Currently gcs_set() doesn't initialize the temporary 'user_gcs'
variable, and a SETREGSET call with a length of 0, 8, or 16 will leave
some portion of this uninitialized. Consequently some arbitrary
uninitialized values may be written back to the relevant fields in task
struct, potentially leaking up to 192 bits of memory from the kernel
stack. The read is limited to a specific slot on the stack, and the
issue does not provide a write mechanism.

As gcs_set() rejects cases where user_gcs::features_enabled has bits set
other than PR_SHADOW_STACK_SUPPORTED_STATUS_MASK, a SETREGSET call with
a length of zero will randomly succeed or fail depending on the value of
the uninitialized value, it isn't possible to leak the full 192 bits.
With a length of 8 or 16, user_gcs::features_enabled can be initialized
to an accepted value, making it practical to leak 128 or 64 bits.

Fix this by initializing the temporary value before copying the regset
from userspace, as for other regsets (e.g. NT_PRSTATUS, NT_PRFPREG,
NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL). In the case of a zero-length or partial write, the
existing contents of the fields which are not written to will be
retained.

To ensure that the extraction and insertion of fields is consistent
across the GETREGSET and SETREGSET calls, new task_gcs_to_user() and
task_gcs_from_user() helpers are added, matching the style of
pac_address_keys_to_user() and pac_address_keys_from_user().

Currently tagged_addr_ctrl_set() doesn't initialize the temporary 'ctrl'
variable, and a SETREGSET call with a length of zero will leave this
uninitialized. Consequently tagged_addr_ctrl_set() will consume an
arbitrary value, potentially leaking up to 64 bits of memory from the
kernel stack. The read is limited to a specific slot on the stack, and
the issue does not provide a write mechanism.

As set_tagged_addr_ctrl() only accepts values where bits [63:4] zero and
rejects other values, a partial SETREGSET attempt will randomly succeed
or fail depending on the value of the uninitialized value, and the
exposure is significantly limited.

Fix this by initializing the temporary value before copying the regset
from userspace, as for other regsets (e.g. NT_PRSTATUS, NT_PRFPREG,
NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL). In the case of a zero-length write, the existing
value of the tagged address ctrl will be retained.

The NT_ARM_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL regset is only visible in the
user_aarch64_view used by a native AArch64 task to manipulate another
native AArch64 task. As get_tagged_addr_ctrl() only returns an error
value when called for a compat task, tagged_addr_ctrl_get() and
tagged_addr_ctrl_set() should never observe an error value from
get_tagged_addr_ctrl(). Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to both to indicate that
such an error would be unexpected, and error handlnig is not missing in
either case.

The warning has been produced since commit:

  3e25d5a49f99b75b ("asm-generic: add an optional pfn_valid check to page_to_phys")

... which added a pfn_valid() check into page_to_phys(), and at this
point in boot pfn_valid() will always return false because the vmemmap
has not yet been initialized and there are no valid mem_sections yet.

Before that commit, the arithmetic performed by page_to_phys() would
give the expected physical address, though it is somewhat dubious to use
vmemmap addresses before the vmemmap has been initialized.

Aside from kernel image addresses, all executable code should be
allocated from execmem (where all allocations will fall within the
vmalloc area), and so there's no need for the fallback case when
CONFIG_EXECMEM=n.

Simplify patch_map() accordingly, directly converting kernel image
addresses and removing the redundant fallback case.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "The biggest change here is eliminating the awful idea that KVM had of
  essentially guessing which pfns are refcounted pages.

  The reason to do so was that KVM needs to map both non-refcounted
  pages (for example BARs of VFIO devices) and VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXMEDMAP
  VMAs that contain refcounted pages.

  However, the result was security issues in the past, and more recently
  the inability to map VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory that _is_ backed by
  struct page but is not refcounted. In particular this broke virtio-gpu
  blob resources (which directly map host graphics buffers into the
  guest as "vram" for the virtio-gpu device) with the amdgpu driver,
  because amdgpu allocates non-compound higher order pages and the tail
  pages could not be mapped into KVM.

  This requires adjusting all uses of struct page in the
  per-architecture code, to always work on the pfn whenever possible.
  The large series that did this, from David Stevens and Sean
  Christopherson, also cleaned up substantially the set of functions
  that provided arch code with the pfn for a host virtual addresses.

  The previous maze of twisty little passages, all different, is
  replaced by five functions (__gfn_to_page, __kvm_faultin_pfn, the
  non-__ versions of these two, and kvm_prefetch_pages) saving almost
  200 lines of code.

  ARM:

   - Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and
     permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the
     emulated page table walker

   - Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This
     call was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request
     hibernation, similar to the S4 state in ACPI

   - Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As
     part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM
     context so KVM can use the corresponding traps

   - PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest
     hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a
     nested guest

   - Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table
     entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM

   - Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested
     synchronous external abort injection

   - Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and
     selftests

  LoongArch:

   - Add iocsr and mmio bus simulation in kernel.

   - Add in-kernel interrupt controller emulation.

   - Add support for virtualization extensions to the eiointc irqchip.

  PPC:

   - Drop lingering and utterly obsolete references to PPC970 KVM, which
     was removed 10 years ago.

   - Fix incorrect documentation references to non-existing ioctls

  RISC-V:

   - Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest

   - Perf support to collect KVM guest statistics from host side

  s390:

   - New selftests: more ucontrol selftests and CPU model sanity checks

   - Support for the gen17 CPU model

   - List registers supported by KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG in the
     documentation

  x86:

   - Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code,
     improve documentation, harden against unexpected changes.

     Even if the hardware A/D tracking is disabled, it is possible to
     use the hardware-defined A/D bits to track if a PFN is Accessed
     and/or Dirty, and that removes a lot of special cases.

   - Elide TLB flushes when aging secondary PTEs, as has been done in
     x86's primary MMU for over 10 years.

   - Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU when dirty page logging
     is toggled off, instead of zapping them and waiting until the page
     is re-accessed to create a huge mapping. This reduces vCPU jitter.

   - Batch TLB flushes when dirty page logging is toggled off. This
     reduces the time it takes to disable dirty logging by ~3x.

   - Remove the shrinker that was (poorly) attempting to reclaim shadow
     page tables in low-memory situations.

   - Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to
     MSR_IA32_APICBASE.

   - Advertise CPUIDs for new instructions in Clearwater Forest

   - Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs
     to their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM
     creating invalid vCPU state. E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to
     a non-zero value results in the vCPU having invalid state if
     userspace hides PDCM from the guest, which in turn can lead to
     save/restore failures.

   - Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support
     LA57 to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the
     actual behavior is poorly documented. E.g. most MSR writes and
     descriptor table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on
     whether the CPU supports LA57.

   - Bypass the register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out(),
     as filling the cache from IRQ context is generally unsafe; harden
     the cache accessors to try to prevent similar issues from occuring
     in the future. The issue that triggered this change was already
     fixed in 6.12, but was still kinda latent.

   - Advertise AMD_IBPB_RET to userspace, and fix a related bug where
     KVM over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor
     VMs.

   - Minor cleanups

   - Switch hugepage recovery thread to use vhost_task.

     These kthreads can consume significant amounts of CPU time on
     behalf of a VM or in response to how the VM behaves (for example
     how it accesses its memory); therefore KVM tried to place the
     thread in the VM's cgroups and charge the CPU time consumed by that
     work to the VM's container.

     However the kthreads did not process SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, and therefore
     cgroups which had KVM instances inside could not complete freezing.

     Fix this by replacing the kthread with a PF_USER_WORKER thread, via
     the vhost_task abstraction. Another 100+ lines removed, with
     generally better behavior too like having these threads properly
     parented in the process tree.

   - Revert a workaround for an old CPU erratum (Nehalem/Westmere) that
     didn't really work; there was really nothing to work around anyway:
     the broken patch was meant to fix nested virtualization, but the
     PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR is virtualized and therefore unaffected by the
     erratum.

   - Fix 6.12 regression where CONFIG_KVM will be built as a module even
     if asked to be builtin, as long as neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD is
     'y'.

  x86 selftests:

   - x86 selftests can now use AVX.

  Documentation:

   - Use rST internal links

   - Reorganize the introduction to the API document

  Generic:

   - Protect vcpu-&gt;pid accesses outside of vcpu-&gt;mutex with a rwlock
     instead of RCU, so that running a vCPU on a different task doesn't
     encounter long due to having to wait for all CPUs become quiescent.

     In general both reads and writes are rare, but userspace that
     supports confidential computing is introducing the use of "helper"
     vCPUs that may jump from one host processor to another. Those will
     be very happy to trigger a synchronize_rcu(), and the effect on
     performance is quite the disaster"

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Restructure the function graph shadow stack to prepare it for use
   with kretprobes

   With the goal of merging the shadow stack logic of function graph and
   kretprobes, some more restructuring of the function shadow stack is
   required.

   Move out function graph specific fields from the fgraph
   infrastructure and store it on the new stack variables that can pass
   data from the entry callback to the exit callback.

   Hopefully, with this change, the merge of kretprobes to use fgraph
   shadow stacks will be ready by the next merge window.

 - Make shadow stack 4k instead of using PAGE_SIZE.

   Some architectures have very large PAGE_SIZE values which make its
   use for shadow stacks waste a lot of memory.

 - Give shadow stacks its own kmem cache.

   When function graph is started, every task on the system gets a
   shadow stack. In the future, shadow stacks may not be 4K in size.
   Have it have its own kmem cache so that whatever size it becomes will
   still be efficient in allocations.

 - Initialize profiler graph ops as it will be needed for new updates to
   fgraph

 - Convert to use guard(mutex) for several ftrace and fgraph functions

 - Add more comments and documentation

 - Show function return address in function graph tracer

   Add an option to show the caller of a function at each entry of the
   function graph tracer, similar to what the function tracer does.

 - Abstract out ftrace_regs from being used directly like pt_regs

   ftrace_regs was created to store a partial pt_regs. It holds only the
   registers and stack information to get to the function arguments and
   return values. On several archs, it is simply a wrapper around
   pt_regs. But some users would access ftrace_regs directly to get the
   pt_regs which will not work on all archs. Make ftrace_regs an
   abstract structure that requires all access to its fields be through
   accessor functions.

 - Show how long it takes to do function code modifications

   When code modification for function hooks happen, it always had the
   time recorded in how long it took to do the conversion. But this
   value was never exported. Recently the code was touched due to new
   ROX modification handling that caused a large slow down in doing the
   modifications and had a significant impact on boot times.

   Expose the timings in the dyn_ftrace_total_info file. This file was
   created a while ago to show information about memory usage and such
   to implement dynamic function tracing. It's also an appropriate file
   to store the timings of this modification as well. This will make it
   easier to see the impact of changes to code modification on boot up
   timings.
