y
This was done as a workaround for virtual machine BIOSes that did
not bother to clear CR0.CD (because ancient KVM/QEMU did not bother
to set it, in turn), and there's zero reason to extend the quirk to
also ignore guest PAT.
x86 - SEV fixes:
- Report KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN instead of EINVAL if KVM intercepts
SHUTDOWN while running an SEV-ES guest.
- Clean up the recognition of emulation failures on SEV guests, when
KVM would like to "skip" the instruction but it had already been
partially emulated. This makes it possible to drop a hack that
second guessed the (insufficient) information provided by the
emulator, and just do the right thing.
Documentation:
- Various updates and fixes, mostly for x86

tools headers arm64: Fix references to top srcdir in Makefile
Aishwarya reports that KVM selftests for arm64 fail with the following
error:

It would appear that this only affects builds from the top-level
Makefile (e.g. make kselftest-all), as $(srctree) is set to ".". Work
around the issue by shadowing the kselftest naming scheme for the source
tree variable.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.
