The success of a cache pseudo-locked region is measured using
performance monitoring events that are programmed directly at the time
the user requests a measurement.
Modifying the performance event registers directly is not appropriate
since it circumvents the in-kernel perf infrastructure that exists to
manage these resources and provide resource arbitration to the
performance monitoring hardware.
The cache pseudo-locking measurements are modified to use the in-kernel
perf infrastructure. Performance events are created and validated with
the appropriate perf API. The performance counters are still read as
directly as possible to avoid the additional cache hits. This is
done safely by first ensuring with the perf API that the counters have
been programmed correctly and only accessing the counters in an
interrupt disabled section where they are not able to be moved.
As part of the transition to the in-kernel perf infrastructure the L2
and L3 measurements are split into two separate measurements that can
be triggered independently. This separation prevents additional cache
misses incurred during the extra testing code used to decide if a
L2 and/or L3 measurement should be made.

A perf event has many attributes that are maintained in a separate
structure that should be provided when a new perf_event is created.
In preparation for the transition to perf_events the required attribute
structures are created for all the events that may be used in the
measurements. Most attributes for all the events are identical. The
actual configuration, what specifies what needs to be measured, is what
will be different between the events used. This configuration needs to
be done with X86_CONFIG that cannot be used as part of the designated
initializers used here, this will be introduced later.
Although they do look identical at this time the attribute structures
needs to be maintained separately since a perf_event will maintain a
pointer to its unique attributes.
In support of patch testing the new structs are given the unused attribute
until their use in later patches.

Local register variables were used in an effort to improve the
accuracy of the measurement of cache residency of a pseudo-locked
region. This was done to ensure that only the cache residency of
the memory is measured and not the cache residency of the variables
used to perform the measurement.
While local register variables do accomplish the goal they do require
significant care since different architectures have different registers
available. Local register variables also cannot be used with valuable
developer tools like KASAN.
Significant testing has shown that similar accuracy in measurement
results can be obtained by replacing local register variables with
regular local variables.
Make use of local variables in the critical code but do so with
READ_ONCE() to prevent the compiler from merging or refetching reads.
Ensure these variables are initialized before the measurement starts,
and ensure it is only the local variables that are accessed during
the measurement.
With the removal of the local register variables and using READ_ONCE()
there is no longer a motivation for using a direct wrmsr call (that
avoids the additional tracing code that may clobber the local register
variables).

perf_event_read_local() is the safest way to obtain measurements
associated with performance events. In some cases the overhead
introduced by perf_event_read_local() affects the measurements and the
use of rdpmcl() is needed. rdpmcl() requires the index
of the performance counter used so a helper is introduced to determine
the index used by a provided performance event.
The index used by a performance event may change when interrupts are
enabled. A check is added to ensure that the index is only accessed
with interrupts disabled. Even with this check the use of this counter
needs to be done with care to ensure it is queried and used within the
same disabled interrupts section.
This change introduces a new checkpatch warning:
CHECK: extern prototypes should be avoided in .h files
+extern int x86_perf_rdpmc_index(struct perf_event *event);
This warning was discussed and designated as a false positive in

We met a kernel panic when enabling earlycon, which is due to the fixmap
address of earlycon is not statically setup.
Currently the static fixmap setup in head_64.S only covers 2M virtual

kernel configurations, e.g. when VSYSCALL emulation is disabled.
So increase the static space to 4M for now by defining FIXMAP_PMD_NUM to 2,

In case L1 do not intercept L2 HLT or enter L2 in HLT activity-state,
it is possible for a vCPU to be blocked while it is in guest-mode.
According to Intel SDM 26.6.5 Interrupt-Window Exiting and
Virtual-Interrupt Delivery: "These events wake the logical processor
if it just entered the HLT state because of a VM entry".
Therefore, if L1 enters L2 in HLT activity-state and L2 has a pending
deliverable interrupt in vmcs12->guest_intr_status.RVI, then the vCPU
should be waken from the HLT state and injected with the interrupt.
In addition, if while the vCPU is blocked (while it is in guest-mode),
it receives a nested posted-interrupt, then the vCPU should also be
waken and injected with the posted interrupt.
To handle these cases, this patch enhances kvm_vcpu_has_events() to also
check if there is a pending interrupt in L2 virtual APICv provided by
L1. That is, it evaluates if there is a pending virtual interrupt for L2
by checking RVI[7:4] > VPPR[7:4] as specified in Intel SDM 29.2.1
Evaluation of Pending Interrupts.
Note that this also handles the case of nested posted-interrupt by the
fact RVI is updated in vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt() which is
called from kvm_vcpu_check_block() -> kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() ->
kvm_vcpu_running() -> vmx_check_nested_events() ->

A VMX preemption timer value of '0' is guaranteed to cause a VMExit
prior to the CPU executing any instructions in the guest. Use the
preemption timer (if it's supported) to trigger immediate VMExit
in place of the current method of sending a self-IPI. This ensures
that pending VMExit injection to L1 occurs prior to executing any
instructions in the guest (regardless of nesting level).
When deferring VMExit injection, KVM generates an immediate VMExit
from the (possibly nested) guest by sending itself an IPI. Because
hardware interrupts are blocked prior to VMEnter and are unblocked
(in hardware) after VMEnter, this results in taking a VMExit(INTR)
before any guest instruction is executed. But, as this approach
relies on the IPI being received before VMEnter executes, it only
works as intended when KVM is running as L0. Because there are no
architectural guarantees regarding when IPIs are delivered, when
running nested the INTR may "arrive" long after L2 is running e.g.
L0 KVM doesn't force an immediate switch to L1 to deliver an INTR.
For the most part, this unintended delay is not an issue since the
events being injected to L1 also do not have architectural guarantees
regarding their timing. The notable exception is the VMX preemption
timer[1], which is architecturally guaranteed to cause a VMExit prior
to executing any instructions in the guest if the timer value is '0'
at VMEnter. Specifically, the delay in injecting the VMExit causes
the preemption timer KVM unit test to fail when run in a nested guest.
Note: this approach is viable even on CPUs with a broken preemption
timer, as broken in this context only means the timer counts at the
wrong rate. There are no known errata affecting timer value of '0'.
[1] I/O SMIs also have guarantees on when they arrive, but I have
no idea if/how those are emulated in KVM.

A VMX preemption timer value of '0' at the time of VMEnter is
architecturally guaranteed to cause a VMExit prior to the CPU
executing any instructions in the guest. This architectural
definition is in place to ensure that a previously expired timer
is correctly recognized by the CPU as it is possible for the timer
to reach zero and not trigger a VMexit due to a higher priority
VMExit being signalled instead, e.g. a pending #DB that morphs into
a VMExit.
Whether by design or coincidence, commit f4124500c2 ("KVM: nVMX:
Fully emulate preemption timer") special cased timer values of '0'
and '1' to ensure prompt delivery of the VMExit. Unlike '0', a
timer value of '1' has no has no architectural guarantees regarding
when it is delivered.
Modify the timer emulation to trigger immediate VMExit if and only
if the timer value is '0', and document precisely why '0' is special.
Do this even if calibration of the virtual TSC failed, i.e. VMExit
will occur immediately regardless of the frequency of the timer.
Making only '0' a special case gives KVM leeway to be more aggressive
in ensuring the VMExit is injected prior to executing instructions in
the nested guest, and also eliminates any ambiguity as to why '1' is
a special case, e.g. why wasn't the threshold for a "short timeout"
set to 10, 100, 1000, etc...

When VMX is used with flexpriority disabled (because of no support or
if disabled with module parameter) MMIO interface to lAPIC is still
available in x2APIC mode while it shouldn't be (kvm-unit-tests):
PASS: apic_disable: Local apic enabled in x2APIC mode
PASS: apic_disable: CPUID.1H:EDX.APIC[bit 9] is set
FAIL: apic_disable: *0xfee00030: 50014
The issue appears because we basically do nothing while switching to
x2APIC mode when APIC access page is not used. apic_mmio_{read,write}
only check if lAPIC is disabled before proceeding to actual write.
When APIC access is virtualized we correctly manipulate with VMX controls
in vmx_set_virtual_apic_mode() and we don't get vmexits from memory writes
in x2APIC mode so there's no issue.
Disabling MMIO interface seems to be easy. The question is: what do we
do with these reads and writes? If we add apic_x2apic_mode() check to
apic_mmio_in_range() and return -EOPNOTSUPP these reads and writes will
go to userspace. When lAPIC is in kernel, Qemu uses this interface to
inject MSIs only (see kvm_apic_mem_write() in hw/i386/kvm/apic.c). This
somehow works with disabled lAPIC but when we're in xAPIC mode we will
get a real injected MSI from every write to lAPIC. Not good.
The simplest solution seems to be to just ignore writes to the region
and return ~0 for all reads when we're in x2APIC mode. This is what this
patch does. However, this approach is inconsistent with what currently
happens when flexpriority is enabled: we allocate APIC access page and
create KVM memory region so in x2APIC modes all reads and writes go to
this pre-allocated page which is, btw, the same for all vCPUs.

In order to determine a sane default cache allocation for a new CAT/CDP
resource group, all resource groups are checked to determine which cache
portions are available to share. At this time all possible CLOSIDs
that can be supported by the resource is checked. This is problematic
if the resource supports more CLOSIDs than another CAT/CDP resource. In
this case, the number of CLOSIDs that could be allocated are fewer than
the number of CLOSIDs that can be supported by the resource.
Limit the check of closids to that what is supported by the system based
on the minimum across all resources.

It is possible for a resource group to consist out of MBA as well as
CAT/CDP resources. The "exclusive" resource mode only applies to the
CAT/CDP resources since MBA allocations cannot be specified to overlap
or not. When a user requests a resource group to become "exclusive" then it
can only be successful if there are CAT/CDP resources in the group
and none of their CBMs associated with the group's CLOSID overlaps with
any other resource group.
Fix the "exclusive" mode setting by failing if there isn't any CAT/CDP
resource in the group and ensuring that the CBM checking is only done on
CAT/CDP resources.

A loop is used to check if a CAT resource's CBM of one CLOSID
overlaps with the CBM of another CLOSID of the same resource. The loop
is run over all CLOSIDs supported by the resource.
The problem with running the loop over all CLOSIDs supported by the
resource is that its number of supported CLOSIDs may be more than the
number of supported CLOSIDs on the system, which is the minimum number of
CLOSIDs supported across all resources.
Fix the loop to only consider the number of system supported CLOSIDs,
not all that are supported by the resource.

When multiple resources are managed by RDT, the number of CLOSIDs used
is the minimum of the CLOSIDs supported by each resource. In the function
rdt_bit_usage_show(), the annotated bitmask is created to depict how the
CAT supporting caches are being used. During this annotated bitmask
creation, each resource group is queried for its mode that is used as a
label in the annotated bitmask.
The maximum number of resource groups is currently assumed to be the
number of CLOSIDs supported by the resource for which the information is
being displayed. This is incorrect since the number of active CLOSIDs is
the minimum across all resources.
If information for a cache instance with more CLOSIDs than another is
being generated we thus encounter a warning like:
invalid mode for closid 8

Each resource is associated with a parsing callback to parse the data
provided from user space when writing schemata file.
The 'data' parameter in the callbacks is defined as a void pointer which
is error prone due to lack of type check.
parse_bw() processes the 'data' parameter as a string while its caller
actually passes the parameter as a pointer to struct rdt_cbm_parse_data.
Thus, parse_bw() takes wrong data and causes failure of parsing MBA
throttle value.
To fix the issue, the 'data' parameter in all parsing callbacks is defined
and handled as a pointer to struct rdt_parse_data (renamed from struct
rdt_cbm_parse_data).

The recent removal of the memblock dependency from kvmclock caused a SEV
guest regression because the wall_clock and hv_clock_boot variables are
no longer mapped decrypted when SEV is active.
Use the __bss_decrypted attribute to put the static wall_clock and
hv_clock_boot in the .bss..decrypted section so that they are mapped
decrypted during boot.
In the preparatory stage of CPU hotplug, the per-cpu pvclock data pointer
assigns either an element of the static array or dynamically allocated
memory for the pvclock data pointer. The static array are now mapped
decrypted but the dynamically allocated memory is not mapped decrypted.
However, when SEV is active this memory range must be mapped decrypted.
Add a function which is called after the page allocator is up, and
allocate memory for the pvclock data pointers for the all possible cpus.
Map this memory range as decrypted when SEV is active.

kvmclock defines few static variables which are shared with the
hypervisor during the kvmclock initialization.
When SEV is active, memory is encrypted with a guest-specific key, and
if the guest OS wants to share the memory region with the hypervisor
then it must clear the C-bit before sharing it.
Currently, we use kernel_physical_mapping_init() to split large pages
before clearing the C-bit on shared pages. But it fails when called from
the kvmclock initialization (mainly because the memblock allocator is
not ready that early during boot).
Add a __bss_decrypted section attribute which can be used when defining
such shared variable. The so-defined variables will be placed in the
.bss..decrypted section. This section will be mapped with C=0 early
during boot.
The .bss..decrypted section has a big chunk of memory that may be unused
when memory encryption is not active, free it when memory encryption is
not active.

This reverts commit 1f40a46cf4.
It turned out that this patch is not sufficient to enable PTI on 32 bit
systems with legacy 2-level page-tables. In this paging mode the huge-page
PTEs are in the top-level page-table directory, where also the mirroring to
the user-space page-table happens. So every huge PTE exits twice, in the
kernel and in the user page-table.
That means that accessed/dirty bits need to be fetched from two PTEs in
this mode to be safe, but this is not trivial to implement because it needs
changes to generic code just for the sake of enabling PTI with 32-bit
legacy paging. As all systems that need PTI should support PAE anyway,
remove support for PTI when 32-bit legacy paging is used.

Commit eeb89e2bb1 ("x86/efi: Load fixmap GDT in efi_call_phys_epilog()")
moved loading the fixmap in efi_call_phys_epilog() after load_cr3() since
it was assumed to be more logical.
Turns out this is incorrect: In efi_call_phys_prolog(), the gdt with its
physical address is loaded first, and when the %cr3 is reloaded in _epilog
from initial_page_table to swapper_pg_dir again the gdt is no longer
mapped. This results in a triple fault if an interrupt occurs after
load_cr3() and before load_fixmap_gdt(0). Calling load_fixmap_gdt(0) first
restores the execution order prior to commit eeb89e2bb1 and fixes the
problem.

IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES[5:0] indicates the format of the address that is

its format. Despite that, registers containing FROM address of the branch,
do have MISPREDICT bit but because of the format indicated in
IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES[5:0], LBR did not read MISPREDICT bit.
Solution:
Teach LBR about above Knights Landing quirk and make it read MISPREDICT bit.

When page-table entries are set, the compiler might optimize their
assignment by using multiple instructions to set the PTE. This might
turn into a security hazard if the user somehow manages to use the
interim PTE. L1TF does not make our lives easier, making even an interim
non-present PTE a security hazard.
Using WRITE_ONCE() to set PTEs and friends should prevent this potential
security hazard.
I skimmed the differences in the binary with and without this patch. The
differences are (obviously) greater when CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n as more
code optimizations are possible. For better and worse, the impact on the
binary with this patch is pretty small. Skimming the code did not cause
anything to jump out as a security hazard, but it seems that at least
move_soft_dirty_pte() caused set_pte_at() to use multiple writes.
