that set bits 51:48 due to lack of 5-level paging. Guest firmware is
expected to use the information to safely remap BARs in the uppermost GPA
space, i.e to avoid placing a BAR at a legal, but unmappable, GPA.

- Don't completely ignore same-value writes to immutable feature MSRs, as
doing so results in KVM failing to reject accesses to MSR that aren't

- Don't mark APICv as being inhibited due to ABSENT if APICv is disabled
KVM-wide to avoid confusing debuggers (KVM will never bother clearing the
ABSENT inhibit, even if userspace enables in-kernel local APIC).

tracking, and a smaller vcpu structure.
- Add full handling of the ERET/ERETAA/ERETAB instructions in
nested virtualisation. The last two instructions also require
emulating part of the pointer authentication extension.
As a result, the trap handling of pointer authentication has
been greattly simplified.
- Turn the global (and not very scalable) LPI translation cache
into a per-ITS, scalable cache, making non directly injected
LPIs much cheaper to make visible to the vcpu.
- A batch of pKVM patches, mostly fixes and cleanups, as the
upstreaming process seems to be resuming. Fingers crossed!
- Allocate PPIs and SGIs outside of the vcpu structure, allowing

- Purge stale mpidr_data if a vcpu is created after the MPIDR
map has been created.

Remove kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() as it effectively has no users,
and arguably should never have been added in the first place.
Commit 54163a346d ("KVM: Introduce kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except()")
added the "except" variation for use in SVM's AVIC update path, which used
it to skip sending a request to the current vCPU (commit 7d611233b0
("KVM: SVM: Disable AVIC before setting V_IRQ")).
But the AVIC usage of kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() was essentially a
hack-a-fix that simply squashed the most likely scenario of a racy WARN
without addressing the underlying problem(s). Commit f1577ab214 ("KVM:
SVM: svm_set_vintr don't warn if AVIC is active but is about to be
deactivated") eventually fixed the WARN itself, and the "except" usage was
subsequently dropped by df63202fe5 ("KVM: x86: APICv: drop immediate
APICv disablement on current vCPU").
That kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() hasn't gained any users in the
last ~3 years isn't a coincidence. If a VM-wide broadcast *needs* to skip
the current vCPU, then odds are very good that there is underlying bug
that could be better fixed elsewhere.

A subsequent change to KVM/arm64 will necessitate walking the device
list outside of the kvm->lock. Prepare by converting to an rculist. This
has zero effect on the VM destruction path, as it is expected every
reader is backed by a reference on the kvm struct.
On the other hand, ensure a given device is completely destroyed before
dropping the kvm->lock in the release() path, as certain devices expect
to be a singleton (e.g. the vfio-kvm device).

Add support to MMU caches for initializing a page with a custom 64-bit
value, e.g. to pre-fill an entire page table with non-zero PTE values.
The functionality will be used by x86 to support Intel's TDX, which needs
to set bit 63 in all non-present PTEs in order to prevent !PRESENT page
faults from getting reflected into the guest (Intel's EPT Violation #VE
architecture made the less than brilliant decision of having the per-PTE
behavior be opt-out instead of opt-in).

The .change_pte() MMU notifier callback was intended as an
optimization. The original point of it was that KSM could tell KVM to flip
its secondary PTE to a new location without having to first zap it. At
the time there was also an .invalidate_page() callback; both of them were
*not* bracketed by calls to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}(),
and .invalidate_page() also doubled as a fallback implementation of
.change_pte().
Later on, however, both callbacks were changed to occur within an
invalidate_range_start/end() block.
In the case of .change_pte(), commit 6bdb913f0a ("mm: wrap calls to
set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end",
2012-10-09) did so to remove the fallback from .invalidate_page() to
.change_pte() and allow sleepable .invalidate_page() hooks.
This however made KVM's usage of the .change_pte() callback completely
moot, because KVM unmaps the sPTEs during .invalidate_range_start()
and therefore .change_pte() has no hope of finding a sPTE to change.
Drop the generic KVM code that dispatches to kvm_set_spte_gfn(), as
well as all the architecture specific implementations.

Explicit disallow activating a gfn_to_pfn_cache with an error gpa, i.e.
INVALID_GPA, to ensure that KVM doesn't mistake a GPA-based cache for an
HVA-based cache (KVM uses INVALID_GPA as a magic value to differentiate
between GPA-based and HVA-based caches).
WARN if KVM attempts to activate a cache with INVALID_GPA, purely so that
new caches need to at least consider what to do with a "bad" GPA, as all
existing usage of kvm_gpc_activate() guarantees gpa != INVALID_GPA. I.e.
removing the WARN in the future is completely reasonable if doing so would
yield cleaner/better code overall.

When activating a gfn_to_pfn_cache, verify that the offset+length is sane
and usable before marking the cache active. Letting __kvm_gpc_refresh()
detect the problem results in a cache being marked active without setting
the GPA (or any other fields), which in turn results in KVM trying to
refresh a cache with INVALID_GPA.
Attempting to refresh a cache with INVALID_GPA isn't functionally
problematic, but it runs afoul of the sanity check that exactly one of
GPA or userspace HVA is valid, i.e. that a cache is either GPA-based or
HVA-based.

Add a helper to check that the incoming length for a gfn_to_pfn_cache is
valid with respect to the cache's GPA and/or HVA. To avoid activating a
cache with a bogus GPA, a future fix will fork the page split check in
the inner refresh path into activate() and the public rerfresh() APIs, at
which point KVM will check the length in three separate places.
Deliberately keep the "page offset" logic open coded, as the only other
path that consumes the offset, __kvm_gpc_refresh(), already needs to
differentiate between GPA-based and HVA-based caches, and it's not obvious
that using a helper is a net positive in overall code readability.
Note, for GPA-based caches, this has a subtle side effect of using the GPA
instead of the resolved HVA in the check() path, but that should be a nop
as the HVA offset is derived from the GPA, i.e. the two offsets are
identical, barring a KVM bug.

KVM GUEST_MEMFD fixes for 6.8:
- Make KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD mutually exclusive with KVM_MEM_READONLY to
avoid creating ABI that KVM can't sanely support.
- Update documentation for KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM to make it abundantly
clear that such VMs are purely a development and testing vehicle, and
come with zero guarantees.
- Limit KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM guests to the TDP MMU, as the long term plan
is to support confidential VMs with deterministic private memory (SNP
and TDX) only in the TDP MMU.
- Fix a bug in a GUEST_MEMFD negative test that resulted in false passes
when verifying that KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD memslots can't be dirty logged.
The locking on the gfn_to_pfn_cache is... interesting. And awful.
There is a rwlock in ->lock which readers take to ensure protection
against concurrent changes. But __kvm_gpc_refresh() makes assumptions
that certain fields will not change even while it drops the write lock
and performs MM operations to revalidate the target PFN and kernel
mapping.
Commit 93984f19e7 ("KVM: Fully serialize gfn=>pfn cache refresh via
mutex") partly addressed that — not by fixing it, but by adding a new
mutex, ->refresh_lock. This prevented concurrent __kvm_gpc_refresh()
calls on a given gfn_to_pfn_cache, but is still only a partial solution.
There is still a theoretical race where __kvm_gpc_refresh() runs in
parallel with kvm_gpc_deactivate(). While __kvm_gpc_refresh() has
dropped the write lock, kvm_gpc_deactivate() clears the ->active flag
and unmaps ->khva. Then __kvm_gpc_refresh() determines that the previous
->pfn and ->khva are still valid, and reinstalls those values into the
structure. This leaves the gfn_to_pfn_cache with the ->valid bit set,
but ->active clear. And a ->khva which looks like a reasonable kernel
address but is actually unmapped.
All it takes is a subsequent reactivation to cause that ->khva to be
dereferenced. This would theoretically cause an oops which would look
something like this:
[1724749.564994] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffaa3540ace0e0
[1724749.565039] RIP: 0010:__kvm_xen_has_interrupt+0x8b/0xb0
I say "theoretically" because theoretically, that oops that was seen in
production cannot happen. The code which uses the gfn_to_pfn_cache is
supposed to have its *own* locking, to further paper over the fact that
the gfn_to_pfn_cache's own papering-over (->refresh_lock) of its own
rwlock abuse is not sufficient.
For the Xen vcpu_info that external lock is the vcpu->mutex, and for the
shared info it's kvm->arch.xen.xen_lock. Those locks ought to protect
the gfn_to_pfn_cache against concurrent deactivation vs. refresh in all
but the cases where the vcpu or kvm object is being *destroyed*, in
which case the subsequent reactivation should never happen.
Theoretically.
Nevertheless, this locking abuse is awful and should be fixed, even if
no clear explanation can be found for how the oops happened. So expand
the use of the ->refresh_lock mutex to ensure serialization of
activate/deactivate vs. refresh and make the pfncache locking entirely
self-sufficient.
This means that a future commit can simplify the locking in the callers,
such as the Xen emulation code which has an outstanding problem with
recursive locking of kvm->arch.xen.xen_lock, which will no longer be
necessary.
The rwlock abuse described above is still not best practice, although
it's harmless now that the ->refresh_lock is held for the entire duration
while the offending code drops the write lock, does some other stuff,
then takes the write lock again and assumes nothing changed. That can
also be fixed^W cleaned up in a subsequent commit, but this commit is
a simpler basis for the Xen deadlock fix mentioned above.

The general expectation with debugfs is that any initialization failure
is nonfatal. Nevertheless, kvm_arch_create_vm_debugfs() allows
implementations to return an error and kvm_create_vm_debugfs() allows
that to fail VM creation.
Change to a void return to discourage architectures from making debugfs
failures fatal for the VM. Seems like everyone already had the right
idea, as all implementations already return 0 unconditionally.

Disallow creating read-only memslots that support GUEST_MEMFD, as
GUEST_MEMFD is fundamentally incompatible with KVM's semantics for
read-only memslots. Read-only memslots allow the userspace VMM to emulate
option ROMs by filling the backing memory with readable, executable code
and data, while triggering emulated MMIO on writes. GUEST_MEMFD doesn't
currently support writes from userspace and KVM doesn't support emulated
MMIO on private accesses, i.e. the guest can only ever read zeros, and
writes will always be treated as errors.

Plumb in a dedicated hook for querying whether or not a vCPU was preempted
in-kernel. Unlike literally every other architecture, x86's VMX can check
if a vCPU is in kernel context if and only if the vCPU is loaded on the
current pCPU.
x86's kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() works around the limitation by querying
kvm_get_running_vcpu() and redirecting to vcpu->arch.preempted_in_kernel
as needed. But that's unnecessary, confusing, and fragile, e.g. x86 has
had at least one bug where KVM incorrectly used a stale
preempted_in_kernel.
No functional change intended.

When processing mmu_notifier invalidations for gpc caches, pre-check for
overlap with the invalidation event while holding gpc->lock for read, and
only take gpc->lock for write if the cache needs to be invalidated. Doing
a pre-check without taking gpc->lock for write avoids unnecessarily
contending the lock for unrelated invalidations, which is very beneficial
for caches that are heavily used (but rarely subjected to mmu_notifier
invalidations).

Some pfncache pages may actually be overlays on guest memory that have a
fixed HVA within the VMM. It's pointless to invalidate such cached
mappings if the overlay is moved so allow a cache to be activated directly
with the HVA to cater for such cases. A subsequent patch will make use
of this facility.

Currently the pfncache page offset is sometimes determined using the gpa
and sometimes the khva, whilst the uhva is always page-aligned. After a
subsequent patch is applied the gpa will not always be valid so adjust
the code to include the page offset in the uhva and use it consistently

Also, where a page-aligned address is required, use PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN()

As noted in [1] the KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN usage flag is never set by any
callers of kvm_gpc_init(), and for good reason: the implementation is
incomplete/broken. And it's not clear that there will ever be a user of
KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN, as coordinating vCPUs with mmu_notifier events is
non-trivial.
Remove KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN and all related code, e.g. dropping
KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN also makes the 'vcpu' argument redundant, to avoid
having to reason about broken code as __kvm_gpc_refresh() evolves.
Moreover, all existing callers specify KVM_HOST_USES_PFN so the usage
check in hva_to_pfn_retry() and hence the 'usage' argument to
kvm_gpc_init() are also redundant.

may or may not be available depending on CPU capabilities (MIPS)
* replace HAVE_KVM with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) for host-side code that is
not part of the KVM module, so that it is completely compiled out
* factor common "select" statements in common code instead of requiring
each architecture to specify it
CONFIG_IRQ_BYPASS_MANAGER is a dependency of the common code included by
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_BYPASS. There is no advantage in adding the corresponding

KVM uses __KVM_HAVE_* symbols in the architecture-dependent uapi/asm/kvm.h to mask
unused definitions in include/uapi/linux/kvm.h. __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM however
was nothing but a misguided attempt to define KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM only on
architectures where KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM) could possibly
return nonzero. This however does not make sense, and it prevented userspace
from supporting this architecture-independent feature without recompilation.
Therefore, these days __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM does not mask anything and
is only used in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c. Userspace does not need to test it
and there should be no need for it to exist. Remove it and replace it
with a Kconfig symbol within Linux source code.

Nullify the async #PF worker's local "apf" pointer immediately after the
point where the structure can be freed by the vCPU. The existing comment
is helpful, but easy to overlook as there is no associated code.
Update the comment to clarify that it can be freed by as soon as the lock
is dropped, as "after this point" isn't strictly accurate, nor does it
help understand what prevents the structure from being freed earlier.

Get a reference to the target VM's address space in async_pf_execute()
instead of gifting a reference from kvm_setup_async_pf(). Keeping the
address space alive just to service an async #PF is counter-productive,
i.e. if the process is exiting and all vCPUs are dead, then NOT doing
get_user_pages_remote() and freeing the address space asap is desirable.
Handling the mm reference entirely within async_pf_execute() also
simplifies the async #PF flows as a whole, e.g. it's not immediately
obvious when the worker task vs. the vCPU task is responsible for putting
the gifted mm reference.

Put the async #PF worker's reference to the VM's address space as soon as

getting a reference succeeded.
Note, if the vCPU is still alive, there is no danger of the worker getting
stuck with tearing down the host page tables, as userspace also holds a

Always flush the per-vCPU async #PF workqueue when a vCPU is clearing its
completion queue, e.g. when a VM and all its vCPUs is being destroyed.
KVM must ensure that none of its workqueue callbacks is running when the
last reference to the KVM _module_ is put. Gifting a reference to the
associated VM prevents the workqueue callback from dereferencing freed
vCPU/VM memory, but does not prevent the KVM module from being unloaded
before the callback completes.
Drop the misguided VM refcount gifting, as calling kvm_put_kvm() from
async_pf_execute() if kvm_put_kvm() flushes the async #PF workqueue will
result in deadlock. async_pf_execute() can't return until kvm_put_kvm()
finishes, and kvm_put_kvm() can't return until async_pf_execute() finishes:

If kvm_clear_async_pf_completion_queue() actually flushes the workqueue,
then there's no need to gift async_pf_execute() a reference because all
invocations of async_pf_execute() will be forced to complete before the
vCPU and its VM are destroyed/freed. And that in turn fixes the module
unloading bug as __fput() won't do module_put() on the last vCPU reference
until the vCPU has been freed, e.g. if closing the vCPU file also puts the
last reference to the KVM module.
Note that kvm_check_async_pf_completion() may also take the work item off
the completion queue and so also needs to flush the work queue, as the
work will not be seen by kvm_clear_async_pf_completion_queue(). Waiting
on the workqueue could theoretically delay a vCPU due to waiting for the
work to complete, but that's a very, very small chance, and likely a very
small delay. kvm_arch_async_page_present_queued() unconditionally makes a
new request, i.e. will effectively delay entering the guest, so the
remaining work is really just:
trace_kvm_async_pf_completed(addr, cr2_or_gpa);
__kvm_vcpu_wake_up(vcpu);
mmput(mm);
and mmput() can't drop the last reference to the page tables if the vCPU is
still alive, i.e. the vCPU won't get stuck tearing down page tables.
Add a helper to do the flushing, specifically to deal with "wakeup all"
work items, as they aren't actually work items, i.e. are never placed in a
workqueue. Trying to flush a bogus workqueue entry rightly makes
__flush_work() complain (kudos to whoever added that sanity check).
Note, commit 5f6de5cbeb ("KVM: Prevent module exit until all VMs are
freed") *tried* to fix the module refcounting issue by having VMs grab a
reference to the module, but that only made the bug slightly harder to hit
as it gave async_pf_execute() a bit more time to complete before the KVM
module could be unloaded.

When handling the end of an mmu_notifier invalidation, WARN if

end() calls are *supposed* to be paired with start(), i.e. underflow can
only happen if there is a bug elsewhere in the kernel, but due to lack of
lockdep assertions in the mmu_notifier helpers, it's all too easy for a
bug to go unnoticed for some time, e.g. see the recently introduced

Ideally, mmu_notifiers would incorporate lockdep assertions, but users of

mutally exclusive with mm_take_all_locks() isn't trivial.

- Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.
- Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all architectures.
- Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting
- New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that
creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers
to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be resized.
guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can be used to
switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular anonymous memory.
- New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify
per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the
only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via
guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP,
TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that guarantees
confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in the case of pKVM).
x86:
- Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new guest_memfd
and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly useful for testing,
since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to provide a meaningfully
reduced TCB.
- Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages during
CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.
- Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in non-leaf
TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with a non-huge SPTE.
- Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually care
about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.
- let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a stable TSC",
because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit (added to the pvclock
ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.
- Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for TLB_CONTROL.
- Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM always
flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush requests. This
allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware Workstation on top of KVM.
- Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV support.
- On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of intercepting
IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs
- Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)
- Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters and other state
prior to refreshing the vPMU model.
- Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events using a
dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous" counter. If the
hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is recognized in the same VM-Exit
that KVM manually bumps an event count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the
hardware-triggered overflow and for KVM-triggered overflow.
- Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be problematic for
subsystems that require no regressions for W=1 builds.
- Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate IA32_SPEC_CTRL
"features".
- Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the current TSC
generation, as updating the masterclock can cause kvmclock's time to "jump"
unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.
- Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter fault paths,
partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to make KVM play nice with
position independent executable builds.
- Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the code.
- Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV "emulation"
at build time.
ARM64:
- LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB
base granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
feature, although there is more to come. This comes with
a prefix branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV
support to that version of the architecture.
- A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.
Loongarch:
- Optimization for memslot hugepage checking
- Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues
- Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support
RISC-V:
- KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers
- Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list selftest
- Support for reporting steal time along with selftest
s390:
- Bugfixes
Selftests:
- Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage
instead of the magic token needed to run the test.
- Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing flag
in the Makefile.
- Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful
message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed.
- Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix the
various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation.
There are two non-KVM patches buried in the middle of guest_memfd support:
fs: Rename anon_inode_getfile_secure() and anon_inode_getfd_secure()
mm: Add AS_UNMOVABLE to mark mapping as completely unmovable
The first is small and mostly suggested-by Christian Brauner; the second
a bit less so but it was written by an mm person (Vlastimil Babka).

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Generic:
- Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.
- Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all
architectures.
- Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting
- New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that
creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers
to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be
resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can
be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular
anonymous memory.
- New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify
per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the
only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via
guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP,
TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that
guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in
the case of pKVM).
x86:
- Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new
guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly
useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to
provide a meaningfully reduced TCB.
- Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages
during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.
- Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in
non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with
a non-huge SPTE.
- Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually
care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.
- let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a
stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit
(added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.
- Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for
TLB_CONTROL.
- Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM
always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush
requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware
Workstation on top of KVM.
- Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV
support.
- On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of
intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs
- Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)
- Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters
and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model.
- Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events
using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous"
counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is
recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event
count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow
and for KVM-triggered overflow.
- Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be
problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1
builds.
- Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate
IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features".
- Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the
current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause
kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace
hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.
- Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter
fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to
make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds.
- Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the
code.
- Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV
"emulation" at build time.
ARM64:
- LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base
granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix
branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to
that version of the architecture.
- A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.
Loongarch:
- Optimization for memslot hugepage checking
- Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues
- Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support
RISC-V:
- KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers
- Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list
selftest
- Support for reporting steal time along with selftest

Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Add Jan Kara as VFS reviewer
- Show correct device and inode numbers in proc/<pid>/maps for vma
files on stacked filesystems. This is now easily doable thanks to
the backing file work from the last cycles. This comes with
selftests
Cleanups:
- Remove a redundant might_sleep() from wait_on_inode()
- Initialize pointer with NULL, not 0
- Clarify comment on access_override_creds()
- Rework and simplify eventfd_signal() and eventfd_signal_mask()
helpers
- Process aio completions in batches to avoid needless wakeups
- Completely decouple struct mnt_idmap from namespaces. We now only
keep the actual idmapping around and don't stash references to
namespaces
- Reformat maintainer entries to indicate that a given subsystem
belongs to fs/
- Simplify fput() for files that were never opened
- Get rid of various pointless file helpers
- Rename various file helpers
- Rename struct file members after SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU switch from
last cycle
- Make relatime_need_update() return bool
- Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_USER when allocating superblocks
- Replace deprecated ida_simple_*() calls with their current ida_*()
counterparts
Fixes:
- Fix comments on user namespace id mapping helpers. They aren't
kernel doc comments so they shouldn't be using /**
- s/Retuns/Returns/g in various places
- Add missing parameter documentation on can_move_mount_beneath()
- Rename i_mapping->private_data to i_mapping->i_private_data
- Fix a false-positive lockdep warning in pipe_write() for watch
queues
- Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation to improve performance
- Only notify writer that pipe resizing has finished after setting
pipe->max_usage otherwise writers are never notified that the pipe
has been resized and hang
- Fix some kernel docs in hfsplus
- s/passs/pass/g in various places
- Fix kernel docs in ntfs
- Fix kcalloc() arguments order reported by gcc 14
- Fix uninitialized value in reiserfs"
