KVM x86 misc changes for 6.16:
- Unify virtualization of IBRS on nested VM-Exit, and cross-vCPU IBPB, between
SVM and VMX.
- Advertise support to userspace for WRMSRNS and PREFETCHI.
- Rescan I/O APIC routes after handling EOI that needed to be intercepted due
to the old/previous routing, but not the new/current routing.
- Add a module param to control and enumerate support for device posted

- Misc cleanups.
To pick the changes from:
24ee8d9432 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Add X86_FEATURE_ZEN6")
2665281a07 ("x86/its: Add "vmexit" option to skip mitigation on some CPUs")
8754e67ad4 ("x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe indirect thunk")
159013a7ca ("x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug")
This causes these perf files to be rebuilt and brings some X86_FEATURE
that will be used when updating the copies of
tools/arch/x86/lib/mem{cpy,set}_64.S with the kernel sources:
CC /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
CC /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o
And addresses this perf build warning:

To pick up the changes from these csets:
159013a7ca ("x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug")
That cause no changes to tooling as it doesn't include a new MSR to be
captured by the tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_msr.sh script,
for instance:
$ tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_msr.sh | head

In commit 2e044911be ("x86/traps: Decode 0xEA instructions as #UD")
FineIBT starts using 0xEA as an invalid instruction like UD2. But
insn decoder always returns the length of "0xea" instruction as 7
because it does not check the (i64) superscript.
The x86 instruction decoder should also decode 0xEA on x86-64 as
a one-byte invalid instruction by decoding the "(i64)" superscript tag.
This stops decoding instruction which has (i64) but does not have (o64)
superscript in 64-bit mode at opcode and skips other fields.
With this change, insn_decoder_test says 0xea is 1 byte length if
x86-64 (-y option means 64-bit):
$ printf "0:\tea\t\n" | insn_decoder_test -y -v
insn_decoder_test: success: Decoded and checked 1 instructions

processors, when IBRS is set, indirect branch predictions are not
influenced by any prior indirect branches, regardless of mode (CPL
and guest/host) and regardless of whether the prior indirect branches
occurred before or after the setting of IBRS. This is referred to as
Same Mode IBRS.
Define this feature bit, which will be used by KVM to determine if an
IBPB is required on nested VM-exits in SVM.

Whack this thing because:
- the "unknown" handling is done only for this vuln and not for the
others
- it doesn't do anything besides reporting things differently. It
doesn't apply any mitigations - it is simply causing unnecessary
complications to the code which don't bring anything besides
maintenance overhead to what is already a very nasty spaghetti pile
- all the currently unaffected CPUs can also be in "unknown" status so
there's no need for special handling here
so get rid of it.

...
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h>
and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some
missing underscores.

Thus they are no longer needed and can be removed.

that cover the address range zapped by INVLPG / INVLPGB get invalidated,
rather than all intermediate mappings getting zapped at every TLB invalidation.
This can help reduce the TLB miss rate, by keeping more intermediate mappings
in the cache.
From the AMD manual:
Translation Cache Extension (TCE) Bit. Bit 15, read/write. Setting this bit to
1 changes how the INVLPG, INVLPGB, and INVPCID instructions operate on TLB
entries. When this bit is 0, these instructions remove the target PTE from the
TLB as well as all upper-level table entries that are cached in the TLB,
whether or not they are associated with the target PTE. When this bit is set,
these instructions will remove the target PTE and only those upper-level
entries that lead to the target PTE in the page table hierarchy, leaving
unrelated upper-level entries intact.

X86_FEATURE_USE_IBPB was introduced in:
2961298efe ("x86/cpufeatures: Clean up Spectre v2 related CPUID flags")
to have separate flags for when the CPU supports IBPB (i.e. X86_FEATURE_IBPB)
and when an IBPB is actually used to mitigate Spectre v2.
Ever since then, the uses of IBPB expanded. The name became confusing
because it does not control all IBPB executions in the kernel.
Furthermore, because its name is generic and it's buried within
indirect_branch_prediction_barrier(), it's easy to use it not knowing
that it is specific to Spectre v2.
X86_FEATURE_USE_IBPB is no longer needed because all the IBPB executions
it used to control are now controlled through other means (e.g.
switch_mm_*_ibpb static branches).
Remove the unused feature bit.

- Add Kan Liang to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer.
- Add support for using the 'capstone' disassembler library in various tools,
such as 'perf script' and 'perf annotate'. This is an alternative for the
use of the 'xed' and 'objdump' disassemblers.
- Data-type profiling improvements:
Resolve types for a->b->c by backtracking the assignments until it finds
DWARF info for one of those members
Support for global variables, keeping a cache to speed up lookups.
Handle the 'call' instruction, dealing with effects on registers and handling
its return when tracking register data types.
Handle x86's segment based addressing like %gs:0x28, to support things like
per CPU variables, the stack canary, etc.
Data-type profiling got big speedups when using capstone for disassembling.
The objdump outoput parsing method is left as a fallback when capstone fails or
isn't available. There are patches posted for 6.11 that to use a LLVM
disassembler.
Support event group display in the TUI when annotating types with --data-type,
for instance to show memory load and store events for the data type fields.
Optimize the 'perf annotate' data structures, reducing memory usage.
Add a initial 'perf test' for 'perf annotate', checking that a target symbol
appears on the output, specifying objdump via the command line, etc.
- Integrate the shellcheck utility with the build of perf to allow catching
shell problems early in areas such as 'perf test', 'perf trace' scrape
scripts, etc.
- Add 'uretprobe' variant in the 'perf bench uprobe' tool.
- Add script to run instances of 'perf script' in parallel.
- Allow parsing tracepoint names that start with digits, such as
9p/9p_client_req, etc. Make sure 'perf test' tests it even on systems
where those tracepoints aren't available.
Vendor Events:
- Update Intel JSON files for Cascade Lake X, Emerald Rapids, Grand Ridge, Ice
Lake X, Lunar Lake, Meteor Lake, Sapphire Rapids, Sierra Forest, Sky Lake X,
Sky Lake and Snow Ridge X. Remove info metrics erroneously in TopdownL1.
- Add AMD's Zen 5 core and uncore events and metrics. Those come from the
"Performance Monitor Counters for AMD Family 1Ah Model 00h- 0Fh Processors"
document, with events that capture information on op dispatch, execution and
retirement, branch prediction, L1 and L2 cache activity, TLB activity, etc.
- Mark L1D_CACHE_INVAL impacted by errata for ARM64's AmpereOne/AmpereOneX.
Miscellaneous:
- Sync header copies with the kernel sources.
- Move some header copies used only for generating translation string tables
for ioctl cmds and other syscall integer arguments to a new directory under
tools/perf/beauty/, to separate from copies in tools/include/ that are used
to build the tools.
- Introduce scrape script for several syscall 'flags'/'mask' arguments.
- Improve cpumap utilization, fixing up pairing of refcounts, using the right
iterators (perf_cpu_map__for_each_cpu), etc.
- Give more details about raw event encodings in 'perf list', show tracepoint
encoding in the detailed output.
- Refactor the DSOs handling code, reducing memory usage.
- Document the BPF event modifier and add a 'perf test' for it.
- Improve the event parser, better error messages and add further 'perf test's
for it.
- Add reference count checking to 'struct comm_str' and 'struct mem_info'.
- Make ARM64's 'perf test' entries for the Neoverse N1 more robust.
- Tweak the ARM64's Coresight 'perf test's.
- Improve ARM64's CoreSight ETM version detection and error reporting.
- Fix handling of symbols when using kcore.
- Fix PAI (Processor Activity Instrumentation) counter names for s390 virtual
machines in 'perf report'.
- Fix -g/--call-graph option failure in 'perf sched timehist'.
- Add LIBTRACEEVENT_DIR build option to allow building with libtraceevent
installed in non-standard directories, such as when doing cross builds.
- Various 'perf test' and 'perf bench' fixes.
- Improve 'perf probe' error message for long C++ probe names.

Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) extends the EVEX prefix to
support:
- extended general purpose registers (EGPRs) i.e. r16 to r31
- Push-Pop Acceleration (PPX) hints
- new data destination (NDD) register
- suppress status flags writes (NF) of common instructions
- new instructions
Refer to the Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) Architecture
Specification for details.
The extended EVEX prefix does not need amended instruction decoder logic,
except in one area. Some instructions are defined as SCALABLE which means
the EVEX.W bit and EVEX.pp bits are used to determine operand size.
Specifically, if an instruction is SCALABLE and EVEX.W is zero, then
EVEX.pp value 0 (representing no prefix NP) means default operand size,
whereas EVEX.pp value 1 (representing 66 prefix) means operand size
override i.e. 16 bits
Add an attribute (INAT_EVEX_SCALABLE) to identify such instructions, and
amend the logic appropriately.
Amend the awk script that generates the attribute tables from the opcode
map, to recognise "(es)" as attribute INAT_EVEX_SCALABLE.

Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) uses a new 2-byte prefix named
REX2 to select extended general purpose registers (EGPRs) i.e. r16 to r31.
The REX2 prefix is effectively an extended version of the REX prefix.
REX2 and EVEX are also used with PUSH/POP instructions to provide a
Push-Pop Acceleration (PPX) hint. With PPX hints, a CPU will attempt to
fast-forward register data between matching PUSH and POP instructions.
REX2 is valid only with opcodes in maps 0 and 1. Similar extension for
other maps is provided by the EVEX prefix, covered in a separate patch.
Some opcodes in maps 0 and 1 are reserved under REX2. One of these is used
for a new 64-bit absolute direct jump instruction JMPABS.
Refer to the Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) Architecture
Specification for details.
Define a code value for the REX2 prefix (INAT_PFX_REX2), and add attribute
flags for opcodes reserved under REX2 (INAT_NO_REX2) and to identify
opcodes (only JMPABS) that require a mandatory REX2 prefix
(INAT_REX2_VARIANT).
Amend logic to read the REX2 prefix and get the opcode attribute for the
map number (0 or 1) encoded in the REX2 prefix.
Amend the awk script that generates the attribute tables from the opcode
map, to recognise "REX2" as attribute INAT_PFX_REX2, and "(!REX2)"
as attribute INAT_NO_REX2, and "(REX2)" as attribute INAT_REX2_VARIANT.

It is used only to generate string tables, not to build perf, so move it
to the tools/perf/trace/beauty/{include,arch}/ hierarchies, that is used
just for scraping.
This is a something that should've have happened, as happened with the
linux/socket.h scrapper, do it now as Ian suggested while doing an
audit/refactor session in the headers used by perf.
No other tools/ living code uses it, just <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> coming
from either 'make install_headers' or from the system /usr/include/
directory.

* 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.
