x86:
* Rework almost all of KVM x86's exports to expose symbols only to KVM's
vendor modules, i.e. to kvm-{amd,intel}.ko.
* Add support for virtualizing Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) on
Intel (Shadow Stacks and Indirect Branch Tracking) and AMD (Shadow Stacks).
It's worth noting that while SHSTK and IBT can be enabled separately in CPUID,
it is not really possible to virtualize them separately. Therefore, Intel
processors will really allow both SHSTK and IBT under the hood if either is
made visible in the guest's CPUID. The alternative would be to intercept
XSAVES/XRSTORS, which is not feasible for performance reasons.
* Fix a variety of fuzzing WARNs all caused by checking L1 intercepts when
completing userspace I/O. KVM has already committed to allowing L2 to
to perform I/O at that point.
* Emulate PERF_CNTR_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET for PerfMonV2 guests, as the MSR is
supposed to exist for v2 PMUs.
* Allow Centaur CPU leaves (base 0xC000_0000) for Zhaoxin CPUs.
* Add support for the immediate forms of RDMSR and WRMSRNS, sans full
emulator support (KVM should never need to emulate the MSRs outside of
forced emulation and other contrived testing scenarios).
* Clean up the MSR APIs in preparation for CET and FRED virtualization, as
well as mediated vPMU support.
* Clean up a pile of PMU code in anticipation of adding support for mediated
vPMUs.
* Reject in-kernel IOAPIC/PIT for TDX VMs, as KVM can't obtain EOI vmexits
needed to faithfully emulate an I/O APIC for such guests.
* Many cleanups and minor fixes.
* Recover possible NX huge pages within the TDP MMU under read lock to
reduce guest jitter when restoring NX huge pages.
* Return -EAGAIN during prefault if userspace concurrently deletes/moves the
relevant memslot, to fix an issue where prefaulting could deadlock with the
memslot update.
x86 (AMD):
* Enable AVIC by default for Zen4+ if x2AVIC (and other prereqs) is supported.
* Require a minimum GHCB version of 2 when starting SEV-SNP guests via
KVM_SEV_INIT2 so that invalid GHCB versions result in immediate errors
instead of latent guest failures.
* Add support for SEV-SNP's CipherText Hiding, an opt-in feature that prevents
unauthorized CPU accesses from reading the ciphertext of SNP guest private
memory, e.g. to attempt an offline attack. This feature splits the shared
SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space into separate ranges for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests,
therefore a new module parameter is needed to control the number of ASIDs
that can be used for VMs with CipherText Hiding vs. how many can be used to
run SEV-ES guests.
* Add support for Secure TSC for SEV-SNP guests, which prevents the untrusted
host from tampering with the guest's TSC frequency, while still allowing the
the VMM to configure the guest's TSC frequency prior to launch.
* Validate the XCR0 provided by the guest (via the GHCB) to avoid bugs
resulting from bogus XCR0 values.
* Save an SEV guest's policy if and only if LAUNCH_START fully succeeds to
avoid leaving behind stale state (thankfully not consumed in KVM).
* Explicitly reject non-positive effective lengths during SNP's LAUNCH_UPDATE
instead of subtly relying on guest_memfd to deal with them.
* Reload the pre-VMRUN TSC_AUX on #VMEXIT for SEV-ES guests, not the host's
desired TSC_AUX, to fix a bug where KVM was keeping a different vCPU's
TSC_AUX in the host MSR until return to userspace.
KVM (Intel):
* Preparation for FRED support.
* Don't retry in TDX's anti-zero-step mitigation if the target memslot is
invalid, i.e. is being deleted or moved, to fix a deadlock scenario similar
to the aforementioned prefaulting case.

Before this, the memory encryption hardware (which doesn't respect

removes the limitation.

* Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory for VM
types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE (which isn't
precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have
no way to detect private vs. shared).
This lays the groundwork for removal of guest memory from the kernel direct
map, as well as for limited mmap() for guest_memfd-backed memory.
For more information see:

(mmap support)
ARM:
* Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM,
allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload.
* Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the
privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised
data.
* Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU
synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker.
* Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2
payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This will
hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups.
* Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use
of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing
to translate a stage-1 walk.
* Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring
feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform.
* Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug
in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at
least correct.
* Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and
give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then allows
a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host
migration.
* Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to
transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling
NV testing.
* Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE
fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.
LoongArch:
* Detect page table walk feature on new hardware
* Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation
* Improve in-kernel IPI emulation
* Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation
* Move kvm_iocsr tracepoint out of generic code
RISC-V:
* Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned delegation and
pointer masking PMLEN features
* Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension
* Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM
* Enabled more common KVM selftests for RISC-V
* Added SBI v3.0 PMU enhancements in KVM and perf driver
s390:
* Improve interrupt cpu for wakeup, in particular the heuristic to decide
which vCPU to deliver a floating interrupt to.
* Clear the PTE when discarding a swapped page because of CMMA; this
bug was introduced in 6.16 when refactoring gmap code.
x86 selftests:
* Add #DE coverage in the fastops test (the only exception that's guest-
triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions).
* Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR), Sierra
Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF).
* Minor cleanups and improvements
x86 (guest side):
* For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when
overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI auto-mapping
could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers from mapping their
devices with UC/UC-.
* Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its
export.
* Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated vCPU=>pCPU
bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.
Generic:
* Remove a redundant __GFP_NOWARN from kvm_setup_async_pf() as __GFP_NOWARN is
now included in GFP_NOWAIT.

separately. They have two not complex but relatively unusual conflicts
so I will wait for other dust to settle.
guest_memfd:
- Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory
for VM types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE
(which isn't precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's
SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have no way to detect private vs. shared).
This lays the groundwork for removal of guest memory from the
kernel direct map, as well as for limited mmap() for
guest_memfd-backed memory.
For more information see:
- commit a6ad54137a ("Merge branch 'guest-memfd-mmap' into HEAD")
- guest_memfd in Firecracker:
https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/tree/feature/secret-hiding
- direct map removal:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250221160728.1584559-1-roypat@amazon.co.uk/
- mmap support:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250328153133.3504118-1-tabba@google.com/
ARM:
- Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM,
allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload.
- Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the
privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised
data.
- Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU
synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker.
- Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2
payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This
will hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups.
- Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use
of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing
to translate a stage-1 walk.
- Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring
feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform.
- Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug
in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at
least correct.
- Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and
give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then
allows a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host
migration.
- Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to
transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling
NV testing.
- Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE
fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.
LoongArch:
- Detect page table walk feature on new hardware
- Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation
- Improve in-kernel IPI emulation
- Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation
- Move kvm_iocsr tracepoint out of generic code
RISC-V:
- Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned delegation
and pointer masking PMLEN features
- Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension
- Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM
- Enabled more common KVM selftests for RISC-V
- Added SBI v3.0 PMU enhancements in KVM and perf driver
s390:
- Improve interrupt cpu for wakeup, in particular the heuristic to
decide which vCPU to deliver a floating interrupt to.
- Clear the PTE when discarding a swapped page because of CMMA; this
bug was introduced in 6.16 when refactoring gmap code.
x86 selftests:
- Add #DE coverage in the fastops test (the only exception that's
guest- triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions).
- Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR),
Sierra Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF).
- Minor cleanups and improvements
x86 (guest side):
- For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when
overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI
auto-mapping could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers
from mapping their devices with UC/UC-.
- Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its
export.
- Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated
vCPU=>pCPU bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.
Generic:
- Remove a redundant __GFP_NOWARN from kvm_setup_async_pf() as
__GFP_NOWARN is now included in GFP_NOWAIT.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
- NVMe pull request via Keith:
- FC target fixes (Daniel)
- Authentication fixes and updates (Martin, Chris)
- Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
- Target lockdep assertions (Max)
- Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
- Suspend quirk (Georg)
- MD pull request via Yu:
- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.
- Switch ->getgeo() and ->bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
than struct block_device.
- Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.
The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
`kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
to support the same use as the removed logic.
- floppy arch cleanups
- Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands
- Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
setups.
- A few s390 dasd block fixes
- Fix a few issues around atomic writes
- Improve DMA interation for integrity requests
- Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
constraints.
We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
only the request as a whole needs to.
- Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
payloads
- Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate
- Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections
- Fix ordering of recursively submitted IOs
- Clean up and improve updating nr_requests for a live device
- Various fixes and cleanups

All architectures define the same set of generic TIF bits. This makes it
pointlessly hard to add a new generic TIF bit or to change an existing one.
Provide a generic variant and convert the architectures which utilize the
generic entry code over to use it. The TIF space is divided into 16 generic
bits and 16 architecture specific bits, which turned out to provide enough
space on both sides.

- Add guest support for AMD's Secure AVIC feature which gives encrypted
guests the needed protection against a malicious hypervisor generating
unexpected interrupts and injecting them into such guest, thus
interfering with its operation in an unexpected and negative manner.
The advantage of this scheme is that the guest determines which
interrupts and when to accept them vs leaving that to the benevolence
(or not) of the hypervisor
- Strictly separate the startup code from the rest of the kernel where
former is executed from the initial 1:1 mapping of memory. The problem
was that the toolchain-generated version of the code was being
executed from a different mapping of memory than what was "assumed"
during code generation, needing an ever-growing pile of fixups for
absolute memory references which are invalid in the early, 1:1 memory
mapping during boot.
The major advantage of this is that there's no need to check the 1:1
mapping portion of the code for absolute relocations anymore and get
rid of the RIP_REL_REF() macro sprinkling all over the place.

Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM
submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM-
internal usage only.
Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal
exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external
usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and
VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file).
Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro
to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports
for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

Add support for virtualizing Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) on
Intel (Shadow Stacks and Indirect Branch Tracking) and AMD (Shadow Stacks).
CET is comprised of two distinct features, Shadow Stacks (SHSTK) and Indirect
Branch Tracking (IBT), that can be utilized by software to help provide
Control-flow integrity (CFI). SHSTK defends against backward-edge attacks
(a.k.a. Return-oriented programming (ROP)), while IBT defends against
forward-edge attacks (a.k.a. similarly CALL/JMP-oriented programming (COP/JOP)).
Attackers commonly use ROP and COP/JOP methodologies to redirect the control-
flow to unauthorized targets in order to execute small snippets of code,
a.k.a. gadgets, of the attackers choice. By chaining together several gadgets,
an attacker can perform arbitrary operations and circumvent the system's
defenses.
SHSTK defends against backward-edge attacks, which execute gadgets by modifying
the stack to branch to the attacker's target via RET, by providing a second
stack that is used exclusively to track control transfer operations. The
shadow stack is separate from the data/normal stack, and can be enabled
independently in user and kernel mode.
When SHSTK is is enabled, CALL instructions push the return address on both the
data and shadow stack. RET then pops the return address from both stacks and
compares the addresses. If the return addresses from the two stacks do not
match, the CPU generates a Control Protection (#CP) exception.
IBT defends against backward-edge attacks, which branch to gadgets by executing
indirect CALL and JMP instructions with attacker controlled register or memory
state, by requiring the target of indirect branches to start with a special
marker instruction, ENDBRANCH. If an indirect branch is executed and the next
instruction is not an ENDBRANCH, the CPU generates a #CP. Note, ENDBRANCH
behaves as a NOP if IBT is disabled or unsupported.
From a virtualization perspective, CET presents several problems. While SHSTK
and IBT have two layers of enabling, a global control in the form of a CR4 bit,
and a per-feature control in user and kernel (supervisor) MSRs (U_CET and S_CET
respectively), the {S,U}_CET MSRs can be context switched via XSAVES/XRSTORS.
Practically speaking, intercepting and emulating XSAVES/XRSTORS is not a viable
option due to complexity, and outright disallowing use of XSTATE to context
switch SHSTK/IBT state would render the features unusable to most guests.
To limit the overall complexity without sacrificing performance or usability,
simply ignore the potential virtualization hole, but ensure that all paths in
KVM treat SHSTK/IBT as usable by the guest if the feature is supported in
hardware, and the guest has access to at least one of SHSTK or IBT. I.e. allow
userspace to advertise one of SHSTK or IBT if both are supported in hardware,
even though doing so would allow a misbehaving guest to use the unadvertised
feature.
Fully emulating SHSTK and IBT would also require significant complexity, e.g.
to track and update branch state for IBT, and shadow stack state for SHSTK.
Given that emulating large swaths of the guest code stream isn't necessary on
modern CPUs, punt on emulating instructions that meaningful impact or consume
SHSTK or IBT. However, instead of doing nothing, explicitly reject emulation
of such instructions so that KVM's emulator can't be abused to circumvent CET.
Disable support for SHSTK and IBT if KVM is configured such that emulation of
arbitrary guest instructions may be required, specifically if Unrestricted
Guest (Intel only) is disabled, or if KVM will emulate a guest.MAXPHYADDR that
is smaller than host.MAXPHYADDR.
Lastly disable SHSTK support if shadow paging is enabled, as the protections
for the shadow stack are novel (shadow stacks require Writable=0,Dirty=1, so
that they can't be directly modified by software), i.e. would require
non-trivial support in the Shadow MMU.
Note, AMD CPUs currently only support SHSTK. Explicitly disable IBT support
so that KVM doesn't over-advertise if AMD CPUs add IBT, and virtualizing IBT
in SVM requires KVM modifications.

- Add support for the immediate forms of RDMSR and WRMSRNS, sans full

- Require a minimum GHCB version of 2 when starting SEV-SNP guests via
KVM_SEV_INIT2 so that invalid GHCB versions result in immediate errors
instead of latent guest failures.
- Add support for Secure TSC for SEV-SNP guests, which prevents the untrusted
host from tampering with the guest's TSC frequency, while still allowing the
the VMM to configure the guest's TSC frequency prior to launch.
- Mitigate the potential for TOCTOU bugs when accessing GHCB fields by
wrapping all accesses via READ_ONCE().
- Validate the XCR0 provided by the guest (via the GHCB) to avoid tracking a
bogous XCR0 value in KVM's software model.
- Save an SEV guest's policy if and only if LAUNCH_START fully succeeds to
avoid leaving behind stale state (thankfully not consumed in KVM).
- Explicitly reject non-positive effective lengths during SNP's LAUNCH_UPDATE

KVM SVM changes for 6.18
- Require a minimum GHCB version of 2 when starting SEV-SNP guests via
KVM_SEV_INIT2 so that invalid GHCB versions result in immediate errors
instead of latent guest failures.
- Add support for Secure TSC for SEV-SNP guests, which prevents the untrusted
host from tampering with the guest's TSC frequency, while still allowing the
the VMM to configure the guest's TSC frequency prior to launch.
- Mitigate the potential for TOCTOU bugs when accessing GHCB fields by
wrapping all accesses via READ_ONCE().
- Validate the XCR0 provided by the guest (via the GHCB) to avoid tracking a
bogous XCR0 value in KVM's software model.
- Save an SEV guest's policy if and only if LAUNCH_START fully succeeds to
avoid leaving behind stale state (thankfully not consumed in KVM).
- Explicitly reject non-positive effective lengths during SNP's LAUNCH_UPDATE
instead of subtly relying on guest_memfd to do the "heavy" lifting.

- Enable AVIC by default for Zen4+ if x2AVIC (and other prereqs) is supported,
and clean up the AVIC initialization code along the way.
- Recover possible NX huge pages within the TDP MMU under read lock to
reduce guest jitter when restoring NX huge pages.
- Return -EAGAIN during prefault if userspace concurrently deletes/moves the
relevant memslot to fix an issue where prefaulting could deadlock with the
memslot update.
- Don't retry in TDX's anti-zero-step mitigation if the target memslot is

Add support for the LOAD_CET_STATE VM-Enter and VM-Exit controls, the
CET XFEATURE bits in XSS, and advertise support for IBT and SHSTK to
userspace. Explicitly clear IBT and SHSTK onn SVM, as additional work is
needed to enable CET on SVM, e.g. to context switch S_CET and other state.
Disable KVM CET feature if unrestricted_guest is unsupported/disabled as
KVM does not support emulating CET, as running without Unrestricted Guest
can result in KVM emulating large swaths of guest code. While it's highly
unlikely any guest will trigger emulation while also utilizing IBT or
SHSTK, there's zero reason to allow CET without Unrestricted Guest as that
combination should only be possible when explicitly disabling
unrestricted_guest for testing purposes.
Disable CET if VMX_BASIC[bit56] == 0, i.e. if hardware strictly enforces
the presence of an Error Code based on exception vector, as attempting to
inject a #CP with an Error Code (#CP architecturally has an Error Code)
will fail due to the #CP vector historically not having an Error Code.
Clear S_CET and SSP-related VMCS on "reset" to emulate the architectural
of CET MSRs and SSP being reset to 0 after RESET, power-up and INIT. Note,
KVM already clears guest CET state that is managed via XSTATE in
kvm_xstate_reset().

Drop X86_CR4_CET from CR4_RESERVED_BITS and instead mark CET as reserved
if and only if IBT *and* SHSTK are unsupported, i.e. allow CR4.CET to be
set if IBT or SHSTK is supported. This creates a virtualization hole if
the CPU supports both IBT and SHSTK, but the kernel or vCPU model only
supports one of the features. However, it's entirely legal for a CPU to
have only one of IBT or SHSTK, i.e. the hole is a flaw in the architecture,
not in KVM.
More importantly, so long as KVM is careful to initialize and context
switch both IBT and SHSTK state (when supported in hardware) if either
feature is exposed to the guest, a misbehaving guest can only harm itself.
E.g. VMX initializes host CET VMCS fields based solely on hardware
capabilities.

Add PFERR_SS_MASK, a.k.a. Shadow Stack access, and WARN if KVM attempts to
check permissions for a Shadow Stack access as KVM hasn't been taught to
understand the magic Writable=0,Dirty=1 combination that is required for
Shadow Stack accesses, and likely will never learn. There are no plans to
support Shadow Stacks with the Shadow MMU, and the emulator rejects all
instructions that affect Shadow Stacks, i.e. it should be impossible for
KVM to observe a #PF due to a shadow stack access.

Add a KVM-defined ONE_REG register, KVM_REG_GUEST_SSP, to let userspace
save and restore the guest's Shadow Stack Pointer (SSP). On both Intel
and AMD, SSP is a hardware register that can only be accessed by software
via dedicated ISA (e.g. RDSSP) or via VMCS/VMCB fields (used by hardware
to context switch SSP at entry/exit). As a result, SSP doesn't fit in
any of KVM's existing interfaces for saving/restoring state.
Internally, treat SSP as a fake/synthetic MSR, as the semantics of writes
to SSP follow that of several other Shadow Stack MSRs, e.g. the PLx_SSP
MSRs. Use a translation layer to hide the KVM-internal MSR index so that
the arbitrary index doesn't become ABI, e.g. so that KVM can rework its
implementation as needed, so long as the ONE_REG ABI is maintained.
Explicitly reject accesses to SSP if the vCPU doesn't have Shadow Stack
support to avoid running afoul of ignore_msrs, which unfortunately applies
to host-initiated accesses (which is a discussion for another day). I.e.
ensure consistent behavior for KVM-defined registers irrespective of
ignore_msrs.

Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) is a kind of CPU feature used
to prevent Return/CALL/Jump-Oriented Programming (ROP/COP/JOP) attacks.
It provides two sub-features(SHSTK,IBT) to defend against ROP/COP/JOP
style control-flow subversion attacks.
Shadow Stack (SHSTK):
A shadow stack is a second stack used exclusively for control transfer
operations. The shadow stack is separate from the data/normal stack and
can be enabled individually in user and kernel mode. When shadow stack
is enabled, CALL pushes the return address on both the data and shadow
stack. RET pops the return address from both stacks and compares them.
If the return addresses from the two stacks do not match, the processor
generates a #CP.
Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT):
IBT introduces instruction(ENDBRANCH)to mark valid target addresses of
indirect branches (CALL, JMP etc...). If an indirect branch is executed
and the next instruction is _not_ an ENDBRANCH, the processor generates
a #CP. These instruction behaves as a NOP on platforms that have no CET.
Several new CET MSRs are defined to support CET:
MSR_IA32_{U,S}_CET: CET settings for {user,supervisor} CET respectively.
MSR_IA32_PL{0,1,2,3}_SSP: SHSTK pointer linear address for CPL{0,1,2,3}.
MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB: Linear address of SHSTK pointer table, whose entry
is indexed by IST of interrupt gate desc.
Two XSAVES state bits are introduced for CET:
IA32_XSS:[bit 11]: Control saving/restoring user mode CET states
IA32_XSS:[bit 12]: Control saving/restoring supervisor mode CET states.
Six VMCS fields are introduced for CET:
{HOST,GUEST}_S_CET: Stores CET settings for kernel mode.
{HOST,GUEST}_SSP: Stores current active SSP.
{HOST,GUEST}_INTR_SSP_TABLE: Stores current active MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB.
On Intel platforms, two additional bits are defined in VM_EXIT and VM_ENTRY
control fields:
If VM_EXIT_LOAD_CET_STATE = 1, host CET states are loaded from following
VMCS fields at VM-Exit:
HOST_S_CET
HOST_SSP
HOST_INTR_SSP_TABLE
If VM_ENTRY_LOAD_CET_STATE = 1, guest CET states are loaded from following
VMCS fields at VM-Entry:
GUEST_S_CET
GUEST_SSP
GUEST_INTR_SSP_TABLE

Maintain per-guest valid XSS bits and check XSS validity against them
rather than against KVM capabilities. This is to prevent bits that are
supported by KVM but not supported for a guest from being set.
Opportunistically return KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED on IA32_XSS MSR accesses
if guest CPUID doesn't enumerate X86_FEATURE_XSAVES. Since
KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED takes care of host_initiated cases, drop the
host_initiated check.

Enable KVM_{G,S}ET_ONE_REG uAPIs so that userspace can access MSRs and
other non-MSR registers through them, along with support for
KVM_GET_REG_LIST to enumerate support for KVM-defined registers.
This is in preparation for allowing userspace to read/write the guest SSP
register, which is needed for the upcoming CET virtualization support.
Currently, two types of registers are supported: KVM_X86_REG_TYPE_MSR and
KVM_X86_REG_TYPE_KVM. All MSRs are in the former type; the latter type is
added for registers that lack existing KVM uAPIs to access them. The "KVM"
in the name is intended to be vague to give KVM flexibility to include
other potential registers. More precise names like "SYNTHETIC" and
"SYNTHETIC_MSR" were considered, but were deemed too confusing (e.g. can
be conflated with synthetic guest-visible MSRs) and may put KVM into a
corner (e.g. if KVM wants to change how a KVM-defined register is modeled
internally).
Enumerate only KVM-defined registers in KVM_GET_REG_LIST to avoid
duplicating KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, and so that KVM can return _only_
registers that are fully supported (KVM_GET_REG_LIST is vCPU-scoped, i.e.
can be precise, whereas KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST is system-scoped).

Merge the queue of SVM changes for 6.18 to pick up the KVM-defined GHCB
helpers so that kvm_ghcb_get_xss() can be used to virtualize CET for
SEV-ES+ guests.
In the user return MSR support, the cached value is always the hardware
value of the specific MSR. Therefore, add a helper to retrieve the
cached value, which can replace the need for RDMSR, for example, to
allow SEV-ES guests to restore the correct host hardware value without
using RDMSR.

Use __kvm_set_xcr() to propagate XCR0 changes from the GHCB to KVM's
software model in order to validate the new XCR0 against KVM's view of
the supported XCR0. Allowing garbage is thankfully mostly benign, as
kvm_load_{guest,host}_xsave_state() bail early for vCPUs with protected
state, xstate_required_size() will simply provide garbage back to the
guest, and attempting to save/restore the bad value via KVM_{G,S}ET_XCRS
will only harm the guest (setting XCR0 will fail).
However, allowing the guest to put junk into a field that KVM assumes is
valid is a CVE waiting to happen. And as a bonus, using the proper API
eliminates the ugly open coding of setting arch.cpuid_dynamic_bits_dirty.
Simply ignore bad values, as either the guest managed to get an
unsupported value into hardware, or the guest is misbehaving and providing
pure garbage. In either case, KVM can't fix the broken guest.
Note, using __kvm_set_xcr() also avoids recomputing dynamic CPUID bits
if XCR0 isn't actually changing (relatively to KVM's previous snapshot).

Christian reported that commit a430c11f40 ("intel_idle: Rescan "dead" SMT
siblings during initialization") broke the use case in which both 'nosmt'
and 'maxcpus' are on the kernel command line because it onlines primary
threads, which were offline due to the maxcpus limit.
The initially proposed fix to skip primary threads in the loop is
inconsistent. While it prevents the primary thread to be onlined, it then
onlines the corresponding hyperthread(s), which does not really make sense.
The CPU iterator in cpuhp_smt_enable() contains a check which excludes all
threads of a core, when the primary thread is offline. The default
implementation is a NOOP and therefore not effective on x86.
Implement topology_is_core_online() on x86 to address this issue. This
makes the behaviour consistent between x86 and PowerPC.

Rework the MSR_FILTER_CHANGED request into a more generic RECALC_INTERCEPTS
request, and expand the responsibilities of vendor code to recalculate all
intercepts that vary based on userspace input, e.g. instruction intercepts
that are tied to guest CPUID.
Providing a generic recalc request will allow the upcoming mediated PMU
support to trigger a recalc when PMU features, e.g. PERF_CAPABILITIES, are
set by userspace, without having to make multiple calls to/from PMU code.
As a bonus, using a request will effectively coalesce recalcs, e.g. will
reduce the number of recalcs for normal usage from 3+ to 1 (vCPU create,
set CPUID, set PERF_CAPABILITIES (Intel only), set filter).
The downside is that MSR filter changes that are done in isolation will do
a small amount of unnecessary work, but that's already a relatively slow
path, and the cost of recalculating instruction intercepts is negligible.

When leaking certain page types, such as Hypervisor Fixed (HV_FIXED)
pages, it does not make sense to dump RMP contents for the 2MB range of
the page(s) being leaked. In the case of HV_FIXED pages, this is not an
error situation where the surrounding 2MB page RMP entries can provide
debug information.
Add new __snp_leak_pages() API with dump_rmp bool parameter to support
continue adding pages to the snp_leaked_pages_list but not issue
dump_rmpentry().
Make snp_leak_pages() a wrapper for the common case which also allows
existing users to continue to dump RMP entries.

This model was added as INTEL_PANTHERCOVE_X (based on the name of the
core) with a comment that the platform name is Diamond Rapids. It was
also placed at the end of the file in a new section for family 19
processors.
This is different from previous naming as Andrew Cooper noted.
PeterZ agreed and posted a patch[1] to fix the name and move it in
sequence with other Xeon servers. But without a commit description or
sign-off the patch wasn't ever applied.
Patch updated to cover one additional use of the #define by turbostat
and to change the "Family 6" comment to also list 18 and 19 since new
models in these families are mixed in with family 6.
